I am proud to say that the first anime I remember being exposed to was Sailor Moon! Followed by Hamtaro, then Yu-Yu- Hakashu and DBZ. And then I learned at around the age of 12 that there was anime away from the cartoon network =P

I'm pretty sure that Tuxedo Mask was my first crush =P

Ah, my first ever manga, before I even know what manga was, was Dragon Knights. It was actually pretty good for the first 10 volumes before the story just felt like it was running in circles. Ceisa, or what ever her name was, was not a very good character, she was just too sporadic, both good and bad, weak and strong, i got to the 20th book until it was too much for me.

I think the first Anime I ever saw was Sailor Moon, but I was never really interest in it. I liked it, but I didn't fall in love with it. Then I started watching Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon, and they were absolutely fantastic! I was in love! :D

I was never really that into Kenshin. I was pretty young when Kenshin was popular so I was in the Inuyasha phase. *sudder* What an awful phase

No, is it like Inuyasha? I never read the manga but I did watch all million awful episodes.

My first anime was Astro Boy and Transformers. Then I started watching Sailor Moon when it first came out. Then Pokemon, which I was obsessed about. When Sailor Moon came back on, that was when I actually discovered that it was anime. My first off tv anime was a hentai called "Midnight Panther". Damn, did that disturb me. After that, I started renting them from Blockbuster and buying the magazine called 'Animerica'. My first manga was 'Sailor Moon'.........Now I have over 700 manga and over 100 DVDs. I plan to grow my collection more, but not right now. I haven't bought anything anime since 2007. I also am going to buy manga in japanese to help me practice reading and understanding the language.

Oh gosh! Animerica. I remember that magazine well. In fact, I still have some of them around. I'm going to have to go hunt for them now...

My first anime was probably Superbook. Back when I didn't know what anime was... XD; That and Sailor Moon a couple times. But I've never been that into sparkly pretty girl shows... I was more into He-Man than I was into She-Ra... XD

The first anime I watched when I became AWARE of the difference between American cartoons and Japanese animation was InuYasha. It started my obsession. ^^;

I know this sounds bad, but I actually threw all of mine and my Newtype magazines away. I have too much stuff and I inherited my mother and father's hoarding disorder. I don't look or read the magazines really anymore, even though I wish I didn't throw them away, I just felt better after that. It is my first step of getting rid of the disease. I should have just kept on to them and then sell them, but in this economy, the otaku just want to buy DVDs and Manga.

Oh, I did keep one 'Animerica'. It was the one my drawing got posted. I think that was back in 2002.

Woot! Belated congratulations! And really, it's perfectly acceptable to throw them out. I'm just always thinking I will need them (That's a hoarder symptom isn't it? Yikes.)

My first technically was Voltron, but I never actually knew it was anime. Besides that I believe my first was Galaxy Express 999 back when the Sci-Fi channel would show anime on Saturdays.

hmmm, it was either pokemon or sailor moon.....can't remember much :P

salior moon but the first real nanime i was introduced to was Trigun by my cousin

The first anime i saw was maybe Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z and the first manga i remember reading was Naruto. Not sure if Transformers or Trigun were up there or not, it was a long time ago i was introduced to em, my step dad and uncles watched a lot so i was force fed it at an early age, not that i mind XD

Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Pokemon I think I was introduced to all at the same time all because of Toonami. But if it's from Adult swim, Inuyasha would be the first one I saw.

I guess technically it was Speed Racer for me. Then I also used to watch Voltron when I was younger, too. But my first anime, from beginning to end, that I watched when I was thirteen, was The Irresponsible Captain Tyler. Effin' amazing show. It's so quirky, and very much corny Japanese 80's anime, but it's raunchy and hilarious as well. Though I didn't really start to get into anime at all until I played FFVII.

Oh man...shut up Azerai, or you'll start talking about the good ol' days and lose track.

lol Speed Racer was first for me too, followed by Yu Yu Hakusho and Tenchi Muyo.

Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyo were my first animes. I also enjoyed DBZ and Gundam Wing.

can't remember for sure but I think it was sailor moon but it might have been Pokemon that was a long, long time ago... i think i started to watch Tenchi Muyo at the same time as Sailor Moon... so who knows

Cool!!! Another Ronin Warriors fan. Who was your favorite character in Ronin Warriors? Mine was Anubis.
