Growing up, things like Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z were on the TV, so I suppose those would sort of count.

But the first anime I watched in earnest, from start to finish, was Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Star Blazers way back in the late 70s or early 80s. Would even wake up early during summer break so I wouldn’t miss it. Didn’t get into the unedited stuff till the 90’s. Probably Ranma 1/2 or Project A-ko. Then stuff like Tenchi Universe & Slayers.

In my time the most popular anime's would be Naruto and One pieace this was around the 2000s but the first anime I watched well it was more of a anime movie it was Totoro. My first anime series I watched was Naruto when I was 5,  i've watched  it from the year it was released to the year it ended it was one of my favourite anime's back then it still is to this day.

Mazinger Z ladies and gentlemen! I honestly never find people who even know of this anime but it is a wild f-ing ride peeps. The only way I can describe this anime is to say at some point a lady robot fires her boobies as a weapon and it became a thing to the point there is references to it in marvel vs capcom as one of Rolls specials

Also known as Tranzor Z, one of the early ones that lead in the mecha genre in the 70s.

For some reason MZ is forever linked in my mind with Gatchaman.  I think they were back-to-back on TV back in the days when I was young and impressionable.
