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?

Probably Bee Maja, Wickie and the strong men or Heidi. Tons of classic German children’s shows are actually animes.
Same thing goes for the animated Moomin-series - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin_(1990_TV_series)
A classic for kids in Sweden.
Show - Robotech, it was on Sunday mornings on sci-fi channel for a while in the mid 90s. Film - Ninja Scroll, dad had a descrambler and saw it on PPV in the early 00s. Good times.
I remember watching Totoro as a child not knowing it was an anime. Later I watched The Guyver (1989 OVA) on VHS at my cousin’s. Evangelion and Lodoss War were the first fansubs I watched knowing they were Japanese.
Pokemon for TV, movie would probably be Laputa.
