I don't count pokemon, digimon, or yugioh, since I didn't know they were anime, I just thought of them as cartoons. First anime I really watched was Bleach, cause one of my friends wouldn't shut up about it. I liked it alright, but it opened the door into the anime world for me, so at least it was good for something. Watched FMA right after that, and had the usual reaction: THIS IS AWESO... *sees ending* wait, WTF?
