Unico was my first anime as well. I didn’t realize it was anime specifically until much later. I think what I took from it was a strong desire to make others happy, just like Unico did to everyone he encountered. The episode that I remember best is the episode where he saves the girl from the evil lord/monster by transforming into a pegasus. I think to some extend everyone wishes they could be the hero for the ones they love.

The first anime I saw knowing it was an anime was Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma. Quite a jump from the happy little unicorn! I think what I took away from it was a sense of destiny, and second chances, along with an appreciation for gore.

I fondly remember Tenchi Muyo actually – if there’s anything you can come away from that series with, it’s the cabbits are adorable, you never know when your pets will turn into starships, and never underestimate the power of wooden things. :D

Although it really was a great series! I wish I could ever be lucky enough to have women like Ryoko and Ayeka compete for my attention.

Mine was Unico. I still love me some Unico. So I guess that makes me ..a shapeshifting magical KAWAII unicorn?

The first anime I ever consciously decided to watch was Tenchi Muyo, back when it first started airing on Toonami.

I’d hate to imagine what kinds of messages I may have picked up on and absorbed. >.>

But that was when I was like, 11 or 12. I don’t think I watched much anime at all before then, or any.

If I remember correctly, my first anime series was Ranma 1/2, from which I learned the valuable life lesson that being doused in water will cause you to grow breasts. I think that’s where my fear of showers came from…
