Adam S.	First Anime June 07, 2004 6:38 PM hey I was wondering what anime got people into anime? When I was young I loved Robotech, I thought it was the coolest, and of course there is astroboy then my dad rented me Akira... so that's where I started... [ send green star] [ accepted]
Spydre W.	June 07, 2004 7:01 PM what started me off was Gundam Wing, then came robotech, after that was umm..... Neon Genesis Evangelion, next was rurouni kenshin, inuyasha, big-o, cowboy bebop, and last but not least, a movie called Yukikaze.. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Annie S.	First anime June 07, 2004 7:05 PM Hmm...let's see. I guess the first anime I can remember appreciating as anime was "Princess Mononoke". Quite some time after seeing that, I happened to see a thing for "Please Save My Earth" on Netflix, so I rented that and enjoyed it. The first thing that REALLY got me into anime would probably be watching Inuyasha on Adult Swim (yes, I watch the dubbed version. Big deal). I still don't think I can be labeled as an "anime fan" because I don't really seek out new anime. I just like a few shows that happen to be anime. I'm sure there were several anime shows that I watched when I was younger, but since I didn't know what anime was at the time, I just thought of them as cartoons like any other cartoon I watched. Thus, I can't really remember any. [ send green star] [ accepted]

Ron L.	June 08, 2004 6:51 AM I grew up watching Professor IQ, Robotech, Gundam, and Voltron. I remember seeing the 11 eps. OVA of Tenchi Muyo in college (not the tv series). Fushigi Yuugi, Inuyasha, Ayashi No Ceres, alot of the Miyazaki stuff. I also watched Saturday Anime on SciFi which featured Iria, Armitage III, Demon City, is that on anymore or is it only Adult Swim? [ send green star]
Laura L.	Intro To Anime... June 08, 2004 9:48 AM Started watching anime in college with Five Star Story and City Hunter. Was introduced to Fushugi Yugi and manga about the same time and I was pretty hooked. Fell in love with Kenshin next and introduced it to all of my friends. =) Read the translation for Inuyasha online and then watched the anime. Then Armitage III, Ayashi No Ceres, numerous Miyazaki works, and Pilot for Candidate. Most recent animes are Somedays Dreamers, Princess Tutu, and currently watching Witch Hunter Robin. [ send green star]
Annie S.	Witch Hunter Robin June 08, 2004 10:37 AM You'll like Witch Hunter Robin. It's a pretty short series, but it gets really interesting into the second half of the series. I was kind of bored with it at first, but I'm glad I stuck around. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Chris S.	June 12, 2004 6:24 PM Voltron was the first that I saw. I miss it ever so much... That was when I was little. The next was probably Gundam Wing, which is one of my favorite anime series. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Spydre W.	Princess Mononoke June 16, 2004 10:52 AM i have just recently seen Princess Mononoke. Pretty interesting. Told my mom bout it, and now she wants to see it!! [ send green star] [ accepted]
anonymous	June 16, 2004 2:16 PM Inuyasha [report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]
Ayesha R.	I got hooked .. June 18, 2004 8:37 PM after watching Captain Harlock and Robotech. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Meg B.	June 24, 2004 6:46 PM I watched the "Unico" movies (those are a rare find these days!) as a young child... Then "Sailor Moon" was on the UPN network when I reached middle school, so I watched that before school in the mornings... In high school, a friend had me watch "Ranma½" with him and I was pretty well hooked but I had no way of getting more anime... So finally, in college, I met up with a boy who made me sit through "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and I had a means of buying more through a local anime store. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Jonathan S.	anime, July 02, 2004 9:04 PM starship trooper yamato!!! (i was 7 years old then) i was enjoying sesame street on these times, i missed mr.hoooper alltime faves: voltez-v, mazinger-z & daimos [ send green star] [ accepted]

Aaron K.	My first time... July 17, 2004 12:25 PM ...Hmm its been so long...Im not too sure exactly what my first anime was, but I know I got into it because of my older brother, he liked anime a lot. I think the first for me was Macross, that and Ninja Scroll. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Michelle B.	Oh dear July 17, 2004 12:38 PM I guess I'm the only person who started off with pokemon and Dragon ball z lmao oh dear. Then I started watching InuYasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Vampire Princess Miyu.. Angel Sanctuar ^^; ya I remember i started watching anime in 5th grade, when I told somebody "dragon boy z" was stupid. lol and I watched it and I was like. okay maybe not. lol [ send green star] [ accepted]
Michelle B.	O.o July 17, 2004 12:43 PM I meant Angel Sanctuary ... really. ^^ [ send green star] [ accepted]
Stephen D.	not first July 26, 2004 10:25 AM It's not my first, but my favorite to this day, Ninja Scroll without a doubt! Princess Mononoke was good, saw it a year ago. I think my first might have been Starblazers come to thing of it, and Voltron. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Stephen D.	New Anime!! July 26, 2004 10:28 AM Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is coming out in the movies next month. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Aaron K.	O.O July 26, 2004 1:55 PM ANOTHER GHOST IN THE SHELL!?!?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?????????????????? OMG THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIME'S EVER!!!!!!!!!! Bleh, now Im going to be waiting for it to come out, ahh you have made my last days of summer pass by slower, thank you ^_^ [ send green star] [ accepted]
Sam L.	First Anime August 02, 2004 6:52 PM When I was really little Sailor Moon was on UPN and I would get up at 5 or 5:30 just to watch it. Now being older I realize how edited the show it. The best way to go with that show is to get the uncut seasons. The last season (Sailor Stars) is the best! Other good animes that I adore are Serial Experiments Lain, Cowboy Bebop, and Azumanga Daioh. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Meg B.	August 03, 2004 9:47 AM Uncut's okay, but I can't stand the Japanese voices (yes, I'm a rabid sub fan)--never could tell the difference between Usagi and Luna and Usagi was about ten times as annoying as in the English. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Salena W.	August 03, 2004 12:11 PM Spirted Away and Princess Mononoke were the first ones that really got me into anime. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Rachel T.	As a little kid.... August 04, 2004 5:49 AM ..I constantly watched Voltron, and a little Sailor Moon. But I didn't totally turn otaku until I saw Vampire Hunter D. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Gaizka M.	August 05, 2004 6:06 AM The first I'd seen didn't get my attention, but I started loving anime since I saw Ghost in the Shell and Spriggan. P.S.: Akira sucks [ send green star] [ accepted]
Aaron K.	O.O August 08, 2004 8:29 PM How can you say Akira sucks??? Thats one of the BEST animes EVER!! And for someone who like Spirggan, I would assume you like Akira too [ send green star] [ accepted]
Rachel T.	Honestly.... August 09, 2004 5:48 AM After watching Akira for the 1st time, I thought the movie would have been much cooler, if I had had a few mixed drinks first. o^_^o The first series I ever collected all of, was Tenchi Muyo...within 2 months of seeing my first episode, I owned all of Tenchi Muyo, Techi Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo. I just Luuuv Ryoko, but I was told I talk and laugh like Washu. How bad is that?! ^_^ [ send green star] [ accepted]
Ron L.	August 09, 2004 6:04 AM Gaizka, this is a thread to discuss your introduction to anime. If you want to do a review of a certain anime and discuss the good and bad points, please do so in another thread and let's not try to start fights. Rachel shall hence forth be called "Little Washu" ^_^; j/k [ send green star]
Gaizka M.	August 24, 2004 1:34 PM i know and i made my intro. i said that akira sux coz as Aaron said "is I would assume you like Akira too". I dont want to other plp asume that, so i say first. there isnt any fight. so as u did, his is a thread to discuss your introduction to anime. [ send green star] [ accepted]
JeN C.	Back in tha day... October 12, 2004 5:33 PM I think the first animé I ever watched was Astroboy, along with reading the comics (north american comic books, not the manga). Then, in grade 6, I became obsessed with Sailor Moon (still am a bit) and it just progressed from there. Right now I am partial to Cowboy Bebop and Ranma 1/2. Can't get enough of good ol' quirky Ranma! [ send green star] [ accepted]
Ron L.	October 13, 2004 6:31 AM Welcome to the Anime group, Jen. It's interesting how our Anime tastes develop...maybe that could be another topic ^_^ [ send green star]
Pat C.	ah sweet memoirs October 19, 2004 6:16 PM wow it has been awhile since ive had one of these questions. my first anime was Cowboy Bebop. still a great anime. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Sandra G.	first anime? October 23, 2004 1:48 AM my first anime hmmm. . i think its voltes 5 or daimos and also candy-candy. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Sarah P.	November 04, 2004 8:15 PM I got into anime because of a guy I dated about 7 years ago who draws anime. He's actually a little bit famous now. Anyone heard of Bryan O'Malley? He has two books out now: Lost at Sea and Scott Pilgrim. The first show I watched was Sailor Moon...I know, kinda lame and mainstream...but oh well...who can resist Tuxedo Mask?!! [ send green star] [ accepted]
Widiyanto P.	November 18, 2004 11:41 PM my first anime... i guess i started with patlabour, then battosai, inuyasa, gundams would be great one to watch and final fantasy too. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Rafael E.	anybody remember November 19, 2004 12:17 PM mazinger Z? Balatak A? Daimos? Voltez V? [ send green star] [ accepted]
Ron L.	November 19, 2004 12:29 PM Daimos looks familiar...I saw a bunch of mechs in my youth while in HK but can't recall all the names [ send green star]
James H.	My First Anime November 19, 2004 5:33 PM As a child I love G-Force, Voltron and I was totally into Robotech. Then I moved on to dragonball Z. After a bit I started ordering anime from japan. I got ninja scroll, legend of the overfiend, bubblegum crisis and that was it for me. Now I am a die hard anime freak. LOL [ send green star] [ accepted]
Elizabeth H.	November 29, 2004 7:54 PM My now husband hooked me in with Outlaw Star. I always loved cartoons, even as an adult, so it was a natural progression. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Veronica W.	November 30, 2004 3:21 PM My first anime? Wow.. Um.. Well the literal first one I watched was a subbed version of Sailor Moon Super S. But right after that (the same day) I watched Witch Hunter Robin, Inuyahsa, Ayashi no Ceres, Fushigi Yugi, Battle Athletes, Excel Saga, Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, Princess Mononoke and Akria. ... My best friend had decided to give me a crash course in anime that day. I must say, I've never properly thanked her for starting me down a path that would see me spending nearly all of my paycheck everyweek at the anime/manga store. So yeah, those are my first animes. But it wasn't until about a month later that I got bored and sat down to watch Ghost in the Shell that I was really hooked. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Erin H.	November 30, 2004 3:50 PM Hey Feu! Me... Let me see... My firsts where Speed Racer and Voltron. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Veronica W.	ERIN!!!!!!!!!!! December 02, 2004 10:26 AM Ack!! Hugs Erin! It's one of the ones who got me hooked on anime! You may have escaped watching D.N.Angel last time I saw you Erin, but next time? Oh yes next time you WILL watch it. And if sitting through Chobits is the price I have to pay to make you watch it, then so be it. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Lady Athenis M.	December 26, 2004 5:43 AM *~ Greetings from the Netherworld ~* Oh, Gods... MY first anime??? At the risk of dating myself... Kimba the White Lion! How many here have heard/seen that one? If not, think of Disney's Lion King only Anime style that involved relationships between humans at some point in the later episodes of the stories. The young Kimba even learned to speak "human" amongst the company of the bipeds! But the beginning of the whole thing is/was identical to The Loin King! The only 'major' differences: in Kimba, he had an older sister, Leona, a female sidekick named Kitty, an advisor/guide baboon named Daniel, and the major sidekick of 'his Uncle Scar' (yes Kimba's uncle had the same name) was a black panther who's name escapes me right now, as well as TWO hyenas, whereas Lion King has THREE hyenas, no panther, no older sis, and a warthog and merecat. The father dies pretty much the same way-- is killed-- and Kimba is outcasted... yadda, yadda, yadda. You get the picture. After that, it was G-Force; some anime that involved a bigass battlecruiser-type ship that traveled space (name?); Voltron (5 Lions); ROBOTECH-- never missed an episode; Robotech-Next Gen; Robotech- Sentinels (both aired very briefly); and then I found that most t.v. wouldn't broadcast it for, like forever, until I saw Akira aired on HBO! *Rented out Vampire Hunter D* and various others from time to time when I found them... Quite by accident, I discovered "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network, which turned me on to-- who else?-- INUYASHA! My DVD collection will soon be starting here... I'm starting to becoame a fan of Full Metal Alchemist now too. Lady Athenis Medusaen** [ send green star] [ accepted]
Kasey F.	December 28, 2004 5:04 PM Hehe, My first was Sailormoon, and I got into DragonballZ after that, but I first realized anime was anime with Inuyasha. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Stephen O.	Sorry about this, but I'm old... December 29, 2004 3:02 PM I don't know if anyone here will remember this one, but my first introduction was "Lum". She was so cute, and seemed so innocent. Steve [ send green star] [ accepted]
Jillian B.	January 04, 2005 8:03 AM The very first one that I saw was Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku! I learned that it wasn't exactly mainstream when I went to Otakon dressed as her --- but some people still recognized me. I think I saw a few episodes of Sailor Moon S (Uranus' backstory!) and some Tenchi. Heh, after that, it sort of took off. Working through Last Exile right now --- meow! [ send green star] [ accepted]
Rob M.	hhhhhhmmmmmmmm...... January 06, 2005 3:16 AM hey yall, Well, originally it must have been Akira, then for weekly tv, I guess it was ROBOTECH. My old pal / crazy roomate Max used to try to get me into various anime that I just didn't like too much, but finally Robotech must have hooked me over the years. Also, Ghost in the Shell [the feature film] got me in, & when I started watchin' Bebop, well, I was seriously hooked. My biggest surprise was Trigun; at first it seemed silly or cheezy, but it grew on me. Peace, Rob =][= [ send green star] [ accepted]
Cat S.	January 20, 2005 1:58 AM dragonball z got me into anime i even made a story about it with goku and vegeta lol vegeta is funny when he is angry [ send green star] [ accepted]
Lawrence L.	Hi there January 31, 2005 5:11 PM When I was young, the first anime I really liked was Astro Boy, but I also liked Universial Ridder, Transformers, Thunder Cats (I think that was anime), and Voltron. The thing is, it wasn't till I was in my teans that I started thinking of anime as anime. I tend to prefer children's titles, but I also like supernatural titles like Witch Hunter Robin. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Jo K.	My first March 10, 2005 7:38 AM My first Anime had to be Starblazers and/or G-Force. I actually watched a couple of episodes recently and couldn't believe how dated they felt...but you always remember your first. In recent history it would have to be Gundam Wing and Escaflowne that brought me back to the genre [ send green star] [ accepted]
Andres V.	I guess March 13, 2005 7:09 AM That my fist anime was Mazinger Z, and the saber rider, and all those old anime series of the old age, but what really got me in the anime thing as a grown up was Evangelion. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Maria H.	Voltron! March 16, 2005 3:33 PM The first one I remember was Voltron, then Speed Racer. I didn't discover Sailor Moon til high school (deprived childhood, I guess) but now that's probably my favorite. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Stacie R.	March 16, 2005 3:47 PM It was Akira. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Gesikah L.	Miyazaki March 19, 2005 1:31 AM My mom rented Spirited Away for me, she thought it looked interesting... Little did she know what would happen because of that movie! I rented InuYasha shortly afterward, then the Cowboy Bebop movie.. then Laputa.. and I havn't stopped! People say I've seen too much anime for my own good, and now I draw it and hope to become a professional animator someday. So I must give my thanks someday to Miyazaki-sama. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Maria T.	First ? Hmmm.... March 29, 2005 10:56 AM I watched Voltez V when I still 2nd grade (it's 20 yeas ago, wow...so long ago). I still love Kenichi.Then God Shogun and Candy Candy (oh, Anthony) After that I fall in love with manga, but still love anime too,specially Rose of Versailles and Fushigi Yuugi. I love CLAMP,Yuu Watase,Kyoko Hikawa,Kao Yung,Riyoko Ikeda (who's works help me leaning history ) [ send green star] [ accepted]
Stephen H.	hmmm... March 29, 2005 2:07 PM teknoman(tekkaman blade) i used to skip church in the morning just to watch it on tv. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Penny P.	My first... March 29, 2005 2:56 PM Ok.. my first was actually, Berserk ( dont think I spelled that right), but at that same time I was getting sucked into Inuyasha. Whats weird is when I was a kid, I hated cartoons. It wasn't until, my boyfriend introduced me to anime that I realized how awsome it is. My favorite so far is Trigun, but I like Ghost in the shell, and Cowboy Beebop. I've been watching Aquateen Hunger Force lately... man what a weird series, but funny as hell. Inuyasha is a favorite too. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Feral C.	Sailor Moon April 09, 2005 9:32 PM You know, I actually hate Sailor Moon when I first saw it. I asked my son, "What the heck is up with their mouths when they yell?" I thought it was the most dorkified thing I ever saw. But, the show grew on me and the rest is history. Now my favorite is Cowboy Bebop (Spike makes me wish I were a cartoon), and also Fullmetal Alchemist. Oh yeah, that one ties pretty strongly with GITS right now. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Kasandra G.	sailor moon April 26, 2005 7:59 AM I was really young when I first saw anime and my parents never like the thought of me whatching it but I can't stand the first seson let alone the dubed american version of things so I have to watch it in the original version plus the original makes a lot more sence [ send green star] [ accepted]
Chris F.	April 28, 2005 3:15 PM I saw various anime back in the 80s, then started liking Sailor Moon in high school. I actually started getting up on time so I could watch it before I had to catch the bus. Unfortunately, I didn't discover it until a few months before I moved. New Kimagure Orange Road is what really made me get into anime. My wife and I started renting all the anime Hollywood Video and Blockbuster had. We're slowly building up our personal collection, but anime is so expensive! [ send green star] [ accepted]
Thomas P.	May 08, 2005 2:27 PM speed racer was the first but i thought of it as a cartoon. Evangelion was the first i thought of as anime(probably cuz it was japanese w/ subtitles). the first I was obsessed with was Trigun, then FLCL, now them and Ranma1/2 [ send green star] [ accepted]
Kasandra G.	price May 16, 2005 8:51 AM yeah the price of such things are really high and super hard to get a hold of here [ send green star] [ accepted]

Donegal H.	My first anime,,, June 16, 2005 9:02 PM When I was little, I watche Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyo, but I never really got into the whole anime thing. Then, about 3 years ago, I saw the movie "Spirited Away", and that's what really got me going. Now, My favorite anime is Dragonball Z (I love Piccolo!), and other favorites include Yu Yu Hakusho (second only to DBZ), Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Fullmetal Alchemist, not to mention the movies I like (Spirited Away; Ghost in the Shell; Tekken; My Neighbor, Totoro). So in three short years I've gone from anime-oblivious to anime-obsessed. [ send green star] [ accepted]

My first anime was and old one, I don't remember very well the Japanese title, but it was something along "Robin Hood no Daibôken". (Obvously a Robin Hood anime). Here is one picture d Marian, if anyone else recognized this anime. I was traumatized with this anime I could NOT get enough of it!

My First Anime February 01, 2006 3:02 PM Okay, my very first had to be Candy Candy, I'm sure I saw other ones before like Kimba, AstroBoy or Princesa Caballero (sorry don't know the name in English ^_^) but that one got me hook into anime, after that came Remi, Barner and Flappy and others, then for many years I didn't get to see any new anime on TV until Saint Seiya, that got me hook again and got me broke also ^_^;;; Waaaaa!! Why is so expensive!!!

Rita B.	who popped my anime cherry?!?!? March 07, 2006 6:15 PM Well, I would have to say that when I was younger, I LOVED Sailor Moon, but it got too complicated, because it got too syndicated. Later in life, I saw Vampire Hunter D That was awesome. But I was never into anime as a "group" until a few years ago, when I found .....drumroll please..... InuYasha! I absolutely love him!!!! I also love FMA, s-CRY-ed, and Ghost in the Shell. I don't have any other members yet, but I started an InuYasha group, for anyone that's interested... http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/love_inuyasha join if you like InuYasha as much as me!

Valerie P.	two firsts April 10, 2007 9:22 PM When I was young, it was Dragon Ball. Back then, I didn't know what anime was. Unfortunately, I strayed from it for many years. I didn't have anyone who could introduce me to the world. When I was 18, I finally had a friend who introduced me to Animerica (the magazine...remember when it used to have actual MANGA?). Well, I got hooked to Fushigi Yuugi. I ended up buying VHS tapes (this was before I had an actual income). You could say that was my "second" first anime. I've been hooked (on anime) for going on twelve years. And I can't live without it. [ send green star] [ accepted]
anonymous	Vampire Hunter D May 12, 2007 12:18 PM Back in the day, when Scifi Channel showed anime, I saw Vampire Hunter D. Blew my mind. Never saw blood and gore in animation before Vampire Hunter D. It is my first love. [report anonymous abuse] [ accepted]
Valerie P.	May 12, 2007 12:58 PM I do like Vampire Hunter D. Don't think I liked the second movie as much. But the first one made me want to write a fanfic. Lucky for the masses, I didn't. (Actually, I overwhelmingly prefer writing originals to anything else. But that's anothe topic.) [ send green star] [ accepted]
Evie D.	May 12, 2007 4:22 PM Fushigi Yuugi is my favorite anime of all! I love the shojo anime and more recently I have been watching Ouran High School Host Club, it's hilarious! When you don't have the money there's always youtube...that's what I have to do to get my fix because I definately don't have hundreds of dollars to buy the whole series.

Valerie P.	May 12, 2007 6:48 PM You like Ouran Host Club? Go to GUBA. They have the whole series. And oh yeah!...it's free. But it's in subtitles. You don't mind, do you? This post was modified from its original form on 12 May, 18:49 [ send green star] [ accepted]
Zelda D.	I am a late bloomer November 14, 2007 3:07 PM The series and the movie that got me interested on Animes was Full metal Alchemist. at first I did'nt like it because of the big metal guy. but once I realized why he was metal i kinda got into it. The philosopher's stone closed the deal. I just could'nt get enough. Envy,lust,greed,rose,hoenhyme of light, and hughs. I think I fell for ed and Mustang. the one character I think i was most like was hawkeye. She was perfect for mustang. she was very protective of him. This all has comeabout in the just the last two years. I am 40 years old. Iguess i am late to the party. [ send green star] [ accepted]

Rosa Cinderella S.	rumiko style March 14, 2009 12:08 AM i first loved anime since the Sailor Moon series and Yuyu Hakusho (Poltergeist Report/Ghost Fighter), but what really made me a complete otaku is the anime Inu-Yasha (Sengoku Jidai) by Rumiko Takahashi. Since then, I've also loved Ranma 1/2 (Nibun no Ichi), Meitantei Conan (Detective Conan), and anime titles of CLAMP! (Card Captor Sakura, Chobits, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Lelouch of the Rebellion) [ send green star] [ accepted]
