Tenchi the Movie 2: The Daughter of Darkness. Coincidentally, It was my first online purchase as well. Didn't even have a DVD player at the time. Just an iMac. That was in 2000. And typing that last sentence made me realize, "Shit. I'm old."

I honestly don't remember which I bought first, but I got a large number of VHS dubs around 10 years ago (earlier DBZ, Lain, and a dozen or so movies or OVAs like GitS, Armitage, Ninja Scroll, Variable Geo, Golgo 13, etc.). I don't think I've actually bought anything since then that I currently own though.

Magic Knight Rayearth Sunset/Twilight double pack on VHS. I've replaced those tapes on DVD (three times now, in fact), so I donated the tapes to my college's anime club when I graduated. Sometimes I wish I hadn't, because the spine art was awesome.

It was either a Slayers vhs (category, old bitch) or Pokemon for my kids. *smacks head on keyboard* When you're quickly headed into menopause, it's not cool to ask about your first *buying pleasure* ...

Hmmm...Lao Fu Zi, Gigantor, and Doraemon are the earliest I can think of. This is back when I was five, so obviously I didn't buy the anime personally, however we did own the anime.

The first actual purchase of an anime would have to be the first generation of Dragonball Z movies, the first probably Ora no Gohan o Kaese!! (now known as Dead Zone) bought on a Laser Disc.

Mmm Laser Discs, now those were the good old days.

First anime I bought myself was the first 2 Tenchi Muyo OVAs.
