what's the first anime you remeber watching?

dragon ball z! i was immediately exposed to it growing up because my older brothers were hugely into it, so it's one of the first pieces of media that i was exposed to.

#ask #anon #i remember we had these old wall stickers of most of the characters on the wall next to our bunk bed.#but yeah i remember having dreams and memories of wanting to be trained by piccolo but uh #i was far too young to understand what piccolos actual intentions were for doing so #as a kid i misinterpreted a lot of stuff about DBZ because i didnt have the right contexts #like i thought yamcha was gokus brother. i thought piccolo and goku were really good friends.#i though raditz was tricking goku when he said he was his brother #i thought kame house and kami were related. and i was always so confused why god had his own merch and a house he didnt live in #oh. i thought ox king was like. a dude chi chi was dating while goku was gone. or like goku just lived with them.#it took me a really really long time to learn who ox king was. and that he was chi chi's dad.#but anyway yeah. we had a fair ammount of DBZ merch and games. though the games were region locked #so my brothers had to use something that hooked into the ps1 to play those games #i dont remember what or how though #we had... Ultimate Battle 22 and... Legends? the latter had a dark gray border around the screen and icons of the characters faces #but it wasnt until i owned DBZ Budokai that i fell in love with the show #and was my first exposure to Zarbon #it came out in november 2002. so i was 4 when i got it. cause i let my cousin borrow it for his birthday when he turned 3.#i never got that game back from him cause everytime i asked back then hed always make an excuse to never give it back #he doesnt know where it is these days which sucks cause i want a physical copy again...#and btw its not an exaggeration when i say Zarbon is the reason im the way i am #literally the moment i saw him i was like ''wow. he has long hair. jewelry. pink attire. and a regal voice? wow. a guy can be that?''#and then he turned into his monster form and i was like ''oh this dude is so fucking cool''#and now i am bisexual because of him #anyway thank you for asking anon! :)#sad to say that idk what other animes i wouldve watched around that time if we wanted to put up another likely source #i also didnt know what an anime was as a kid. it was just cool brutal cartoons to me
