Alright, I don't know if this is exactly the right place for this to be but hey, I figured "general anime" pretty much covers everything.
I was just wonding which anime was the one that got other people craving more anime. For me it was Evangelion, a friend brough over episodes 9 to 26 and we spend all night watching them, after that I had to see more.

It was Miyazaki's Tenkuu no shiro Laputa that got me hooked... that's quite some years ago..

Sakaki · 2004-04-11, 08:46

I bought the "Ghost in The Shell" DVD, and that set the trigger, then I rented "Dirty Pair Flash" and that pulled it. Tenchi and Evangelion set the maddness in firm.

Kyuven · 2004-04-11, 12:05

Tenchi Muyp and Gundam Wing both got me truly hooked
Love Hina set it in stone

Maikeru · 2004-04-11, 12:05

Sailor Moon. I just loved it.

CerealKiller · 2004-04-11, 12:42

eerm.... ranma, though i don't like it that much any more

Record of lodoss.

<xellos> · 2004-04-11, 14:13

lol, the first 2 anime shows i ever watched were Dragonball and Sailor Moon, although then i didnt know what anime was. Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 as the first thing i watched knowing what anime was. Then i friend told me to download Neon Genesis....and i would never be the same again....

BME · 2004-04-11, 15:43

Well Chobits was the first series I saw in japanese so that´s what got me started

Edgewalker · 2004-04-11, 16:06

Akira . I had been watching some anime before but it was Akira that showed me that Anime has much more to offer then american TV . I then started watching series such as hellsing , evangelion , ect ( plus random anime off of netflix ) I hardly ever watch normal TV now ... And I pretty much barf / scoff at the imbecilic sitcoms and "reality shows" that are on today . Whenever I get bored of anime ... I just turn on the TV .

After about 5 minutes of crappy acting , crappy plots ( if some of the crap can be called plots

) , crappy characters ... ah well lets just say after 5 minutes of crap I am browsing for anime again . Although there are some good non anime movies / series ... they are few.

momojigari · 2004-04-11, 17:08

WEll a few years back, I saw a certain movie called Appleseed..that really old one. My very first series was CHOBITS...that was quite enjoyable. But perhaps the series that truly got me hooked would be HELLSING! After that..i became an animaniac...

harudasakurada · 2004-04-11, 17:19

The first anime I saw that I actually knew was anime was Wedding Peach. First subtitled anime was Record of Lodoss War, and I've been pretty much hooked after that.

HoboGod · 2004-04-11, 23:39

well, dragonball z got me watching anime, but gundam wing got me hooked

Asakura_Y0h · 2004-04-12, 01:40

For me it was Fruits Basket... i think... i can't remember the very first anime i've watched although i didn't watch very long ago... either that or hunter X hunter...

~~Nooj~~ · 2004-04-12, 02:03

The very first anime I saw was Violence Jack and that was a long time ago! I was a small kid.

All that violence got me hooked on.

Radd · 2004-04-12, 02:13

There's actually a lot of similar threads about people's 'first' anime, and so forth. Then again, the 'first anime' someone sees might not be the one to get them 'hooked', but hey. For me, if Super Dimension Fortress Macross (edited, hacked up, rewritten, forced together with two completely unrelared anime into a still fairly decent, though nowhere near as good show called Robotech) wasn't the first, then it was definitely the one that got me hooked. I think Tetsuwan Atom (edited and americanized into Astroboy) was probably the first that I'd seen, the colour version that aired in the 80's.

Secca · 2004-04-12, 02:14

Not really sure which anime got hook me up, I just love anime as long as i can remember. and manga too.

I grow up watching Voltus V, Mazinger, Saint Seiya, Candy Candy and Doraemon. ^^

Same here. Tenchi Muyo solidified my addiction, and after buying my first anime DVD (Rurouni Kenshin) all hope was lost

Hopez5 · 2004-04-12, 02:34

Sailor Moon! I didn't even know it was anime! Yes, that was a LONG time ago. But SM opened my eyes to many other series and even though my tastes have evolved it is still a fave of mine.
