On here feel free to tell everybody the very first anime you have ever watched and what got you hooked to anime.

[Laurens D]

probably naruto or bleach , i think naruto was the first serie i've watched. after that started to watch more

[αɖα- ɕɧαɲ]

Sailor moon I guess? haha. Remembering those times makes me laugh!
Oh, Dragon Ball too and Saber Marionette.

Those are my very first but at that time I'm still not into anime compared to my current situation. The very reason I got hooked with it was by the influence of my hard core otaku brother. He just let me watched his favorite animes and "orient " me with.

Time Quest.

[Sir Flash™]

I remember when I was 5 years old back in 1997. Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Street Fighter II, Vandread, and Pokemon were all my first anime. Childhood memories go a long way. Almost forgot Card Captor Sakura lol

[αɖα- ɕɧαɲ]

Card Captor Sakura lol

Oh yeah. I also forgot about this and Samurai X which was shown a hundred times at different channels in TV.

I can't remember "the" first, as I was still just a brat, but I can tell ya what started my obsession.

It was Spice & Wolf.

[bushwhacker2k]

Speed Racer, I remember watching it in 1995 when I was 5, because he drove the Mach 5.

Good times.

[S.C.]

Wait, I think it was Ranma 1/2. Coincidentally it was also the one that drove me away from Anime. Male Ranma in a bunny suit totally raped my childhood.

Speed Racer and Akazukin Chacha~!
I used to watch them in Cartoon Network. n__n

Then, there's also Fushigi Yuugi... Where I watched in both local and english-language television.
Of course, at that time, I didn't understand much of it. Especially Miaka and Tamahome making out. hahaha!

Those were the days.

Wait, Akazukin Chacha was on Cartoon Network!? I wasn't even aware it'd ever been translated to English...

At least in the Philippines, it was. D: I think it was 1998/1999. It was really popular too.
Maybe just CN Asia though?

EDIT: After a quick google... yup. Only in CN SEA. Haha.

Sailor moon I guess?

HEAR HEAR. IT'S NOT WHAT GOT ME HOOKED, BUT IT WAS THE FIRST ANIME I EVER SAW. THE FIRST ANIME I EVER COMPLETED, HOWEVER, WAS MUCH, MUCH FURTHER AHEAD IN TIME; I BELIEVE IT WAS HIGURASHI THAT TOOK THAT SPOT.

TO BE HONEST, MY FIRST ANIME ALMOST BECAME GRAVITATION. >_> I DIDN'T REALIZE WHEN I DOWNLOADED IT THAT IT WAS YAOI, AND YAOI ANIME JUST DIDN'T FLOW TOO WELL WITH ME. I DID WATCH IT EVENTUALLY THOUGH, BUT THAT WAS MUCH LATER...IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE FUNNY.

[Mori]

I almost forgot! Another one of my "first" animes is Yu Yu Hakusho. (Which was called "Ghost Fighter" locally)
And it's really nice that after 10+ years, I'm still watching it on TV without getting tired. XD

And yeah. I guess there's a difference with first anime, and first COMPLETED anime.
For completed anime, mine was Ultra Maniac on TV, when Animax was new in my country.
And Death Note, for my first completed anime watched not on TV.
