*Blackrabbit98 Jan 25, 2013

Mine was finding robotech and voltron at the video store back when i was a kid in the late 80's

it was an anime on sci fi, or whatever they called it back then.. they haven't introduced it on cartoon network yet, but they showed some late night crazy animes every now and then i think on tuesdays? i don't remember what it was called but there was some crazy scientist doing some crazy experiments in a laboratory. we(me and my dad) didn't watch much of it. i watched a little bit of anime on sci fi...then they started showing the first part of dbz on cartoon network and i started buying vhs copies of slayers at a movie store. i also had a magazine that would come once a month and have a list of animes i could choose from they would send me in the mail for a subscription. most of the vhs movies i had came from there except for akira and armitage the third. pretty sure i found those at suncoast...as well as slayers. think i was about.. 8 or 9 when i started watching them on the sci fi channel. in 7th grade maybe 6th when they started playing dbz on cartoon network. anyone know when they started dbz on cartoon network? i graduated 8th grade in 2000. i got tired of dbz when they went to namek. i got tired of the filler episodes and cheesy over-exaggeration as well as the 6+ episode long fights that were complete waste of time and money. a friend of mine kept watching it afterwards and i got to see trunks come back from the future and heard about vegeta and bulma and i was like /facepalm, this is almost as bad as family guy. they should get some manatees to do their work for them or something. (hope someone here gets that reference). fucking level caps...smh

Moomins.
Granted I didn't know it was anime until several years later...the books they're based on are Finnish but the cartoon was made in Japan, technically making it anime

Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon and Tenchi Muyo. I saw DBZ when the Frieza Saga was first airing, and I think the first time I saw Pokemon was about the fourth or fifth episode EVER...

Earliest memories? Wow, there were a lot I used to watch (but didn't know they were anime). I watched far too much tv!

My earliest would have been either Voltron or Astroboy. They alternated the same time slot in the morning for some time. Also the Wizard of Oz, Mysterious Cities of Gold and The Little Prince. I was told I used to watch Kimba a lot as well but I don't really remember (Hurrah for 80's/early 90's kids!).

My first anime movie was either The Little Mermaid or Puss in Boots (I found out recently that Miyazaki was an animator on that last one)
