I was recently thinking about my background with video games, since I'd gotten an early start with them (when I was three... with E.T., of all games), and I wondered just how far back I went with anime. I don't think the Thundercats count, so I think Unico was the first anime I ever watched. I'm not sure of my exact age, but its during that time when I have very few memories, so I was probably no older than three -- two, at the youngest. I'm pretty sure of it due to collaboration with my mother, and knowing that my environment and circumstances around the ages of four and upward don't match what I recall.
So, yeah. What's the first anime you recall watching, and when was it?
