What was your first anime? When did you started to watch it? How did you become aware of its existence?

Was it the anime that made you an anime fan? (If you consider yourself as such)

How does it rank for you? Would you say you still like it? Would you consider it one of you favourite anime series?

When I was a kid I had a few VHS cassettes with various shows and movies on them that were often recorded from TV. This was before the mid 90s Toonami era made anime popular stateside I was like maybe 2-5 with these tapes I'd watch and I didnt even know they were anime.

One of them was the Little Nemo Movie and the other one was a several episodes of a series called Serendipity The Pink Dinosaur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity_the_Pink_Dragon

Apparently it's on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZWuTSp9NgM&t

As for first anime I knew was anime thats harder to say but probably Voltron? If not Sailor moon/dbz
