What was your first mature Anime?

[Romaru]

Uh... I really don't remember.

My anime watching life started with whatever was available in HMV at the time, which was incredibly limited about 8 years ago.

Think I started with either X or Ninja Scroll and then progressed onwards. Saw Golgo 13: The Professional at some point which I can watch repeatedly without any trace of boredom even now. Also saw Akira and Ghost In The Shell. Was really impressed with GITS but not so much with Akira but a couple of years ago was told the books add stuff that the anime misses, and they make a little bit more sense apparently.

One thing I will draw attention to is Urotsukidoji, or Legend of the Overfiend. I don't know about anywhere else but the English DVD release had a giant demon towering over a city so I just thought it was going to be either a horror or action anime.

Was pretty surprised when the penis monsters started appearing and the main character was seeing more flesh than me at my youthful 18 years old. (Don't laugh...)

My first anime that was uncensored was Bleach, still watching it today subbed of course, can't stand dubbed.

 

[Fish and Chips]

Chobits. I was about eleven, I think.
Though I remember seeing Tenchi Muyo and good ole' DBZ on Cartoon Network before then, but they were censored.

 

[Sieni]

I haven't fully watched a mature anime movie. I just don't like anime.

 

[Ascarona]

Shaman King , I freaking lol'd whenever the main character got harassed by his girlfriend/soon to be wife/very own devil.

 

[Lucifron]

Evangelion, though not the whole series, probably at age twelve. I thought it was awesome then, and I believe it to be awesome still.

Edit:

Akira.

And sweet mother of fuck did I regret that decision. I'd never been so messed. Now I avoid it all.

Haha, how old were you?

 

[Outamyhead]

Oh I forgot, I saw Oedo 808, I think that was the very first one I had seen Ninja Scrolls was also a good one.

 

[tishy19]

FLCL. Though I quickly followed that up with Hellsing, Perfect Blue and Paprika.

 

[nolongerhere]

Tenchi Muyo.

I have fond memories of that show on Toonanmi, as well as a lifelong crush on Ryoko <3

Oh yeah, Tenchi Muyo. I saw it in a shop recently, and picked up the box set. And you know what? Still awesome. It was probably my first mature anime; it or Outlaw Star.

Ninja scroll

 

[Cameron Baxter]

depends what you call mature the first anime i watched with blood involved was princess mononoke but thats a pg movie if you mean something R-rated it probably would have been Berserk

 

[Darchrow]

I don't watch Mature Anime, I normally leave mature stuff for the manga, it comes out a lot better in Manga in my opinion (In that case for mature manga was definitely Gantz). Mature anime probably had to be Texnholyze and yes it is a fairly obscured one and the only parts that can be considered mature are its complex story plus blood and violence.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

It was either Biohunter or Akira.

 

[Master10K]

Mine was probably Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

 

[mezmerizer02]

Akira, way back in the day.

Yeah, I gotta go with this. My first Anima, when I was 7.

 

[enzilewulf]

Hell sing. I only got to watch a few though. The first one I ever really saw the all the episodes was gundam seed and gundam seed destiny uncensored....really make me think about the current war in Iraq....

 

[SuperUberBob]

Ninja Scroll (movie)

Probably 15 at the time
