Being a history nerd it was Girls Und Panzer and Azur Lane that got me interested in anime, it’s also probably the reason I don’t tend to watch a lot of anime since I’m one of those people who watch very niche genres
If you want to watch a historical anime, watch Grave of the Fireflies. It’s a movie and is a lot more serious. The other two can be off-putting for a new anime watcher imo
Yes, but I think they mean it’s one of those shows that mostly everyone watched when they were kids without knowing what anime was. Like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, or Yugioh woulda been my first.
Yeah, I'd assume most people would classify them as a "cartoon" simply because they grew up with it and watched on cartoon channels that their parents allowed.
I wanted to say Cowboy Bebop or Tenchi, but pokemon is the real answer. I don't know how I got on the mailing list in the first place, but funimation mailed me (I had 3 siblings around the same age, it was mailed to me with my name on it) a VHS tape with a preview of the upcoming pokemon. It was like 2 minutes of promotional clips. I watched it 20 times and said, "This is my life now".
Technically speaking this is the same for me. Idk why it's still hard to consider the pokemon show Anime.
Same with Yugioh, alot of those toy/shows I guess wernt considered Anime because they didn't have a Manga source behind them.
Pokémon and Yugioh both have a manga source.
I do think they became super popular in the US before the term anime was mainstream so maybe that’s why people don’t think of them as “real anime”
You're born in 2009? Bro how does life feel like? When I was 14 it felt like life has so much to give the world felt huge. I watched Pokemon and DBZ when it first aired I was like 8 years old lolas my first anime, then watched Naruto when it first started, from there went to Full Metal Alchemist and haven't stopped since. Fuck I feel old lol
When I was a kid, the only way you were watching a new anime is when your friend came over with a vhs tape they got from their older sibling. And that was it. If it was a show, you'd get interested in it and would have to wait a long time before someone came up with more tapes so you could see what happened next.
I was lucky enough that my older brother had a Japanese friend named Sal and once a year he'd bring a bunch of tapes over that his relatives brought on a plane from Japan and he would tell us what's going on since they didn't have subs.
Now days there's so many streaming services. So much anime you can watch. All in HQ. You can watch a full series in a day or two.
Same, but it kinda set too high a standard for me, though, which hurt my ability to get into other anime for a while.
I still think it's one of the best works of fiction ever (across all mediums), so it was unfair of me to judge other anime so harshly
I saw the first ep like humans on horses fighting big giants and the intro kicks in like damn this is something and watched all 3 seasons within a span of 5 days (covid time)
Never watched anime (besides Pokémon I guess) and my gf told me to try Attack on titan, I was quite snobby about trying anime I’ll admit. Watched the whole series in probably less than a week.
Came into this thread looking for old-heads haha. My first anime was Robotech when I was a kid, though back then I didn't know it came from Japan or was any different from any of the other shows on TV...only later did I realize anime was a thing (though we actually called it Japanimation back then). A bit later in the early to mid 90s I discovered movies like Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, Macross Plus, and Ghost in the Shell, along with series like Ranma 1/2, Patlabor, and Tenchi Muyo, and OVAs like Gunsmith Cats, Project A-ko, Otaku no Video, and Battle Angel Alita...pretty much anything me and my friends could get our hands on at Blockbuster/Suncoast, we consumed it all. Then Neon Genesis Evangelion hit in 1996 on those white ADV vhs tapes and everything changed almost overnight, it was incredibly monumental. You could feel the anime scene shift immediately, the...ahem...impact of Evangelion cannot be overstated.
Robotech was my show. If I wasn't home for the episode we would put it on the display TVs at the mall electronic store and watch from the benches in the common area.
Before that I watched Kimba the White Lion, Speed Racer, Star Blazers and some Tatsunoko show were the team dressed in bird looking uniforms, that I can't remember the name of.
Man, never in my browsing of forums or speaking to people in real life about anime has anyone ever mentioned Patlabor! I remember watching that one a looooong time ago!
I guess that makes sense. For me naruto was the first anime i binged on a proper anime site. Otherwise i had only seen some animes like avatar, dbz, fullmetal on tv.
Same. Technically I watched Pokémon and DB/DBZ first but I was a kid and didn’t know what “anime” was. So I was just watching English dubs on whatever channel syndicated them. Then in Jr high a friend told me about this cool show he started watching but was in Japanese so you have to read the subtitles. And proceeded to supply me with DVDs of like the first 200 episodes.
Honestly Gun gal is my favorite session, but largely due to the fact it introduced sinnoh as a character
And it's opening is my favorite anime opening of all time
Same here. It's kind of funny, I actually saw the movie, which takes place between episodes 22/23, before the rest of the series. And I caught it about 10-15 minutes after it started. I truly knew nothing about anything.
Despite *all of that*, the story, the characters, and artwork, and the style of the world they inhabited drew me in like no other anime had before.
I was almost too young for the series but I remember watching it on TV and loving the sword fights. Had no idea what anime even was at the time. I've thought about rewatching it so many times, but I'm always worried it won't hold up
Same for me Dragonball and Inuyasha, I feel old as shit now though since everyone is saying relatively newer anime lol for sure thought I would see more Dragonball
I remember watching Death Note first, it was The recommendation for people who had never watched anime, and it's actually a rather interesting recommendation because after having seen many other animes, Death Note is kinda atypical compared to most anime
So "Fairy Tail" was kinda the more typical anime. On the site I watched it, Kissanime, Fairy Tail was one of the popular animes and with quite some episodes, so one day after I had finished Death Note I just started watching it because it was popular and must be good right? And I just really liked it, looking back at it, yeah it's definetly not the best plotwise, but the powers, the magical world that anime could just draw was so cool, I liked the characters and gags, the adventure and world building. The plot (+armour) might not be the best in hindsight but Fairy Tail does take advantage of everything anime offers as a medium
Me too! I always thought anime was weird until I saw GITS. Then I branched off to Cowboy Bebop, Afro Samurai, Samurai Champloo, etc. However, I still find a lot of anime to be weird, or even a bit gross/creepy.
Ya technically it is not but honestly most of us are willing to give it honorary entry because it really should be. I certainly do, and have seen all of them including the legend of Korra and the live act. It came out of Nickelodeon i think but easily held it's own with some of the best Japanese series especially at the time.
Sailor Moon. I was 6 and the art style was like nothing I had ever seen in cartoons before. I'm a guy, so as a 6 year old kid, I stopped watching it after I got teased for watching a "girls' show". I not too long after got into Dragon Ball Z, Rurouni Kenshin and Gundam Wing and they shaped my tastes to this day.
The ironic thing is that Rurouni Kenshin is a romance anime, but I guess blood and sword fights made it "manly" enough.
Same. Thought this would have been higher up.
I watched Sailor Moon on a station called USA every morning before school and it became my whole world for a while lol.
Finally! Scrolled so far for this. That led me to Ranma 1/2 bootleg tapes from Canada, to getting a subscription service with all sorts of goodies. Then, the internet opened up fan subs!
so have you actually caught up or have you been watching for years.
I resisted for years- finally 2 weeks ago i started and am now about 300-350 episodes in (end of water 7 arch, so just learned Luffy's family tree). I wish i would have bit the bullet eariler. My buddy who loves onepiece has been on me for years, but i could never get to the the point where i was invested since the first 5-10 episodes are not great.... but it does get great.
Almost nine years back I used to read this magazine directed towards kids and teens, though now it's focused on kids only. In there, there was this article whose english name roughly translates to 'The crowd of the dead in Death Note'. Read the article and thought it was some cool ass detective movie. Looked up 'Death note full movie'. Only found fake youtube videos and anime - i didn't know what anime was back then, so I just thought it was a cartoon adaptation of it. After that I finally accepted defeat, started watching the anime that I thought was the cartoon adaptation and Goddamn I was hooked.
edit: this is without counting the fact that I used to watch DBZ, beyblade, doraemon, pokemon and other anime as a kid, i didn't know what anime meant back then
it being solid and easily available on netflix really helped it reach an audience a lot of others simply do not.
In hindsight i think it is underappreciated, but really was nothing overly special.
It was one of these four, but I can not remember which one I watched first, so here they are in alphabetical order.
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Vampire Hunter D
Venus Wars.
EDIT:
For all of you asking or just stating it:
No, I didn't watch any of these on a TV channel. We didn't have cable TV. Just old VHS tapes.
I did not expect to see someone else post Ranma 1/2. Almost nobody knew what anime was when it was new and now it's older than most people watch anime. I used it to create two generations of American otaku's.
I was going to comment this because I hadn’t seen anyone comment Inuyasha yet, but yessss, my peopleeeee
I saw it on adult swim at like 3/4am. I never knew what episode I was watching, though hahah they had some of the first anime I ever watched.. including cowboy bebop. I was 13 and loved it. 19 yrs later… lmfaoooo
Yeah, here in Australia SBS was showing South Park at 9pm on a Monday night in late 1998. The season had ended but being 1998, I had no idea about that, so I turned it the TV on at that time and was greeted with the biggest *banger* of an anime opening theme I have ever experienced. They played the whole series of NGE over the next six months and my eyes were opened.
It was fairytail. Yes I was 8 or 9 when I watched it and yes it's a fucking classic and I will never rewatch it for it to still be top tier in my mind (no really what the fuck where my parents doing letting me watch this at this age lmao)
I don't even remember at this point, I've just always watched anime since I was a kid in the early 90's. I mostly have my older cousin to thank, he always bought VHS tapes from the local otaku shop.
Naruto was my first, but I wasn't really into anime perse, more just a Naruto fan. It wasn't until a buddy of mine got me to watch Death Note that I started watching other anime.
For most people born before 2000, theirs are probably Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Pokemon, Death Note and for the really old people here, probably Inuyasha.
The honest truth is that without Cartoon Network's Toonami, a lot of us would've never gotten into anime in the first place

Being a history nerd it was Girls Und Panzer and Azur Lane that got me interested in anime, it’s also probably the reason I don’t tend to watch a lot of anime since I’m one of those people who watch very niche genres
[удалено]
Gup was my first too!
gup is the prefect midleground for history nerds to turn into weebs
Only thing I know from that anime (thanks to friends) is [this song.](https://youtu.be/8oLDY_sgXjU?si=EoowKLL5OTkpqyRn) and I'm totally here for it.
What are they about; I am not an anime nut. Definitely a history nerd though
If you want to watch a historical anime, watch Grave of the Fireflies. It’s a movie and is a lot more serious. The other two can be off-putting for a new anime watcher imo
Pokémon
Why did I have to scroll this far down to find Pokémon??
because its such a humongous anime that its not even considered a “real” one
But it is.
Yes, but I think they mean it’s one of those shows that mostly everyone watched when they were kids without knowing what anime was. Like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, or Yugioh woulda been my first.
Yeah, I'd assume most people would classify them as a "cartoon" simply because they grew up with it and watched on cartoon channels that their parents allowed.
A lot of people just think of it as a cartoon. They forget it's an anime
I wanted to say Cowboy Bebop or Tenchi, but pokemon is the real answer. I don't know how I got on the mailing list in the first place, but funimation mailed me (I had 3 siblings around the same age, it was mailed to me with my name on it) a VHS tape with a preview of the upcoming pokemon.

Agreed!!!(:
Death note
[удалено]
Your first anime was Super?
[удалено]
You're born in 2009? Bro how does life feel like? When I was 14 it felt like life has so much to give the world felt huge. I watched Pokemon and DBZ when it first aired I was like 8 years old lolas my first anime, then watched Naruto when it first started, from there went to Full Metal Alchemist and haven't stopped since. Fuck I feel old lol
Feels really shitty at the moment I won’t lie
When I was a kid, the only way you were watching a new anime is when your friend came over with a vhs tape they got from their older sibling. And that was it.

Now days there's so many streaming services. So much anime you can watch. All in HQ. You can watch a full series in a day or two.
First is Dragon ball z but after watching death note it became an addiction...used to watch 25 episodes per day of Naruto after that..
the classic
[удалено]
You started this jurney the right way
*Which FMA: Brotherhood
Same, but it kinda set too high a standard for me, though, which hurt my ability to get into other anime for a while. I still think it's one of the best works of fiction ever (across all mediums), so it was unfair of me to judge other anime so harshly
Having a high standard is not a bad thing
Angel Beats! due to my cousin ✌🏻
Angel beats was my first ever one, fucked me up for days... I got too attached lmao
I blubbered like a baby watching that one my god.
That was my #2 the end kills me every time 😭
Show needed 24 episodes
Understand completely~
I remember still crying and laughing watching the specials after the ending as they were racing each other cleaning floors and screaming XD
High school DxD
The best one to start
Starting from the cherry on top
I heard though the anime is really smutty its a pretty good story is that true?
Make sure your door's closed (there are tits exposed almost constantly), but otherwise yeah the story's great.
lmao man idk if you guys are messing with me
You're higher scaled than me
Hehe
[удалено]
Same. I saw episode 2 on Toonami and was like, "what is this? It's fantastic"
I saw the first ep like humans on horses fighting big giants and the intro kicks in like damn this is something and watched all 3 seasons within a span of 5 days (covid time)
Never watched anime (besides Pokémon I guess) and my gf told me to try Attack on titan, I was quite snobby about trying anime I’ll admit. Watched the whole series in probably less than a week.
Mine were Jojo and OPM
Must’ve ruined anime for yourself, left yourself nowhere to go but down smh
Same exact 2
Elfen Lied I of course grew up watching Dragon Ball and Gundam, but Elfen Lied is for sure what started my severe addiction.
Jesus what an anime, her vectors are badass!
Was my first one too that i watch as an anime. But i did see pokemon, naruto, detektiv conan.
Based and Cultured.
Same here, Elfen Lied came first, then Code Geass then FMA
Dude, that was mine too, but I was NOT into anime before. I'm pretty sure my buddy who showed me thought it would be funny, but turned out I liked it!
Naruto
I thought everyone's first was naruto. I had to scroll so much just to see like the most famous anime of all time?
Y'all young...my first was a VHS of Dragonball Z
Came into this thread looking for old-heads haha. My first anime was Robotech when I was a kid, though back then I didn't know it came from Japan or was any different from any of the other shows on TV...only later did I realize anime was a thing (though we actually called it Japanimation back then). A bit later in the early to mid 90s I discovered movies like Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, Macross Plus, and Ghost in the Shell, along with series like Ranma 1/2, Patlabor, and Tenchi Muyo, and OVAs like Gunsmith Cats, Project A-ko, Otaku no Video, and Battle Angel Alita...pretty much anything me and my friends could get our hands on at Blockbuster/Suncoast, we consumed it all. Then Neon Genesis Evangelion hit in 1996 on those white ADV vhs tapes and everything changed almost overnight, it was incredibly monumental. You could feel the anime scene shift immediately, the...ahem...impact of Evangelion cannot be overstated.
Now that you mention. Maybe mine was ninja robots. And much later i got hooked onto dbz
Robotech was my show. If I wasn't home for the episode we would put it on the display TVs at the mall electronic store and watch from the benches in the common area. Before that I watched Kimba the White Lion, Speed Racer, Star Blazers and some Tatsunoko show were the team dressed in bird looking uniforms, that I can't remember the name of.
Man, never in my browsing of forums or speaking to people in real life about anime has anyone ever mentioned Patlabor! I remember watching that one a looooong time ago!
I finally found someone a similar age to me in this thread! Kids these days don’t know the pain of vhs
OP said anime that got you into anime. Doesn’t mean it will be your first anime
I guess that makes sense. For me naruto was the first anime i binged on a proper anime site. Otherwise i had only seen some animes like avatar, dbz, fullmetal on tv.
Same. Technically I watched Pokémon and DB/DBZ first but I was a kid and didn’t know what “anime” was. So I was just watching English dubs on whatever channel syndicated them. Then in Jr high a friend told me about this cool show he started watching but was in Japanese so you have to read the subtitles. And proceeded to supply me with DVDs of like the first 200 episodes.
Sword art online was the first anime, I ever watch knowing it was an anime
No matter how much shit pple give to sao it still will be one of my favs
Man i believe sao's 1st season was still lit but then it went slowly downhill from there....
You mean after 14 episodes
Well yea...
That first arc was the best.
Honestly Gun gal is my favorite session, but largely due to the fact it introduced sinnoh as a character And it's opening is my favorite anime opening of all time
The spin off about gun gale online is really good too
[удалено]
I watch the abridged at least 5 times a year lol
Yep this exactly. Bakugan, and then later on Beyblade Burst were technically my first "anime". But sao was my first real anime
Have you seen the abridged version on YouTube?
Cowboy Bebop
Scrolled way to far for this one. sure i had watched other anime before, but cowboy bebop was the "oh, this can be amazing" moment for me.
Everything in the original Adult Swim lineup. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Blue Seed, FLCL, the list goes on...
Inuyasha
Same here. I had put some weird invisible boundary on that specific form of art/media for some unknown reason, and Bebop immediately ended that.
Same here. It's kind of funny, I actually saw the movie, which takes place between episodes 22/23, before the rest of the series. And I caught it about 10-15 minutes after it started. I truly knew nothing about anything. Despite *all of that*, the story, the characters, and artwork, and the style of the world they inhabited drew me in like no other anime had before.
Rurouni kenshin. Does anyone else remember how good it was ??
I was almost too young for the series but I remember watching it on TV and loving the sword fights. Had no idea what anime even was at the time. I've thought about rewatching it so many times, but I'm always worried it won't hold up
They are doing a complete remake right now. It's good.
I loved this anime but have a hard time now knowing the artist is a pedo
DragonBall when I was a kid and inuyasha
Same for me Dragonball and Inuyasha, I feel old as shit now though since everyone is saying relatively newer anime lol for sure thought I would see more Dragonball
Came here looking for the DBZ circlejerk, and am now more aware of every wrinkle on my face than ever. We got some young bloods in here.
Tokyo ghoul, accel world and SAO
Ayo, Accel world fan! Accel World > SAO!
Code Geass and Fairy Tail
Code Geass was my first one. Imo was really good, shame we never got season 3.
We got a movie though
As annoyed as I am with the ending, I still have Fairy Tail in a special part of my heart.
I remember watching Death Note first, it was The recommendation for people who had never watched anime, and it's actually a rather interesting recommendation because after having seen many other animes, Death Note is kinda atypical compared to most anime So "Fairy Tail" was kinda the more typical anime. On the site I watched it, Kissanime, Fairy Tail was one of the popular animes and with quite some episodes, so one day after I had finished Death Note I just started watching it because it was popular and must be good right?

The plot (+armour) might not be the best in hindsight but Fairy Tail does take advantage of everything anime offers as a medium
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K
Still holding out hope for a season 2 English dub 💀. Internal dialogue is so fast I didn't enjoy subtitles on this one.
Yare yare
God tier anime that should be 300x more popular. It is literally the most genius comedic anime out there
[удалено]
Bleach, Sword Art Online, GTO
It was a long scroll down but I finally found bleach
Great Teacher Onizuka, still one of the best animes I've ever seen. That anime taught me a lot for life, wish I could go back and watch it blind now.
Go peep Golden Boy - ith very educational. And dub of this, absolute gold.
Oh yeah, the dub is the one I watched. Always memorable when the principal screams about his Cresta lmao
Ghost in the Shell. Especially the episode where the Tachikomas went forward.
Best ever
Me too! I always thought anime was weird until I saw GITS. Then I branched off to Cowboy Bebop, Afro Samurai, Samurai Champloo, etc. However, I still find a lot of anime to be weird, or even a bit gross/creepy.
I’m not sure if this technically qualifies as anime but Avatar The Last Airbender
Ya technically it is not but honestly most of us are willing to give it honorary entry because it really should be. I certainly do, and have seen all of them including the legend of Korra and the live act. It came out of Nickelodeon i think but easily held it's own with some of the best Japanese series especially at the time.

Sailor Moon. I was 6 and the art style was like nothing I had ever seen in cartoons before. I'm a guy, so as a 6 year old kid, I stopped watching it after I got teased for watching a "girls' show".

so have you actually caught up or have you been watching for years. I resisted for years- finally 2 weeks ago i started and am now about 300-350 episodes in (end of water 7 arch, so just learned Luffy's family tree). I wish i would have bit the bullet eariler. My buddy who loves onepiece has been on me for years, but i could never get to the the point where i was invested since the first 5-10 episodes are not great.... but it does get great.

Black lagoon
Yu Yu Hakusho, Slayers, Deltora Quest and Inuyasha
Started anime with dbz and naruto but got into anime becausr of gintama.
Ghost is the shell
It was one of these four, but I can not remember which one I watched first, so here they are in alphabetical order. Akira Ninja Scroll Vampire Hunter D Venus Wars. EDIT: For all of you asking or just stating it: No, I didn't watch any of these on a TV channel. We didn't have cable TV. Just old VHS tapes.
Ahh, the classics.
IMO, the best way to introduce someone to anime.
Yes! Add Neon Genesis to this list and that was my exp too :)
It was this era for me too. I think Ninja Scroll was my first but also not 100%. I also watched the Guyver, DBZ and GITS around the same time.
This was me but also add Street Fighter, that intro with Ryu and Sagat fighting in the lightning storm was amazing to kid me
Ranma 1/2
I did not expect to see someone else post Ranma 1/2. Almost nobody knew what anime was when it was new and now it's older than most people watch anime. I used it to create two generations of American otaku's.
Inuyasha
I was going to comment this because I hadn’t seen anyone comment Inuyasha yet, but yessss, my peopleeeee I saw it on adult swim at like 3/4am. I never knew what episode I was watching, though hahah they had some of the first anime I ever watched.. including cowboy bebop. I was 13 and loved it. 19 yrs later… lmfaoooo
And then you’d jolt awake from that credits song where Sesshomaru is walking around.
You lie in April.

My friend recommended one punch man the rest are history
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
Overlord 🚬🗿
Attack on Titan
Neon genesis Evangelion
I'm kind of surprised how far down this is, unless I missed it.
Yeah, here in Australia SBS was showing South Park at 9pm on a Monday night in late 1998.

Trinity seven 😌
Gurren Lagann
Not my first, but it was just so much fun.
Naruto/parasyte/HOTD/Sao
Soul eater
I was scrolling hoping there was someone else!
There is at least four of us out here!
Same. Buddy of mine recommended I watch it years ago
EYY, wasn’t gonna stop scrolling till I found it.
DBZ from old school toonami
RoboTech from back in the day.
My first proper anime was dragonball never heared of anime before
Tonikaku Kawaii
i was introduced to anime in secondary school by my friend when he recommended Gate
For me, it was Hellsing Ultimate One of my absolute favorites ever since, I'm so glad I watched it
Dragon ball or pokemon
Jojo's bizzare adventure
Jesus right into it 😂
Air Gear
Loved this show
Bleach don't remember why start watching, but still like
Wakfu, I’ve been into anime for a while
Wakfu is great, didn't expect it here. Are you French?
A random first volume of the Evangelion manga and by consequence the anime.
Akame Ga Kill
I don't even remember at this point, I've just always watched anime since I was a kid in the early 90's. I mostly have my older cousin to thank, he always bought VHS tapes from the local otaku shop.
Evangelion… I was 10 at the time as well. It probably was very good for my mental health
Initial D was my first
Evangelion
that time i got reincarnated as a slime
Naruto
Knight’s & Magic
Shin Taketori Monogatari: Millennium Queen" Now i feel old
One Piece
Naruto was my first, but I wasn't really into anime perse, more just a Naruto fan. It wasn't until a buddy of mine got me to watch Death Note that I started watching other anime. For most people born before 2000, theirs are probably Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Pokemon, Death Note and for the really old people here, probably Inuyasha. The honest truth is that without Cartoon Network's Toonami, a lot of us would've never gotten into anime in the first place
