Hello, I was thinking dragonball was the oldest anime out there but it seems there might be older ones. I'm a curious little thing -.-

I can't get you spefic years right now, but Speed Racer is really old...

Star Blazers is another old one. So is Battle for Planets. I don't remember which one came out first so don't ask me....

Tetsuwan Atomu (AstroBoy) is the 2nd older anime ever made (first TV series, the first anime ever was not for TV)

My library just started stocking graphic novels (lucky me!), the only two they have so far are 1 & 2 of Astro boy ^-^

Lupin started as the main character in some French novels in the early 1900's. Then Monkey Punch adapted him into manga and then anime in the 70's, I believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
It was always a huge habit of mine the get curious on such things. Thanks alot.
Btw... isn't astroboy like one of those old, so rare that they are high in money sort of things? Just the age of them is amazing.
