My first were speedracer and transformers when I was little. My friends rented a Castle of Crystawhatever it is *vhs not dvd* (dvd's didn't exist at that time lol) and it was great. (Didn't even know they were anime) Many years later I saw a DBZ marathon on CN and even though Pioneer did a horrible job with the editing/voice acting the show was so cool! I was hooked on dbz after that and other anime soon followed. I never knew just how heavily edited it was until recently. I'm currently watching the hk dragonbox set and it's awesome!
First anime I ever owned was Ninja Scroll.
