Most people see Avatar: The Last Airbender as the first. Even before that however, Teen Titans had a very Anime-esque look to it. Then before that, Xiaolin Showdown used a lot of Asian-themes in their show, even if the style wasn't as close. Even Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force GO! was a cheap knock-off of Anime, going so far as to  have a giant Mecha robot if I remember correctly. Megas XLR is still my favorite Mecha American Anime. My favorite however overall is still Samurai Jack and I'm still hopelessly waiting for the movie to come out...some day.
