It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

What was your first anime? When did you started to watch it? How did you become aware of its existence?

Was it the anime that made you an anime fan? (If you consider yourself as such)

How does it rank for you? Would you say you still like it? Would you consider it one of you favourite anime series?

I recently found out that Cities of Gold is technically anime, so it'd be that, the first time it was shown in English back in the '80s. The first I consciously saw was Akira, it was shown (IIRC) in 1991 on channel 4 at 11pm on a friday night ... I couldn't watch it, but I had a friend with a video recorder who got his Mum to set the timer for me. I watched it at school the following week (in bits during lunchtimes, thanks to a sympathetic teacher), and kept the tape even though I wouldn't have my own VHS player for another 6 years, lol ... it totally blew me away at the time, and I think it's aged well :-)
