My first anime that I really remember as "anime" was an X-1999 vhs tape. But it was Blood-The Last Vampire that I first saw the potential for and made me fall in love with anime.
yeah call me fang, i like games and anime and animals . ...but yeah am i the only one who liked anime since like ....18 years ago?..... >_> i was like 6-7 watching Card Captor Sakura and Digimon and stuff >_>
Fangnir - I've been watching 'em since the late 80s. :P (Oh fuck, I feel old now)
Stuff like the aforementioned Alfred J. Kwak, Peter Pan no Bouken, Maple Town Monogatari, Mori no Youki na Kobito-tachi: Belfy to Lillibit, Pinocchio yori Piccolino no Bouken, and a bunch of others I've forgotten. xP
I liked Robotech alot when I was a kid. But it was just another cartoon to me back then. Even had this big toy that was one of those cockpits on bird legs with laser hands.
The first anime I ever watched was Pokemon, however the anime that turned me into an otaku would probably be the original Naruto. I was just so engrossed in the characters and the world of Naruto that I started watching many other series.
It's a Dutch co-production based on the works of performer/singer/songwriter/actor Herman van Veen.
Of course, when I was a wee little boy I didn't know that it was technically an anime. :P
