Okay this will be a little random, but did you guys new that Astro Boy was the first official anime made??
Oh yeah, and actually it came out in 1963, I think. While there were even before that some animated works of Japan, this was official, because it divided the style of western to the anime one. This anime by then had many version and releases. Not something I would look now, but it was an interesting thing to hear. xD

Yup, this guy was the first anime character ever!
