Everyone has there own story about how they got started on anime or on manga. So, here is mine.

Basicly, I got started on gundam wing. that somthing I wont forget for a long time. Soon after that, I started watching pokemon and went from there.

It was either Sailor Moon, or Samurai Pizza Cats.

I'm realy leaning towards Sailor Moon because I remember seing that alot more. The funy thing was is that I don't think I admitted that until about three or four years ago

. Soon after those I watched anime like Cyber 6 on Teletoon.

No, that was one of your small mistakes, we'll wait for the next big one.

*yells*
Apparently I'm a late bloomer. I went home from college for two weeks on winter break, and my brother showed me Tenchi Universe VHS tapes he'd borrowed from a friend of his ex-girlfriend. When he told me over the phone before I came home that he was going to show me anime, I laughed at him. Then I got really solidly hooked on Tenchi Muyo about three episodes into the series. I still have fond memories of watching Tenchi In Tokyo on VCDs on my brother's computer, sitting on the carpet in an unheated addition of the house.

Before I left for school again I watched TU again, in two nights. I think the thing about it that impressed me most, other than the really spectacular visuals of sakura that bookend the Universe series, was the fact that the show actually started somewhere and ended somewhere else. It allowed the emotional stakes to get much higher, I think. It reminded me of another show I had liked when I was much younger called "Noozles," about two magic koalas who live with a young girl for a while. Amusingly, the Japanese name of that cartoon was "Fushigi na Koala Binky." So of course it turns out my first anime was some terrifyingly obscure kids show, and now I don't have much of a story to tell the kids. :p

I still want to see some subtitled Noozles.

Well I thought Pokemon was the first anime I saw *everybody groans

* But that wasn't what got me started. Pokemon hardly made me want to find out more :/ If you really want to know I was talking to someone about 'slash' and they recommended 'shounen-ai anime' to me...thus I became interested in anime

(but now my top 5 don't even include shounen-ai titles *shrug*)

greenjinjo in the thread on this same topic that was around a few days ago wrote:Tenchi Muyo or Sailor Moon.

Wait, technically I guess it was Speed Racer.

First anime I saw in a theater was Spirited Away.

Sailor Moon. I remember getting up at six o'clock on a Saturday morning to watch it-I was a dedicated moonie. I took a break on anime for a while and then played Final Fantasy X, which lead to dot Hack the game, then to the anime, and now I'm addicted again.
