First anime - probably Voltron (if the americanized version counts). If not, then Ronin Warriors.
First manga - Pretear
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

First anime was Pokemon. I was obsessed with that show when I was like... 4 or 5.
My first manga has faded from memory... but I'm guessing it was Bleach. I remember it was one of the Big 3 but I know it's not Naruto.
Trip Fall Die
GAH! My plot doesn't bend that way!

When I was 6, there was a broadcasting for Doraemon and that's how I knew manga.
Oh, but when I was 4 or 5, I watched my first anime(s), Superbook (I've known it's an anime just recently) the next anime was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi) 🤣

My first anime was probably Samurai Pizza Cats, which is an awesome show.
I started manga with 20th Century Boys after being blown away by the Monster anime

When I was 5. Somewhere around there.
It was the whole Pokemon/Sailor Moon/Dragon Ball phase.
The TV blew me away.

If you count pokemon and that stuff, 5-8. After that, I got interested in Japanese-style cartoons.

I think the first anime I watched was Saiyuki. I was around 13-14. But the first manga I read was volume 15 of Ranma 1/2 when I was 10. A friend of mine pointed it out to me and the only volume I could find in the library was #15 so I read it. I didn't understand much but I loved it all the same 🙂 . lol.

I first read manga shortly after I turned 16 but gave it up for a few years (so I don't really count it in total time reading manga) and didn't really get into it until I few years later when I was 18 (almost 19).
