I do vaguely remember watching Astro Boy and Voltron, so one of those was probably the first anime I watched. But the first anime I actually watched and recognised as anime was Pokemon.

Was that the Astro Boy that was in colour(made in 1980)? The colour version was only Broadcast in Japan,Australia and Canada only.
Astro Boy was my first anime TV series I watched when I was a child but I did not recognise as a anime.Sailor Moon and Kyatto Ninden Teyande
(Samurai Pizza Cats) as the first as an anime.The first title that made anime interesting for me was the first Patlabor film I saw on TV.

I remember this tape I watched religiously about this kola stuffed animal that was actualy a living kola and came from another demension. The late grandfather gave him to the grandmother as a gift and the grandmother gave it to the girl who's name was Sandy in the English dub. The kola only revealed himself as a living creature to Sandy. The boy kola had a pink sister who wanted him to come back to their demension. I can't remember the name of it but that's the first animae I can remember watching.

Lemme see here . . . I'd have to say Voltron, Robotech/Macross, Transformers (was anime, wasnt it in the 80s?), and a few others that started around the mid-80s. Course, if anyone here has seen Betty Boop, she was American, but the Japanese loved her style so much they adopted it . . . she's the unintentional matriarch of modern anime (brief fyi).

Monster Rancher, having played the games.

I can't believe someone else saw Monster Rancher! I enjoyed that show, though I thought Suezo's voice was annoying and I could never figure out why Tiger's name was Tiger, when he looked like a wolf with sheep's horns. :lol:

It would have been Astroboy I think or maybe StarBlazers, they used to air one after the other on ABC's afternoon programming.
But back then they were just cartoons

The first anime I watched knowing it was anime, would have been Neon Genesis Evangelion.

In that case, mine would have to be Albator, the French-language version of Captain Harlock.

I remember publishing my translation of the French lyrics to the opening theme in some other thread....

Pokemon, Transformers, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Astroboy are the first ones I can remember. They were always on the cartoon channels.
