Your first anime show/film

What was your first anime show or film?

For me? The first anime related thing I saw as a kid was Spirited Away on VHS, I was awestruck from the animation and quality of the film.

For shows it would’ve been the usual Pokemon and DBZ. As I grew older I suppose my first proper anime show was watching streams of Neon Genesis Evangelion due to people talking about it at school.

So what about you? What did you see first?

I think it was an episode of Cowboy Bebop that came on Toonami one night when I was staying at a friend’s house.

It was the first episode, Asteroid Blues.

I didn’t really watch anime until years later when a friend suggested I watch Yu Yu Hakusho so I did.

Heidi and Maya the Bee when I was about 4

Death Note, sometime in 2009 or 2010.

I remember when it came out, people on forums kept talking about it nonstop. I had no idea what it was, so I just blindly torrented something called Death Note… it was the live action Japanese adaptation lol. I didn’t even know it was an anime until years later. Just for years I thought everyone on the internet was obsessed with that live action movie.

Netflix dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Tom and Jerry probably

We call them cartoons though

Princess Mononoke. I randomly picked it up at Blockbuster and it was so different than anything else I’d ever watched. I instantly fell in love with it.

Show would have been Starblazers or Robotech (Americanized Space Battleship Yamato and Macross/Southern Cross/Mospaeda, respectively.) For movies probably Akira.

2000mph ,

Big fan of Star Blazers. I did eventually watch that years later, but my first anime exposure was via a VHS bought from a charity shop of a series called ThunderSub.

Very similar to Star Blazers, don’t know if they were related in any way.

Both are the same for me. Well except I know Robotech was the first show I saw.

Mermaid melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch! It played early in the morning every day in one of my country’s public networks

Has to be Pokemon for me, I used to like it for a year or two then got bored. Then I got hooked on Dragon Ball Z, which I still love.

I think I saw the Pokemon movie before Spirited Away though

My parents bought me My Neighbor Totoro when I was a kid. I absolutely loved every second of it. Then I came across Ranma 1/2. Next came Kiki’s Delivery Service. It kind of snowballed after that.

TV: Battle of the Planets, way back in the late 70’s

Film I’m really unsure. Would’ve been late 80’s or early 90’s. Could’ve been any of: Warriors of the Wind (localized title of Nausicaä), Castle of Cagliostro, Akira, Project A-Ko, or Vampire Hunter D

Bluu ,

Sailor Moon. It was on early in the morning and I’d get ready for school really fast so I could sit and watch it before running to catch the bus.

AlligatorBlizzard ,

Kiki’s Delivery Service. I got it on VHS, probably for Christmas the year the Disney dub came out. I didn’t have cable for a decent chunk of my childhood, so I saw that even before Pokemon.

YuYu Hakusho.
