My first exposure to anime was the original Kidou Senshi Gundamu 0079 (it was a dubbed version, but...Gundam purist! *Dons a Char mask and runs off*), when I was shown the second VHS (The Red Comet) by a friend. God bless Kill 'Em All Tomino.

grew up watching sailor moon, then i moved onto pokemon and digimon. when i went to my piano teacher's apartment (this happened about 6 years ago; she's japanese), i saw her half-japanese son watching a japanese version of pokemon. i was so interested in it that i decided to look up the japanese digimon. then it branched out to other anime from there. ^^

When I first saw a commercial for Gundam Wing and thought that looks pretty cool. Though to be honest I never got that much into anime.

lol what a great post. my first anime influence was probably something gay like pokemon or sailor moon, but my first good encounter with anime wasDragonball Z. i still remember it, i was watching YTV and it was like 5 or so years ago and it was the Toon Typhoon and they played like 4 episodes of Dragonball Z and i loved it even though it was like Nappa and Vegeta battles lol

I started to get into anime when I first saw the one piece english dub on TV. I got interested in it and searched it online. I eventually found Subs and started watching that. I also got into other anime such as Bleach and Naruto. Also, like what Megaman2004 said I had watched yugioh and Pokemon all the time and I thought it was a regular american cartoon. I didn't even know what anime was.

Sadly, pokemon was my first. (if you dont count Speed Racer.) I got into Pokemon because everyone else at the time was collecting the cards and playing the Gameboy games.

Gundam Wing on Toonami. Three-four years later, Rurouni Kenshin developed my taste for anime further. I only really got into anime 2-3 years back with the anime block on Adult Swim. Trigun and Cowboy Bebop, especially.
