I think the first actual anime I watched was Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. After that it was Fist of the North Star. Unless we're counting either Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Boondocks, then it's one of those.

I don't think Avatar and Boondocks count, IMO. I've always considered anime to be Japanese-made, particularly but not always with the distinct style that we know as anime today (as things like Chinese donghua exist). At best I would say things like Avatar or even RWBY and what not fall into an "anime-inspired" or "anime-influenced" category. I know anime as a term in Japan includes all animation in general, but that's not so much the point or content we're talking here I'd think especially as we're not looking at this from a Japanese perspective.

Honestly, it's kind of a slippery slope. I've just never been one to directly consider non-Japanese animation anime, that's all.
