Probably pokemon, but I think Sailor Moon was a close second

... Thinking about it the first was Pokemon, then whatever else was on TV.

But for being introduced to the Japanese versions... I think I first watched Loveless, then hunted down the original Japanese episodes of YuGiOh

Sailor Moon, I believe. T_T; But the first fandom I realized as anime was Beyblade. It all started from there- the entire obsession with anime and manga. ^^ From Beyblade it was Inuyasha, and after Inuyasha it was (and pretty well still is) Naruto. My anime list totals at 330 right now, and that's with it still missing a few series that I forgot to write down. My manga list was given up on a looong time ago. XP

Okay well I have two cause I was actually introducted to anime when i was little but didn't really watch or read an anime/manga for years after so here, when i was about 5 my dad bought me a anime movie called Kiki's Delivery Service but I didn't for the life of me know that was considered an anime so I usually count the first anime I say later on Anime- Fruit Basket and Manga- Death Note.

I'm not sure, but I THINK Sailormoon was the first anime I've ever seen. Then not too long after, I started watching digmon.

When I was still very young, I remember not being able to fall asleep and then flipping the tv on. Just so happened we had cartoon network (RIP toonami! T_T) and I saw my first "real" (mature/aimed at an older demographic) anime... Outlaw Star. I loved it as a kid and it's still a great anime. It's also the ony anime I can recall where a neko/cat person could eat your face off! <3 Aisha Clan Clan. lol.

Edit: Oh! If we're counting Miyazaki films as anime, then Sailormoon wasn't even my first experience with anime! It was Totoro! I watched that flick so much as a kid that I nearly wore out the tape! How could I forget about the dustbunnies? Shame on me!

Sailor Moon but pokemon was the close second. I regret watching Sailor Moon but the earliest series of Pokemon was actually interesting and funny. Now they turned it into cheesy third-rate grade school show.

my first anime was sailor moon back when it was on cartoon network back in the 90's yes i know when i say that it makes me sound like an old fart when im only 22 but i love that show to death it was awesome and now i have the first two seasons on dvd undubbed in subtitles and when i remember it it was not that perverted because when i first watched it i watched it in english dubbed but apparently i found out that the show was geared toward perverted old men

My first anime was Sailor Moon, dubbed. This was way back when I was a kid and didn't even know what anime was. Later, when I met friends who watch anime, I watched Fruits Basket and that was how I got hooked. :)

Oh, but when I was even younger I was in love with My Neighbor Totoro.

I first saw Sailor Moon when I was seven, then Inuyasha, then a flood of manga and anime and I was hooked!

First Anime:
Sailor Moon

First Manga:
Imadoki

My first anime:
1. Sailor Moon
2. Pokemon
3. Yu-Gi-Oh!
(I didn't watch Dragonball like most of my friends becouse I simply didn't like it)

First manga = Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne

Well, my first anime I'm pretty sure was Sailor Moon- not that I knew it was even Anime back then! DX

Manga... thats a hard one. I started reading them when my high school got the books, so I read a /lot/ of manga within the same time frame. I wouldn't be surprised if it was FAKE though XD

And yes, my high school had all the books for that series. High school = introduction to yaoi ^^;

I was first introduced with Sailor Moon but I didn't enjoy it that much. Later I found out about Tenchi Muyo and my love for anything Japanese really grew from there lol.

If you want to be technical about it, then my first was pokemon. However, I didn't really know what it was, much less consider it anime. However, when I got older, I watched the Toonami animes like Tenchi, Outlaw Star and Gundam Wing. I watched DBZ for a while, but after the Cell Saga, I got bored and dropped out of it. I briefly watched Sailor Moon, but lost interest in it and just stuck with Tenchi and the rest. And then after that, I found Cowboy Bebop and fell in love with it, then Inuyasha and so on and so forth. My taste for anime has really evolved over the years.

Sailor Moon and Inuyasha!!1 I remember them so clearly! <3 Probably because I saw Inuyasha like...three times....?

• Inuyasha. <3
  And it's love at first watch. =w=
  
  I think I'm about 6 yrs old when I first watched it.

I guess sonic the hedgehog for anime(did u guys know he was voiced by Jaleel White...Urkel from Family Matters)
The 1st manga I ever picked up was Hellsing vol 2 or Fruits Basket vol 4, can't remember which one

Yeah me too! The first time I ever watched it I was totally stunned by it. xD I was like "...........wow." I loved it!

@Kelken: Last 10 episodes? OMG. Why don't you watch it? Like right now? ROFL.
And I think Inuyasha series made another season.
It's the continuation of the series that didn't really have an ending. =w=
