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?

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.

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.

Pokemon or Sailor Moon. Movie, probably the first Pokemon one.

Akira, as was common at the time. Not counting stuff like Robotech or Speed Racer that I wouldn’t have known was anime.

Akira. I saw it playing on a TV behind a table at a pop culture market and got my own copy (on VHS. Yes, I’m so old that bits are starting to drop off) to find out how it ended.

Edit: Now I come to think about it, I used to watch Science Ninja Team Gatchaman on TV as a preteen. Can’t remember the english title.

It was either Cowboy Bebop or Princess Mononoke - I was first introduced in an after-school anime club.
