First anime? hum... really hard to remember. But the first anime I've seen knowing that it was an anime is probably Pokemon.
And the first manga was Fruit Basket!

Anime: most probably Sailor Moon, although Dragon Ball was also on TV at the same time when I was a kid. I thought the plot of Sailor Moon was eventually getting too dark and complicated back then for my 7-year-old mind to understand. I mean... time travel what? Her child comes from where?
Manga: Doraemon. I'm among those people start reading manga when they start to learn how to read.

My first manga was when I was 15, its to bad I did not start reading it a few years before that. But I never really had friends that read manga until then. It was called Model and was a vampire manga. My first anime was recommended by my other friend, death note.

well my first anime that i watched regularly on tv was probably Sailor Moon, but my first anime that really broke me away from the mainstream titles on Cartoon Network has gotta be Love Hina. after that i started discovering more anime titles through dvds and fansubs.
first manga i've ever read is probably Ai Yori Aoishi
Fansubs and Scanslations are the best! But when official releases come out, support the anime industry by purchasing your favorite series! (Geneon -R.I.P, Central Media Park - get well soon, ADV Manga - you're back from the dead?!)

Anime was either Dragonball Z or Sailor Moon, manga, not too sure anymore. Think it was Berserk because I heard the manga went on where the anime left off.

My first Anime was also one of my first movies ever: My Neighbor Totoro.
Such a fond, fond memory, and I still watch the VHS every now and again these days for old time's sake. Oh, and Disney sucks for Redubbing it. Little Mei will always be the same voice as Angelica Pickles. Screw Dakota Fanning and her sister. After that came Speed Racer reruns, and for the first Anime that I recognized as different from standard Western animation: Yu Yu Hakusho.
My first Manga is more difficult to pin...back in middle school, I ran with a group that had a few people reading the stuff, but I don't recall reading any of it; what I do recall is that it had a lot in the way of Shounen Ai within. Then, a friend in my freshman Geometry class was bringing Love Hina to class, and I'd cop those off of him when I was bored. Then came my discovery the internet as a source of all things recreation. And it all went downhill from there.
I am the God of Freedom. I am not revered, I have no shrines; and you have never before heard of me nor will you ever hear of me again.

You're all going to laugh, but I was checking out Astro Boy, Gigantor and 8 Man in black and white back in the late 1960s. And then Speed Racer came along -- in color!
I used to race home from the bus stop after school every day to catch it all on "Wee Willie Webber's Colorful Cartoon Club" out of Philadelphia. Those were the days!
