I was around 8 when I saw my first anime, though I can't remember which I saw first, Outlaw Star or Yuyu Hakusho. Of course Toonami was my main anime network back then.

I don't remember the exact age, but I'd say I was around 6, maybe even younger than that. One day I was looking for something to watch in the afternoon and the Go-Lion portion of Voltron was on Cartoon Network. That's my first memory of anything related to anime.

Started watching G-Force, kimba the white lion, Voltron. In the morning before school. Didn't know it was anime at the time. When I reached late teens I found out what anime actually was.

Without a doubt i watched dragon ball waaay back but i didn't really know what Anime was at the time. It wasn't until middle school when i really started getting into computers and the internet, when i was fully introduced to Anime. Oh and Toonami sure did show me some good Anime back then.

the others that were on came soon after, like dragonball, and ramna 1/2.

I guess you could say I first watched Toonami and was introduced to mainstream dubbed anime like Naruto, when I was around 8. But I didn't really understand that I was watching "anime" or anything different then a normal American cartoon until I was around eleven, when I wanted to watch further ahead in Naruto and realized I could if I watched it with subtitles online. Then I discovered Fullmetal Alchemist, fell in love with it, and it all spiraled from there, since I've now watched close to a hundred series.

Edit: @TheEpicSock: I didn't even think of that. I must have watched my first Studio Ghibli movie at hardly 5 years old. I saw Spirited Away really early on, though I have to say I think it weirded me out at the time, since it was my first taste of that culture.

Honestly I don't clearly remember, but I recall that I was like, 4-5 years old when i started watching stuff like Saint Seiya, Tiger Mask and so on. Man, Gemini Saga (evil) freaked me out so much as a child, lol.
