Not sure, my first solid memories are from when I was 3 years old (so around 1992) and by then I was already watching:

Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Z
Captain Tsubasa
Doraemon
Haha wo Tazunete Sanzenri ( aka: Marco/3000 Leagues in Search of Mother//From the Appenines to the Andes)
Saint Seiya
Dr Slump
Kinnikuman (aka: Muscleman)
Dash Kappei!
Ranma 1/2
Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken (aka: Maya the Bee)

bolded the ones I would watch everyday no matter what and I really, really liked




that being said, at age 3, these were just cartoon to me....


Clannad was what got me into watching anime on a somewhat regular basis. I had taken a brief course in japanese and I figured watching japanese movies would be somewhat helpful to my listening skills; when I began to run out of movies I thought "why not try anime?" and I asked an otaku friend of mine for some suggestions. Clannad was the one I watched first, I thought it was amazing how it played with emotions and I really enjoyed it. As I continued watching anime I realized there was some really good stuff out there and I kept watching more and more.

Akira.

First was Berserk ( a friend recommended the show to me ) and it seriously got me hooked up in the whole anime thing.

They can do anything they want unlike some conventional shows with real persons which are becoming more and more boring.

First Anime: Panda go panda

Reason for watching: Pandas

[nohomo]Full Metal Alchemist

A girl I was with in high school was insanely obsessed with FMA, and I hated that one thing about her...

Then eventually I was convinced to watch it...
Then I still hated it...

but, after seeing how insanely obsessed she was with it, I decided to go out and seek anime that I actually enjoyed.

Started watching a bunch of comedy type, think the first one I watched, that actually got me hooked, was either Love Hina or Ouran Highschool Host Club. [/nohomo]

Chobbits, i thought it was the greatest thing ever at the time

chobits or yu yu hakusho...
