Bleach. It had a strong start and I needed more cool swords in my life.

1980s Voltron. I remember being a kid in the 90s and finding a VHS at the neighborhood video rental place and thinking “What…is this!???”

Pokémon, when I was younger.

It was the Street Fighter 2 animated film for me. I know that is a weird one.

Fuuuuck I haven't seen this in forever

Gotta watch FLCL again. I loved it!

Toonami but the one that got me to explore the medium is FLCL

Someone else of culture i see.

Naruto for sure

Can't deny the hold the Puma sisters had on me

Vampire Hunter D

I do enjoy Tenchi in Tokyo. Has been a bit since I last watched it, maybe a rewatch is due.

Jungle Taitei (the first one) and Captain Future.

Inu-yasha

Captain Future, The wonderful adventures of Nils, Pinocchio. But i didn't know it was anime back then. I just thought it was cartoons. The first anime I knew was anime was Sailor Moon i think.

Outlaw Star

Fairy Tail

Dragonball and g gundam

Those nights when I didn't have school the next day. And I was allowed to stay up late and watch the sci-fi channel on the big TV. That's what done it for me.

The best anime did.

Junior-high-me got this and Bubblegum Crisis on the same day, and that was it, I was hooked,

Naruto easily

I was a little kid in the seventies (LATE seventies) when 'Battle of the Planets' (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) and 'Star Blazers' (Space Battlecruiser Yamoto) aired in the US. Mind. Blown.

I'm not that cool.

My dad showed me Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato) as a kid, which sparked the first bit of interest. As I grew, I really liked the aesthetics and art style of anime, and wanted to check it out myself after seeing it everywhere

Robotech, and then through learning more about it realizing that my first anime were actually Battle of the Planets and Speed Racer.

Yuuuuuup a friend showed me the 03 FMA intro and it blew my mind.

I was only a few years old when I saw this on tv and was instantly hooked: Macron 1

Unknowingly growing up on Battle of The Planets and Ulysses 31. First series that I knew was anime would be Fist of the North Star.

Death Note

Samurai Pizza Cats was my first anime. Galaxy Fraulein Yuna was my first anime I knew was anime

Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Hamtaro, and Tokyo Mew Mew.

AOT season 1 for me, I was a little scarred 😂

Cowboy Bebop

Zatch Bell

Fuck too much to list: Ronin Warriors, Sailor Moon, Gigantor, Cyborg 009, Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman, ThunderCats, DragonBall, anything Sci-Fi channel or Cartoon Network/Toonami put on from 1997 to 2005.

pokemon n DBZ

Believe it or not, this was my turning point to watching anime for "THE Plot", and not for "the PLOT!", if you catch my drift.

Bleach It wasn't my first anime but it was the first to make me actively search for more anime

There was either Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh! or what was the name of that white lion again?

No fucking clue, there was literally an anime channel in the late 90's-2000's in Chile so i always watched it, it was no different for me than watching any cartoon

OVA = Battle Angel, Show = Outlaw Star, and Movie = not sure, lol. I suppose Ghost in the Shell

media1.tenor.com/m/S6D1nwICUS...

Easy

All the 80s cartoons actually animated by Japanese animation studios.

Detective Conan

Yu-Gi-Oh

The world building was so amazing to me, especially combined with this sort of high school drama. Loved the bug people, the magic, the advanced tech combined with medieval societies. Also still hilarious, like how their teacher gains super powers through sobriety

okay, I realize my last post was basically like saying "the one with the guy"

My reintroduced anime was my hero academia it has helped me so much

The Seven Deadly Sins

Greatest animated film of the 80s

Yeah, Akira! www.imdb.com/title/tt0094...

akira

Unless you count my brief stint as a kid, but then you’d have to blame this bad boy:

Soul eater in high school. Had the anime club and that was one we all voted to watch and I'm like oh this is nice.

I'm still a newbie when it comes to this, but... Do Kappa Mickey and Avatar: The Last Airbender count? Do people even remember the first show?

aways on my hearts ❤️

Law of Ueki is such a wild series.

Literally anything on T.V. in the late 90's early 20's. I was not picky.

Either Sailor Moon or Pokemon.

DIGIMON

I saw the Naruto vs Neji fight on CN and was hooked. Also around then DBZ Kai started airing

Bleach or Naruto

my dad loves this show

Welcome! To the NHK I was a weird 13 yo kid searching on pirate websites. Still a weird adult tho

Cavaleiros do Zodíaco / Saint Seiya

Sailor Moon

A pretty common one i think maybe 🤔

The Slayers. Best Anime Ever.

Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Cardcaptor and Gundam Wing

Cowboy Bebop got me not only into anime, but also into serialised storytelling

Love theme song of that show

Somehow stumbling upon this dude and his band of buddies cracking cases at like 5 AM on Toonami when I was getting up for school lmao

The real X

Saw this mech as an action figure and it was over for me.

I watched DBZ from start to finish on Toonami. Remember vividly excitedly getting home after school for the penultimate episode when Goku uses the spirit bomb on Kid Buu. My first pirated anime was Naruto when I got tired of waiting for the Chuunin exam arc to air weekly

Sailor Moon, DiC dub version.

It was the most impressive animation I had ever seen up to that point, even if the version I saw was edited for english audiences. Gave me goosebumps. I saw the real version shortly after.

Frosty the Snowman.

Depending on how you measure it, Totoro, Ranma 1/2, The Big O or .hack//SIGN.

Sailor Moon when I didn't know what anime was, and all the stuff on Toonami like Gundam Wing, DBZ, Pilot Candidate, Tenshi Muyo...ahh those were the days.
