Oh geez to be honest I don't remember which was my first anime. Though it had to be one of these: Totoro, Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop. I watched them all when I was just a little girl (around 6-7ish?) so I don't remember which was my first lol. What I can tell you is the first anime I was really into which was Cowboy Bebop. The music was fantastic and it was the only anime my sister ever watched with me (besides Hayao Miyazaki films) so I had some good memories with her.
Funny thing, I didn't read/watch Naruto until I was like 13 years old. The manga was already 6 years old at the time I think. It was only after reading Naruto that I really got into the anime/manga craze and drawing all the time lol.

Dragonball Z was the first I really watched that I can remember. Though now that I think about it, I think I saw Spirited Away before that.

Ok, so I was told the first anime I've ever watched was Akira. My dad had been watching me and really wanted to see Akira, so I was about 4 and he took me to a local theater that was showing it.
Growing up, I remember watching Voltron, Dragonball, Sailormoon, and Transformers. By the time realized I want anime was about the time I was eleven. I was watching a week long anime marathon on Sci-Fi channel, that started with Iria- Zeiram the animation.

The first ones I recall ever watching were Mazinger-Z and Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman. At the time I didn't know what anime was. I was between the ages of 5 and 7. Later on, it was transformers, and gundam. There may be a few others, but I am having trouble recalling at the moment, that was back in the early 80s afterall. It was a very long time ago for me. At about age 9, I learned what anime was and started to appreciate it more and wanted to watch that in favor of other cartoons. Around 10 years old(give or take), I became engrossed with Voltron, Robotech/Macross, GoShogun/Macron1, and there are a few others that come to mind. Definitely good times. Got my daughter turned onto anime when she was only 5 years old starting with Sailor Moon. Our tastes in anime tend to differ. However, there are a few we both enjoy, Naruto being one of them.

@shadowlife - Same for me. G-Force/Battle of the Planets was the first when — when I was a kid too, but it still made such an impression on me. Then Voltron and Robotech. I remember I loved both of those, and not knowing exactly why...just that they were different from everything else on tv. (Just remembered, I also loved Belle and Sebastian, about the same mid-80s time period.)
Saw Nausicaa Valley of the Wind in the late 80s on HBO and that rocked my world. Watched it over and over. Looking back, I'm glad I saw that anime when I was the same age as the main character. It made it that much more important to me. I didn't even know what Studio Ghibli was until I saw Spirited Away. And though I've watched so many more Studio Ghibli movies now (and loved them all) Nausicaa holds a special place for me.
It's hard to understate how different watching anime in the 80s was as compared to now. Then, it was just a blip in the afternoon cartoon programming. It wasn't even called anime. Just cartoons. Only if you really loved them did you know there was something different. Long-running storylines, that beautiful cinematic animation (like the opening of Robotech). Just different. But as a kid, you didn't have a name for it (not even the term 'anime'), you didn't know anyone else who like it except maybe a few classmates, and it could taken out of programming at the drop of a hat. Gone, never to be seen again.
I think discovering an anime wedged in between the Flintstones and Scooby Doo made it feel much more like you'd discovered a diamond in the rough. It made you feel like it was something you had to be home, waiting to watch, because the next day it might not be there anymore.
Anyway, sometimes it still amazes me how easy it is to watch anime, google info about more shows to come, the voice actor's lives, the manga that inspired it, etc, etc, etc. I've passed my love of anime on to my daughter, and she watches what she wants, when she wants. Lol - so different than my first experiences!!

I think this even carried over in the early '90s. When I saw New Dominion Tank Police on this special week long promo channel, it was unlike any cartoon I had ever watched.
It was unique, different and it was before anime had become close to what it is now where it is recognizable by a larger audience.
I've heard from anime podcasters that the best way to find animes in the 80s/90s was on VHS and share/watch them in college anime clubs.

It wasn't until later on when a friend convinced me to check out FMA that I began to get hooked on anime.
