Forums - General - The very first anime you ever watched?

Pokemon or Dragonball most likely. Though back then, I was just watching whatever was on TV, and my first 'real' introduction to anime was with Hellsing. It's one of the few series I can still watch to this day, just because it's made of awesome. And I love the manga.

Hellsing

Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Slayers, Slam dunk, all that was on tv on the mid 90s when I was like 5, 6 or something like that. Then I moved on to others like gundam wing, HxH and rurouni kenshin.
I used to watch a lot of tv



Sailor Moon was on broadcast TV before school. I think it was elementary, but maybe middle school.

On the other hand, I somehow have vague memories of watching Gigantor. That was a crazy show.

To start with, the theme song:
Gigantor! Gigantor!
He's bigger than big!
He's stronger than strong!
He's faster than fast!
Gigantor! Gigantor!

And the show was such a contradiction. I saw some of it recently. It had surprisingly realistic action; characters were having a gunfight and taking cover behind cars, and then one of them threw a satchel bomb.

... And then a giant invincible flying robot saves the day.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

The first ones I can still remember watching are Captain Future and The Wonderful Adventures of Nils but their where numerous other animes that where shown on German TV in the late 70's and early 80's.



Battle Of The Planets (American version).

I believe that it is called Gatchaman in Japan.

It has been ripped off numerous times.

The first anime I watched willingly knowing it was anime was Death Note and it fucking sucked.

The first anime I watched not knowing it was anime was Captain Tsubasa spanish dub and it was awesome.




Some random show called "Ronin Warriors". Was mildly popular back in the early 90s. At the time I thought it was such a bad ass show. Looking back it seems kind of cheap and lame. But kids are easily impressed.

Venus Wars was the first back when they played anime movies in the middle of the night. Hell, I thought all anime was in the form of movies for the longest.
