First anime, huh? Kay. I started out with Cutie Honey *BIG cascade sweat* when I was...what, four? Then 'round five I got my hands on the movies Akira and Barefoot Gen. Needless to say, my childhood was quite traumatizing. But hey!

Erm...I didn't know at the time that any of those were anime. The first time I was aware that something was anime was...get this...Pocket Monsters. *twitch twitch* How embarassing. But then there was Digital Monsters and Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon; moving on, Dragonball Z. Um...I later got bored of the ones that were considered 'common' among my associates, so hunted for obscure manga+anime like Bleeding Phantom, Strawberry Goddess, etc....

Huh. Weird, I seemed to start out with the adult anime and THEN progressed to the children's stuff. How disturbing...but either way, my current favorite would probably be Yuu Yuu Hakusho. How 'bout the rest of you?

Lessee first was Lupin. Of course it wasen't dubbed and it was called Rupin III. My dad lived in hawaii and knew about it, and he told me all about it back in the early 90s or something, i dunno, blocked out most of my childhood. Then a friend of mine introduced me into Cowboy Bebop (Fan Subs of horribility, but i still loved it, and i saw dah movie too of course this was many yeras after "Rupin".) Then after that i learned of Excel...the most insane show ever. Then i picked up on Trigun, La blue girl (A wholesome treat for the whole family

) and then I learned Bebop was dubbed so i hounded those up quickly like. Then i learned of SAMURAI X you kenshin lovin' foos. Dat's right. The movies were here fIRST! Recently i've been checkin' out GTO and Hellsing, which i love and want more of. GIMMIE!

My first anime was some strange show about space pirates on a sci-fi channel at 3am...but I don't know what it was. The first anime I watched (knowing it was anime) was Sailor Moon. After I saw that in japanese I switched to hardcore. ^_^; Gundam Wing. Then I stepped into DBZ for a while - mostly to find out who Trunks was, and then I stayed to watch Vegeta. One of my wonderfully wealthy friends introduced me to her Rurouni Kenshin collection and I dove into that for a while. But now I'm into YYH more than anything else. If I ever get the manga for it I can die happy. ^_^

Space Pirates? Only thing that comes to mind is Captain Harlock.

I watched Voltron(with the lions) and Battle Of The Planets.

First title I watched that I knew as anime was Robotech.

My first anime....DBZ when it was on public tv so I was like, 6? 7? I don't know...I thought it was the crappiest thing ever. I didn't know what anime was back then. The anime that got me hooked was Card Captor Sakura.I'll kill WB for dubbing it that horribly (shudders)

Well, I forgot all about Voltron. That one was my first. Otherwise, it was Sailormoon ::shudders::

I've grown to hate Sailormoon. That's why.
