On a technical scale it would have been Sailor Moon, but I was an infant and have no recollection. Knowing what I was watching, either Pokémon, Beyblade,Digimon, or Hamtaro. And then knowing what anime actually is, Fairy Tail.
I remember watching the ocean dub of Dragonball and Sailor Moon on this channel when I was 3. But I didn't remember much of those shows. So technically my first anime that I remembered fondly and was memorable to me was Pokemon.
Pokemon was a first for a lot of peeps. I watched a few episodes of the original, but could never get into it. Now I've watched every episode of each version! I even seen all the movies! My favorite would have to be Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution!
My first anime was the Original Dragon Ball! What about you peeps?
My first delve into actual anime stuff probs dbz n Naruto
no idea as i think i watched many at once back then
like pokemon was around when digimon was around
but i think sailormoon came before both of them, so probz her (i had all her toys and a box set)
iv always loved anime, staying up late to watch toonami and sometimes Animonday on scifi
oh yeah hamtaro was a thing back then too!
(its hamtaro time~)
