In 1998 I watched all of Slayers fansubbed on VHS thanks to my friend's otaku older sister. Now I'm 30 and currently watching Mushishi which is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM3LsADMyqU

My First Anime™ was "The Noozles", which is a kids show that my mom put on because I was like 3years old and so koalas were right up there with ninjas and frogs. The Noozles is about koala wizards that come from a parallel dimension(called Koala-walla land) and hang out with some girl. With the exception of the two primary koala wizards, the entirety of the koala wizard race are fiercely racist and so the two primary koala wizards have to disguise our protagonist as a koala so she can enter the koala-walla land without being straight-up loving murdered by racist koala wizards(they spoke at great length about how great it would be to murder humans, iirc). As far as I can remember(and this was over 20 years ago), the girls dad was an archaeologist in Australia trying to prevent the apocalypse, which occurs when the KoalaWalla Land separates from our world due to, I don't remember, earthquakes or some poo poo. Every time I talk about this show people think I'm trolling but not only did it exist, it also aired on nickleodeon in the late 80s so american television execs were like "Yeah this is cool, put this on." I got "seriously" into anime when the entire forums got sucked into Haruhi Fever and I watched it and it was loving awful and I went in the haruhi thread to talk about how bad it was and someone told me about other shows that weren't bad and I've been here since. I don't watch anymore, though, no time

Legends of Galactic heroes when i was >10 years old in italy. For some reason they had a lot of anime during the 90s Very bizarre show to watch. Just a lot of spaceships silently exploding in space and a lot of bored guys in weird clothes looking on.

The first anime I cared about was Sailor Moon when I was very young. That caused me to start looking up lovely "how to draw anime" tutorials that had Haddaway - What is Love.mid blaring in the background.

My first anime was either Pokemon or Dragonball Z although at that point I wasn't really aware of what anime was. When I was 13 one of my friends said that they were a big fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I had heard of that because my brother watched it, so I searched through the computer and found two videos labelled "End of Evangelion". I thought I would be cool to just watch the end of evangelion so I could seem like an expert on the show without having seen it. I think just watching that would be weird enough, but the files were not labelled part 1 or 2, they had their text titles were are not immediately obvious which comes first. So I ended up watching the second part first. This basically starts off with a boy screaming in a giant robot sky cross and some guy reaching his hand into a naked girl who then floats up into a giant naked human nailed to a cross. I was completely baffled but very entertained. It made slightly more sense when I watched the first half of the movie but it was only when I had actually watched the TV series a couple years later that I actually understood most of it. End of Evangelion is actually still one of my favourite movies.

Oh god, I think I saw End of Eva for the first time the exact same way. I didn't watch it out of order, the files were labeled properly, but it was still split into two "episodes" like that with an ED after each one.

I have vague recollections of a Dragonball Z VHS tape I watched when I was six or something. It was the Cell Saga, if I'm remembering things correctly.

I'm almost positive the very first one I saw was Ronin Warriors, which would've been in 1995. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvfX1JJpxF0 I distinctly remember drawing sketches of the protagonist with his two swords that combined into one sword.

I mean, I was exposed to Pokemon as a kid, but I didn't really give a poo poo about it for the most part. But probably Pokemon. First anime I actively liked was Shaman King, because I'd been reading it in Shonen Jump.

Captain Harlock, UFO Robot Grendizer, and The Mysterious Cities of Gold. One of those was the first. In french, because that was one of the few things we got on the like 5 channels that we had when I was a wee child. Sometimes, my mind still goes to "Goldorak" before Mazinger when a "Rocket Punch" is mentioned.

I saw Spirited Away a lot as a kid but assumed it just another Disney movie because of dub + Disney logos. First anime I sought out and watched was te Ghost in the Shell movies on Netflix in October 2011.

That's how the movie is, it has a little intermission and title cards labeled 25' and 26'.

Probably Astro Boy. The first anime I can clearly remember watching and knowing that it was different from cartoons was Galaxy Express 999 on some channel back in the early 80s when I was a kid. It was probably the terrible dub version but at the time I thought that it was amazing although I was pretty scared about ice robot ladies making me stay with them forever in a frozen cemetary.

The dogs fight other dogs and also bears anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4_mrdCI6Rw It's this whole cult phenomenon in the nordics because almost every 20-something came into contact with those tapes some time in the early 90s. It was dubbed by three people who most likely also made up like 75% of the localization crew.

I was going to say Mega Man, but after looking it up it turns out it was some kinda weird hybrid Japanese/American thing, which sorta counts I guess? I suppose after that it'd be the first Pokemon series. Then some people I knew through a MUD shared some Naruto with me. I was on dial up at the time, so every 22 hours I had the next fansubbed episode.

The first actual anime I ever watched was M.D. Geist and it gave me quite the culture shock in comparison to the usual saturday morning cartoon and disney stuff I was used to. There was a single channel that showed some of these old anime on sunday evenings around midnight and I had stumbled upon it by accident, wondering why they are showing cartoons in that time slot. The most fascinating thing to me was the fact that there was so little animation to it in comparison to the western cartoons that I likened it more to something out of a slide projector. Having to read subtitles on top of that helped to make it an interesting enough change of pace to hold my attention and I kept tuning in week after week to eventually see stuff like Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Record of Lodoss War, Gunsmith Cats, Bubblegum Crisis, Ghost in the Shell and other similar movies. I have never rewatched M.D. Geist and given that I had trouble actually keeping up with it due to being a slow reader, I still don't really remember what it was about. The title stuck to me though because the gratuitous German name for a Japanese cartoon was perplexing. I didn't see Dragon Ball and Pokemon until a few years later, but at that point I was at least already aware of japanese cartoons being a bit different. Anime confused me into liking it, I suppose.

Late night Sci-fi channel on Saturdays. So basically;Beasteh posted:hosed up hentai when I was like 13 Sakurazuka posted:Same only Urotsukidoji What these two said.  Plus things like Goku midnight eye, Dominion Tank Police, Dirty Pair(?) Ghost in the Shell and other 80's stuff. It was a pretty great block of random crazy crap and I remember being up late to set the VHS recording the channel so I could watch it the next day.  Sci-fi channel, you were good once. Maybe you still are.

Dai no Daiboken, Thunder Jet, Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk, Romeo and the black brothers, The Treasure Island anime. Oh man nostalgia.[e:]How could I forget! Doraemon!

Back in the early 80's there used to be a show on KTLA in Los Angeles called "Family Film Festival". They used to show a lot of weird kids movies like the Pippi Longstocking films and "The Incredible Mister Limpett". Anyway, I turned it on one day just in time to see "Space Battleship Yamato". I'd never seen anything like that before, and I was hooked.
