Other than the usual Pokemon/DBZ shit the first anime I actively watched as anime was Berserk 1997. I was already into manga at the time so it was an easy segway into anime.

First anime on tv was probably this.
First anime I watched on my own was Lucky Star

Get out

There were too many anime I was watching when I was 3-4 years old, the oldest I can remember is Sasuke, the ninja kid.
Back then I didn't even know that anime was a Japanese monopoly though, I lost interest in TV around 2002-2003 and haven't watched anything till 2011 when I found about fansubs while I was bored after quitting my job and I was searching sites to marathon Dragon Ball.
Back then if I remember well the first fansubbed anime I watched was probably Clannad, because I remembered that a cousin of mine talked about it once, when we were kids.

I saw this when I was four, I thought it was the coolest shit ever.

If we aren't counting DBZ/Pokemon

My first anime was Another. I was like holy cow desu!! This is freaking so cool and violent omg bloody and spooks!! Japs know how to do it right!

Highschool of the dead

97 berserk.

Still don't think Berserk is anything special but it got me in.

>Still don't think Berserk is anything special
Don't act like Griffith's betrayal didn't get to you.

Griffith suffering was a high point but the betrayal was just meh and then the anime ended.

Shōnen Sarutobi Sasuke

My favorite show as a kid! I loved Marco as well. Do you happen to know anything else thats similar?

First show I watched that I was aware was anime was Inuyasha, if you don't count a few ghibli movies.

Like hell I remember. But I do recall from my younger years the scene from Akira where Kaori's shirt gets ripped off, exposing her bare tits. That fucked me up a good bit.
