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 first saw Saint Seiya in Mexico in the early 90s. Being a young kid I didn’t know it was anime at the time but remembered it being special compared to cartoons of the day.

Probably “Alfred J Kwak”. A Dutch cartoon produced in Japan. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLITzooyl5h5GKwvnwe3zSV…

Or “The Wonderful Adventures of Nils“ en.wikipedia.org/…/The_Wonderful_Adventures_of_Ni…

Back in the 70’s and 80’s it was common to outsource the production of animation to Japan. So many European cartoons were basically anime. It had the typical Japanese animation style of that time. For example the same company that produced “Alfred J Kwak” made the 1990 version of the Moomin TV-series.

Wagamama Fairy Mirmo De Pon!, an obscure anime that is basically The Fairly Oddparents if it was a shoujo. When I was in elementary school, it was on regional TV right after classes ended, and I loved it. It was the first ever media I could get my hands on that had an intriguing plot that I wanted to follow. I missed the series finale, tho :(

Some time ago I went back and rewatched it, complete with the finale and all. It was nostalgic but also kinda hard to rewatch because it’s so clearly made exclusively for children. It was so obscure that the only full download I could come across online even had the logo of the regional TV channel where I originally watched it as a child.

It’s kind of fuzzy, but I think my first anime was Excel Saga. It was as bizzarre as it was hilarious.

Silver Fang, and from that you can identify my age and country.

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.

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
