First Anime for me was "Speed Racer"
but that was before I understood the concept of "Japanese Animation"

I started to get the idea when I was watching "Battle of the Planets" (the US release of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman)

So... I count both of those as the first anime I ever watched.

the fartherst back i can remember sould be either Dragon balls or samuri pizza cats, when it was aired in canada when i was a kid.

The first anime i watched to get me back into anime, unwittingly was Blood: the last vampire. I aw it and really didn't know it was anime, jsut thought it was a cool cartoon because it didn't look like pokemon or Dragon ball Z.

The first anime i knowingly, activly sought out, was FLCL ... bad choice for a first anime, but i still liked it.

Mine were Ronin Warriors, Akira, Transformers, and a couple others. That was at least 10 years ago and just thought they were some cool cartoons. lol

For me it all started with Satuday Anime on the scifi channel, even though they only ever seemed to Akira, Demon city i forget what the rest of the name is, and ROBOT CARNIVAL. i love robot carnival, im still looking for a copy. But what really started me was Ronin Warriors. It came on at like 5:30 or 6 in the morning, and if i missed it then i came on again at 9:30 on Star 64( that channel crashed and burned) but that is basicly what started me. 8)

My first "VHS" anime was borrowed from a friend called "Oh My Goddess".

[ever since then, I realized I loved romance comedy anime and that all others were just inferior to me ]

I remember Technoman[Tekkaman] on tv but i don't remember Record of Lodoss War ever being on tv. I guess it was regional.

Mines was something like Transformers (never really fully consider it anime though. Done by american writer and artist)
Or it was a show that i can not rember the name of but I remeber the guy turn into a robot thing with a crystal and he could only do it for like 30 min at a time.
Speed Racer in there some where
