It's kind of fuzzy, but I think my first anime was Excel Saga. It was as bizzarre as it was hilarious.

YuYu Hakusho.
Probably “Alfred J Kwak”. A Dutch cartoon produced in Japan. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLITzooyl5h5GKwvnwe3zSVXjnrDOiO_5P
Or “The Wonderful Adventures of Nils“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonderful_Adventures_of_Nils_(TV_series)
Back in the 70’s and 80’s it was common to outsource the production of animation to Japan. So many European cartoons were basically anime. It had the typical Japanese animation style of that time. For example the same company that produced "Alfred J Kwak" made the 1990 version of the Moomin TV-series.
Yu Gi Oh!
I think it was RoboCop, the 1987 one and Child's Play 2 maybe?
Animation is hard to remember either Candy Candy or Kimba the White Lion. Maybe Saint Seiya?
Édit, oh you mean animatimed movies, nvm
I think it was Bleach on adult swim at night as a kid after all the other stuff like robot chicken and aqua teen hunger force ended. Could also be DBZ though
I first saw Saint Seiya in Mexico in the early 90s. Being a young kid I didn't know it was anime at the time but remembered it being special compared to cartoons of the day.
Ninja Scroll
Pokemon or Sailor Moon. Movie, probably the first Pokemon one.
Project A-Ko in 1996
Kiki's Delivery Service. I got it on VHS, probably for Christmas the year the Disney dub came out. I didn't have cable for a decent chunk of my childhood, so I saw that even before Pokemon.
Has to be Pokemon for me, I used to like it for a year or two then got bored. Then I got hooked on Dragon Ball Z, which I still love.
I think I saw the Pokemon movie before Spirited Away though
Mermaid melody Pitchi Pitchi Pitch! It played early in the morning every day in one of my country's public networks
Wagamama Fairy Mirmo De Pon!, an obscure anime that is basically The Fairly Oddparents if it was a shoujo. When I was in elementary school, it was on regional TV right after classes ended, and I loved it. It was the first ever media I could get my hands on that had an intriguing plot that I wanted to follow. I missed the series finale, tho :(
Some time ago I went back and rewatched it, complete with the finale and all. It was nostalgic but also kinda hard to rewatch because it's so clearly made exclusively for children. It was so obscure that the only full download I could come across online even had the logo of the regional TV channel where I originally watched it as a child.
