For those who watch anime or have, what was the first you recall watching.
For me it was The New Gigantor on Sci-fi.
Reruns of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series on circa 2000 Adult Swim.

gotta be pokemon, i think. although, it was very brief and i got stopped because parents were mega fanatical at the time and thought it was satanic.
then, i got into yugioh which somehow isn’t despite all the magic and demonic nature of a lot of things.

Probably Speed Racer. I think it was part of Saturday morning cartoons. But it is definitely one of the first three.

Robotech/Macross back in the late 80’s.
Edit: I forgot about Star Blazers. That was my first as a teenager in school back in the earlier 80’s.

I wasn’t super into anime growing up but my best friend was. He introduced this series to me.

it had to either be sailor moon or speed racer or whatever that managed to show up during the late 80s. However the real first one that I actually went out of my way to watch, was Dragon Ball Z when that showed on network tv (i forget if it was CBS or NBC) during around the mid 90s (years before cartoon network picked it up) as by then I was starting middle school, so prime audience age. That and also my older bother had Ninja Scroll on vhs around that time too and the violence and blood is what really got me into anime since American cartoons were all pretty tame in comparison.
