I was wondering if any one knew what officially the first anime was.
From what I have gathered, I think it was ‘Tetsuwan Atom’ (or ‘Astro Boy’), originally created in 1963.
Does any one know for sure?

Gee, never thought about that. O_o Speed Racer is pretty old too, isn't it?

The first anime movie was "Hakuja-den" ("White Snake Legend") October 22, 1958*
The first TV anime was "Mittsu no Hanashi" January 5, 1961
The first OAV was "Dalos, Dalos Hakaishirei" December 12, 1983
Astro Boy was the first 30 minute television series and started
January 1, 1963
*According with Julián Ortega, "Hakuja-den" was barely the first long anime movie in color, but the first long anime movie was "Momotarou no Umiwashi" (The Sea Eagles of Momotarou), a propagandistic film made in 1943 as a representation of the Japanese attack to Pearl Harbor ocurred on Sunday, December 7th 1941.
