Introduction to Japanese Anime


The history of anime is remarkably broad, yes, and it will take hundreds of pages. But that's part of my cause to present you, the readers, a simplified presentation of the history of anime. So in this article, my cause is to give a further simplified Wake vision for Christians about the anime and its history. For starters, the word "anime" is mainly based on the original Japanese pronunciation American word "animation". . It is the style of animation in Japan Urban Dictionary defines stereotype as the anime style are characters with proportionally large eyes and hair styles and colors that are very colorful and exotic. The plots range from very immature (kids stuff), through teenage level, to mature (violence, content and plot thick). The history of anime is more complex when a comic is simpler. While the cartoon is designed for children, anime, secondly, it is intended for adult audiences.


Although the creation of anime is mainly due to the influence of Western countries, which began in the early 20th century (when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques that have been explored in the West) has also inspired by the production of manga (comic) that was already present in Japan before production runs.

In the early 1600s, the images are not attracted to temples for longer, but on wooden blocks, known as Edo. Themes in Edo arts were less religious were often geographically and erotic. Noticing this, no doubt, he gave me this idea:

"Explicit Presentations sleeve, which later influence the anime industry, already in the 13th century It is hundreds of years before the arrival of the anime in sight!"

Manga, in large part, is a factor of how and why the anime existed. In fact, most anime and live action adaptations of manga are or comics.

Japanese designers have tried with a different style of animation, as in 1914, but the anime of glorious growth began, however, shortly after the Second World War, where Seitaro Kitayama, Oten Shimokawa and pioneer Osamu Tezuka as Japanese animators so remarkable. Among the pioneers animators meanwhile, was Osamu Tezuka, who won most of the claims and later became known as "the god of comics."

Osamu Tezuka was better known in his "Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu)" the first robot boy with an atomic heart who wanted to be a real boy. His work was outstanding and his animation style have contributed significantly to production Japanese cartoons, such as large and round eyes. Tezuka works not only focus to entertain young viewers, but also designed and initiated the creation of Animerama. it is a series of films related thematically animated adult is in his production studio Mushi late 1960s to early 1970s Animerama is a trilogy of three films: a Thousand & one Nights, Cleopatra and Belladonna the first, a Thousand & one Nights was the first animated film. erotic directed by Tezuka Osamu, the god of comics.

Although the anime made its way, it was only in 1980 that the anime has been fully accepted in the current Japan. Slice of life drama, mecha, tragic, adventure, science fiction, romance, ecchi, shounen-ai, shoujo and many kinds. While most shows anime spent more, fantastic plots superhero-space oriented opera a little more realistic with plots increasingly complex and vague definition of what is good and evil, in short, anime in its broadest sense is simply complicated.

Also, later during the past experience of Japanese animation, new media was then developed for the anime: OVA (Original Video Animation). These OAV were direct-to-home-video series or movies that met much smaller audiences. The OVA was also responsible for allowing the first animated full pornography.

As Japanese animation won more audience and acceptance around the world, a subculture in Japan, which was later called "otaku" began to develop around animation magazines such as Animage or later NewType. It all started from old paintings, block arts of wood, artistic representation of life, nature and animals in the 13th century Even these, however, evolved into moving pictures when different tests of manga and the Animation were made in the meadow was and postwar.

Even the early 13th century, handles on wooden blocks, known as Edo, were there in force, not only for the love of art, but it was I think as a means of entertainment ... a form of art and entertainment gradually evolved over time.
