The very first anime I ever watched was... I wanna say Sonic the Hedgehog, which was when I was, like, in 1st grade-ish. After that was Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z. 8D
AFTER THAT, Pokemon started to air~ xD
My brother was the supplier of anime for me back in the day, since he was older and chose all the cool looking gore-y actiony fighting MECHA ones (ie. Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is one of my favorites). I guess that affected my taste, because I'm currently infatuated with Eureka 7 and Kuro no Keiyakusha (Darker than Black)~.

... but I guess I've grown away from that, too, because I love Studio Ghibli work to the point of obsession, and my brother's a meanie who won't even give Miyazaki a try. D:

Though, ever since my friend introduced me to manga in 8th grade, I've been reading more than I've been watching. ^^;
But I still very muchly love anime. =]

i can't remember the very first anime that i watched, but it could be one of these: BT'X, Zenki, Flame of Recca, Dragon Ball, YuYu Hakusho. right now, i am currently watching Naruto. I've finished Yakitate Japan, GateKeepers, Magic Knight Rayearth. well i've watched others, i just can't remember the some of the titles, and some i haven't really watched all the episodes. my classmates and friends recommend Bleach (although i am so-so about it), Death Note (which i'll be downloading when i get a new hard drive, i've already read the manga).

Here, in our country, we are bombarded by a lot of animè series ever since the animè revolution began here. So, in the end, there is no shortage of animè to watch, that I even get quite tired of some just after a few episodes. And we don't even have cable TV! I've never been really fond of any specific animè series 'coz, at one point or another, I easily tire of them.

I do, however, think some animè series are, like, terrible. No offense, guys, but it is my opinion that DBZ's story and animation suck. I mean, c'mon, is it everyone's signature desperation move to launch a barrage of flashy smoke bombs at the enemy? 'coz every time they do that, the enemy escapes unscathed, then it takes just one well placed shot from a deus ex machina to finish him off. Again, that was just my opinion.

I also used to like Sailor Moon but I am terribly disappointed that every finishing move was by Sailor Moon. It was sooo boring that when, finally, an episode came up where Sailor Jupiter "killed" (or purged or saved or cleansed) the enemy all by herself, without the aid of Sailor Moon, me and my sibs all stood up and clapped our hands and went "Whoooh!"

Right now, I'm watching Naruto Shippuden and Bleach.

Bleach has been Tagalized here, that is, dubbed into our local language and it pretty much sucks so we opted to watch the subbed versions instead

What other animè? Hmmn, lessee, yeah, I did watch Pokèmon and Digimon. Actually, there was an issue back then 'coz Pokèmon aired months before Digimon. When Digimon was aired by a rival network, narrow-minded kids said, "Augh, I don't like Digimon, it's a rip-off of Pokèmon," simply because 1) it also ended in -mon, 2) it was by a rival network and 3) it also featured "pet" monsters.

Hah! If they only knew what they missed! I luuurved the Digimon soundtrack (Digital Monsters and 02) and combat much more than Pokèmon's gay battles. By that, I meant Digimon combat is much more adrenaline-pumping that Pokèmon's lame attempt at action

I have never been in anime, or anything remotely similar to anime! I wsas never even into Dragonball z or pokemon. I know its wrong to judge people for what they like, but i dont get how people can get so into it that they get basically obsessed and freaky about it. They let it consume it, its not even that interesting, from what i have seen/read. Its a very nerdy/geeky/bizarre thing to let take control of your life. And i really hate seeing little white 13 year old bi girls/boys obsessing over it - it isn't something to be proud of.
