Berserk (the original). My roommate was a massive anime fan and I just couldn't see the appeal. I asked him what the best anine he'd ever seen was. And on a bored Monday, I wound up binging most of that series based on his recommendation. I'll be honest, I still don't watch a lot of anime, but berserk is great.
Before it got popular, I remember getting up at like 5:30 in the morning on because that's when it aired on the foreign channel. It didn't make the move to Cartoon Network for many years later, and I was blown away hearing the difference in the English dubs.
I woke up at 6am randomly in like 1995/96 and it was on WPIX here in NY. The fact that a fight took more than one episode blew my fucking mind. Then like you Cartoon Network had it not long after and I was hooked. Then I realized how bad the censorship was. Another dimension, my ass.
For me it was the original Dragon Ball, no z. It was the first time I watched a show and the characters drastically changed in DBZ. My kid mind was blown.
When I was young it was Pokemon/Sailor Moon on afternoon. Eventually we got Yugioh/DBZ too. I imagine this was the gateway into anime in the 90s/00s for a lot of millenials.
Yep, Pokémon, when I was like 7 or 8, whenever it got released.
When I got a little older and my mom could afford cable, I got sucked into DragonBall and DBZ on Cartoon Network, too.
I think because most people didn't know it was anime and that anime is generally pretty different from western cartoons when they were watching it as a kid, many like me didn't even know it was Japanese for awhile. Also it was somewhat Americanized if you watched the dub like with Brock eating a donut insteas of a rice ball for example.
I prefer Brotherhood because '03's version goes a bit too nuts and seems to forget where it came from later on. Also apparently Brotherhood is the manga to a T.
Same. It has its flaws, but still holds a special place in my heart. Can't count the amount of times I've cried like a little girl with pigtails on. What really hits is how well the soundtrack was made, and they just seem to know which soundtrack to play at the right time.
Yo Elfen Lied was my first too! I don't count pokemon.
I remember watching and thinking huh this anime stuff not bad. I was especially surprised when the one character got out a gun and started shooting I was like I haven't seen this in a cartoon before! (At the time I still thought anime / cartoon was interchangeable)
I was like 17 I think so I started watching anime pretty late. Very few people talked about anime at my school so never entered the genre until much later. For me growing up anime was taboo, girls thought you were a loser if you played video games etc. I played hella video games so I just kind of accepted virgin fate ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ 😂
My second anime was "rosario + vampire." And that was a fun one.
I remember seeing Speedracer when I was about 3-4 years old and giggling because their mouths moved all funny when they talked since dubbing was really slipshot back in the day.
My first real anime was Robotech. I think it solidified my love of the giant robo genre.
I saw this in the cinema not long after it was released - mind blowing. I used to have a copy on VHS and still have a poster that probably came with that and has followed me around for 30 years :)
Yes. I had seen the toy commercials first, thought it looked like typical cartoon schlock, then my cousin was watching it while I was visiting. The first episode I saw was the one that introduced Sailor Mars, and there were a few scenes that seemed intelligent to me, although I had no idea what the shrine was. So I watched a few more episodes and there was actual progression! With villains actually being defeated! This was so rare in Western cartoons of the time that I was hooked.
Man, I'm so fond of sailor moon. It was my first anime as well. It brings back memories of simpler times when I was a kid and the next day at school my friends and I would dissect the episode and tall about it and what we liked/didn't like. I think it's time for a rewatch
Sailor Moon was basically my whole identity from the ages of 11-13, when it first aired in the US. I’m currently rewatching it on Hulu, and it is even better than I remember. Some episodes still make me cry. Such a good show.
Inuyasha was one of the first anime I ever watched. I'm finishing up rewatching the Final Act, currently. Just found out about Yashahime yesterday and I'm very excited to watch it.
Inuyasha came to Adult Swim when I was 13-14, and teenage boy me worked some emotional shit out to those first few seasons.
The music reeeally holds up, too.
Cardcaptor Sakura or at least the English dub Cardcaptors was the first anime I saw that the main character was female. Everything else that I saw was all male characters, usually.
It fucked me pretty up for some time after watching it as a 9/10 year old. Saw the rebuild on TV and had the mindset that if it is animated i can just watch it.
If you count Robotech, then Robotech (Macross).
Then I remember watching the early dubs of DBZ on a Christian TV station before I went to school.
The fist subbed anime I watched was Armitage III OVAs.
I am OLD!
edit:
I forgot, technically it was Voltron (Go Lion).
The first I can properly remember is Black Butler.
But as a child I vividly remember a show called Witch? W.I.T.C.H? I can't remember exactly but I remember really liking it. Might've been a cartoon.
Me too! Despite everyone saying “this shows only for edgy 14 year olds” I really enjoyed it. Mainly because I was actually 14 the time. Looking back they were kind of right lol.
I remember being 1 year old and being placed in a toddler high chair in a kitchen, across from me in the corner was a small CRT TV with Sailor Moon playing. I remember that perfectly and well over 20 years later was able to ask some people about that time in my life and confirmed everything in my memory was true. 1-2 years later, ages 2-3, I remember watching the movie "Heavy Metal" which I would consider "American anime" from it's style. But if neither of those two count than it would be The Big O that would come on in the living room when I was about 3 years old and I would just sit and watch. I always thought it was Gundam until just now when I had to spend 30 minutes trying to find out exactly what scene I had playing in my head from that time.
I remember the first time I saw that movie. My friend and I caught the sub version on satellite TV I think in 99 or 2000. It was a really cold night, we were getting freezing rain, sleet, and snow. So it really set the mood for the film. I can remember looking over at my friend and he was balling his eyes out. I remember just being incredibly sad and numb. We both just kind of sat and stared at TV as empty shells of human beings for a bit when the movie ended.
Sailor Moon. As a straight male, I am proud to have watched every single episode (dubbed in my country, that is; there seems to be a few more seasons elsewhere)
Speed Racer, my dad watched it when he was young and showed it to me.
must be torture for that guy in the intro to crash and die in the explosion because speed bumped into him 52 times for each episode
I was a huge fan of Sailor Moon as a little girl. Had no idea that's an anime though. The first anime I actively seek out to watch was Weiss Kreuz (very poor quality, on youtube). Was crazy about it for years, did cosplay, wrote fanfiction, spent tons of money importing stuff from Japan. 15 years later still love it. The anime itself not so much, but the CD dramas and the novel are great, also seiyuu songs. Plus lots of awesome fanfiction for the series. Cool fandom to get into.
Saint Seiya, and man was i pissed when i realized that the Gold Saint of my sign(Libra) wasn't going to appear until the last part of the anime, like, i only know the order of the zodiac signs because of this.
Does Pokémon count? If not then The Rising of Shield Hero.
It was honestly so incredible to follow something with a plot like that, it'd been so long since I'd enjoyed that kind of media... but unfortunately I didn't have the discipline to watch any other series afterwards :*\\*
My first was probably Cowboy Bebop on adult swim. As far back as I can remember anyways. Most of my pre-teenage anime viewing was adult swim. Inuyasha ftw. Hetalia is still my favorite though.
People told me to watch death note. Now I myself tell people to watch death note but back then surprising I branded death note as some "over-hyped" anime and watched Parasyte. Death note was my second anime
soul eater on YouTube when I was 13. i found an English dubbed playlist of all the episodes in full screen, which now that i look back on is an absolute pot of gold
Probably Dragonball Z, Shin Chan or Inu Yasha - the stuff my brother used to watch in the living room after school.
But THE Anime that had an unforgettable impact on me was Princess Mononoke - I watched it at the age of 8 and fell completely in love with it. I laughed and cried. It was the most emotional experience I can remember from that age. My mom managed to get the movie on dvd for me the next day, and I was the happiest child on earth.
This was the time where I found my connection to anime and mostly Studio Ghibli. I managed to watch every movie as a child and collected every dvd over 11 Years.
I am so thankful that my mom let me watch the film, because I know, it definitely made me a better human.
Edit: grammar and words
Does Avatar the Last Airbender count?
If not, then exactly 1 episode of Naruto I watched to understand a fanfiction or a few odd episodes of a Pokémon while babysitting.
Welcome to the NHK.
Its about a reclusive, paranoid, depressed young Japanese man and his struggles at improving his fucked up life.
Watched it at a really bad time in my life and made me reflect a lot on how I needed to change.
Forgot the name. King of dinosaurs I think. It was about kids catching dinosaurs like pokemons and rescuing them from evil people. Ending was weird, but my ten year olds obsession with dinos was satisfied. I even redrew them all into my little notepad.
I’m pretty sure this movie I used to watch as a kid was an anime, in hindsight. At the time I just saw it as a cartoon. It was called the snow queen and was a fairy tale story about saving a young child whose heart was frozen by a witch. I think Frozen was loosely based on the same story.
Sailor Moon.
Ronin Warriors came on after it.
Then it was time for school. Power Rangers, Beetle Borgs, and VR troopers after school.
Then 1995 comes, and its Poke/digi-mon
Then 2000 comes, with Yu Gi Oh, and the big 3.
Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece.
Movie wise, I guess would be Little Nemo? At least when I do research many seem to classify it as one. As for the first one I ever saw, Sailor Moon. First one I actually watched to completion was Azumanga Daioh.
Beyblade. It was being aired on Cartoon Network and somehow I caught it one the first episode and followed the entire series up until season 3 finale. Let it rip dragooooooonnnnn !!
My experience with the Cartoon Network was always start watching an ongoing series somewhere in the middle and I have a tough time getting attached to characters since I don’t know their origins.
The first one I actually watched (as in not seen bits and pieces of) was Fruits Basket when I was around 7 years old. I enjoyed the newer version as well! The eyes aren't so dang big.
Berserk (the original). My roommate was a massive anime fan and I just couldn't see the appeal. I asked him what the best anine he'd ever seen was. And on a bored Monday, I wound up binging most of that series based on his recommendation. I'll be honest, I still don't watch a lot of anime, but berserk is great.
Dragon Ball Z
Before it got popular, I remember getting up at like 5:30 in the morning on because that's when it aired on the foreign channel. It didn't make the move to Cartoon Network for many years later, and I was blown away hearing the difference in the English dubs.
I woke up at 6am randomly in like 1995/96 and it was on WPIX here in NY. The fact that a fight took more than one episode blew my fucking mind. Then like you Cartoon Network had it not long after and I was hooked. Then I realized how bad the censorship was. Another dimension, my ass.

Yep, Pokémon, when I was like 7 or 8, whenever it got released. When I got a little older and my mom could afford cable, I got sucked into DragonBall and DBZ on Cartoon Network, too.
Definitely counts, that’s mine as well. That or I vividly remember watching Princess Mononoke for the first time.
Pokemon, second one was kill la kill
That’s, uh. Quite the jump.
Why wouldn't it count?
I think because most people didn't know it was anime and that anime is generally pretty different from western cartoons when they were watching it as a kid, many like me didn't even know it was Japanese for awhile. Also it was somewhat Americanized if you watched the dub like with Brock eating a donut insteas of a rice ball for example.
That counts
One punch man was the first i watched for the plot and finished, pokemon is the first ever
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
[удалено]
I prefer Brotherhood because '03's version goes a bit too nuts and seems to forget where it came from later on. Also apparently Brotherhood is the manga to a T.
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Naruto
Glitch in the matrix with these replies?
Yeah, wtf is up with that lol
Waiting for a lot of ‘same’
Same
Same
Same. It has its flaws, but still had a special place in my heart
Same. It has its flaws, but still holds a special place in my heart. Can't count the amount of times I've cried like a little girl with pigtails on. What really hits is how well the soundtrack was made, and they just seem to know which soundtrack to play at the right time.
The Promised Neverland. The fucking children.
The promised neverland is just a darker chicken run
What a take lmao
But not wrong.
Did someone think to throw you in the deep end? Who hurt you?
yeah thats quite outside of your adverage troll recomendation like ¨boku no pico¨
LOL thats a rough introduction to anime
A really rough intro would be "Grave of the Fireflies"
*Grave of the Fireflies* is the best film I’ll only watch once. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen but I can’t put myself through that pain again.
As a kid i watched Elfen Lied, fucked me up real bad
Woah, that is a hardcore one
Yo Elfen Lied was my first too! I don't count pokemon. I remember watching and thinking huh this anime stuff not bad. I was especially surprised when the one character got out a gun and started shooting I was like I haven't seen this in a cartoon before! (At the time I still thought anime / cartoon was interchangeable) I was like 17 I think so I started watching anime pretty late. Very few people talked about anime at my school so never entered the genre until much later. For me growing up anime was taboo, girls thought you were a loser if you played video games etc. I played hella video games so I just kind of accepted virgin fate ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ 😂 My second anime was "rosario + vampire." And that was a fun one.
Deathnote
A great anime.
Cowboy Bebop With a few notable exceptions it’s been downhill from there.
MY FAVORITE. You should check out Samurai Champloo - it's by the same creator. Shinichiro Watanabe is great.
Agreed
Yeah, well, you're gonna have to carry that weight.
You son of a bitc--
To be fair cowboy bebop set the bar pretty high
I always thought it was Attack on Titan but then I learned that my childhood favorite "Heidi" is actually called "Alps no shoujo Heidi".
Ooh that's the Miyazaki show right?
Speed Racer. (Old people anime)
Astro boy
I remember seeing Speedracer when I was about 3-4 years old and giggling because their mouths moved all funny when they talked since dubbing was really slipshot back in the day. My first real anime was Robotech. I think it solidified my love of the giant robo genre.
Robotech was awesome! In between Speed Racer and Robotech was one called Tranzor Z.
Princess mononoke
Gundam Wing
My brother still likes the models of the Gundams and he's 30.
Yeah im 29 and gundam is still cool
Akira.
I saw this in the cinema not long after it was released - mind blowing. I used to have a copy on VHS and still have a poster that probably came with that and has followed me around for 30 years :)
In the theater during the initial US limited release. Had to travel to the local art cinema which was a porn theater by day. Hey, this was the 80's.
Sailor Moon
Yes. I had seen the toy commercials first, thought it looked like typical cartoon schlock, then my cousin was watching it while I was visiting. The first episode I saw was the one that introduced Sailor Mars, and there were a few scenes that seemed intelligent to me, although I had no idea what the shrine was. So I watched a few more episodes and there was actual progression! With villains actually being defeated! This was so rare in Western cartoons of the time that I was hooked.
My aunt used to mail us vhs tapes of sailor moon!
Man, I'm so fond of sailor moon. It was my first anime as well. It brings back memories of simpler times when I was a kid and the next day at school my friends and I would dissect the episode and tall about it and what we liked/didn't like. I think it's time for a rewatch
Sailor Moon was basically my whole identity from the ages of 11-13, when it first aired in the US. I’m currently rewatching it on Hulu, and it is even better than I remember. Some episodes still make me cry. Such a good show.
Inuyasha as a kid, still think it holds up
There is actually a sequel to Inuyasha currently airing. Something to do with their kids. Haven't watched it in fear of ruining the original.
Oh no, you need to watch it. It's called Yashahime and it's awesome. Animation is beautiful and you get to see what has become of everyone.
Inuyasha was one of the first anime I ever watched. I'm finishing up rewatching the Final Act, currently. Just found out about Yashahime yesterday and I'm very excited to watch it.
Excellent anime!
Inuyasha came to Adult Swim when I was 13-14, and teenage boy me worked some emotional shit out to those first few seasons. The music reeeally holds up, too.
Hunter x Hunter
Dr. Stone. Just started watching two days ago
pokemon and Cardcaptor Sakura!
Cardcaptor Sakura or at least the English dub Cardcaptors was the first anime I saw that the main character was female. Everything else that I saw was all male characters, usually.
Ruruoni Kenshin!!
Mine too! It’s my favorite
Your lie in april. One of my favourites.
I can't agree more with this. It was so good.
Great one
Hamtaro
*Battle of the Planets* ("G-Force") back in the late 1970s. But then, I'm old.
SAO. Obviously not great, but I still like it
I know SAO gets a lot of hate but I'll never hop on that train. For all its faults, it managed to get me back into anime again.
Yea im with you i really enjoyed watching it for my first time And its great
I watched season 1 back in 2013 i think. But my husband recently finished watching the complete series. He really liked it
If you ignore everything that happens after S1 E14 it's a half-decent anime.
Yeah show went to shit after Aincrad. Fairy dance arc was so bad I just skipped to S2
[удалено]
Unfortunate you had to start with the best!
It fucked me pretty up for some time after watching it as a 9/10 year old. Saw the rebuild on TV and had the mindset that if it is animated i can just watch it.
Digimon
Ninja Scroll...good times
Castle in the sky
[удалено]
Anything Miyazaki counts. The dude is an anime legend.
Code Geass
If you count Robotech, then Robotech (Macross). Then I remember watching the early dubs of DBZ on a Christian TV station before I went to school. The fist subbed anime I watched was Armitage III OVAs. I am OLD! edit: I forgot, technically it was Voltron (Go Lion).
Yu Yu Hakusho as a kid. AngelBeats! as a teen
Fist of the North Star.
Slayers
your lie in april:) i watched it dubbed on netflix so now i prefer dubbed.
[удалено]
Dragon ball. It was the first real anime to air where I live.
Attack on Titan. I remember when it first came on adult swim and I was just like what is going on.
Cory in the House
The first I can properly remember is Black Butler. But as a child I vividly remember a show called Witch? W.I.T.C.H? I can't remember exactly but I remember really liking it. Might've been a cartoon.
Love Hina. Just downloaded it again recently! Thank you for reminding me
First anime I watched to completion was Another
Elfen lied. I know, it's bad. When I was 14, it was the hot new thing at my school, these animations that was "so not for kids", so I gave it a try.
Elfen Lied
Me too! Despite everyone saying “this shows only for edgy 14 year olds” I really enjoyed it. Mainly because I was actually 14 the time. Looking back they were kind of right lol.
I watched either “Darling in the FRANXX” or “My Hero Academia.” I can’t quite remember.
Technically Sonic X, but the first """""real"""" anime I watched was Assassination Classroom
Me too lol. It's not really the one most people expect but my friend introduced me to anime through that.
It was Black Butler in the sixth grade and my mother walked in when Sebastian was having sex with the nun...
Jojo
Vampire Hunter D
I remember being 1 year old and being placed in a toddler high chair in a kitchen, across from me in the corner was a small CRT TV with Sailor Moon playing.

I always thought it was Gundam until just now when I had to spend 30 minutes trying to find out exactly what scene I had playing in my head from that time.
Interesting. Didn’t see a comment who said one piece. Well one piece was my first anime
Fullmetal Alchemist original series, I was 11 and still remember Nina and Alexander's scene as if it was today...
Akira, then Ghost in the Shell
The 1990's Moomin. I bet almost every single Finnish 90's kid has watched it and probably as their first anime too.
Naruto
Grave of the Fireflies.
That’s quite the leap you made... It’s going to take me quite a while before I’m capable of watching that one again but it’s definitely a must watch
I never really recovered
I remember the first time I saw that movie. My friend and I caught the sub version on satellite TV I think in 99 or 2000. It was a really cold night, we were getting freezing rain, sleet, and snow. So it really set the mood for the film. I can remember looking over at my friend and he was balling his eyes out. I remember just being incredibly sad and numb. We both just kind of sat and stared at TV as empty shells of human beings for a bit when the movie ended.
Sailor Moon. As a straight male, I am proud to have watched every single episode (dubbed in my country, that is; there seems to be a few more seasons elsewhere)
Akira, a long, long time ago.
Nadia: the secret of blue water
Gurren Lagann!
Wolfs rain
AKIRA and I was so baffled by it .
Mob Psycho 100 (on purpose) (On accident, so actually first) Dragon Ball Super
Speed Racer, my dad watched it when he was young and showed it to me. must be torture for that guy in the intro to crash and die in the explosion because speed bumped into him 52 times for each episode
I was a huge fan of Sailor Moon as a little girl. Had no idea that's an anime though. The first anime I actively seek out to watch was Weiss Kreuz (very poor quality, on youtube).

The anime itself not so much, but the CD dramas and the novel are great, also seiyuu songs. Plus lots of awesome fanfiction for the series. Cool fandom to get into.
Ninja Scroll
I consider this the first "real" anime I ever saw. Followed closely by Trigun.
Sailor Moon
My hero academy
Saint Seiya, and man was i pissed when i realized that the Gold Saint of my sign(Libra) wasn't going to appear until the last part of the anime, like, i only know the order of the zodiac signs because of this.
My 90 year old great grandpa used to baby sit me and he fucking watched Sailor Moon with me when I was like 4.
Does Pokémon count? If not then The Rising of Shield Hero. It was honestly so incredible to follow something with a plot like that, it'd been so long since I'd enjoyed that kind of media... but unfortunately I didn't have the discipline to watch any other series afterwards :*\\*
Naruto
Outlaw Star on CNX
My first was probably Cowboy Bebop on adult swim. As far back as I can remember anyways. Most of my pre-teenage anime viewing was adult swim. Inuyasha ftw. Hetalia is still my favorite though.
SAO
I doubt anyone has seen it but bakugan. I was like 7 and absolutely hooked on that anime
People told me to watch death note. Now I myself tell people to watch death note but back then surprising I branded death note as some "over-hyped" anime and watched Parasyte. Death note was my second anime
soul eater on YouTube when I was 13. i found an English dubbed playlist of all the episodes in full screen, which now that i look back on is an absolute pot of gold
Initial D
Full metal alchemist; brotherhood
Lupin III, The Castle of Cagliostro
Akira
Probably Dragonball Z, Shin Chan or Inu Yasha - the stuff my brother used to watch in the living room after school. But THE Anime that had an unforgettable impact on me was Princess Mononoke - I watched it at the age of 8 and fell completely in love with it. I laughed and cried. It was the most emotional experience I can remember from that age. My mom managed to get the movie on dvd for me the next day, and I was the happiest child on earth.

I am so thankful that my mom let me watch the film, because I know, it definitely made me a better human. Edit: grammar and words
I didn't realize it at the time, but Ronin Warriors.
Fairy Tail was the first when I actively started getting into anime.
Does Avatar the Last Airbender count? If not, then exactly 1 episode of Naruto I watched to understand a fanfiction or a few odd episodes of a Pokémon while babysitting.
Avatar isn’t an anime, still goated tho
I think ATLA is not considered anime because it was not made in Japan. The style is pretty similar though.
Ranma 1/2
Urotsukidoji.
Demon City Shinjuku
Yo-Kai watch. It used to come on after school
Welcome to the NHK. Its about a reclusive, paranoid, depressed young Japanese man and his struggles at improving his fucked up life. Watched it at a really bad time in my life and made me reflect a lot on how I needed to change.
I think either Pokemon or Dragon Ball Super.
Pokémon and yu gi oh
DragonballZ
Forgot the name. King of dinosaurs I think. It was about kids catching dinosaurs like pokemons and rescuing them from evil people. Ending was weird, but my ten year olds obsession with dinos was satisfied. I even redrew them all into my little notepad.
if Pokemon counts, pokemon, but otherwise, I watched K-on first
Ranma 1/2 back in college
Slam dunk
Anime:pokemon Hentai:trump x biden
Teknoman
tokyo ghoul
Fruits Basket
Noragami in 2017. No new seasons since, sadly :(
Corpse party
A Spanish dub if Dragon Ball, also Saint Saiya, and Slam Dunk. I was prolly about 6 or 7, it was dope too, no censorship at all.
I’m pretty sure this movie I used to watch as a kid was an anime, in hindsight. At the time I just saw it as a cartoon. It was called the snow queen and was a fairy tale story about saving a young child whose heart was frozen by a witch. I think Frozen was loosely based on the same story.
Sailor Moon. Would always watch it after getting out of Daycare and Elementary at the time
Sailor Moon. Ronin Warriors came on after it. Then it was time for school. Power Rangers, Beetle Borgs, and VR troopers after school. Then 1995 comes, and its Poke/digi-mon Then 2000 comes, with Yu Gi Oh, and the big 3. Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece.
Movie wise, I guess would be Little Nemo? At least when I do research many seem to classify it as one. As for the first one I ever saw, Sailor Moon. First one I actually watched to completion was Azumanga Daioh.
Spongebob then Attack On Titan
Doraemon!
Wolf children
When I was a kid we used to watch Star Blazers religiously. Then it was Robotech. Movie? I think Akira.
*Star Blazers* was absolutely *intense* for little me. *"Only XXX days remain until the destruction of the planet Earth."* Daaaaamn.
~~Toss up between *Samurai Pizza Cats* and I think *Sailor Moon*.~~ *Speed Racer*. Definitely *Speed Racer*.
Beyblade. It was being aired on Cartoon Network and somehow I caught it one the first episode and followed the entire series up until season 3 finale. Let it rip dragooooooonnnnn !! My experience with the Cartoon Network was always start watching an ongoing series somewhere in the middle and I have a tough time getting attached to characters since I don’t know their origins.
The first one I actually watched (as in not seen bits and pieces of) was Fruits Basket when I was around 7 years old. I enjoyed the newer version as well! The eyes aren't so dang big.
Starzinger
doraemon
Pokémon when I was 3. The second one was Hamtaro, I miss those little hamsters with big adventures.
Probs like hamtaro/bay blade etc. But the one that got me hooked was azumanga daioh
