Like a lot of people, my first anime was Pokemon. I knew it was a Japanese show, but I'd never heard of anime and consequently never thought of Pokemon as such, even after I discovered what anime was. It was just Pokemon, no other descriptors or labels needed.
The first show I ever watched knowing it was anime was probably Dragonball Z, and the first show--actually, the only--I ever really got into was Gundam Wing. Don't ask me why; I can't tell you. It's a perplexing mystery how I found the stiflingly boring and dry political talk of Gundam Wing interesting at age 9 when it bores me to death at 20.

I have five: Pokemon, Digimon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon (don't ask), and Dragon Ball Z. These were the very first anime I have watched when I was a kid. At the time, I thought they were standard cartoons.

Why would you put don't ask for Sailor Moon and not for Cardcaptor Sakura?

Because Cardcaptors is a totally gender-neutral show and not girly at all. Nope nope nope

I watched Dragonball Z and Gundam Wing, neither of which are very girly (okay, you can argue that GW's pilots appeal to girls, but I was 9, so that didn't apply). Who cares about gender appropriateness!

Voltes V, like most kids my age in the Philippines. For the life of me, I couldn't recall if the dub was in English or Filipino.
