I have come to the realization that, in order to make my new thread, I require the assistance of others. Essentially what I'm looking for is anything you know about the history of anime or animation. This can include things you know off the top of your head, things you've found in books, links you have to internet sites that help, etc. So any help would be appreciated. And yes, I am doing the above as well but my time to do so isn't unlimited so your help is nice.

3nodding Random quotes:

"While western animated films had appeared in Japan as early as 1909, and Japanese animators began to create their own work by 1915, animation as a comercial art form really got started in the postwar period with popular, feature-length animated films produced by such studios as Toei, a company primarily famous for its live-action films. Perhaps the most important date in Japanese animation history, however, is 1963, the year that Japan's first animated television series, Osamu Tezuka's legenday Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atomu), appeared."

"Tezuka followed Astro Boy with the color series Kimba the White Lion (Janguru Taitei, 1964), which also became a majro hit, and, by the late 1960s, animated television series were securely established in Japan."

ANIME from Akira to Princess Mononoke, by Susan J. Napier. (quotes taken from page 16)

It's pretty good, but half the book is about Napier's obsession with the art of hentai xd . It's got some great information though.

Quotent quotable: (my personal favorite thus far)

Dr. Napier
In 1993 the Japanese critic Ueno Toshiya made a visit to Sarajevo in war-torn Serbia. Wandering through the bombed-out city was a crumbling wall with three panels. On the first was drawn a picture of Mao Zedong with Mickey Mouse ears; the second had a slogan for the Chiappas liberation group, the Zapatistas,emblazoned on it. But when he came to the third he was 'at a loss for words. Incrediably, it was a large panel of a scene from Otomo Katsuhiro's Akira. Against the crumbling walls of the collapsing group of buildings, that "mighty juvenile delinquent" Kaneda was saying, "So it's begun!"'


Anime from Akira to Princess Monoke by Dr. Susan J. Napier, page 4 and 5

Like Mikashi said, the book does talk about hentai, but I would hardly say it spends half the book obsessing over it. Thirty to thirty-five pages maximum ... In other words about a 1/5th. xd (maybe a 1/4th ninja )

Ok, ok I was exaggerating xd .. I just found it alarming that when I got the book in the book in the mail. My mom was right there, and flipped directly to the picture from Urotsukidoji (tentacle-ness).

Mom: So, how's your book?
Mika: *flip flip* eek GOOD!.. yes, very good!
