Which was your first Anime/Manga

[Ang3lKilar]

I started watching Sailor Moon when i was like 5. Loved it back then. Moved on to Card Captor then DB and DBZ. Back when Toonami first came out i watched everything they had and whatever Adult Swim was playing at the time. I remember first falling in love with NGE thanks to Adult Swim. Best discovery of my life! FMA, Bleach, Love Hina, i discovered them all around the same time. But it all started with watching Sailor Moon every morning before school.

Well other than Pokemon, Gintama got me into anime.

[Izuru]

Hmmm Gintama And One Piece Hahhaha

[GKats12394]

I honestly can't remember which of these two I watched first, so it's between Amagami SS and Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora. 

 

I had originally thought that I wouldn't ever be interested in watching anime in the first place. I thought it was kind of annoying that the dubs sound so awkwardly "fake", yet reading English subtitles while hearing Japanese would be irritating as well.

 

However upon watching (Whichever it was), I quickly came to realize that English Subtitles weren't even that bad. So I continued to watch. And eventually I fell in love with romance anime.

Not counting anything I saw as a kid, my first anime that I watched when I was aware what it was was One Piece. Even then though, I was just trying to watch something I remembered from CN as a kid.

I totally forgot to count Cowboy Bebop, Zachbell, Yu-Gi-Oh, and the like. Though some might call Yu-Gi-Oh "cartoons", it still had that anime-feel to it. Ahhh the good old days of Adult Swim at 2am.

The first anime I ever watched was Hamtaro, when I was 6. Although, I had no idea what anime was at the time- I had refused to watch Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, even though they were popular, for... some reason, I don't know. (I got really into both eventually, though).

 

I only knowingly got into manga and anime when I went to the bookstore and wandered into the manga section. I remember really liking the cover to the first volume of Genshiken, for some reason. But the first manga I ever bought and read was a collection of Di Gi Charat short stories. Kind of an odd starting place, looking back on it (There are a LOT of references to otaku culture that even the translation notes couldn't help me with at the time) but I thought it was cute, so I was hooked.

My first anime would be Pokemon if I recall correctly. It was basically one of the first popular dubbed japanese series airing in my country, so everybody had to watch it as a kid to be able to fit into the majority group.

 

Considering my first manga, I didn't really read any much. My first manga encounter would be Naruto, around 2 chapters only though, didn't really feel the need to read since then.

[Blackex]

Well my first anime would be digimon .  When i was a kid always when i came back from school it was always one and after digimon they would air pokemon, one piece, naruto, shaman king.

The first one later when i started waitching anime on the web would be death note and kore wa zombie desu ka.

[Famichip]

Amongst the first animes for me were DragonBall Z, Doraemon, Digimon, Pokemon and Akazukin Chacha. Good times.

[kati]

My first ever anime was OVA Hellsing, I still love it the most. :3

[Darkshine]

I think the first animes I watched were Pokemon, Digimon, and Yugioh, um outside of those I think the first I watched was Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha and you know I discovered that anime by accident.

[Kazu]

Pokemon, definitely. 

First manga was DBZ. Still love both. 

[Guest hairybumslapper]

Hellsing Ultimate

[Mr Poltroon]

Doraemon, which was airing on television at the time.

Digimon and Pokemon were too if I correctly recall...

 

The first anime I actively tried to watch was Keroro Gunsou.

[Freestyle80]

In TV,first ones were DBZ and Ruroni Kenshin i guess

 

but anyway i prefer to say my first one was hayate no gotoku,it was with that series that i started dling/watching anime on a seasonal basis

[Borei]

I started out with Dragonball Z and Rurouni Kenshin, but was before I even knew what anime specifically was.  Once Naruto started airing on Toonami, I watched it knowing what it was and where it came from and everything, so you might call it my first.  The anime I first watched that didn't air on American television was probably Toradora, but I can't make that call for sure.

 

First manga was Naruto, a long time ago.  I started reading it in the middle of filler episodes since it was ahead of the bullshit.  Liked it a lot better than the anime, too.  First manga I completed (and marathoned through) was BECK by Harold Sakuishi.  Still my favorite manga to date.

[satoshikyouma]

when I was 6,my first anime is pokemon~!!!!!! XD

pikachu is kawaii~!!!

[Life]

my first was digimon All the nostalgia.

[Chocolat]

My first anime was Pokemon (I still love it!) and my first manga was School Rumble.

The first non-diffused on tv anime I watch was Pretty Cure 5!

 

 

It gave me a taste for magical girls

[InvertMouse]

Mine was probably Candy Candy. Yeah, yeah. Old (TUT)~

[Diamon]

My first manga was Yugioh  I think. My first anime is probably pokemon, unless it was captain tsubasa? I'm not sure, I was young at that time^^

[Old Wizard Eyes]

As a kid I was really into Pokemon, but I didn't really know what anime was at the time. Around 4th or 5th grade I started getting into Naruto as everyone else did, but I still didn't know about anime (I guess I was a dumb kid, lol.) When I got into 6th grade, however, I saw the FullMetal Alchemist manga on the shelf at my local library. I thought it was interesting, so I picked it up and gave it a read. Later I found out it was an anime as well, so I guess that was when I started watching anime. I never did finish the original FMA anime though (Could never find episodes online, and wasn't allowed to stay up too late at the time.) For that matter, I don't think I finished any anime I watched in middle school. I was into the typical "boys" anime that you can find featured in magazines like CoroCoro. I did keep up with those up until I entered high school. Despite not watching a lot of anime, I read a lot of manga.

 

Once I started my freshman year in high school I accidentally discovered The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I thought it sounded cool, so I gave it a spin. After watching the first few episodes I was instantly in love with the series, but realized that if my conservative but not conservative(?) mother saw me watching a show like that, I would be murdered (This kept me from watching many series at the time). So I watched the show in secret (heh.) I guess this was the first real,not for children, anime that I watched and finished. I watched shows steadily after that, although I think my anime viewing really picked up last summer when I started getting into subs and keeping up with shows as they air.

 

I'm 17 now, and finishing up my senior year. At this point I can pretty much watch whatever I want without my mom saying anything, so long as it isn't porn. Still afraid to watch ecchi in the living room though. Tested this last summer by watching Attack on Titan in the living room. Such violence. I think my mom found the show to be disturbing, but she didn't say anything.

[Sora]

I watched Zero no Tsukaima and that was what got me into anime hahaaha  

 

I think i've re-watched it 3-4 times LOL XD

[Drakenero]

Shakugan no Shana!That was my first Anime back in 2009.I remember it....I liked it until Season 3,then I felt that I was forcing myself to watch it.

But overall I liked it.
