Don't really know as far as 'first anime I ever saw' however the first subbed anime, and series that sparked my obsession, was Fruits Basket.
It has been licensed since, and I just discovered the 1st DVD is about to be released here...but alas...it appears to be dubbed only *sobs*.
If Transformers counts, then I saw that first...
If not, then the Guyver...I saw the live action movie and kinda liked it (I was pretty damn young!) heard my friends rave about this thing I had never heard of called 'manga' (meaning anime as in 'manga video' as opposed to manga as in comics), so I left a tape taping it overnight on the Sci Fi channel, I remember the level of sexual content and finding it a little disturbing. Basically these two kids (teenage boy and girl) were walking through some forest and some freaky monster came and basically ripped all the girls clothes off and kidnapped her etc...I found the whole show kinda confusing and though the eccentricity of the show intrigued me at the time (in the same way people will stare at a car crash), I didn't particularly enjoy it. I later saw some very strange anime films which involved some guy who turned into a demon when he had sex, and this really surreal thing where his cock grew so huge it wrapped around the house they were in or some stupid shit like that. It kinda put me off anime for most of my teenage years as I just considered it something weird and full of weird monster-human sex stuff and sexual violence...which just increased when I saw documentaries criticising anime with critics going on about how they were so full of sexual violence against women etc...now of course I know better, that anime is as diverse as anything else, but I only started really getting into anime at about 18 when I bought Ghost In The Shell on a whim when a mate told me he heard it was good...also I saw a review of it and it looked really cool...
Well i would have to say the first anime i ever saw was the best ever. i have still been looking for it. have not found.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. it was with these three airplanes each a different color. They were Red Blue and yellow. there was a white one but it did not trasnsform like the others. but they red blue and yellow planes transformed into huge robots and they would fight this one radical group that wanted to take over japan or somthing. It was a movie i think. strangly enough Gotchaman reminds me of that show so much. but If anyone knows the name of the anime please tell me i have been searching for it ever since the video store down the street had changed ownership.
The first anime I ever saw was about 10 seconds of Akira on some kid's programme (Newsround, I think) back in 1988/89, and they were going on about how revolutionary it was (especially the light trails on the bikes).
The first that I conciously watched was Mysterious Cities of Gold. At the time it rocked, but having found an episode or two for download, I now remember just how bad the English dubbing was. Same goes for Dogantien - great programme, but poor dubbing.
probably DBZ back when i still lived in HK
The first? Sailor Moon (Yay YTV in Canada)... the first SUBBED--> Love Hina ;-)
First for me was Macross in the early 80s
I also saw sebastian and belle, I wish they subbed that one so I can watch them agian. [img]i/expressions/brokenheart.gif[/img]

Tekkaman Blade, I remember watching it in grade 2. I had NO idea what the story was about, but I just loved the look of Tekkaman, I used to get up at 8am every Sunday just to watch it.
I remember waking up at like 5 in the morning with my brother to watch sailor moon and some other anime. "Fighting evil by moonlight!" hahaha, damn how do I still remember that. Well the pathetic thing is my brother still loves Sailor Moon, he watched all of the sub version and now he HATES the dub. But another show (don't know if it's considered anime) was the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. Now that was the shit.
Speed Racer and Marine Boy. They were on the same channel back home every weekday.
The first anime i ever watch was sailor moon when i was 4 years old and i got obesses with anime after street fight 2 the animation movie
