Your first anime show/film (lemmy.world)

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?

Show would have been Starblazers or Robotech (Americanized Space Battleship Yamato and Macross/Southern Cross/Mospaeda, respectively.) For movies probably Akira.

Both are the same for me. Well except I know Robotech was the first show I saw.

Big fan of Star Blazers. I did eventually watch that years later, but my first anime exposure was via a VHS bought from a charity shop of a series called ThunderSub.

Very similar to Star Blazers, don't know if they were related in any way.
