the first one I can remember is card captors sakura. I was about 8 when I received the first four for my birthday. I sure there were other mangas before that but I don't remember them. My first anime was either DBZ or sailor moon. I LOVED DbZ and I liked sailor moon. I remember the day my mom freaked out and said I could not watch them ever again after I had finished the whole first season at my bio-dad's house. I still think Card Captors is better than DBZ and Sailor moon, I still own the third book!
