| 1959, Shounen Sarutobi Sasuke But that one sucked. Also,.. 1967, Ribbon no Kishi 1967, Bouken Gaboten Shima 1968, Gegege no Kitarou 1968, Youkai Ningen Bem 1969, Ninpuu Kamui and 38 other anime along those lines, including Ashita no Joe, Cutey Honey, Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Harlock, Versailles no Bara and Gundam. They all sucked. The oldest anime I watched that did not suck was:  Daicon Opening Animations (1981) You can watch it here: |

For example, Gundam series in the 60s, 70s, 80s; Candy Candy in the 70s; Doraemon started in the 60s/70s and is still ongoing; Cardcaptor Sakura in the 90s; Ashita no Nadja in 2003; Shugo Chara in 2007; and many more.. I have been taking time to watch some of the old classic series and enjoying them. |

Lemme just crash the thread by forcing everybody to watch an anime from 1907.
Did you catch that? That's the whole thing, all three seconds of it. You can now add Katsudou Shashin to your completed list.
Seriously though, Ashita no Joe is so fucking good. My oldest unironic watch was the 1958 movie Hakujaden, though the oldest enjoyable anime I've watched was the 1968 Gegege no Kitaro.

| If movies count, then Nausicaa of Wind Valley (1982). If not, then Dragon Ball (1986). |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| I've seen the below shorts Katsudou Shashin (1907) - Saw this in 2023 Namakura Gatana (1917) The oldest full length show I've seen is Dororo to Hyakkimaru (1969). It was really good. But the title of the oldest proper show I will have seen will probably change as I got a few older shows on my watch list. Between the oldest two shows pre-1920 and Dororo, I've seen a bunch of short and experimental films. |

| The one and only, the living legend, the oldest anime ever produced (at least the oldest known) that had its premiere during the Meiji era: Katsudou Shashin. |
| Oldest is Katsudou Shashin from 1908. The second oldest one I've watched is Namakura Gatana. I've tried to find and watch every single anime I could find up till 1963. Here's proof: https://anime.jhiday.net/hof/user/H-A-M-M-Y#statistics |

| yugioh and legendary gambler tetsuya both aired in 2000 I still haven't gotten around to watching that much older anime |
| Oldest series : Dash Kappei (1981) Oldest movie: Ghost in the shell (1995) |
| Probably the original Gundam anime, which was originally aired in the late 1970s, if I recall correctly... |

| @Daviljoe193 Thank you very much. Now I can confidently say that the oldest anime I've watched is from 1907. |
| I've watched some of Daitarn 3, which was 1978. I want to watch the older Mazinger Z show from '72, but I haven't found it in any really watchable places |

| Watching on local TV when I was kid: Doraemon (1979) But I wasn't into Doraemon back then sometimes I don't watch it But for the first time serious following the show probably Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters (2000). This one I watched via local TV too For the first time binge watching is Mister Ajikko (1987) via streaming service |
| "So, what's the oldest anime you've ever watched?" Grave of the Fireflies, 1988. |

| @Timeline_man Are you interested in any other 70s mecha? Tomino made Zambot before Daitarn, and he directed half of Raideen. I recommend Babel II if you can find it. |

| I was curious about Gigantor, so I watched an episode of it on YouTube. Until that point the oldest I saw was Speed Racer. |

| @NoelleIsSleepy It's one of the series that I have enjoyed a lot. Even the title sounds cute. haha! |
|
| Lupin the third part 1, the only other things I've seen from the 70s are other Lupin things |
Attack No.1 aka Mila Superstar from 1969. |
| I've watched pretty much every 1900-1950s "anime" on this god forsaken website. At least those that are publicly available online. A large portion of them are considered lost media so /shrug |

| @Lucifrost If I can find decent quality showings of them, I'll definitely watch them. With Daitarn I had to stop because the thing I found had absolutely terrible audio. I doubt it's the fault of the show, I grew up with my dad's tapes of 70/80s cartoons. |
