Might I suggest including Voltron and Robotech?

For Shame!
Samurai Pizza Cats was unlisted; so that's what I choose. |

I'm shocked Voltron isn't on the list. That was my first introduction to anime some... odd... years ago. Manga--Blade of the Immortal.

Voltron was my "first" anime (along with Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs) back in 1985ish, but I don't consider those to be the shows that "introduced" me to anime, since I was young and didn't realize they weren't "just cartoons."
It wasn't until 12 years later, on a fateful July morning that I stumbled across Sailor Moon on the USA Network. Yup, I'm one of those, a fan brought in by girls fighting for love and justice in short skirts with awesome hair. |

I have a similar story. When I was young I used to watch many different anime without knowing what they were - Voltron, Robotech, Fables Of The Green Forest, etc... It wasn't until until the era of Sailor Moon & Samurai Pizza Cats that I realized that these were anime. Even then, I didn't actually become an otaku until years later, when I got a DVD player. I didn't get into manga until about 1996, when I bought two Ranma 1/2 books. And I didn't buy another manga until almost 10 years later, when I found out they didn't cost an arm and a leg anymore! |

Gah! I didn't notice that Galaxy Express 999 was grouped under Captain Harlock until after I voted one of the "unlisted" categories. Any chance that can be corrected?
Also, caught a typo: "Bubglegum Crisis 2032 / Crash! / ADP Files" |

Heh, perhaps this shows how much i'm out of the anime mainstream...out of the top 4 voted anime, I have seen exactly....zero...and in the 5th place (Cowboy Bebop) I haven't seen the entire series.
Meanwhile, I'm looking figuring that anime like Last Exile and Fruits Baskets would have a lot of votes and have a total of 2...both with Fruits Basket. I'm surprised that Chobits and Full Metal Alchemist only have 3 as well. but ahahaha...I'm not the only one who voted for DNA^2. yes! I'm not totally alone! |

I'm in the same boat with you. I grew up watching Star Blazers, Votron, and Mazinger Z (although the latter was called Tranzor Z when it aired in syndication), but I was too young and naive to notice that they originated in Japan. Sailor Moon was the title that got me to really notice what anime really is and take a great interest in it (Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh helped a little as well), and that's the point of the poll. |

The first anime title I watched (that I consciously knew was Japanese) was Ronin Warriors (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers), when it was in a lineup including Dragon Ball Z and Samurai Pizza Cats. I noticed how differently it was animated compared to other cartoons I was watching and got addicted to it based on how exotic it seemed.

What? No love for speed racer? I'm fairly sure that was one of the first anime I viewed.... Not to mention it was the FIRST truly successful anime to be broadcast in America.

Haha, I did exactly the same thing as you did and missed GE999 in the poll the first time, too. It does give you the option to change your vote, though. |

I'm surprised by a few of the shows that aren't on the list. I didn't realize that Speed Racer was one of the excluded ones. I just sort of assumed it was there. While I voted Sailor Moon as my 'intro', I was actually recommended the show (many months before I ever actually saw it) because I mentioned liking "that Japanese show" Speed Racer when there was a marathon on Cartoon Network... Oh well, didn't obsess over it nearly as much as BSSM, so I won't bother changing my poll result. |

Doraemon I guess I can understand since it's never been shown over here. But that was the first one for me. My first licensed one was Sailor Moon.

Yeah I was looking for Speed Racer also, though Gatchaman was technically my first one (when it was called G-Force and was shown on Cartoon Network around '93-'94). I'm surprised neither was mentioned in the poll
