First anime?

**GK Punk** · 04-20-2003, 06:30 PM

So I know alot of us here are into anime, what I am wondering is when and what where your first anime, and or mangas?

My first anime I saw was (more than one here actually) Vampire Hunter D, Akira, Urusei<sp> Yatsura

Oh yeah I forgot age, and it was my question :\
It was aroun 1990-91 and I was about 10 or 11...

as for manga, the first I read was Ranma 1/2 (I started in the second series, during the Ice skating)

ChibiKasai · 04-20-2003, 06:38 PM

My first anime was Sailor Moon, way back when I was about 10.
My first non-kiddy anime was Fatal Fury.

First manga? Mermaid's Forest, followed closely by Inu-Yasha. That was when I was 13.

*Kid Icarus* · 04-20-2003, 06:43 PM

Lets see... the VERY first I saw was Battle of the Planets. Cartoon Network played it back way before toonami... i think it was around 96 or so. Then it was Speed Racer and Voltron.

My first Manga series i actually got in to was Ayashi no Ceres by Yu Watase.

Mermaid's forest ROCKS! I still have most of those comics laying around in abox from when I moved...

WOW sailor moon at 10?? I think I was 12 when I first got in to sailor moon, but I might have been 13... I can't remember for sure now... I still have a nostalgic connection to that silly series! *looks at piles of fan subs

Sorry for the Double post, when Cartoon Network aired it, they renamed it G-Force... I actually liked their version better but that's just me

You ever go to Anime Expo? in 2000 they premiered ayashi no ceres with Yu Watase, that was really cool to (basically) watch it with the creator... even though she didn't speak english and was sitting far away from us

NEW QUESTION TO ADD! you ever go to a con?

Well, I was 10 when they first started running it in syndication. Ahh...Those were the days- coming home from a hard day of 5th grade, and watching Sailor Moon and Mutant League. Wish my life was still like that sometimes.

*Nickokapo* · 04-20-2003, 06:52 PM

First anime...damn...i cant remember the exact first anime i saw, but i think my first ones were bishoujo senshi sailor moon, saint seiya and dragonball z...That was probably around '95-96, when i was 8 or 9 years old...i've been a fan of it ever since.

**GK Punk** · 04-20-2003, 06:52 PM

OH! I see what you are saying! I just love Anime geeking out every so often so I keep the conversation alive

I think when it was in syndication I was about 15 (before that I just saw fan subs.. and only like 20 episodes) I was in high school, but I had to wake up at like 5:30 AM every morning to see it, because FOX was to stupid to air it at a good time

*That Matt Guy* · 04-20-2003, 07:23 PM

Mine was Speed Racer. And I've hated all anime ever since.

*Nickokapo* · 04-20-2003, 07:26 PM

Hmmmm...i think i've seen that before db/sm/ss i think, but didnt considered it anime because it was all americanized...plus i hated the animation.

MzTheInsomniac · 04-20-2003, 07:26 PM

^^ well said^^

EDIT: that was at matthews comment

*kyabetsu* · 04-20-2003, 07:28 PM

my first anime was Vampire Hunter D... i caught it on the sci-fi channel LATE at night during a sleepover. we were just like... WOW!!!

but i didn' know it was a TYPE of movie... i just thought it was like "Wizards" or "The Point" ... this random cool animated thing.

so years passed before i saw anything else...
then it was AKIRA
and i died of joy. i'm still dead. i'm a pretty good typist for a dead woman, but i'm happy living this way.

so yeah... after that i checked out "Dominion Tank Police" but was neither impressed nor deterred. "Ghost in the Shell" renewed my spirits and i've been an anime junkie since then...

mind you... i can't always afford to fuel my habit.
but yeah.
Ranma 1/2 was my first manga... *sigh* i love Ryoga. He's a stupid, sappy, stubborn, directionless twit.... but he's SO SWEET... except when he's trying to beat Ranma to a pulp or posing as a pet pig just to get some Akane eye-candy... but he's SO CUTE AS P-CHAN!!!

and he's soooo lost...
*loves Ryoga even though there a 50 billion reasons why somebody oughta smack that character and explain some stuff to him....*

as for a con?
*sniffle*
I MISSED ONE THIS WEEKEND!!
health stuff got in the way and i couldn't go.
there was even a "Voice Actor" competition!
i wanted to try out! i had my audition piece and everything....

*weeps.*
it would have been my first anime con too...

*gets over it.*
there'll be others.
there always are.
*sigh*
*pines silently for another anime con.*

*Nickokapo* · 04-20-2003, 07:34 PM

Ohhh yah i forgot to answer those too!
Well my first manga...not including dojinshi i think it was either dragonball z or the legend of lemnear, i never got into manga that much.
And i've never been to a con.

Nyx · 04-20-2003, 08:04 PM

I'd watched anime before, but it was an airing of Vampire Hunter D on Cartoon Network's Saturday Anime that they had all those years ago that got me hooked on the genre.

Yay! Ryoga fans unite! I still have a little clay P-Chan that I made in 8th grade...he is cuteness defined.
