Your first anime series

[[.redacted]]

Claymore, about 6 months ago, I regret nothing.

I still believe it to be one of the greatest stories out there, up with A Game Of Thrones and such, and to have some of the very best characters I've ever seen.

 

[ToxicSpill]

The shows on adult swim were the first ones I saw. Dragonball Z, Tenchi, and Gundam Wing. The one that got me into anime was Vandread.

 

[NathLines]

.hack//SIGN if you don't count Pokémon. I was heartbroken when I understood that the OP was in engrish and not japanese.

I think I saw it around 5 years ago.

EDIT: Wait, before SIGN and even Pokémon... There was fucking Sailor Moon. Jebus, how long ago was it? At least over a decade ago.

 

[Simon Pettersson]

My first was Sailor moon, the one that got me into Anime was FLCL thou
Edit: Oh and Pokemon

 

[tthor]

Full Metal Alchemist ...I don't count Naruto or Bleach, because they suck

 

[Nexoram]

Firstly before I answer, I'm sorry. OK, now to the answer, Naruto. Yeah, I watched all these other animes like DBZ and Yugioh and Digimon etc on tv when I was younger (5-10 years old) but Naruto was the first series that I actively searched for and watched. And yes, I do know that it's shit and cliched now since I'm older. Also, fillers. God Damn fillers. Now I don't watch anymore anime.

Edit: If anyone has suggestions about anime that is good, message me and I'll see if I like it. I heard that Death Note was pretty cool.

 

[cystemic]

pokemon yugioh and digimon

 

[Lewieroo0]

Zoids. Specifically the one with the white Liger Zero that had about four or five different versions.

That would be Zoids Century New Zero

 

[Asuka Soryu]

Well, first was Dragon Ball... wich I wasn't into, being a little kid. Then came Sailor Moon. My friends liked it, I wasn't a big fan.

Then it hit me.


DRAGON BALL Z!!! Yeah. Anime fan since.

 

[Lewieroo0]

it would probably be one of the following:

Pokemon
Zoids New Century Zero

 

[PureChaos]

Pokemon, even though I had no clue what an anime was at the time

yep, same, it was just another cartoon to me.

my first subbed anime was One Pice, wasn't keen

 

[Oliman43]

As a kid I watched pokemon, digimon, transformers, zoids, the usual suspects.

But once I found out what anime actually was, my first was Fullmetal Alchemist.

 

[swankyfella]

I started watching Cowboy Bebop and Rurouni Kenshin at the same time. Still two of my favorites.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

I can't quite remember, Sailor Moon, maybe. Although I might have seen some Speed Racer reruns before that. I remember my friends talking about Dragon Ball Z when I was in grade school, but I never really watched it until a while afterwards. I didn't watch TV frequently as a kid. My parents usually kicked me out of the house.

 

[Operative1980]

Ghost in the shell SAC.
I didnt really see a series until i was in my early 20s. Always liked the Ghost in the shell film and one of my friends mentioned that there was a tv series too.
Very shortly after that a different friend got me into Naruto which, sadly, I still watch

 

[Evilsanta]

It was Sailor Moon though I didn't know that it was called anime at the thime. And it was in the 90's.

They don't show that much anime here in Sweden. Atleast not the good ones.

 

[CrystalShadow]

The first one where I clearly knew it was Anime was Neon Genesis Evangelion, round about 1998 or 99 or so.

The first Anime I actually saw? Probably "The Mysterious Cities of Gold"
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVNZ-cghz0 )

That was round about... 1987 I guess. XD

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

The first one I watched was probably Pokemon. The first I watched all the way through was Digimon. The first one I watched that I actually recognized as anime was Gundam Seed.

 

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

Pokemon and Digimon dubbed on TV before I knew what anime was. First when I knew of the genre and I actively chose was Neon Genesis Evangelion.
