Earliest Surviving Anime

The Dull Sword, a two minute silent short released in 1917, is the earliest animated film  produced in Japan to have survived until the present day. It is a comedy that tells the story of a samurai who, thanks to his dull instrument, loses every time he attacks a weak opponent.
