which was the first anime that you saw???

[Angel~]

You give me an idea...
I should too!!! It already reread it twice, but I think a third time won't hurt 

[`Roze`]

Nope! Rereading mangas you haven't read in awhile is fun! Same goes for books. 

[Angel~]

Yes!That is so true!! I read some of my favourite books so many times! 
They keep being great, no matter how many times you read them 

[`Roze`]

Exactly! I have to agree with you there. :D

[Angel~]

Although I read harry potter too many times.... I know all the stories by heart now...
I'm sad... I can't read them no more because I know what will happen on every page! 

[Tear]

*adds her $.02* The first anime I can remember watching, like a typical Latin American, is Sailor Moon.

I always watched it at my cousin's house when we were little(ish). However, I had no clue that it was actually a Japanese anime and not a Mexican or Spanish cartoon until I was in High School when my friend showed me the giant poster in her room going "that's anime!" To my clueless, "No, that's a Mexican cartoon, and those two aren't cousins!" After that came much squealing (and wincing on my end) and a bombardment of questions as to how I got the "un-edited" versions.

From there it wasn't until college that I first saw, and yes, adored, Yu-Gi-Oh! (Go on, laugh it up. Just know that in the end it's going to be me flying off into the sunset in a helicopter with Seto Kaiba to live richly happily ever after.) 

The first anime I saw subbed instead of dubbed, however, was Gravitation.  Then Rurouni Kenshin, SDK, Inuyasha... I was pretty much doomed after RK. I mean, sexy man with a sword that does laundry? Mmmm~    Manga came later... sometime... and suddenly I had three bookshelves full of manga and a Japanese 101 book in my backpack.

Ahh.... to be young(er) again... <3

[Renny]

wow that some history oh anime/manga!!  I had a good smile at your expense sorry

[Angel~]

Lovely history

I will be watching the ones that I haven't seen yet ^0^

[putochan]

  Sailormoon and Dragon Ball. Oh I miss those days.

[`Roze`]

You know. Lots of people I know have said that their first anime was Sailor Moon and that it was an exactly good show.

I still have yet to watch it. 

[Tear]

I really enjoyed Sailor Moon, but I think the fandom started to turn me off after I got older and started to see just how over the top people went. Still, I'd recommend it. <3

[happyblackcat]

First animu i saw was Rozen Maiden. Because desu desu desu desu desu desu all over 4ch.

[Harrstein]

pfff dunno exactly but I think pawkemawns or deebeezee

first one I really watched and downloaded was naturo -_-'

*Harrstein's inner hipster cries*

[HuaXinRen]

Star Blazers was the very first one I ever watched but then I was too young to know it was considered anime. I just loved animation and cartoons.

My affair will anime and manga really only started when I watched Hana Yori Dango.

[AstridSaiga]

Mine was actually DragonBallZ... A little 7 year old me watched it with my parents occasionally... I still remember the episode with Boo.  The show made quite an impression on me. ^_^

But It wasn't till much later that I found out what anime was and started reading Naruto... (Inner hipster starts crying with Harrstein's)

[Nonii]

mine was doraemon or pokemon, i think. In spanish U_U the first one I watched conciously was One Piece followed by  bleach, death note ( and yes, that was the start of my addiction hehehe)

[Lampi]

My first anime was probably pokemon (I'm still stuck with a pokemon nickname, because my last name sounds a bit similar to Lampi, which is the German version of Chinchou... could have been worse XD)
And the games are great, I still play them^^
The first anime I saw with subs and noticed as Japanese was Gravitation 

[Angel~]

Seems like pokemon was the most popular when we were kiddies~! 

[Lampi]

Here in Germany it definitely was...
Everyone was watching it  when I was younger^^

[Angel~]

Seems like Germany and The. Netherlands were quite similar in that respect!

Picachuuuu~~~<3

[`Roze`]

Pokemon is quite popular here too. I know my sisters use to watch it all the time. I think I watched it once or twice but never really got into it. I guess I thought it was more of a cartoon then an anime.    Same with InuYasha but that's because I was young and didn't even really know what anime/manga was. ^-^

But you see pokemon stuff all over in the stores ;3

[rachkelly]

GOD, my first anime had to be Evangelion. What a horrible way to start my anime life, in a very violent and traumatic way. still one of the very best...

Then i just saw a couple of times some Sabe J, Saber J to X, Nightwalker <3, Sailor moon, etc etc

My first shoujo was Marmalade boy, and GOD i loved it so much!! I videotaped it!

[TonyTheFish]

Mine was Kiki's Delivery Service. You gotta love Studio Ghibli.

[Tahura]

My first was OURAN XD

Yeah, I was kind of traumatized throughout the first few episodes (my friend kept dragging me to anime club at school), but I got used to it

[Angel~]

You survived that?! I tried and just couldn't finish, it seriously traumatised me... Too over the top... 

[Zephyr of the Mist]

  The manga is cute?

[Angel~]

The manga is cute?

The manga is cute, but the anime is just TOO much... 

[FallenOne87]

I think Sailor Moon was my first anime too. I begged my Mom for the Halloween costume lol
After that I think it was the Ninja Scroll movie, which I now own because it's pure awesome! 

[tinnako]

When I was a tiiiny kid, Moomins, but I didn't know it was anime. I first remember seeing something like Pokemon or Sailor Moon on TV. Fruits basket was the first series I bought as a manga and actually chose to watch, so that's special for me :)

[Angel~]

The first series I ever bought and am still collecting is Black Cat. The anime of Black Cat is fairly different from the manga, but somehow it isn't that bad, you can imagine that plot turn being possible as well.

[Blobsndrees]

For me it was doraemon, children's anime was already pretty popular all over the oriental parts of asia back int he 1990s. Man I feel old now.

[Angel~]

Wow..... You should feel old blobby...

[Blobsndrees]

you're older than me >:D I'm 20, you're 21

[Angel~]

Too bad, you can't read profiles I guess... I just turned 17 the 5th.

[Blobsndrees]

eh? huh? what? eh? wha- I swear it was 21.... uuu maybe I saw the wrong profile... oh wait it was Jess's profile that was 21

[Angel~]

Sucker.

[Blobsndrees]

that's not nice :( apologise to all the over 17s in the world

[Angel~]

Why should I?

[Blobsndrees]

because you said we all suck

[Angel~]

No, just you, since you couldn't even remember something this simple.

[Blobsndrees]

  Waah

[Angel~]

Told you you sucked. 

[Blobsndrees]

 :donwan:iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Angel~]

 

[Aurelia]

Probably Sailor Moon when I was three... I remember getting in a fight with my cousin over who got to be sailor moon when we played... XD

[Angel~]

[Blobsndrees]

Cu...te is a word I don't use often but... wow

[Angel~]

Awww Liapoo, you got blobby to say cute!!! 

[Blobsndrees]

The number of people who could see that and not think it was cute can probably be counted on one hand 

[Angel~]

There are none. Right?

[Blobsndrees]

there are none 

[Angel~]

Good 

[Aurelia]

 LOL well it wasn't cute... not for my parents who had to break us up, anyway... 

And lol you two... Someone brought blob to submission!

[Angel~]

hehehe, parents have that job...

Yes, the great Angel rules blobbity with fear... 

[Blobsndrees]

Well there's only so much a blob can do, it's a limit of species...

[Angel~]

Whereas the angel can do anything, superior species.

[Aurelia]

  Wow, both of you are on the same page!

[Angel~]

 

[Blobsndrees]

Angel takes 200,000 dmg from Lia, Critical hit! It's super effective!

[Angel~]

[Jess]

[Blobsndrees]

yay dragon ball z, kamehameha~~ I remember having a fight with one of my friends when I was in year 3 and I was  like kamehameha~~ and then he said, noo spirit ball is stronger!!

[Pau]

t'was a day when i was bored in the house.

desperate too do something, i decided to watch TV which i rarely do (b4 knowing about anime)

then, as i turned on, sakura blossoms fell when i had encountered it... 

full metal alchemist. the very first that CHANGED MY WORLD   

[Angel~]

FMA~~~~~

[Aurelia]

I need to watch FMA...  Everyone keeps trying to force me into it, but I can never find the time!

[Pau]

I never managed to watch the ending of it O__O

[Jess]

I have never heard of this I will have to look it up

[Pau]

it's pretty interesting. you should watch it 

[Jess]

Okay I will have to do that

[Angel~]

Yesssssss, watch it.....

[Aurelia]

 

[Jess]

Im working on it I have watched 3 episodes

[Pau]

oohhhhh~ so how was it? 

[Jess]

It is really good Im so going to watch some more episodes! 

[Pau]

 

[Jess]

:) 

[Vauxhall]

I think I've mentioned it several times already. But by Odin, do I love Naruto.
As stated before, it was my first love in the world of anime and I still enjoy it 'til now. I think it'd leave a massive whole in my chest when it finally finishes but I think the end is long overdue. (It's been almost six years since I first watched it.)

[Aurelia]

Is the anime loyal to the manga? Or is it somewhat different?

[Soraiiya]

the anime follows the manga (at the moment, as far as i can tell since i stopped watching it) pretty accurately. AT THE MOMENT. it has diverged a LOT in the past; the last 100 or so episodes of naruto (original naruto, not shippuden) were filler, which was really annoying. actually, a lot of episodes in naruto were filler...

there were some fillers in shippuden as well, but up til i dropped it (lol i forgot when i stopped watching) it stuck to the manga pretty well.

actually, naruto was my first anime too! i started watching it in 5th grade LOLOL hard to believe i'm in college now and i still follow it xD i remember coming home from school every day and watching it on my friend's computer, haha. good times :p i caught up in about two months which i was quite proud of... (80-90 some episodes i think)

[Vauxhall]

The anime is pretty loyal to the manga. Not a lot changes in the main plot save for the amount of violence shown, lol. There are plenty of fillers all throughout Naruto and Shippuden though - I think there's a 24 filler arc whenever the anime got close to catching up with the manga? (Which I think explains the last 100 or so episodes of Naruto.)

But woo, Sora. Huzzah for catching up. :D It took me a month and I think I suffered a little for catching up too fast. Waiting for one episode a week was painful... I'd have vents to my mate every week about one episode, LOL.

[Soraiiya]

LOL, catching up too fast? dude i caught up with one piece (all 500-some episodes at the time) in a month. it was crazy. i literally just came home from school and sat down at my computer and watched one piece (it was senior year, i wasn't doing anything...). THAT was catching up fast.

[Pau]

i've never really tried to catch up with any anime before (since i would frequently forget what episode i ended )

[Soraiiya]

that's why you use myanimelist hehehehe 

[Pau]

uh... idk know how to use it...(except searching for anime  )

[Vauxhall]

Pau, create an account? xD Start searching for anime/manga then add them to your list?
It's that easy. I love myanimelist 'cause it's so simple to use, haha. *nods*

And Ange, that's crazy. You're crazy. x-x

[Aurelia]

LOL I just have this one piece of paper at my computer, with all these numbers of episodes crossed out as I write new numbers to replace them... They're all over the place!

[Angel~]

And Ange, that's crazy. You're crazy. x-x

Thank you 

[Pau]

LOL I just have this one piece of paper at my computer, with all these numbers of episodes crossed out as I write new numbers to replace them... They're all over the place!

yup, i did that too 

[Aurelia]

*hi-fives paupau*

[Angel~]

I gave up on anime 

[Aurelia]

I don't blame you, it eats away my little amount of time ^^;; so I just read manga.

Maybe in the summer... *w*

[Angel~]

Me too,manga all the way!

[Aurelia]

*sigh* It would be anime, otherwise xD

[Angel~]

I don't know, I like both... 

[Pau]

wel it's mostly manga, but I seldom watch anime too.

[Angel~]

I think all of us are more into manga than anime in general

[Jess]

agreed :)

[Pau]

pretty much :/

[Angel~]

Otherwise we wouldn't be here, we would be at an animeteam

[Jess]

true so true :)
