Pokémon and Digimon, but they were translated and bowdlerized for a young North American audience anyway. I've watched every episode of Azumanga Daioh with subtitles, so I'd call that my first real anime.

First Anime was something along the lines of DBZ, Pokemon, or Digimon, etc.

But my first -Subbed- Anime was Lucky Star so I like to think of that as my First Anime.

Generally, the first would have been some Anime TV series that ran during my childhood in the early nineties. Things like Captain Future [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Future#Adaptations_and_other_derivative_works], Saber Rider [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saber_Rider] and the like. But couldn't remember much of them...

As for contemporary Anime series my first would have been the OVA of Record of Lodoss War back around 2002 or 3. Back then, I thought that series was incredibly cheesy and didn't like it that much. Fortunately I didn't give up and tried Berserk next - that got me hooked for good :)

Hmm probably the original Dragon Ball series or Sailor Moon. That was on YTV and they were just cartoons to me, didn't realize they were imported from Japan.

Started watching subbed anime pretty young as well, things like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion.

I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but Sailor Moon.

In my defense, I was an eight year old girl...

My first anime was Dragonball Z, the grandfather of all anime. It's still one of the best animes I have seen to this day. I own the entire remastered DVD collection, as well as quite a few of the movies, both on VHS and DVD.

Pokemon, of course.

I remember watching it when I was about 4 or 5.

After that I watch stuff like Digimon, Yugioh, and Dragon Ball Z. When I was a bit older, I watched Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, and anything else that was airing on Adult Swim, I even read my first manga (Ranma 1/2). After that I stopped watching anime for a few years, but started again with Death Note.

Pokemon, but I lost interest and then a combination of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist brought me back.

Pokemon was my acutal first, then i watched Digimon (didn't really catch on). Although the first anime i actually was old enough to pay attention to would probably be One Piece. Awesome anime.

What was the first anime series that you remember watching? And what year did you first watch it?
For me, it was either Ronin Warriors or Dragon Ball Z, way back in the mid 90's.
Technically? Robotech. I had no idea what it was at the time, and I only saw one episode, but it was neat. This was during the late 80s.

Followed not long thereafter (early-middle 90s) by Bubblegum Crisis (the original version). Great stuff, if you like hot women in combat armor fighting robots. Which I did. Very much.

Also introduced me to my first lesbian character in a TV show. Thank you BGC!

Either The Little Prince, Kimba the White Lion, or this other show about a kid and his big white dog. Of course back then I didn't know what anime was, they were just cartoons as far as I was concerned. I only recognize them as such now as I think back upon them.

Maya the Bee or that one with the two koalas when I was like, 8. I had no idea how cartoons worked back then, but was still confused by how choppy and cheap looking the animation was. Those also happened to be the last anime cartoons that I voluntarily watched, lol.
The Koala one was Noozles.

Actually, I remember seeing that one and Maya before Sailor Moon. Oops.
