Haaaa I have nothing important to contribute to the internet today, so have a meme!
Day 1 - Very first anime
If you want to go with the technicality on this, it would be Pokemon. Because it was on between episodes of Batman on the Kids WB! and I started watching it that way. But I didn't recognize it as something OTHER, just as another cartoon until later on down the line.
In full reality, the first anime I started watching that I realized was anime is either Vision of Escaflowne, or Gundam Wing. They both occurred around the same time for me - I had network TV so I was very limited in the anime I saw on TV! Escaflowne ran a dubbed and badly chop-shop done version on Fox Kids for about 10 episodes, and that was enough for me to start buying the DVDs. You have to remember kids, DVDs in those days were around $35! New! For four episodes, if we were lucky, three if we weren't. That was also when there was still VHS rolling about as well, because I remember buying the first two VHS tapes of Gundam Wing - one dubbed, and one subbed. This was all around my sophomore and junior years of high school. I used to have a clear binder I carried around pictures I printed off the internet of Endless-Waltz versions of Duo and Heero and it held all my fanfic. I think I still have that binder, somewhere.
Anyway, I also remember seeing episodes of Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network when I hung out at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
serhenya's house. We would have sleepovers and stay up late to watch Midnight Run - that proto-Adult Swim show that was hosted by Tom before he got kicked down to Toonami. We would compare the dub scripts - in the ones aired after midnight they could say damn! And say "I'll kill you!" and so on. Wow, those were definitely the days.
I just finished up Gundam X, and it reminded me a great deal of Gundam Wing. The music, the character designs, the incomprehensible politics, and so on. 懐かしよね...

Still find it funny that the last scene we see on the FOX kids version was that doppleganger's butt and he was standing over the monk he just "killed."
