Rare Japanese Classic Anime

[tokyotowertenchi]

How about let's just watch it!

[RTZ38]

Anime is a short for "animation", but in the occidental world the word is used to refer to japanese animation.

[thepanther17fan]

They do have these in English subtitles. I watch NHK World and I saw an infomersial sell this DVD in a box set for I think about $300. There are 3-5 minute samples of a lot of old anime, and the second and third samples from this video were featured.

(Not trying to change the subject, but is it just me or does the last clip from this video look like a family of obese Mickey Mouses? e.e)

Does anyone know, when anime goes into the direction we know today. In 1920-1940 it looked just like the american cartoons, which were made at this time.

[omnipossum92]

@Grasanta I'd say the change started in manga around about when Tezuka came about.

[SlanderBlast]

@Grasanta Anime was originized in around the 20's but the current style we see today was not introduced until

(Tetswuan Atomu) in the 1960's which helped start modern anime.

[BrainTetsujin17]

@SlanderBlast

the current style of anime originated in gekiga (realistic manga) that originated in around the 70s and kamishibai (japanese traditional paper drama) that originated in the 12th (?) century.

[SlanderBlast]

@BrainTetsujin17 It may have started the artistic idea but the idea of the stroylines and character development started with Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) This is not stating manga but anime an a form of televised media other than a published work such as a manga.

Anime is ONLY JAPANESE CARTOONS U FOOLS, im sick of people getting it wrong, AMERICAN CARTOONS ARE JUST cartoons, or forms of animation,, THEY WIL NEVER BE ANIME, because Anime/Manga is a specific drawing style, far more sophisticated, just compare the anime" bleach" to spongebob, i think u will all see how different and better anime is, JAPAN MADE ANIME, the U.S. never made an anime

[omnipossum92]

@naruanimefan3 Anime is just short for animation. Therefore anime can refer to any animation no matter where it is made (basically what Terangeree said). Also anime is not just one drawing style. You say "compare Bleach to SpongeBob," but can you really say something like K-On has the same art style as something like Dragon Ball Z or Death Note, or something like SpongeBob has the same style as Watership Down (though it is British, hehe)?

[roxasfruit]

every type of cartoon in 1920 had this animation style

[inapoi]

so who was first anime ? japan or US ??? well, i like anime from japan how they are now and film like Tonari no totoro wa sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi :)

[saigokun]

This is a nice clip. Thanks for posting it. These old clips remind me of old Fleisher animation. Although some would call this Anime I prefer the term 'Japanimation' for animation produced in Japan before 1945.

[TrupiJad]

myszka miki: p

[Urgo777]

Haha Monotaro

Rare indeed

[MagicalDroplover]

loooks exactly like the Black and White Micky Mouse Cartoons O.O; Nothing like what Anime is now xD

[animationeer]

Do they have a collection of all these old animes on a single DVD? I would pay a full weeks salary just to get my hands on that! anyone can help me out?

[kyuubikitsune1994]

lol at 0:28 the person in the background appears out of no where

[r4rukku]

still influenced from disney cartoons

0:17... looks like, i know that anime... hmmm

[CodenameSailorEarth]

Sugoi! I wish I could find that DVD

[track450]

it was an animation standard back then , until disney came with a more realistic style

[Wowbagger86]

Animation started out as a American phenomena, so you are right in a way :) They very often share much of the same style.

[cessnaoneeightytwo]

0:15 norakuro look alike

[0hNoes]

you people are idiots. this isn't anime. this is so much better. these animations are in classic 20's style, and each character is well thought out and original.

[Terangeree]

You *do* know that "anime" is merely an abbreviation of the word "animation", don't you?

[1aundulxaldin]

@Terangeree

Though its really iconic and is now a common distinction that separates Western and Japanese animation.

[Ryoku75]

Its called anime because its Japanese and for whatever reason America adopted that term as an alternitive Japanimation, in a more proper sense its short for animation but for some reason many think that it just refers to Japanese "animation" and it dosen't help that buisnesses in the US embrace the term.

[AizenSamaKing]

Astroy Boy was the best, back then...

[foxgirl2006434]

cute video

[animeultrafan]

Yo where did you get tis I want to have it.

[Assiman]

Do you people even know what anime means? You all sound so retarded

[Lhatesramen]

[Ryoku75]

They probably haven't looked it up, they just stuck with what the net and TV have taught them.

[ppg07863]

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

[twentiesDOLL12213]

Wow...anime looks really different now! Thanks for this great video!

[Eigafan]

It is out! I got my copy last week. Have only watched the first DVD but so far so good!

[Eigafan]

Anybody know where stuff like this is available on DVD in the US?

[AnimeOtakuXXX]

This is more or a teaser than anything else. Would like to see more of it than just one minute!!!

[Eigafan]

They have some still shots on their website and a bit of informaiton about each of the films. Still, no video except for the same 1 min shot. Seems like the product will be out at the end of April. Not sure where they will be selling it -- only in Japan or in the States too.

[Eigafan]

The whole thing should be out on the 27th of April.

[Eigafan]

Some of these look like early Disney works. Some look very Japanese and some very Western. Anybody know when these were made? Can't wait to see them with the English subtitles.
