Time Quest! That anime is very funny. The kettle has shades. The giant guy genie also likes to eat a weird thing in a stick and is a cry baby. Then the characters get to travel to different places through the magical kettle.

Its original title is "Time Trouble Tondekeman!". Here in the Philippines, it is aired as "Time Quest". The dubbing is so funny. And that anime is very old!

Well actually it was yu yu hakusho but I saw only first episode because I had to go to my grandpa's house, so you know couldn't watch it. So I can tell Pokemon was the first anime I watched fully. :)

My first anime should be Dragonball Z, all the way back during my elementary school years. I did watch Doraemon before that but I was not that hardcore yet until the later stages especially after watching Dragonball. The cartoons before Dragonball were not animes but English-based cartoons such as Transformers, Voltron, Thundercat and He-Man.

The very first anime I've seen was the Dragon Ball Z. That's when I was still 9 years old I think. I've seen it in television. At first I don't appreciate it because I am more into cartoons than anime. But when I grew up, I started liking animes. The very first anime that I appreciated was Samurai X (Rorouni Kenshin). That is when I got addicted to animes. Lol!

I remember watching Voltes V and Daimos with my siblings but I don't remember much about it because I was still too young to appreciate it fully. I think the animes that I did grow up watching were Peter Pan, Cinderella, Princess Sarah, Prinsipe Cedi, etc. I'm not even sure if they're really animes... I am sure that Ranma 1/2 is an anime and I watched that years ago when it was shown for the very first time in the Philippines on RPN9, with english dubs :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I think the first anime I saw was actually the moomins if anybody knows what that was, it was based on a book by a Norwegian writer though the cartoon was created by the Japanese. Later when I was finishing primary school it was dragon ballz,gundam wing and tenchi muyo.
