Maybe Dororo is different and actually has a budget and artistry, but most of the [TV] stuff from the 60s is barely animated and uninteresting to me. Even with a pristine BD, I doubt I'd try out Attack No 1 or Star of the Giant for more than an episode or two. Some things are just too old for personal enjoyment. For me, it ends around the early to mid 70s for TV anime, for some it ends around Evangelion.
Dororo obviously has some kind of high caliber Tezuka pedigree bred into it, but that's apparently an exception for the time.

Star of the Giant and Attack No 1 are great sports anime (and I understand that most american anime fans hate this genre which in my opinion is a real pity). Even if they're from the late sixties. The spirit of those 2 animes is like that of Rocky (the first film) 10 years before the american film was made. They're very long series and you should watch 1-2 episodes max per day. The enjoyement will be there. Sometimes the story aspect manages to capture you in ways that are beyond the technical prowess or mediocre quality of the animation.

And again, those are probably the best among examples I could have chosen because they're among the most influential and well known. I doubt many are clamoring to see Space Ace, Perman, Osomatsu-kun or the Genie Family. But overall, there are so few 60s shows that with diligence, you could actually watch them all, if you were insane like that.

For what it's worth, Anime Sols will be streaming episodes 1-3 of Space Ace starting the 26th of July.

The good shows are always few and far between but you have choosen well. And you wouldn't need to be insane to watch Attack N 1 or Star of the Giant. Just be cool enough to watch 1 episode per day (no need to do absurd marathon viewing sessions).

The only bad thing about Dororo is that the manga was unfinished. The premise of the series was fantastic and the execution, elegant, hitting perfectly eerie and dramatic heights. I'd gladly have followed that manga for many more volumes. Does the anime end at the same point of the manga?

Actually, the anime has a conclusive ending!
And since this is early tezuka we're talking about it's not some crappy anime original ending but the ending Tezuka wanted in the first place for the manga. The anime provided him the opportunity to end it unlike the manga.
