ACTUALLY, the first anime aired in the United States on television was "Mittsu no Hanashi" or in English "Three Tales", in 1961. ;)

Astro Boy was NOT the first anime to air, as it was dubbed and released in 1963, which was also the year it was aired on US television.

Get your facts straight, people.

Either Akira or Speed Racer as a series back in the 70's would be my guess.
