What was your first anime?

Post by Mayang Bature »

"B: The Beginning" was the first anime I watched.
Even though it cannot compete with the finest, I have a soft spot for it.

My first anime was My hero academia and boy, it was good! But after a point I realised I'm more into soft and sweet anime like Your name, rather than action pack anime. Although they're still fun time to time.

Naruto is the first anime I watched. It is the best ever anime and I don't think any one comes close to it in terms of impact.

Mine was Avatar: The Last Airbender. Real hit and was a marvelous watch.

Naruto never hyped me up as much as it did others. Consequently, I never got round watching it. I was completely into my Avatar Aang. :D

While others had it nice, my first anime was Elfen Lied. It was such a gory anime. I didn’t dislike it but it was quite the introduction.

My first anime was Dr. Stone. It was a pretty good introduction to anime. It is a science anime, and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though science is not my favorite subject. But if you like the show Mythbusters and if you like anime, then you might like Dr. Stone.

My first one was Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's my favorite one, but if I'm honest it might be the nostalgia making that decision (even though it's a great show!).

I've never seen "B: The Beginning," but I also am not sure if my favorite anime is my favorite because I think it's objectively the best, or because it was my first one and it started me down the rabbit hole.

Possibly Pokemon. I think original Digimon had a better overarching story but early Pokemon had a ton of great moments. After the early stuff I only saw bits and pieces. I do like that Pokemon does movies that are self-contained archs. It's a nice way for people to enjoy the series without watching a thousand episodes.

A classic for me. Spirited Away was my first.
We've longed to see the roses, but never felt the thorns
And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare
