What's The First Anime You Ever Watched?

[Anime0w0]

Idk lol. Just tell us the first anime you watched! Is it the reason you love what you do?

For me it was Glitter Force! It definitely is NOT the reason I love anime tho. It wasn't Until I watched Sword Art Online that I fell in love with anime.
Just saying, I also don't really like Glitter Force that much anymore : P

The Pokemon anime was the first one I saw as a kid.

Sailor Moon was the first one I ever watched that I actually liked, though.

Indigo Leage 4 Ever <3

Um, Hamtaro when it was on Cartoon Network in my childhood. I didn't actually know what anime was until I was in like the seventh grade, though. I was familiar with manga, but I learned what anime was when my art teacher told me my characters looked very anime-ish and I had no idea what that meant.

Pokemon and Sailor Moon

PS: If you like Glitter Force checkout the Pretty Cure series, that is the Japanese name. I am currently on the 14th season titled Kira Kira Pretty Cure A La Mode.

First anime I technically saw was clips of Pokemon when I was a kid, but the first anime IIRC that I seriously watched was Toradora, which is still a favorite now.

Likely Sailor Moon. I used to watch it early in the mornings before school in elementary school.

First anime that didn't actually air on US television was Ouran High School Host Club I believe.

Naruto on Toonami was where it all began...

 

[Jimmu]

When I was a kid it was stuff like Pokémon and One Piece. After that I took a long break from anime until I saw the first season Sword Art Online back in 2012.

Sao for the win!

 

[Stitch]

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island

I mean...we are talking about animation from Japan, right?

 

[Anime0w0]

That's actually not an anime but it's fine! If you're happy I'm not rlly concerned.

This is what an anime would USUALLY be more like <3
(The images are of Danganronpa, Komi Can't Communicate, a UTAUloid named Ritsu and Charlotte)

I think it was either the original Dragon Ball or Tenchi Muyo

It was definitely Pokémon, then Digimon. My older sister used to watch Sailor Moon, but I couldn't get into it. Later on I watched DragonBall Z and loved it, and I also used to watch Inuyasha a lot. I began watching Naruto around 2005 too.

I don't watch anime too often, but some of the animes I've enjoyed lately are different from the typical shonen formula. I really liked Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Attack on Titan, those are more up the alley of what I was watching when I was younger, however a bit more complex narratively. I just finished Death Note and liked it a lot. Kaguya-Sama: Love is War has been a blast. However my favorite anime is still probably Steins;Gate.

As far as the first anime I saw, Pokemon takes the cake with Yu Gi Oh! and Digimon closely following. I also vaguely recall getting into Shaman King before Naruto arrived as the first true gateway anime for me back in 2005.

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island

I mean...we are talking about animation from Japan, right?

It does have a song that can do battle with even the most iconic anime openings and endings.
