I watched anime before I really knew what it was, with Voltron in the '80s. I also saw an episode of Gatchaman (er, G-Force) when I was in a hotel that I really liked, but never was able to really find it again. Noozles too, on Nick Jr.
In the late '90s I had an interest in Final Fantasy so my brother rented the anime sequel to Final Fantasy V. It was bad, but it whet our appetites, and we went on to Ranma, Tenchi Muyo, Macross and so on.

Okay, this is embarrassing, but there was a novelty resurgence of this show back in the early 90s and my aunt had been a huge fan when she was five so she got us all to watch it on tape. Speed Racer -- the original version I loved it. Seriously. She also told me about a show called "Marine Boy" that was on around the same time. Has anyone seen this? It has a wikipedia page, but I'd love to find a dvd as a surprise for her. I'm sure it's a hoot. Especially the topless mermaid.

hmm, first movie was Kiki's Delivery Service (I was like 6). I watched my first anime because I heard the title song online. That show went by the name of Shakugan no Shana.

Pokemon, but I don't count that as my first because I was in...like 2nd grade and I had no clue what anime was. Plus, it didn't lead into anything else. So Pokemon wasn't what started it.
Then there was Sailor Moon, but I don't count that as a first either, because again I was really young and I had no clue what anime was. It led to nothing.
Actually, my firsts were Inuyasha and Rave Master. They were on Adult Swim before and after the show I wanted to see, and I saw a few minutes of them each time...and thought they were interesting. So that's how I got into anime ^^ I still love Rave Master and Inuyasha too XD

Well, first I got into the Sonic video games from my friend, and then I started watching Sonic X. I watched it for a while, but then I missed a few episodes and got all confused. The next year I began watching Avatar, and then Naruto not long after that when my friend was describing how awesome it was. When I started up with Naruto it was in the Forest of Death stage of the Chunin exams. So technically my first anime was Sonic X, but Naruto was the first anime I started watching that I knew was anime xD And it all went downhill from there

I don't remember ever posting in this thread before, but the vast majority of the people here are too young to remember, but there are a few here who will appreciate the significance of the show I count as my first anime.
Voltron. Oh, yes. It was brought to the States in the 70's or 80's, 80's I think, but it coulda been the 70's, I don't honestly know, because by the time I got to see it as a little kid, it was already reruns.
At any rate, the first anime I saw that I realized was anime was Sailor Moon, because I found out it was called 'anime' not terribly long after I started watching it.

First anime? Spirited Away. Such a good movie, especially the Japanese version... Scratch this. I have a story. Now listen (or read). Okay when i was four i got sick a lot. so usually in the middle of the night i watched boomerang on Cartoon Network. I vaguely remember watching Speed Racer (and yes, i do want to see the movie.). Skip a few years, and I'm an 8 year old freak. Sailor Moon comes on one day, and I sat there and watched it. I got hooked. So here comes July, and there's this new show called Hamtaro. Of course I watched this, and remained as a faithful viewer and bought the toys and books. Skip another two years, and I'm hooked on anime. I sat there and watched it for hours on end. so one day i stumble across this website, and i find a link to Nausicca.net. I find out about the works of Miyazaki, so i go to best buy in the spring and buy Spirited Away,which is still one of my favorite movies. So here I am now, typing about my very first animes. So what do I like now? Look at my signature, my fellow otakus.

How did you get into the wonderful world of anime? My first anime, was "My Neighbor Totoro" (i was 4) But I didnt really get into other anime (exception being pokemon) untill "Princess Mononoke" What were your firsts? Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors helped, but Dragonball Z really got me into anime. (Shhhh... you didn't hear that from me...)

My first anime was Naruto. When I first saw it I thought, "Avatar is so much better than this." So then I kept watching it to make comparisons about how much better Avatar was....and I got hooked. I haven't read any manga yet
