My first was “puss in boots” It's a very fun family film that works. Puss in Boots benefits from the freedom to define its own identity. It's Puss in Boots. Come on. Yet despite everything, it's one of the best studio children's movies in years.

I don’t clearly remember my first anime. I think it would either be Pokémon or Dragon ball Z. They used to come on Cartoon Network channel. Later I watched a ton of anime shows on animax channel. I watched almost everything that was aired on that channel while I was growing up.

It was mostly Pokémon and DBZ. Later, I watched a lot of shows on animax. Digimon and beyblade were great too. Watched shows like, slam dunk, hungry heart, cardcaptor Sakura, ghost at school, detective school Q among others.

My first legitimate anime was Inuyasha. I had tapes of Sailor Moon episodes that I would watch frequently, but I never watched a committed series until that point. It was "okay," though I'm glad that I moved on to better series that left more fond and memorable impressions.

Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! of course. Too young to even know what anime was. They were just regular cartoons to me.

"Dragon Ball Z" was my introduction to anime. Its blend of epic battles, character development, and themes of perseverance captured my imagination. It paved the way for a lifelong appreciation of anime.

It would be impossible to say for sure. A Japanese television series called Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya introduced me to Japanese culture. The first anime was Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac.

My first anime was "Robotech" which technically (for those unfamiliar) was a Western fusion of three unrelated anime.

The first anime I watched was Bleach; I don't think it had subtitles for some reason. It's weird

My first was Dragonball Z. My husband is a huge anime fan and I’ve never been into it, but while he was watching through all of Dragonball Z, I naturally got sucked in and watched some with him. Later on, he introduced me to OG Dragonball and Super, and now it’s a comfort show for me. Most other anime I don’t care to watch, but Dragonball is a special one.

My first one was Detective Conan. I used to watch it when I was like 10 and didn't know what an anime was. Then the first "conscious" one has been Death Note! I loved them both <3

MY FIRST ANIME WAS "FAIRYTAIL" !! IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AND ALWAYS WILL BE!
It is light, more on an adventure vibe, camaraderie, and friendship, and you'll learn a lot of lessons! It's one of a kind ^_^ <3 (1M/10). Wanna fight Natsu! ;-)
