Ben Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I probably saw Pokemon first, then Digimon soon after. I remember muttering to myself that it was just a rip-off of Pokemon but was pleasantly surprised. I ended up giving up on the Pokemon craze and becoming a full-fledged digi-fanatic-thingy-person.

Mina Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 [COLOR=coral][SIZE=1]Let's see..the first anime I saw was Sailormoon. I had come to America at that time and just got hooked on it. After a while, I got very bored of it and watched some Pokemon and Ronin Warriors. Soon, it was more Pokemon than anything. Then, I was hooked on Digimon and now Yu-Gi-Oh. As for the manga, I'm just starting to huntout the novels. I've taken a liking for Chobits.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crimson Spider Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by OtakuSennen [/i] Then came Pok[B]é[/B]mon. *shudders* I look back at all my Pok[B]é[/B]mon merchandise and want to light it all with a flamethrower and throw some rubbing alcohol on top of it...

That, or speed racer. One of those. I didn't even know what anime was, but now I know it is just a style of drawing, and not nessicarily japanese. I didn't find out what it was until I saw pokémon.

Shinmaru Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Syk3 [/i] [B]Wait -- you mean that show on Cartoon Network with cats who piloted those jets? That was an anime? o_O; [/B][/QUOTE] As far as I know, that wasn't Thundercats. I can't remember what the name of the show was, but I think I know what you're thinking of. My first anime was Sailor Moon. I'd watch it in the morning before going to school. After watching that, I'd watch Sonic the Hedgehog. Ah, memories...

Bishie Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 [COLOR=Crimson]The first anime i remember seeing was the dubbed version of "sailor moon" Although im pretty sure i've watched anime in my childhood years and not actually realised it was anime O_O *twitches*[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tical Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 my first anime was Pokemon. I saw it before most people. I first saw it on my anime loving cousins dvd of the first episodes. he said "this will be the next big thing" and...well...we all know what happened there (he must be frickin psychic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalPunk Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 The first anime that I ever saw was Saint Seiya. It,s been nine years and still like to sing the opening song. (My favorite part) Caballeros del Zodiaco Contra las fuersas demoniacas. Guardan siempre en su corason coraje para vencer. To bad that when they start showing it on Cartoon Network, it's going to be edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJchan Mayran Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Gee, that's pretty hard... I remember watching Toonami when I was, like, seven, so I actually started watching several at once. The earliest ones I can remember were Robotech and Voltron. Sailor Moon too, but she came in a little later. ^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]How many people actually started watching anime before it was aired on Toonami or Cartoon Network or any other network station such as WB or Fox? *Raises her hand*[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinsbabe Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 my first anime that i ever saw was Speed Racer. My dad watched it all the time when i was little. In fact, for father's day, my grandma and i got him a limited edition speed racer dvd collection with the first eleven episodes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animeforever105 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 hmmm...I think it was DBZ. That show bugs me now it's so annoying.Hmmm...Speed Racer was one I watched for my firsts as well. Those are the ones that come to mind. But if you're talking about first and hooked it's DBZ. *sighs* I'm glad I'm over it now I know,there are much muCh MUCH better things to watch like Adult Swim! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nerv-connection Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 i guess the first anime i watched (unknowning) was samurai pizza cats, but this was not the one to get me hooked. couple (5) years ago i was with a friend and he had to go to the dentist (or something) so he put on a dvd so i had something to do. THEN IT STARTED : evangelion =D i didn't stand a chance against this addiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that you're thinking of was called "Swat Cats" and it was about these two cat-mechanics that secretly had a plane stashed under their junkyard and zoomed out to save the city and whatnot. Their codenames were... urm... T-Bone and Razor... I forget their "actual" names though... O_o Gah! I sense obsession resufacing!! But, as for the thread topic ^_^;; The first anime I *remember* watching was Pokemon - I don't doubt that I'd seen the classics waaaay before that, but I don't remember them (unless Teeange Mutant Hero Turtles counts... gah I was obsessed O_o). But my kick into anime was Gundam Wing... ^______^;; Even if it isn't the best drawn show in the world, I'll stay with Gundam Wing 'til the day I die![/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsycoGoth Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 The first anime I ever saw was probably Speed Racer back in 1996 on CN, or DBZ around the same time. The anime that got me into DVD collecting was Cowboy bebop, but that's a whole other story ^_^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanariya Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 The first anime I saw was Pokemon. I luved it, and sometimes I still watch it but hardly cause I watch other anime! The second was DBZ. I still watch it, and I still luv it. Tenchi Muyo was next, I always watched it, but I hardly remember anyone. I thought it was funny, two girls fighting over the same guy (pitiful, and i think that's what happened, I don't remember!) I always used to watch it, but I don't know what happened to it. I guess it came off air. Then I saw Yu-Gi-Oh Kenshin, Yuyuhakusho, and more. But my favorite would have to be Inuyasha, which I'll NEVER give up watching. I am so weird. HEHE!!!

eleanor Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 [size=1] My Neighbor Totoro! I LOVE that movie! Totoro is so cute and furry....^_^ and then I watched some Pokemon and DBZ and that got me started. But it's funny...when I look back, I hate the animes I watched at first.

Ellimist_CSL Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 My first anime was Gundam Wing. It was great but then Toonami canned it. Then i got into DBZ and Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, and all of those great animes. Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonofDestiny Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 My first anime was probably the movie My Neighbor Totoro shortly followed by Sailor Moon. Totoro turned me on to Myazaki, who is one of the gods of anime and Sailor Moon got my into the other style of anime-i.e. big eyes, funky hair, super powers, ect. Then came Pokemon. I still love them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
