When I was around 10, I watched Pokemon animes, but the real complete anime serie I saw was "Captain Future" (Capitaine FLAM in french ^^) (I saw it because my father wanted to share with me animes of his childhood, and I loved it)
Astroboy / Mazinger Z / Samurai Pizza Cats, back in 1991-1992 before many of you guys were born hehe, those were the days rushing to the tv at 6am just to watch them before getting ready to school.
I thought there was a thread for this... maybe I'm mistaken.
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon was the first anime I ever saw... short skirts, pretty girls, melodrama, and redundant, but somewhat well-thought out enemies. lol
Well technically I would have to say Voltron (yes I'm old) but back then I had no clue that it was anime. So in all seriousness I don't claim that as my first anime whereas Crying Freeman was more my first anime. And yes Crying Freeman got me into anime all those years ago.
Ninja Scroll was the first one i saw and i absolutely loved it,
Have watched many others since then but movies mainly.
I have watched only few selected anime series till now as i hate watching shows which keeps on dragging forever and ever...
