Anime Question

What cartoons did you watch "before" you got into anime.

Exo-Squad.

Throughout middle school and high school in the 90s, i was pretty disappointed with the cartoons that i could watch (there were no anime on tv). In elementary school, I was into He-Man and Transformers, but few shows that came out afterwards were as cool as those shows. I was also really tired of shows where every episode the villain hatched a new plot that was foiled before the end of the episode. God, I would have loved it if there were shonen anime on tv back then. Finally in my senior year of high school (1996), I found Exo-Squad that met my requirements. It depicted a war in the solar system between humans and the genetically engineered "neo-sapians". The good guys didn't win in every episode. Each episode led right into the next one. It also fit with my love of astronomy and I was happy to see them go to real places in the solar system that I new very well. Shortly after graduating, I watched my first anime, and then learned what it was when joining the college anime club. But in a way, Exo-Squad, which is sometimes called the American Anime, was my first anime. And then it turns out anime was what I had been wanting the whole time in Middle and High school without even knowing it.

Well, I'm really young I guess, so I grew up watching SpongeBob Squarepants. I've always considered it as my favorite TV show since I was 4 years old, for some reason. But there was A LOT that I watched in my childhood, I can't name them all.

I also really liked Adventure Time and Regular Show during the time that I barely started watching anime, but I wasn't too obsessed with anime yet. So I guess those could count as my previous favorite cartoons.

I watched alot, but Ben 10 stuck out to me. Even at my age, I'm still a huge fan of this series.
Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, and Ben 10: Omniverse (though Omniverse is my least favorite of them all).

I suppose you could count it as an anime, but I've watched pokemon ever since I was really little. Long before I knew what anime was. Actually I didn't get into anime until I joined my college anime club. Although, I still love pokemon.

Honestly, I have been into anime most of my life. When I was little (4-10 yrs?) all I ever watched was Pokemon. I'm sure there were other shows that I can't think of, like Spongebob or something, but mostly Pokemon. Then when I was maybe 11 or 12 I got into Hetalia. Don't remember how that happened, but that was one of my first real animes... It all went downhill from there.

Oh, many many. I basically grew up watching cartoons. All I ever did was watch cartoons. I even preferred watching cartoons much more than hanging with friends or something. Aaah, my sweet little fantasy world... xD

I watched so many, so I'll just name my favorites. Courage the Cowardly Dog (most favorite ever!!!), Spongebob, Tom and Jerry, Samurai Jack, Ed Edd n Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Scooby-Doo, The Simpsons.
I especially loved many Disney movies! My favorite was Pocahontas! <3

I also watched South Park and I still do. :D

So many...mostly old ones (unless you count the kids ones that I watched when I was very little XD), I watched many of the old Disney Classics, and my mum had several old videos of cartoons like Roobarb and Custard and Henry's Cat. They were pretty funny (well, I thought so) even though they were meant for kids, and yet so simple; you could even see the way the characters were drawn with a felt tip pen, all kind of shaky and scribbly. I'm currently enjoying The Animals of Farthing Wood (pictured) on YouTube, which is nice to watch as the artwork is nice and I read and enjoyed the original book series of which the TV programme was based on. At some point I also want to watch Watership Down. I suppose that's one of the reasons why I like anime; it kind of reminds me of the old-fashioned cartoons that I used to enjoy, only made for teens and adults instead of young children.

and currently (and hopefully forever) My Little Pony Friendship is Magic id the Best cartoon for me!..i dont know why (before) but by watching the first episode it felt like its about me and my life...i had no friends..i thought i dont need them and only need my studies...and thats what got me attracted to it..it made me realise who i am...and what i really need...and that is the Magic of Friendship,and that show..made me learn and understand that and now i have made some friends i've learned lessons in friendship but still needs to learn more,i've also had fun with them and stuff that i didnt care much about before....-Friendship is Magic- :')

and this video shows it all..its not all the seasons..they are still more seasons to come! but this video really made me...happy but a bit sad at the same time...i was really touched..and the tears were probably tears of joy...and so i am thankful to this show..same as K-on! but thats another story
