The first anime I ever watched was probably Digimon. Then Pokemon, and Dragon Ball Z. I also vaguely remember watching Card Captor Sakura. I really remember being obsessed with Pokemon, though. I used to tape all the episodes and collect a whole bunch of the toys. XD

My first manga was Marchen Awakens Romance. I think my second one was Fullmetal alchemist, but I'm not entirely sure on that.

Hmm, the first anime would be Sailor Moon and Pokemon, but I wasn't aware that they were anime x), so it would have to be Inuyasha. Sailor Moon was my first manga.

Julia Caesar 02-27-2008 02:18 AM

Sailor Moon or pokemon was my first Anime. I never realized it was an anime when I was little though.

When I actually knew what anime was I guess it was Inuyasha.

My first manga was probably... God Child. I don't read it anymore, but yeah I used to.

Shagami 02-27-2008 05:43 PM

Mt first anime was actually Vampire Hunter D and Sailormoon. Manga was i think Area 88 From the library. These keep a speical place in my heart <3
DBZ and Pokemon as well as I was into them before they become uber popular and in America sorta is the defention of anime to those who dont really know what anime is.

The first anime I watched would be...Digimon! I was *obsessed* with Kairi..she was so adorable. Especially since I was like what, 10 at the time? And the fact that her Digimon was just as cute as her didn't hurt :)

Soon after came Pokemon and Sailor Moon, which were their own obsession phases...but that's another story.

Chinen Yuuri 03-01-2008 11:21 PM

Probably the first anime that I have watched is Sailor Moon and Astro Boy.
I'm a big fan of Osamu Tezuka <3

AzureWolf 03-02-2008 01:12 AM

First manga would have to be Pokemon and Dragonball Z by mistake. I didn't even know what manga was back then. XD

As for anime I guess it would have to be Pokemon. And then Big O sealed the deal of me being hooked. XD

HotaruHoshi 03-02-2008 09:45 PM

first manga was Kingdom Hearts 2

First anime was Pokemon aaah sweet innocence lol

First game was Kingdome hearts thanks to the above

*giggles*
DragonBall and DragonBall Z forever ago. I would watch it on tv when I was like four years old then run around the house pretending to be a Sayan.
^_^

Kyuuki 03-03-2008 05:37 AM

I'm an oldbie, my first were Voltron and Unico... back when they were new. I'm an anime geezer XP

Quarter-Queen 03-05-2008 12:48 AM

My first anime was probably Pokemon or Sailor Moon, but I really didn't know much about anime or even what it was till Naruto came out .__.' My first manga was Fruits Basket.

Senpai 03-05-2008 01:15 AM

The first anime that I was introduced was Speed Racer and Macross. The first manga I was introduced to, was Flame of Recca.

Kadrias 03-05-2008 04:27 PM

^--- I remember Speed Racer!! XDDD

I don't know exactly what my first anime was, but one of my earliest was Evangelion. Wasn't the best thing to watch at my age. :lol: My oldest brother had all the anime at that time, so I just watched whatever he would let me. There was also Love Hina, Record of Lodoss War, and I can't remember what that other one was called. But it was not appropriate!! XDDD

As for manga, the first one I bought was probably Cardcapter Sakura. That was when they were like pocket sized and almost 15 bucks a pop. :shock: It was probably the first I read, too.

Re: First manga/anime you were introduced to?
 
The first anime was Sailor Moon. I still have a poster of Sailor Moon that's a decade old. >___<;; Kodocha was the first manga introduced to me by a friend.

Poisoned Love 03-06-2008 01:27 PM

Well it was either Sailor Moon or Yu-Gi-Oh here, but I didn't exactly know that they were anime or anything like that.

And first manga...I'm not really sure of that one

Sho-Shonojo 03-06-2008 10:15 PM

The first manga I ever picked up was Cowboy Bebop: Shooting Star. I remember standing at the line in Borders and they had a display case for manga. It was only one shelf front and back! I was looking through the titles and didn't really know any of it so I picked up Bebop because I'd watched the show. I didn't even know that Shooting Star was a completely different story. XD

Ah, good times.

Oh and my first anime, that I actually watched consistently, was Dragonball Z. My brother got me into it. X3

Mars180 03-06-2008 10:34 PM

i got my first manga book when i was 10 :] i think it was like Tsubasa :] it was really good and sometimes i still read it

Taliah 03-07-2008 07:01 AM

Strangely enough, my first Anime was Speed Racer, on Cartoon Network. I watched it a lot, actually. But the anime I first fell in absolute love and adoration was Sailor Moon R. I loved those little planet warriors so much. I even bought a little trinket that was Sailor Moon's locket that she used to transform, and have it to this day.

Ino Wind-Mage 03-07-2008 06:12 PM

I first saw Dragonball and Sailormoon. After watching them both I was instantly a fan of anime. I also owe some praise to Digimon because that was also one of the first shows I really got into watching it.

My first manga was Dragonball Z. I enjoyed the show so much I decided that I had to check out the manga.

Kyuuki 03-07-2008 07:20 PM

I really don't remember my first manga, I was, like 6 at the time and would sneak into my brother's room (he's 11 years older than me) when he was gone to read his comics (initially ElfQuest, since I liked the wolves in it), then I moved on to X-Men and other stuff. I know some of the other stuff was black and white, probably manga, but I don't remember too much about it.

the first manga I bought instead of reading stuff found in the library was Rayearth, back when I found out that some manga had plummeted in price from $20 or more for one volume to only $15 a volume.

PancakeKakashi 03-09-2008 02:12 AM

I was first introduced to Pokemon as I was getting ready for surgery (I had a tumor in my mouth that needed to be removed--it wasn't cancerous, but it was causing me a whole lot of pain). ^^ I still remember that first episode I saw--the 1st part of the S.S. Anne episode.

NuRii 03-09-2008 12:05 PM

I think I watch sailor moon when I was really young but I wasnt into anime then or anything until I moved and saw a bookshop..I was wondering around the bookshop and found a really small manga and anime section and there I saw fushigi Yugi I then thought the art was amazing in a way so I thought I want to buy it and then I got addicted to it and want the whole series and gradually I started wanting more mangas and then I got mroe and more xD
but yea the start of my manga and anime obsession is Fushigi Yugi
