The first anime shows I watched were Sailor Moon and Pokemon, and I think that was when I was seven or eight.

(I can't believe how annoying Sailor Moon's voice is, watching it now. 🤢 )

But when I turned ten my friend recommended me a 'comic' called Inuyasha, she let me borrow it for the weekend and oh God I was addicted.

After that I started to watch FMA, FLCL -- any anime that was on [adult swim] at the time.

Farewell, until the day I can see clear skies.

pretty damn sure around 4 or 5 or something since my sister brought home a bunch...

i dont even remember anymore, it seems as if i was born into this stuff.

i remember when my sister brought home lain she said i wouldn't get it, and when she brought home fruits basket quite a whiles later

the cow with the black and white hair gets lectured by the class pres about his hair color being against the rules or something, and then they go into the bathroom because the cow says fine i'll show you then, and they come out and my sister starts laughing her ass off.

and i was sitting there 10 or 11 or something i dont remember, smiling going "what's so funny 😀 I wanna laugh too!"

now i look back on this memory and i think it's the funniest memory i have with anime.

"everybody and everything have a reason for being what society calls 'stupid', HOWEVER, people are too impatient or dont care111!! ROFL! =)" INCLUDING ME!! 😀

Sailor Moon was my first 😳 Honestly, I still love it because of the memories.

And then later I went through the pokemon/digimon phase like crazy, and then things escalated from there... It didn't help that I fell in love with anime inspired video games, either.

well when i was little i liked DBZ but I really started getting into manga and anime last year. Pretty face and Rossario vampire were my first.

Irish+French= Drunken painter?

I think that speed racer and sailormoon was my first anime. didnt start reading manga til i waz 16.

Like everyone at my age, in the states atleast, I was exposed to Dragonball and Sailor Moon when I was about 9 or 10. Then when I was about 16 or 17 I figured out what anime was and I watched Spriggan, and Gundam Wing. Parts of it atleast. I was intrigued, so I watched Ghost in the Shell, and it was okay. Nothing mind-blowing, kind of boring actually. And that's when I stumbled onto Lain, and Cowboy Bebop. Then the rest of the good stuff followed.

As for manga, I can't remember if it was Ruroni Kenshin or FLCL first, when I was 18.

hmmm. i watched pokemon, yugioh, avatar, and inuyasha as a kid.

As far as I know there is only one avatar, and it ain't anime. Sorry to be picky, but not every awesome cartoon comes from japan. America's cartoons used to awesome too once. 😢

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

Yeah, DBZ and gundam around 9/10 and then I didn't really get in to any other anime or manga until around a year and a half ago, so 17 I would say. Since then, it has become an ever increasing hobby 😀

I think either Maya the Bee or Adventures of the Little Koala was my first anime. I watched it when I was about 6 or something back when it was on Nickelodeon. But it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I really got interested in anime/manga.

Fushigi Yuugi was my first manga, got it as a gift for my birthday 4 years ago.

I read so much mangas, I'm too lazy to watch anime! 😛 😛 😛

Manga I'm loving ATM: Heart no Kuni no Alice

wish I had discovered it earlier- all I can say is late teens..and anime only for a while- I think it was fatal fury- the first anime that I saw- was on AXN

I was 15 when I really got addicted to these stuff...but back when i was a kid I used to watch Sailor Moon, Gundam..but I never classified them as anime back then...it was all cartoon for me 🤣

FEAR THE FORCE LIGHTNING BROTHA

I was around 6/7 when I first sarted watching anime, like sailor moon, detective conan, pokemon, digimon, wedding peach, one piece, yu-gi-oh etc. The very first was sailor moon. .

I rediscoverd it when I was 15. That's when I started to become a real fan. So thats my answer to the poll 🙂

My first manga was tokyo mew mew 🙂

45 years old = dragonball
68 years old = zenki, ranma, mahoujin guru guru, and slayers
912 years old = ............................... boring life
1315 years old = tokyo underground, trigun, cowboy bebop, love hina, evangelion
16~18 years old = elfen lied, naruto, bleach, one piece, berserk, full metal alchemist, and everything else

Even though the first anime I saw was Robotech when I was 6-7 years old, but the anime craze got into me when I first saw Cardcaptors (yes, Cardcaptors, not Card Captor Sakura) on Cartoon Network at the age of 14. I've been severely addicted since then.
I got into manga only when I was 19. It's just one year for me reading manga. 🙂

I'm going to say 5 but it was probably earlier. Started out with Sailor Moon and the like. We would pretend to be the Sailor Scouts during recess in kindergarten haha. (I was Sailor Mars 😛 )

First manga. I have no clue. Probably Yu-Gi-Oh because my brother was into it and my dad got him a Shonen Jump magazine.

Scanlations I remember because I went digging around for Inuyasha. I found this site that only had the words and I went off of that for months. I learned about scanlations on the site and went looking around to find them. Yup.
