when I was little i used to watch sailor moon occasionally ,but I would watch DBZ all the time. I also watched pokemon and digimon and yugioh when they were coming out on 4 kids and stuff. the first subbed anime i watched was FLCL though.

The first anime I ever watched was Marmalade Boy. And ironically, the first manga I read was Ultra Maniac *by the same author*. But my current obsession is Clannad and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.

Sailor Moon would have to be the first anime I started watching even though I didn't quite get what it was. Shortly after that was Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and Digimon. The first manga I really got into would have to be either Naruto or InuYasha. Now I'm into a wide variety and am usually looking for more to catch my interest.

uhhh...my first should be sailor moon.
i was very little so it really got me interested.

"My first manga was Magic Knights Rayearth."
"The anime...Vampire Princess Miyu."

It was ether Pokemon or Sailor moon. I'm pretty sure it was sailor moon because it was tame and it didn't have and bad words in it(unless you watched it with subs, then there would be some bad words).

fairywaif 10-06-2010 08:59 PM

I can't remember if it was pokemon or Yugioh. I was totally obsessed with Yugioh though. And then I read the manga a couple of years later and thought that was so much better. :XD

I love Inuyasha and Sailor Moon. Also I absolutely love Rurouni Kenshin and encourage anyone who likes samurai to watch it!

Banshee 10-11-2010 12:53 AM

Zoids, Digimon, Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop...

No wonder I turned out so weird.

My first anime I think was Tokyo Mew Mew but I wasn't aware of the "manga and anime" world at the time.
While the first manga showed to me was Kamichama Karin :)
I think... :P

Pokemon! But for me, that doesn't really count. It is as Americanized as you can possibly get. I did have a friend though that ended up lending me the complete series of Ceres: Celestial Legend. That was what brought me into this whole world years ago... I think I was 15? Possibly 14? Well anyway... it's kind of funny to think back on because the art style seems so old fashioned.

The first anime I remember watching was Castle in the Sky when my babysitter put it on. I was totally amazed. Then when I started to get insomnia I would sit up and watch Neon Genesis Evangelion and Bubblegum Crisis.

First manga that I read through was Death Note. A lot later on. There were no stores selling manga near me until I moved to a bigger city.

Angeline134 10-23-2010 09:56 PM

The first anime I watched was Sailor moon or gundam wing I'm not sure, but what I do remember is that I watched it on Toonami when it still existed

Popcorn Gun 10-30-2010 08:09 PM

Like most people I was probably watching Pokemon and Sailor Moon first, I don't even remember which one actually came first, lol.

But...I do remember watching an Episode of Tenchi Muyo & Lupin the Third as a little kid too, lol.

I completely rejected Digimon as a lame, wannabe Pokemon, and I also rejected Yugioh for quite a while.

I remember getting into Magical DoReMi and the very short lived Fighting Foodons, lol.

The US version of Sailor moon was one of mine. I'd watched all the way through before I found out there was a Japanese version. I was around ten when watching the US version and maybe just after turning twelve while computer browsing when I found the Japanese one.

Anyway, I also remember watching a few episodes of Sonic The Hedgehog, Astroboy, Samurai Pizza Cats and DragonBall when I was way younger. I'd say between five and seven...

After the Sailor Moon phase, I was introduced to CardCaptors (The US Version). I was around fourteen. A year later, I found the Japanese version.

Gundam Wing, Pokemon and Digimon were in there somewhere, too. Never got into Yu-gi-oh and DBZ was a bit annoying.

CADFND 11-01-2010 01:37 AM

The first manga I was introduced to are North American manga, so I don't know if that counts, and I wasn't even ALLOWED to watch pokemon until I was, what, 10? 11?

TheOneOfName 11-02-2010 10:22 AM

Voltron was my first, back when I was six.

Fable 11-02-2010 04:09 PM

I think the first anime I saw was...Pokemon or Dragon Ball Z. xDD I'm not surewhich was first..I just remember changing the channel really quick when my brother came in when I was watching DBZ because he thought it was stupid. xDD;

ElvinGoddess 11-04-2010 06:17 PM

Technically, I was introduced to anime through Poke'mon, but I honestly don't think that Poke'mon counts because I didn't really know that it was an anime/manga until AFTER InuYasha...Because I never heard the terms "anime" or "manga" until I started watching InuYasha. My best friend had a Poke'mon game for her GBC, so I had always thought that it was just a video game that they decided to make a Trading Card Game for and that the books and anime came later. XP Around that same time, I remember watching a couple of episodes of Sailor Moon and DBZ, but I never really cared for either, so never really watched them. I blame the lack of television in my house during those years that all those early anime were introduced.
InuYasha is what really hooked me on anime. I'm pretty sure that Ranma 1/2 was my first manga, though.

pinkii 11-05-2010 04:12 AM

My first anime was totally Sailor Moon <3 it's still one of my favorite animes just cause!
I really don't remember what my first manga was though. It may have been Tokyo mew mew though - it's the earliest one I could remember.

Lexus 11-05-2010 10:23 AM

the first anime would be....dragon ball...

Larxene 11-14-2010 05:06 AM

I think my first manga ever was a volume of Case Closed / Detective Conan.

My very first anime was Pokemon, though I wasn't aware that Pokemon was an anime at first when I was a kid. So I always thought that Dragonball Z was my first anime since I began to learn what anime was after I began watching Dragonball Z.

Leerah 11-14-2010 05:45 AM

Hmmm, it was probably Sailor Moon, or Dragonball Z or something...
Hmm, maybe Pokemon or Card Captor Sakura~ xD

I had no idea any of those were actual animes though. I can't remember the first time i was introduced to an anime where I knew it was an anime~ xD

Q U E E N 11-14-2010 07:43 PM

Loool so funny but it was Naruto XD

Maki 11-15-2010 09:52 AM

My brother introduced Naruto to me and I've been hooked since then. :>
