What was your first anime show or film?

For me? The first anime related thing I saw as a kid was Spirited Away on VHS, I was awestruck from the animation and quality of the film.

For shows it would’ve been the usual Pokemon and DBZ. As I grew older I suppose my first proper anime show was watching streams of Neon Genesis Evangelion due to people talking about it at school.

So what about you? What did you see first?

Death Note, sometime in 2009 or 2010.

I remember when it came out, people on forums kept talking about it nonstop. I had no idea what it was, so I just blindly torrented something called Death Note… it was the live action Japanese adaptation lol. I didn’t even know it was an anime until years later. Just for years I thought everyone on the internet was obsessed with that live action movie.

Neon Genesis Evangelion. I had such high hopes…

Edit: autocorrect put evangelism…of course.

Silver Fang, and from that you can identify my age and country.

It’s kind of fuzzy, but I think my first anime was Excel Saga. It was as bizzarre as it was hilarious.
