What was your first anime show or film?

For me? The first anime related thing I saw as a kid was Spirited Away on VHS, I was awestruck from the animation and quality of the film.

For shows it would've been the usual Pokemon and DBZ. As I grew older I suppose my first proper anime show was watching streams of Neon Genesis Evangelion due to people talking about it at school.

So what about you? What did you see first?

It's kind of fuzzy, but I think my first anime was Excel Saga. It was as bizzarre as it was hilarious.

Silver Fang, and from that you can identify my age and country.

I think it was Bleach on adult swim at night as a kid after all the other stuff like robot chicken and aqua teen hunger force ended. Could also be DBZ though

Probably this one, not that I associated it with anime at the time.

YuYu Hakusho.

I first saw Saint Seiya in Mexico in the early 90s. Being a young kid I didn't know it was anime at the time but remembered it being special compared to cartoons of the day.

Kiki's Delivery Service. I got it on VHS, probably for Christmas the year the Disney dub came out. I didn't have cable for a decent chunk of my childhood, so I saw that even before Pokemon.

Has to be Pokemon for me, I used to like it for a year or two then got bored. Then I got hooked on Dragon Ball Z, which I still love.

I think I saw the Pokemon movie before Spirited Away though

TV: Battle of the Planets, way back in the late 70’s

Film I’m really unsure. Would’ve been late 80’s or early 90’s. Could’ve been any of: Warriors of the Wind (localized title of Nausicaä), Castle of Cagliostro, Akira, Project A-Ko, or Vampire Hunter D
