First Anime/Manga?

[.:Requiem:.]

The first animeI ever watched was probably Sailor Moon.

Hm..

The first anime, which totally got me started, was Hikaru No Go.

It was the only one my library had. XD

[shortin]

The first anime is definitly Sailor Moon. Because, I remember my friend got me to watch it with her and I end up liking it alot, plus it was a diffrent animation but I didn't know that type of animation was called anime. Until, I watched DBZ.

As a child of the 80s, I used to wake up at 5:30am to watch Voltron every morning (and some other show that was set in space...oddly enough, I think it was an anime as well). But, I didn't know what anime was when I was 5. I first heard of anime when I discovered Speed Racer reruns on Cartoon Network back in '97. But while I found it to be amusing, it wasn't my true beginning. In July of '97, I happened across Sailor Moon showing on the USA Network. Our foreign exchange student flipped out (she used to watch the show in France) and thus my obsession with anime began. By winter of '98 I had already graduated from dubbed SM to fansubbed, and by the following summer I had greatly expanded my anime interests.

It's nearly 8 years later, and I'm still going strong. ^_^v My anime obsession has definitely surpassed my Star Wars fanaticism in recent years.

Edit: Oops, forgot about manga! ^_^ I'm not as into it as many others, mainly due to not knowing where to get it (in Japanese that is...and the English is so pricy). Although I do have most of the Sailor Moon manga in French, picked them up when I was in Paris in '98.

Thats really creepy. That nearly mirrors my own anime history. Only major differences are no French stuff and I started watching Sailormoon in September '97 (on video, not TV). My first mangas were Sailormoon,
Rayearth and Sorcerer Hunters, all of which were published in Mixxzine.
Oh the memories!

I remember watching Voltron, Speedracer, Robotech, Thundercats and SilverHawks (do those last two even count?) on TV when I was tiny.

My first anime, I think was called Battle of the Planets way back

My first Manga was Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I first saw a copy of Slayers Perfect at my friends house. After that we watched Akira, Princess Mononoke, and another one I can't remember the name of.

[Whisp]

The first anime I ever watched was inuyasha. I think...

[lightning dasher]

The first anime I have watched was InuYasha... But I think the coolest charater is Sesshomaru.

My first Anime was the original Megaman series(my second one was the zelda anime, we used to get a japanese channel and my sister and I would watch it, learned a good amount of japanese but forgot it when they took it off the air), can't remember what my first manga was.
