It's amazing how far animation and other things have come. We don't really notice it, but everything is rapidly changing; anime that we watch now will probably resemble this in 50 or so years

[BrainTetsujin17]

@Druidly

they say that the current style of anime originated in gekiga (realistic manga) that originated in the late 1960s and kamishibai (traditional japanese narrative art) that originated in the 12th (?) century. if you have never seen kamishibai, check out "What Is Kamishibai?" on my channel.

[beavus1000]

wow this is big boom for me..i watch anime and read manga for so long that i almost forgot about it's history :(

[BrainTetsujin17]

the oldest Japanese animation in existence is Katudo Shashin (1907) and Namakura Gatana (1917).

[maporcaputt]

HAHA ORIENTAL EVER COMBAT MOVIE ;)

[Tmathh]

its amazing to see shit like this from the past...crazy how far its come

[ZeroKiryuLovea]

The first anime series was "Otogi Manga Calendar" (1961 - 1964, 312 episodes) It was also the first anime to be broadcast on T.V

[BHUTANISPARTOFCHINA]

awesome video here wow cool indeed i think

[TehJPlayhouse]

The first anime was "Imokawa Mukuzo Genkanban no Maki" which came out in 1917. As for manga, the first manga was "Eshinbun Nipponchi" which came out in 1874. Just thought I would let you know. :)

[ivantdang]

OH MY GOD its NARUTO

[nausycka]

Esto es realmente mejor que Naruto :P

[dkmax32]

weird how we dont have anime like this anymore with complicated story lines to follow about a hero lol jk

[ONS3Tnow]

Cool.

[ONS3Tnow]

@Grouchy2day yup, This is basically The Very 1st Anime ever made. :)

[Grouchy2day]

"Imokawa Mukuzō Genkanban no Maki" is the first professional Japanese animation film ever made. It was made by Ōten Shimokawa in 1917. Because there are no films or photographs left now, exact contents or animation techniques are unknown.

[jeboczek123]

first anime ever was made in 1917 its something about "makuzo imokawa the doorman"

[hentaisexfreak4life1]

awesome video here wow cool indeed

[syrayian]

Now stay tuned for 83 years of awesomeness...

[s9729883a]

*silent movie appears* and then a subtitle appears which said OVER 9000!

[JasnoGT]

Does he go super sayian?

[mellyvel1]

what i read its that the first cartoon in the world was created in china in 1912 but they stopped doing cartoons and japan made their first anime in 1917, i dont know if i right or wrong.....

[MDthornton83]

Wow. This looks great for a cartoon made in 1928.

[changsterkiller]

OMG THIS IS ANIME cool

[malcolmmorin]

Japanese ruin Anime. Nuff said.

[ichad32531]

can someone tell me whats the different of old anime and old cartoon it looks the same -_-

[puronicoya]

anime is just simply animation in japan. i could draw nickdean style in japan and it still is anime. there is no difference. only thing different is the japanese art style. not all artists draw the same either. compare Tezuka to Inoue and you'll see what i mean.

[car7000]

Katsudo Shashin is the oldest japanese animation (anime) it's from 1907, it's here in youtube

[initialdody]

This is NOT the oldest Anime. The oldest anime is Imokawa Mukuzo : Genbakan no Maki who was released in 1917.

Prior to that, seceral homemade anime for home-used only like Katsudō Shashin also exist.

[Greenmarthy]

There's older one from 1917 ;)

[Sunkist02]

Better than Lucky Star.

[0YTMan]

The firts anime ever was Nakamura Gatana, from 1917.

[coolguylstan]

nice to see anime didnt make any sense back then either. Cool find!

[Lisdead17]

TBH! the first anime to come out was in 1907 of a chinese boy writing characters

[posthumanfetus]

That samuria is kind of a dick.

[carolvelasquez51]

Was that an evil Jew in the beginning?

[belly8900]

but my question is why did Japan change the drawing? it was cute way back then!

[belly8900]

lol thats freaking adorable!!! XD

[ShadowZero1357]

The first anime series was Astro boy uhh was it 1940 or was it 1945 :0

[HuggableSpongebob]

LOVE IT! It's cute, old and funny! Oh 20's! You never let me down!

[songokukingdomhearts]

its kenshins grandfather attempting to do the AMAKAKERU RYUU NO KIRAMEKI

[RokuAndSevenKyoki]

even back then anime was awesome :D

[Ruldolphmaker]

compare 1927: humor no sound or color

today (2011) huge boobs humor, vivid color, awesome stuff

anime ftw



[KauKatKay]

This is probabaly not the first ever, but possibly the oldst still in existence or available to the public.

[oliviaw83]

this was so cute :D

[naila3334]

awsome i say my childhood 

[GeniusIncarnate0]

The music sounds like it was added in after wards. Which makes sense since this anime looks like it was made during the silent film age for Japan. And considering that the oldest anime was made in 1917, Namakura Gatana. This anime looks like it was made a little after, so I think the date may be right.

[examae15]

This might actually be the first anime clip ever, I was bored today so I did some research on the history of anime and it said that the first anime was about 2 minutes long and was about a samurai testing the abilities of his new sword (of course this was wikipedia so not very reliable) and I guess this might relate to that some how. But the only thing thats wierd is that it said the oldest anime was made in 1917 and your saying this was made in 1928...... could you have gotten the wrong year?

[Virdelet]

@examae15 I took the date from "anime planet" the site .

thanks bro for what you wrote

i replied so that your comment would stay on top ! :D

[AnalniRovokopac]

@examae15 "Namakura Katana" is the anime you're talking about

[alexnzxVersion2]

@examae15 No You are right, the oldest anime ever was made in 1917 and was titled Namakura Gatana

[TheHawkeyedOne]

@examae15 Not the first piece of animation, that would be Emile Chole's Phantasmagorie from 1902. However, this does look to be original. I wouldn't consider it anime or manga in the traditional sense; that brand of animated stems from the likes of Osuma Tezuka, and is influenced by the artistic psyche of post WWII japan (Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, etc.) This is a good find though, really good animation quality for the time period.

[DarthChrisB]

@examae15 this is not the first anime. that's the first: watch?v=nlC0_gh0FpE from 1917 just as you said

[MULTIAWSOMEONE]

@examae15 i looked up that the first anime was made in 1917

source~wikipedia

[YourShatteredHope]

1917 first year

[yotaruvegeta]

No, this would not be the oldest anime ever. I have never heard of this one, either.

[3lliaa]

nice

thanks
