Well if you don't count Ultraman which is not animated ..
I am quite sure it is Gatchaman for me, I remembered following it for a long time ..
I was in kindergarten and I remembered they have this plane that can become a fire bird ..
It was before they got their no.2 guy .. I remembered I didn't like their no.2 guy when he came about ..
Later they change to this triangle plane which is combined together with a bunch of smaller crafts and the hero had a sword where he will be standing on outside of the plane before the special power thing that will destroy the bad guys ..
While I think it is cool with the sword and all .. it pretty dumb for me even for a little boy that someone got to stand on the outside of the plane .. not wonder it was killing him later ..
I remebered being really sad when it was over..
It was dubbed so it was not in Japanese

Cardcaptor Sakura when it premiered on TV here is the earliest I can remember.

I think it was Elfen Lied. Such a masterpiece although it leaves you empty and numb inside.

The first anime I ever watched was Ronin Warriors (ENG DUB) but I don't remember much of it as all I can remember was the intro and the last year it was shown (1990). However, I remember Sailor Moon then it went off the air for some reason. But I mostly remember Pokémon as it ran for like 25 years.

I think it might have been Samurai Pizza Cats on YTV around 1993 or so, but I'm not sure.

 

The first anime that I saw that got me into anime though was Macross Plus on the Sci-Fi Channel in January of 1998. That anime just completely blew me away the first time I saw it, and it's still one of my favorites to this day.

i remember my best friend in 5th grade (and still my best friend today!) told me to watch this show called shugo chara since it was similar to winx club (we were huge fans at the time lol), they sent me a link to one of those shitty anime streaming sites and i watched the first few eps and instantly fell in love. i think i watched both seasons (i like to pretend the 3rd season doesn't exist) in like 2 weeks, i loved it so much and i still remember watching it on my ipad and listening to the buono songs. little did i know 5 years later i'd still be listening to those songs and know the names of the girls in all the shugo chara units lol

It was probably Tenchi Muyo ~1995. Only ever saw a few episodes when I would go to my friend's house to hang out.

 

First anime I was personally into was Inuyasha. Then I discovered Studio Ghibli lol.
