Dating In Japan
What is the very first anime aired in Japan? and date?
I need to know (way back) the first official,nationwide anime which aired in public TV in Japan and date if possible. I’d like to know the same thing for the first manga published. Arigatou~ ^^
Santō Kyōden’s picturebook “Shiji no yukikai” (1798) (manga)
But manga was created CENTURIES before….it was just reconized after world war II
The oldest known anime in existence was screened in 1917 – a two minute clip of a samurai trying to test a new sword on his target, only to suffer defeat. (though it was only pictures with a hand showing it)
the first PUBLISHED JAPANESE anime IN JAPAN was Momotaro’s Sea Eagles
But the REAL prize goes to….Princess Iron Fan!!! a 1941 anime chinese film
which was around….1943
