    Default What was your first..anime?

    Everyone remembers the first anime they watched. It opened their eyes to the wonders of anime. My first one was Voltron,I remember watching it before school. I thought it was cool, especially since they had a girl on their team. Yeah, she's a princess, but she was cool. The narrator is the guy who does Optimus Prime's voice. I liked that it didn't talk down to kids and presented a good story. What was your first anime?

    My first anime, although it should've not been on my list at the time was Ranma 1/2


    "I am... Sheik. One of the last of the Sheikah tribe..."

    I know I saw a lot of them on Nickelodeon when I was very young, and I didn't realize they were from Japan. Frankly, some of them like Mysterious Cities of Gold (which was a joint project with France) seemed too serious to be on a kid's television channel in the 1980's.

    But the first anime I saw when I was a teenager was Battle Angel..which totally spoiled me since Kishiro's work is at the pinnacle imo.

    I had never seen anime before, I was 13 years old and was with a few friends in someones house and someone decided to put on End of Evangelion, you know, a good starter anime to watch.

    I remember going home and being completely mindfucked after watching that anime, nothing else was as strong of a mindfuck.

    The first serious anime I watched that wasn't some kids TV show (Transformers/Voltron/Mysterious Cities of Gold. Was either Akira or Venus Wars. I can't remember for the life of me which one I watched first. But I remember watching them on the SciFi channel's week of anime that they use to have on back in the day. I can't remember how old I was, but I think it was before junior high.

    Voltron came out in 1983-4, Tranformers was about 1985, Mysterious cities of gold was I think one of the first cartoons on Nickelodeon, about 1983-4. I could be wrong.

    The first I ever watched, accidentally, was Dragon Ball, and it was when I was 7 years old. It played randomly on Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. on Fox. How did this get popular with such a ridiculous time slot? It's not bad, and it's a far different tonal shift compared to D.B.Z.

    eck, Poke'Mon..... the games are great, TCG pretty good, and the show needs a major overhaul before they release another one...
