Your first anime?

I thought this would be an interesting topic for everyone to join in on.

The topic is: what was the very first anime you watched, and why/how did you come about watching it?


My first was Trigun.

My story (I'll make it short) goes like this. I had two really good friends, James and Eric. We played games together and did a lot of stuff. James was the first to invite me to watch anime, a gundam series that was airing at the time. I was busy with a lot of other things so I never got the chance to see it. Shortly after that my best friend Eric recommended an anime that was airing and said I had to see it. He guaranteed that I would like it. Well I watched it and I was hooked. I had already played a few Japanese RPGs he lent me and was starting to get into the art style, and the rest is history as they say.

That's pretty much how it went, and here I am over a decade later and still watching it.

My first was card captors and sailor moon but I thought it was just a cartoon show so I usually consider Fruits Basket my first because I knew it was an anime. xD

Ah, that's cool. Fruits Basket was a really good anime.

Did someone recommend it to you or did you just decide to watch it?

my First anime was Kodocha and Dark made me start to watch it....it was very weird cause he just burst into my room screaming "Momo i have something you've gotta watch!".....i was like "oookkkk? o.o"

Yeah I can imagine that must have been weird. Were you hooked after the first episode?

Yes~!^^ then i met Kat in 7th grade and we became best friends cause we both liked Kodocha^^ and now i've watched a lot more anime~!

That's cool.

Zoids? Wow that is an older anime. I remember watching that one years ago.

^^ me and Kat are like sisters~

That's wonderful. It's great to have good friends.

Yup but the cool part is we've only known each other for 4 years and it's like we've known each other for 10 or more years! thats how close we are^^

That's awesome.
You only meet a few people like that in your lifetime it seems.

I used to have a friend like that but I changed my religious beliefs and it affected our friendship somewhat. We're still friends but its not the same as before.

well the best part is we've never fought onot even once! we messed around and prtended to fight but nothing for real^^

That's good to hear.
