Which anime series was the first to be aired on Japanese TV? The first animated segments seem to go back all the way to 1907, and most of those older segments only got broadcast in cinemas and the likes. Even after those, most animated segments on TV consisted of short animations of roughly a few seconds.

So with that my question: Which anime series was the first to be aired on Japanese television? And I am asking about multi-episode series, or multi-segment series.
I assumed you mean first TV series anime.


  Mighty Atom became the first popular anime television series in 1963. Contrary to popular belief, Atom was not the first anime series broadcast in Japan; that honor falls to Otogi Manga Calendar, which began broadcasting in 1962. 


From Otogi Manga Calendar Wikipedia Page


  Otogi Manga Calendar (おとぎマンガカレンダー Otogi Manga Calendar?) was a black and white Japanese anime series aired from 1961 to 1964. It was the first anime series ever televised.


Sorry if I understood your question wrongly.
