I'm not sure...
The first anime I've ever seen was Pokemon. But I didn't know it was an anime... I was 6 maybe...
I became aware of anime when I was.. 12 I think~
I've first heard the word "anime" when conected to DBZ..
Some years later, I've discovered manga, and became hooked
My first manga was Fruits Basket. That was after watching the anime^^

I have watched anime since i remember, i think i began with SF Saiyuuki Sutaajingaa (aka Starzinger) also Kyaputen Fuuchaa (Captain Future) and Seigi no Asiru Mono Gekko Kamen (Gekko Kamen)... I really liked anime since i was chiled weirdly enough i realized the difference before i could enter school mostly because the anime itself had a "show" on a national's tv channel named "El show de los robots" where they specified the difference

The first Anime I'd ever seen was Outlaw Star, and my first Manga was Flame of Recca.

...I grew up in Hong Kong and so manga/anime were my cartoons.

Um... firsts?

First manga = Doraemon. GREAT CLASSIC <33
First anime = Sailor Moon (I can't remember if it was Gundam or Sailor Moon)

...But if you ask when did I get obsessed... Probably at age 11, first manga = Love Hina, first anime = Fushigi Yuugi.

Anime, when I was about 5 or 6. My older brother and I got hooked into watching Dragonball, so go and blame him for my addiction.

But the first time I read manga, I was already 12. A classmate brought Rurouni Kenshin and lent it to me.

I think the 1st manga I read was Adolf when I was 11ish. F***en masterpiece imo! Then I think it was either Dragon Ball or Akira.

My Neighbor Totoro. I was a toddler. Then we got it on VHS, too; we had the promotional plushie (however awesome, long since lost).

I busted out the Totoro about three months ago and sort of relived that bit of my youth. It was worth it. It's a solid film.

My first experience with animanga that I knew was animanga was my Yu Yu Hakusho/Rurouni Kenshin obsession that started in the seventh grade and didn't end until I'd finally managed to see each and every episode (about a year ago). But now I still need to read the manga of both.

I remember watching Voltron and Speed Racer when I was younger. First manga was FLCL and Love Hina

My first anime was probably Sailor Moon or this one about a robot cat, which I can't remember the name of. This was around 4-5 years of age.

When I discovered what manga/anime was, I was 13, and the manga that introduced it was Ah! My Goddess - the only manga available in my library at the time, shockingly enough.
