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?

Outlaw Star was my first, on early Toonami. I got into DBZ because outlaw star came on later in the night and I refused to miss any of it! It was so… different from everything else on TV.

Still one of my absolute favorites to this day, I prefer it over Cowboy Bebop 😘

Outlaw star was an early watch for me too, was amazing. Really solidified my love of everything space related.

Outlaw Star wars great. I feel obligated to inform as many people as possible that there is a "sequel" to the series called "Angel Links" that takes place in the same universe but follows different characters.

There you go. That's all the information you need to know about it.

NEVER WATCH IT

It is entirely forgettable, not worth the time or effort, and definitely not worth what I had to pay to get a box set of DVD's back in the day from Suncoast in the mall because Anime was still niche and streaming wasn't a thing yet.
