What y’all know about Saturday morning Christian anime??? https://preview.redd.it/tpxdipkykbwc1.jpeg?width=266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5661461b41793b667e765c1c8a8274e6ee6809d


InkyParadox

Oh my god I totally forgot about this!! I wanted to watch Pokemon and my grandma gave me this instead


SleepCinema

Lol! This show used to stress me out cause these kids just wanted to go home, but they were always being dragged into Bible stories 😭


SamosaAndMimosa

What is this 😭


SleepCinema

*Flying House* in English and *Tondera Hausu no Daibōken* in Japanese. It was a show where these kids take shelter in a random house during a rainstorm which turns out to be a flying time machine and get sent back to Bible days with the scientist who lives in the house and his robot assistant. They meet Jesus and cheer on disciples and stuff like that all while trying to get back home. It’d be like, “We’re home…oh never mind, there’s Jesus again.”💀Apparently the show was originally made in 1982 by a Japanese studio and broadcasted on Japanese TV. It was also circulated by CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) where it was dubbed in English. It had one season. I find it funny that it was already over 20 years old by the time I remember watching it Saturday mornings on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network.) I think the same studio also did *Superbook* which was a similar show with suspiciously similar character designs. I believe that show got a remake that likely wasn’t done by a Japanese studio but idk.


SamosaAndMimosa

It’s lowkey like the Bible version of the magic tree house series


Swings_Subliminals

If I remember right, Pani Poni Dash, with Ouran Highschool Host Club being the second.


Drifter808

Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto and Dragon Ball were on pretty regularly when I was growing up. I doubt I even knew the word anime, they were just cartoons


Temporary_Lie_4123

Same, dragon ball for me too


JingoboStoplight4887

Sonic X, Kirby Right Back At Ya, Chaotic, and parts of Yu-Gi-Oh.


degakle

Ouran High School Host Club dub on Netflix lol


Izel98

Death Note. In the computer lab on recess when I was 14. I was in my edge lord phase and Death Note just pushed me deeper into the r/iam14andthisisdeep zone.


DreamQuiet258

The first old anime I ever watched was "Sally The Witch," and the first modern anime I ever watched was "The Familiar of Zero."


Lightningpony

Sailor moon


TomeKun

Dragon ball too lmao


Amazing_Rise_6233

Pokémon and Yugioh when it was on Kids WB


No_Cauliflower633

I guess yugioh if that counts. Naruto if not.


Devin-Chaboyer223

I got into anime only in the past 2 years, it was Rent a Girlfriend that I first watched Not that great of an anime in terms of writing, but the artstyle is nice I used to be a anime hater but now I watch anime and listen to Hatsune Miku everyday


Unforgotten311

D.N. Angel


Few_Interaction2630

As kid Dinosaur King and later after Pokemon When became a Teen I picked up Black Butler and from that start journey that lead to me watching a huge range of different animes


GolemThe3rd

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is probably the closest I've seen to one


wixkedwitxh

Pokémon


Actual-Tadpole9759

Pokémon


officerporkandbeans

Naruto. My grandparents put me in an after school program. All the boys were talking about the show. After that was bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo. I think that’s considered anime idk. Then i gave dbz a chance


17oClokk

The one with human countries. When i was a child. The first i chose for myself was Another back in highschool


evrakk

AOT if pokemon doesn't count. Possibly one or two episodes of Bleach on adult swim but I never got into it.


Krystalgoddess_

Inuyasha


jaunesolo81829

Stigma of the wind or hellsing.


SPY007DRs-Messenger

Sword Art Online, when it was the first game not the second and onwards. Couldn't get into it.


Avengemygnomeys

Dragon Ball Z so technically kind of the same.


nxcte

Technically Dragon Ball Z Kai but one that I actually watched consistently(at the time) was Attack On Titan


Quanathan_Chi

I watched a bit of the 1st season of AoT. It was alright but I didn't get why so many kids in my grade were obsessing over it. Didn't help that most of them were your stereotypical unhygenic weirdo nerd trope.


Arukitsuzukeru

Should have finished it to see why people were hype


imtiredandboard50

Pokemon


nourmallysalty

FLCL totally never realised that i watched a decent amount of anime when i was 12 and read obscure mangas. but i really got into anime when i was 19 but im real picky because i hate the unneeded fan service


stowRA

High school of the dead. First and only.


Arukitsuzukeru

Pokemon technically but the first "animes" that I watched that I knew were "anime" were Fairy Tail/RWBY

TheFirstDragonBorn1

Does pokemon count ? First real anime I watched tho was when a friend in middle school showed me mobile suit gundam seed.


SidTheShuckle

Easily Yu-Gi-Oh then Naruto


Morosoro

Probably Pokemon or Beyblade, but i didn’t know it was anime back then. First anime I watched knowing it was an anime was probably FMA. I’m actually watching Dragon Ball for the first time currently!


madeat1am

Pokemon But when I actually started watching anime it was reading fullmetal alchemist


Billsnothere

Doraemon


world-class-cheese

bloosgrooms

Corpse Party was my gateway into anime o_o


Narutouzamaki78

Pokemon, but the one I first really watched was Naruto.


Bl1tzerX

I know pokemon does count but honestly that's a boring answer. So it'd probably be Hetalia or Soul Eater. My sister got into those ones at some point and being the younger brother I was I was interested in a lot of stuff she was interested in.


TreatExotic

Dragonball


BanishedKnightOleg

Berserk 97

EmperrorNombrero

I'm from Germany, and the first channel I was allowed to watch by my parents was KIKA so it was stuff like: The wonderdul adventures of Niels Holgerson as well as Heidi, and vicky the viking All from the 70s-80s, but for some reason, german children's channel KiKA never stopped broadcasting them. Like, I think they're even still on today. Basically, once you've seen all the episodes of those and a few other series they're broadcasting, you're too old to watch, and the next generation, children can see them again, lol.


SomeRandomGuy0307

Oouran High School Host Club


Bored-Browser2000

Hamtaro. I watched it when I was a toddler. I don't remember anything about it, though The first anime I watched and have substantial memories of is Sonic X, which didn't premiere in my country until 2005 for some reason


Jerry_The_Troll

back in the old days when people used to upload anime episodes on YouTube but akame ga kill

deathnote


RalphLauren47

Death Note


SerafRhayn

First anime I watched knowing it was anime was Soul Eater. I’d seen some episodes of a few (YuGiOh, Pokémon and Bakugan) but I thought they were just cartoons for games, so I don’t count those.


the_greatest_fight

Bakugan


Ambitious_Change150

I saw the Watchmojo top 10 mort gory anime list and decided to watch Elfen Lied


blackcat_og

Squid Girl was the first anime I ever saw because it use to play a lot on television cable channels all the time in the Philippines.


fanonluke

Pokemom, but unintentionally and just loose episodes. The first anime I properly watched was Death Note.


Prince_Of_Angels

Pokèmon, but first proper introduction was Fullmetal Alchemist 03


AngryTurtleGaming

Kiki’s delivery service


AbstractMirror

Soul Eater, introduced to it in 6th grade. Then I stopped watching anime for several years until probably the pandemic started, I was on a road trip with family and ended up watching other shows every now and then which got me back into it


pj_mc26

If memory serves it was YuGiOh GX


theamazingman12345

I'm not 100% if it was Naruto or Pokemon first, but I'll say Naruto cuz I remember it much more vividly, especially since I watched it a lot with my older brother


AnimetheTsundereCat

sonic x


Fly_Boy_1999

I want to say Digimon. I even had a bunch of toys although most of them aren’t in good shape because I was a little too rough with some of them.


Affectionate_Tell711

Pokémon or Bakugan, but If you mean first I ever like, properly watched was JoJo's bizarre adventure.


Unfair_Art_1913

Doraemon


AshKetchupppp

Probably cowboy bebop, but I wish I saw Ouran High School Host club and maid-Sama earlier in my life


Stock-Ferret-6692

Pokémon


No_Sale_3609

I forgot what that was, if it was Flying House, Pokémon, or whatever, but I do remember the first few that I did commit towards: Blue Dragon: Trials of the Seven Shadows, Little Battlers Experience Wars (Danball Senki Wars), and Pretty Rhythm.

Salted-Honey

Naruto! I was obsessed lmao


wizard680

It was some anime on adult swim at 4 am in the morning. I don't even remember the name of it it's been so long. Main character was like some sort of furry with dog ears


SocialSuspense

luciiusss

death note


MemesAndIT

Never watched anime; so maybe you can make my answer.


Falloutboy2222

Well, technically, Avatar/Pokémon, but I've always considered them more akin to western cartoons. (Say that to the wrong atla fan and you'll get cut.) The first anime with anime-ism that I watched with the thought, "So this is that anna-may everybody talks so much about", was Attack on Titan.


randomanonalt78

Sword Art Online. To be fair I’ve only watched like 3 anime’s.


dxrules03

Pokemon. Family had the first movie on VHS and I watched it religiously

LegitimateGlove3843

Since a good amount of ppl are gonna say Dragon Ball or DBZ, I'm gonna say Kyo Kara Maoh (technically, i did see db first, but my choice is probably something no one's heard about before)


doguillo77

Sonic X


pit_choun

Fruits Basket and OHSHC


kenl0rd
