If you ever see End of Eva...the TV series ending will look like a godsend.
 
...elemental thing?

If you mean is it purely mech, then no it isn't. The first half is mech heavy, bu the second half is a lot more into reason and why things are the way they are.
 
One of my silly questions.~ But does anyone know what was the very first anime created?
 
Ahh, someone who did research could answer that... ^^;
I don't think there are many who truly would know that straight forward. XD
 
*searched* This is what I got...

During World War II the entire Japanese nation was mobilized. The people were forced to conform to the government's demands or pay the ultimate price. According to Frederik Schodt's book, Manga Manga: The World of Japanese Comics, those who failed to cooperate were punished by "preventive detention, bans on writing, and social ostracism, while those who recanted were rewarded with rehabilitation programs and support from the community...artists who had spent most of their lives criticizing the government did an about-face and offered wholehearted support to the militarists" (Schodt, 55).

Around 1940, many organizations for artists and cartoonists were formed. Among them were the New Cartoonists Association of Japan (Shin Nippon Mangaka Kyokai) and the New Cartoonists Faction Group (Shin Mangaha Shudan). During that time, the government used the few remaining cartoonists, who were not banned from working or who were not in the army, to influence the people through their artwork by creating comic strips filled with propaganda to use against the nation's enemies.

The Master Brings Life to Animation:

Back in Japan, after World War II, a young aspiring artist named Osamu Tezuka became a cartoonist and released his first work Shintakarajima (known in English as "New Treasure Island"). As a child, Tezuka was a fanatical fan of Walt Disney's early animations. Many were impressed by Tezuka's original style. However, it was not until Tezuka released his ultimate work Tetsuwan Atomu (Astro Boy) that he achieved success; he was pronounced "the Father of Manga and Anime".

When Tezuka made a name for himself in the industry, he managed to establish his own production company in 1962. He formed Mushi Productions, where he released his best work, Astro Boy. With Astro Boy, Many recognized Tezuka's original style and approach that was new to the entire industry. The style of his illustrations and characters came from French and German cinema. His characters exploded with life and emotion, and his stories would unfold themselves on hundreds of pages. By 1963, Astro Boy crossed international borders and was premiered on NBC stations all over the US and was still successful with American audiences.

After the success of Astro Boy, Tezuka released another work, Jungle Taitei (Kimba the White Lion). There was much controversy in the past about this anime after Disney released a similar version with the movie The Lion King with Simba as the main character. Although Disney denies this, many believe that Disney stole the anime and recreated it with their own version. (To learn more about the conflict between Disney and Tezuka visit Tezuka's "Jungle King" and Disney's "Lion King").

Forgive me if it is not true, I am not an expert -.-

Nope, Astro Boy isn't nearly close to being the first. The first came around 30 years before. Momotaro and the Peach Boy, it was a short seven minute movie I think, made in 1918. There are no pictures of it since it was thought to have been ruined in World War II.`
 
*googles it*...well i found out that coke has an anime commercial...ah, I give up! I cant find it, but I'd think DBZ(also cause its the first one I ever watched...or was it card captor sakura?...hm....)

*is clueless*
 
Well, DBZ isn't as old compared to Astro Boy, and Card Captor Sakura isn't even what I'd call old. It goes much furthur back.

Kazu is on the right track, since I don't have a clue how far back Japanese animation's history goes. X.x
 
It's hard to really get it actually. Most of the animation before the war is gone now...so they can only go on records and such.
