I always see posts on people saying "I never knew it was an anime until later!"
Here's on I NEVER would have thought was an anime... until I randomly browsed Anime New Network.
Maya the Bee:

Back in my YTV days I would watch this almost every mornind and I can still remember the theme song :/ "Maaaaaaaya! Maya the bee!" with the tune and everything... never would've thought it was anime :/
Anyone else have this look familiar to you? It was similar to Bugs Life cause it was about bees and grasshoppers... *sigh* grasshoppers seem to be the enemy in all those movies.

I remember Super Book! I practically grew up watching it! I didn't realize it was an anime until about 3 years ago. Man, was I slow!

MAYA THE BEE WAS AN ANIME?!
I would have never guessed! I loved that show on Nick Jr (When Nick JR actually had good programming!)

The great thing about the ANN is that if you aren't certain if something is anime
or not they have a section in their enclyopedia called:Related But Not Anime.

Yeah I checked that out and never noticed they had NEARLY that many live-action movies based off anime! Several Lupin III movies? Never knew...

Yeah, and there were many live action movies and tv series that became anime or manga too... though many never made it here.

It took me forever to find out that Superbook and The Flyinghouse were anime. And a movie called Scamper the Penguin...That movie shaped my life!

Personally the one live action movie based on an anime that I'd like to see is
Boogiepop And Friends since it's supposed to be the prequel to Boogeipop Phantom.

I watched that, Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, Superbook, Flying House, Lil' Bits, and the Noozles when I was a child. I had no idea any of them were anime until a couple of years ago.
