Technically my first anime was dbz
I watched it when I was 8
My cousin introduced me to it
It was so imaginative back then and it started my obsession with fighting related shows and action figures
Around that time i also watched pokemon and beyblade
However I watched all these without knowing they were anime
My first true anime was clannad
Then after that I watched attack on titan at my Korean friend's coaxing
After that I was hooked to anime

That was my humble beginning.....got serious in class 9 though hehe

I remember watching Pokemon when I was five. It was being broadcast on some Arabic channel when I was back in Dubai. Then, there was the Toonami segment on Cartoon Network which had DBZ, Pokemon, Digimon and the like. Finally, there was Animax. Sigh! Those were the days.

Technically, my first anime were the ones that used to come on cartoon network and nick on TV. Like pokemon, digimon, shin-chan, kochikame, kiteretsu etc. etc. in hindi lol.

But the first anime I 'properly' watched was Death Note bc my friend had mentioned it. Plus it was a month before my 8th grade final exams, and I needed any excuse to not study so I decided "Why not?". This is probably the one time procrastination worked out for me bc Death Note was my gateway into anime/manga lol

If kids anime count, then my first anime would be Pokemon and Digimon.
But I became a real otaku when I started watching Zetman (I bet nobody knows this anime). Instantly fell in love and from there on, I have watched loads!! :D

I was around 6-7 and used to watch Cinderella on Sahara. It was fun, but I had no idea what the word anime was till around 5 years back when I started reading and watching One Piece (which I had already somewhat seen on toonami).

I found out about it on my own, but a friend gave me the 500 or so chapters of OP he had downloaded. It was fun. Felt like I was ripping my eyeballs out.

Yup. It became when Ussop's lies came true.
I'm still waiting for when he'll become an actual warior though. His lies still annoy me.

In a way, but he's still weak compared to others (except for Nami). I'd say he's on pre-TS monster trio level. At most. Obviously, if he became super strong
the M-3 would lose their badassness. I'm just hoping for him to become a world famous sniper. As Ussop. Not Sogeking.

The first one that I watched (Aside from dbz and pokemon that aired on CN) was SAO. About 2 years back I went to a gaming cafe and when I was about to leave the owner was watching it so I asked it the name of that anime then went home and downloaded it. After SAO I started watching deathnote and elfen lied.

Basically my first Anime was Pokemon and DBZ.. Not sure which was the first one. I wasn't even aware that they were called Anime in general at that age..
A year ago, I was in Korea for some reasons..
I was bored in my room, so I was browsing through some random stuff on the internet. Not sure about the exact moment, but somehow I came across a name "Death Note".. I researched the name a bit and came to know that it is one of the well known popular anime.. I downloaded it quickly and started watching.. Guess what..? I was already hooked before even 3rd episode started.. And then I started downloading all the popular anime at first, and then started watching dubbed anime on youtube.. Well, thats pretty much it and rest is history now..

Exactly after 1 year, I am back in Korea now, this time, I found MAL.. And I am hooked again.. :D :D I almost watch anime whole day.. any time.. every time..
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

Anybody else who had Animax on cable?
Technically the first anime that i watched completely was Terra e, it was airing every day at around noon and i would watch it. Well i was bored to hell because almost every single program on Cartoon Network was dubbed in Hindi and i suck at Hindi.

Apart from that i used to watch Pokemon, even had all the GBA games and cards (first generation).

Come to think of it i used to also watch Black Jack and Gunslinger Girl when i first started out at the age of what... i guess around 9-11.

I disliked watching Naruto, One Piece and Bleach because they neutered it so much on Carton Network.So i stuck to Animax.

Nagatsuki Tappei (ReZero): It goes without saying that "Mushoku Tensei" is interesting, but first of all, it's amazing that you were able to depict the life of one character, Rudy. People say that "CLANNAD" is life, but for me, "Mushoku Tensei" is life

pokemon/dragonball z - it used to air on cartoon network. I did not know what 'anime' was at that time though. My first proper anime was death note when I was in the 12th grade. There was this girl who was crazy about it and gave me the TV show.

Watched DBZ when I was around 9 years old, didn't watch it knowing that It was anime.

First anime I watched was One Piece with my buddies at school. And then got persuaded into watching DxD(forced).
