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.
YuYu Hakusho.
I think it was an episode of Cowboy Bebop that came on Toonami one night when I was staying at a friend’s house.
It was the first episode, Asteroid Blues.
I didn’t really watch anime until years later when a friend suggested I watch Yu Yu Hakusho so I did.
