@specialforces69 Well... It depends on how the word is used. The thing is that the word "anime" is often used to refer to cartoons from Japan. Even today, the word is very common.
Wow. So this is one of the earliest Japanese anime cartoons in existence? Looks a lot like an old-school Disney cartoon. Still though, this is interesting. Even for a cartoon that came out in 1933.
Interesting! Some characters are a copy of Disney animation; a father and boy are Mickey Mouse without ears. However, samurai remind me of Kabuki actors: the way he speaks and his motions. Music is a traditional Japanese one, so it is natural that it sounds like noise to foreign people.
As Classic as classical animation gets.. cool soundtrack, cool animation(even for todays lazy, computer reliant animators),,, too bad it takes so long to download and stream
I never know such as old Japanese animation. This animation impressed by Disney animation. However, This Animation still live Japanese old child story. So, I am very impressed by this animation. By the way, this animation was made by Toei, witch is "ONE PIECE" or "Dragon ball" maker. historically, this animation is very important, I think.
This cartoon actually has better animation than astro boy even though astro boy was made in the 60's and this one in the 30's.Astro boy had some pretty crappy animation.
To all of you people fighting about how Japan or America's style is better....fuck off please. No one wants to see such a discussion here. Either you say something nice or bad about the VIDEO or you leave. Or whatever, i'm not a cop.
@sega31098 anime is a style. It originated in japan, but this does not look or move like anime, it's much to smooth and was probably made at a higher production value than a typical anime cartoon.
In a way, it's just still pictures with lots of noise in the background! I see what you mean by NO ANIMATION.
But it seems a recent phenomena, I remember Anime from the early 90's where the characters had real human expressions and there was in fact MOTION in them. Manga stuff, mainly. Maybe it's two different things? I don't know...
Naruto, for instance, not a fan myself. But I understand why someone would like it. It's fun and crazy. Just not my cup of tea.

My thing is more South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, etc... but mainly those three. I love the witty comedy on those shows, although the lack of animation is really annoying at times. Sometimes the only movement characters have is their eyes blinking.
I loves Looney Toons when I was younger. The sheer craziness of it all. Daffy Duck was my fav.
One question: did Ub Iwerks invent Mickey Mouse and sold it to W. Disney or was it an equal creation by both? I never understood that...
Ko means fox(whitie) and RI means Asian racoon-dog(Blackie) and both of them were so believed that they could easily hallicinate people(or oppornents) unreal with a sort of natural magical power(not so too malicious) in Japan ancient. Ugoki-E means animation and Tate-Hiki means mutually be witched.
Thanks for posting this very nice early animation from Japan. I liked the music and was amazed by several of the camera shots, especially the birds-eye-view during the fight scene.
It his really interesting to see these very old roots of modern anime from an era when the animation industry was only a small cottage industry in Japan.
The animation here looks about the same as American animation from that era. I wonder when Japan began developing the current anime technique they have now...the 40's? 50's?
@kc86er It really started with Osamu Tezuka, and even then it was due in part to limited TV budgets in the 1960's that necessitated the way animation in Japan would be handled on TV and movies from then on.
@kimmokimmu yo asscrack must be dirty cuz you shootin a whole bunch of shit right now muff.not all new cartoons are bad fool. and mickey and bugs' films in the past were okay back then so deal with it they were still great. greatness comes in all shapes sizes and colors fool. and snow white is just bull shit you like i bet. and anime is unoriginal nigga you probably seen 15 and i assume more and yet you still haven't grasped it's the same shit. well shit likes shit i guess
@pauletteking I agree that american cartoons are good,but they are mostly all old cartoons like looney tunes,disney cartoons,and all the other 30's,40's,50's,60's,80's,and 90's cartoons(I skipped the 70's because those was the worst times for cartoons.).American cartoons today suck,but you at least gotta give credit to anime,it started a revolution and has many memorable characters like in warner bros and disney.The only thing that sucks though is that anime is to perverted sometimes.
@kimmokimmu anime is so unoriginal it there's a book about it. if you see 1 anime you seen 99.9 percent of the rest. oh wait i mean 100 percent. and disney and warner brothers make the best things in the world do you see anime more in the world than mickey mouse or bugs bunny no you don't anime dick rider. cuz um they've been around way longer than most shitty anime and hm they're still going. and anime i doubt it'll last longer than 10-20 maybe 30 yrs. yawn i'm right you're wrong cartoons win
@kimmokimmu most disney and warner brothers stuff meaning 90 percent is better than any fag ass anime could ever be. and that fag justin beiber is gay and whack muff. and story line isn't what makes a show good char. depth man go swimming if you want depth nigga. and horrible taste is a retarded retard who dick rides anime to the point he or she or it acts like they know everything about japan. you got like a million anime dvds i bet my bottom dollar. and dude it's clear as tape you do
@kimmokimmu no it doesn't and van gough can go to hell for all i care i don't even know the muff. and story doesn't make a show great just look at warner brothers asshole. and anime is whack and for as anime fans call it "emoes" talkin bout death and sex and domination 24/7. man i bet you go to those convetion things to don't. american cartoons are amazing and cartoons aren't entirely made for kids anyway the censors ride your case if you go over the top. look at past and present ones you'll see
@kimmokimmu american stuff is better no matter what. anime uses the excuse of battle or "better" (in anime geek language) animation or drawing style to suck you in when anime has the same fucking faces and same voices. only a retard like you wouldn't notice this shit on the first shot
Hmm... A contest of magical skill between a tricky Tanuki and and a magic fox who materializes guns out of thin air? Someone wanna tell me WHY this isn't a series yet?!
The only way I can think of to make that more awesome is to have them team up to fight the Yakuza... in a film noir style... also the Yakuza is being run by demons.
Did some research last night, and it's based on the folk tale of The Fox and the Tanuki. The Tanuki is sort of a raccoon-dog creature native to Japan.
this proves to those anime fans that say anime is not a cartoon that it is in fact a cartoon. anime means cartoon in japanese language. and don't say "i mean the modern anime not this old stuff" bull shit you know anime is just cartoons. and stop saying anime is better than american cartoons cuz not all american toons are bad. watch warner brothers, disney, van buren, fleischer, sorry if i'm forgetting any
@pauletteking i've never heard anyone say anime is not a cartoon. It should be pretty obvious that anime is short for animation, which is what all of these shows are.
@pauletteking i've never heard anyone say anime is not a cartoon. It should be pretty obvious that anime is short for animation, which is what all of these shows are. Whats wrong with liking anime more? I definitely think that japanese anime is better than american cartoon. Anime has a wider audience, and appeals in ways that american cartoons can't. Of course there are still great american cartoons still being made (The Boondocks! and who doesn't love Family Guy?) but there's more anime.
@treez878 dude a hate adult cartoons cuz they suck. family guy is so over rated and played out it needs to die. the boondocks is cool though. it can live as long as it wants. and anime is not so memorable that you can remember it five years late without seeing during such. anime is shit that you have to buy the merchandise for in order to remember. and anime is like a goth kids paridise. and i've heard people say anime is not a cartoon. just look on youtube. american stuff is better than anime
@pauletteking What you wrote is one of the stupidest thing I've ever read on Youtube. Why the hell are you generalizing and insulting an entire nation's worth of animation? Because that's all anime is, Japanese animation. Are you seriously insulting Miyazaki's work, Tezuka's work, shows like Planetes, Denno Coil, Noein, Baccano, and Lain just because the only anime you saw was Naruto. Also, the people who say anime is not cartoon are moron, this is youtube after all, that should be obvious.
@janesaysso naruto is awesome and dbz yugioh and beyblade. but anime sucks in general. cuz it talks about death and you know it. it talks about death at every turn or whatever. and i bet you have a hell hole of dvd boc sets don't you? and those studios yu named i have no idea what you talkin about cuz i ain't a anime fucker like you. and i know that if people who say anime isn't a cartoon are dumb and i'm glad you're not a fan that says otherwise.
@BankaiIchigo12345 "Anime style" hadn't been invented yet. In 1933, Japanese people were watching American cartoons like Mickey Mouse, Silly Symphonies, Felix the Cat and Betty Boop, and their animation style reflects that. In fact, "anime style" is, in many ways, an imitation of it. The big eyes in anime come from American cartoon characters.
@BankaiIchigo12345 It does. Modern anime developed in the 1960's thanks to Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy. The "big eye" look is actually something that he adopted from the cartoons I mentioned before.
I surely would not show this to a child unless I was planning to stay up with him/her all night because this thing scared the hell out of him/her. I would not watch this at night by myself. Man, this is creepy.
@RTZ38 anime is just a fancy way to say cartoon. japanese cartoons usually have more quality than american, and most of the best american that have received awards like the batman series of the 90s were animated in asia. there are also serious and sureal animations with a extremely high quaity yu would expect, at least if you have in mind the cliche of anime in mind. watch this: watch?v=5lqX00TVKj0 take your time to seek quality anime, if you like animations, and youll be pleased
1933? This must be very rare. The reason why I say that is because I heard a rumor that most of the films made before 1945 in Japan were supposedly destroyed due to the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. Of course I could be wrong. Feel free to correct me.
@YungReg88 The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the firebombing of Tokyo, didn't help much. Neither did the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Between those two events, Japan has lost most of its early film history.
This Definitely bears a striking resemblance to the Bimbo cartoons done by the Fleischers. It's definitely likely that they were influenced by the Fleischers. They were pioneers in the field after all. Even Walt Disney was influenced by them.
Love the old japanese music it sounds so cool[= its come a long way now a days when you watch japanese cartoons (anime) all you here is j-rock and j-pop.
Where did you read or view? Can you read Chinese character? I had been studying Chinese literature since high school student age in original Chinese character. But I've never read such stories.
Transformation into human of fox and raccoon dog is Japanese folklore, (though I know a Chinese story of white snake which transformed itself into woman).
This is WAAAAAAAAAYY better than Dragonball and Pokemon, and all that other BS that';s being put out now! That was 1 of the most Surreal cartoons I've ever seen.
BTW,before one year the appearance of this work, in 1932, the first pornography animation "Suzumi Fune" was produced. This porn anime was banned at once and the producer Hakusan Kimura was arrested by police. I am looking for it....
A kitsune disguises itself as a samurai and spends the night at a temple where two tanuki live. The little tanuki discovers the kitsune in samurai form, and tells his father (or grandfather) about it. And since tanuki and kitsune are natural enemies in Japanese folklore, a fight ensues. I don't really understand all that they're saying either, but I got all I needed to know from watching this film a bunch o' times, and reading my Anime Encyclopedia.
Do they have a collection of all these old Japanese animes on a single DVD? I would pay a full weeks salary just to get my hands on that! anyone can help me out?
Thanks to war and natural disasters, so few of these early treasures survive. But you can own eight of them on "The Roots of Japanese Anime Until The End of WWII" by ZakkaFilms. I got this DVD for my birthday last year, and I highly recommend it. You may also view the trailer here on YouTube.
Even today the animation is stunning. The entertaining plot and use of classic Japanese folklore contributes to the appeal as well, even if I don't know what they're saying!
i thought films were silent in 1933?

1933? This must be very rare. The reason why I say that is because I heard a rumor that most of the films made before 1945 in Japan were supposedly destroyed due to the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. Of course I could be wrong. Feel free to correct me.
YungReg88 11 months ago
@YungReg88 The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the firebombing of Tokyo, didn't help much. Neither did the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Between those two events, Japan has lost most of its early film history.

This Definitely bears a striking resemblance to the Bimbo cartoons done by the Fleischers. It's definitely likely that they were influenced by the Fleischers. They were pioneers in the field after all. Even Walt Disney was influenced by them.

@ArchetypeXE
Where did you read or view? Can you read Chinese character? I had been studying Chinese literature since high school student age in original Chinese character. But I've never read such stories.
Transformation into human of fox and raccoon dog is Japanese folklore, (though I know a Chinese story of white snake which transformed itself into woman).

@pooryorik3
Let me sum it up for you:
A kitsune disguises itself as a samurai and spends the night at a temple where two tanuki live. The little tanuki discovers the kitsune in samurai form, and tells his father (or grandfather) about it. And since tanuki and kitsune are natural enemies in Japanese folklore, a fight ensues. I don't really understand all that they're saying either, but I got all I needed to know from watching this film a bunch o' times, and reading my Anime Encyclopedia.

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

Thanks to war and natural disasters, so few of these early treasures survive. But you can own eight of them on "The Roots of Japanese Anime Until The End of WWII" by ZakkaFilms. I got this DVD for my birthday last year, and I highly recommend it. You may also view the trailer here on YouTube.
