What's the oldest anime you've seen?
What's the oldest anime you've seen?
darin in the frannz
Probably Hakujaden or one of those rubber hose shorts from the 30s
Vampire Hunter D or Sailor Moon.
One or the other, I don't remember which came first.
Lupin the Third Green Jacket
Watching Getter Robo right now. It's alright.
Gundam 0079
I’ve never understood why Nagai’s mecha stuff is more beloved than Devilman
Castle of Cagliostro.
Astro Boy, but fuck Astro boy.
Urusei Yatsura!
...Actually way, Gundam and speed racer are both older than that show too. Fuck it, I'm sticking with Lum.
I don't know anything about Devilman. It seems kind of adjacent to Superhero type stuff which is not all that common in anime so I think it's a genre thing. I think Mazinger Z is more beloved than Getter and I'm not sure why that is either.
Astro is not anime, but japanese cartoon
(You)
>I think Mazinger Z is more beloved than Getter and I'm not sure why that is either
It came first
It's OK, wasn't even that good, but had some nice ideas.
Also, Tomino is a hack.
Speed Racer
Armored Trooper VOTOMS is the earliest for me with Gunbuster being the runner up. Both are fucking toptier and I'd reccomend them to just about anyway, whether they're mechafags or not.
I'm probably going to watch Gundam 0079 or LotGH this summer while I got time.
something by Tatsunoko here in mexico the main TV broadcaster brought a shit load of anime
so either Hakushon Daimaō or Kerokko Demetan i dont remember which one was first
Dororo. This thread ain't even hard
>there are people in Yea Forums that haven't watched a single show from the seveties
Akage no Anne, 0079, Rose of Versailles, Ashita no Joe. All I dropped after the 10 episode mark for some strange reason.
Space Battleship Yamato
Mobile Suit Gundam I guess.
Kinda boring answer but I wanted to be honest.
I really wanted it to be Dream Hunter Rem or Creamy Mami because I've been really into 80s Maho Shoujo lately
I wouldn't be surprised if half the posters here haven't seen anything before 1988
That steamboat mickey mouse when we went on some animation museum
The Rose of Versailles
OP said oldest, not newest
You tard
I mean, why should i?
Why would i gain that i don't from post-2000's shows?
>what what I gain from seeing well-regarded shows made with totally different aesthetics and themes in a different era
If you've seen something from the 70s, there's a pretty good chance you've seen a short from the 10s as well.
This would work better if people counted back how many consecutive decades they've seen at least one thing from. Then you'd remove the single outlier factor, and see where people actually stop watching stuff.
/thread
Probably something by Captain Harlock
Shorts and movies going back to, well, the first anime, Katsudou Shashin. Stuff like Kumo to Tulip, Momotaro Umi no Shinpei, etc.
In terms of actual series, probably Mahou Tsukai Sally. Haven't watched Tetsuwan Atom/Astro Boy yet but intend to one day™.
I've always been fond of the cartoony art styles of the 60s and 70s
For example, I've seen stuff from the 2010s, 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, 1970s and 1960s but not the 1950s. So I'd stop at a count of 6 and ignore the stuff earlier than that.
I watched Heidi as a kid because of my mom, it was her favorite show growing up.
The oldest would be Ashita no joe but I only watched like a third of it. I just prefer the manga.
This was supposed to be
Why should i care if something is well regarded or not? It's not like a lot of "well regarded" stuff isn't shit.
Other than that, there are probably more different anime aesthetics today than in that era.
Dis one.
>Why should i care if something is well regarded or not?
Yeah why would you ever watch an influential anime that left its mark on hundreds of shows that came after it? Don't be retarded.
>there are probably more different anime aesthetics today than in that era
There is no one singular "pre 2000s" era. Don't be retarded. If by today we mean literally right now, I'd say aesthetics are fairly limited. There was a lot more variety even 5 years ago.
Some shorts from 1910 and 1920's.
this is older than Gigantor, right?
I want to get around to watching more 60's and 70's anime but i have lost the capacity to find joy in anything and my soul is trying to leave my body
I don't know if it is the oldest but it looked and felt that way. Mobile Suit Gundam. Felt like it was created in the bronze age or something. I dropped it after two episodes. Thank god for sports shows.
>Anime
Zambot 3 (1977)
>Manga
Phoenix (1967)
Devilman (the manga at least) isn't anything like a superhero series. Maybe people hear the name and think it is (or they only watch the 70s anime, which is a completely different things, just with the character).
>movie trilogy
Every time
>I don't know if it is the oldest but it looked and felt that way. Mobile Suit Gundam.
As an adult, I find that anime, even well into the 90's, doesn't look much better than anime made in the 70's. The designs changed but 90's anime is still pretty rough. To this day, anime is low budget, choppy "limited animation" that consists mostly of still shots of characters flapping their mouths. Anime is, in general, not a good medium to be into if you desire high animation quality. I understand the mentality of mangafags more and more as time passes.
Aside from shorts like that one, gegege no kitaro
Is Zambot the old Tomino that gets kinda weird and existential at the end or is that Daitarn?
I wouldn't say Zambot 3 gets weird or anything. But it ends up being a meat grinder like some of Tomino's stuff.
Wouldn't be a Tomino show without at least a couple slaps. I could've sworn I saw a clip from an pre-Gundam Tomino show that was really out there and I was surprised. Either way I'll keep watching it because the robot design influenced TTGL.
Movie: Anju to Zushioumaru (61)
TV show completed: Shinzou Ningen Casshern (73)
And like 30 episodes into Attack No 1 (69).
>this is older than Gigantor, right?
Yep, beats Gigantor by about 9 months. Holds up surprisingly well too.
Shounen Sarutobi Sasuke (1959)
youtube.com
It's easy when it's just a movie. I'm sure anyone can find it, too. I believe it was distributed in English under the name "Magic Boy".
1973. Oldest TV anime I've watched is SDF Macross. I'm in the middle of the '71 Lupin III series right now, but not done with it yet.
youtube.com
also, some really bad experimental stuff from the 30s that I can't be assed to remember.
Based retard
This is the oldest one I've ever seen as well
Gundam 79.
Probably Galaxy Express 999. I like 80s anime, but 70s is pushing it with their shit audio quality.
The first season of Joe.
embarrassing
Tiger Mask, premiered October 1969, beating Attack No.1 by two months. Somehow we got them both on TV in the 90s.
Where are you from?
Fate/Zero
Poland.
Thank you, Polonia 1 owner, for having to fill airtime with discounted old anime.
Trigun
I marathoned it in about 3 days
Monster :D
So, Polish kids watched 70s anime in 90s. It's like a time slip.
It's a shame that Joe's sound processing is so shit. The story is super legit.
same
mine are lupin, then gatchaman, then kanishimi no belladonna.
you guys should be watching gatchaman for the soundtrack alone. the plot is repetitive as shit so far, i’m still in the beginning. youtube.com
Probably Lupin. Haven't watched too much 70s stuff. Lots of 80s tho.
As a side note one of the more memorable older shows I've watched is Space Cobra, I recommend it.
Good choice
GIGANTOR!
GIGANTOR!
GIGAAAAAAAANNNNNNNTOOOORRR!
GIGANTOR THE SPACE AGE ROOO-BOT!
HE'S AT---YOUR CO-MAND!
GIGANTOR THE SPACE AGE RO-BOT
HIS POOOWWEERRR ISSSS IN YOUUURRR HANNNDDD!
belladonna is such a beautiful movie. i saw it way back in the day from a post here on Yea Forums in like 2006 when all you could find was bootlegs of a bootleg. when they restored it in 4k on blu ray a couple years ago it made my whole year
steamboat willie is my nigga
READY TO FIGHT FOR WHATS RIGHT, AGAINST WRONG!
