Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Ninku, Vandread, El-Hazard. Not sure which anime I watched first but first time I remember watching it on AXN.
A glimpse of DBZ before i change the channel because i was not interested in anime yet. Somehow it still remains in my head.. and a few years later it brought me into the anime world..
First actual Anime I *remember* watching was Serial Experiments Lain, but I think it more like 4th or 5th, 'cos if it had really been my first I might have given up on anime from the get go. Of course, once I hit Elfen Lied 2 or 3 later I was truly hooked.
Either Card Captor Sakura, Cinderella Monogatari, The Legend of Zoro (anime version) or some other show on the Toonami block of cartoon network.
Guyver: Out of Control Getter Robo Gaiking Mazinger Z The transformation scene of Guyver 2 is the reason I got my first hentai La Blue Girl
The first anime I watched was Pokemon. But I did not know that it was an anime. The first anime that I watched and knew that it was an anime is Shakugan no Shana.
Samurai X & cardcaptor sakura too. Best anime selection ever. Somehow, even with all the censor on tv show, I remember watching Samurai Deeper Kyo on tv once. After 10+ episode the channel gave up censoring stuff and stop the broadcast lol.
That is very hard to recall, but I shall assume it's English Dubbed Dragon Ball Z.. What's next is probably (before?) Digimon or the anime programs showed in the channel Animax.
