[thumbzupgirl]

i could fall asleep watching this.

[BHUTANISPARTOFCHINA]

awesome video here wow cool indeed

[hanluy1215]

Wow. Thanks for sharing these with us

[ALfaDuB101]

wow japanese animation was light years ahead of everyone else

[RandomPrussian1871]

@ALfaDuB101 Orly???

Germans and Disney were far moar advanced at the time, but you have to consider that the Japanese didnt have Western technology until 1900, so its pretty damn impressive how fast they learned.

[ALfaDuB101]

@RandomPrussian1871orly??? id watch japanese animation everytime over disney i just think theyre better at it

[paullubliner]

@RandomPrussian1871 Try watching the  Fleischer Superman cartoons and then eat excrement.

[paullubliner]

@ALfaDuB101 See above.

[MDthornton83]

Facinating.

[MicahBuzan]

sea eagle looks amazing. i would love to see it!!

[cumulo25]

1:22 the dial is going down despite the increasing speed.

Lol FAIL

[goldenear5734]

@cumulo25 it's an altimeter...

[cumulo25]

@cumulo25 ALTIMITER?

You dumbass, Altimiters have 2 hands (a small one and a big one like a clock) and it's numbered from 0 to 9 each revolution of the big hand is 1,000 feet, each revolution of the small hand is 10,000 feet. how did you look at that and think latimiter?

[cumulo25]

... and even back then Japanese anime required no talent

[Pivotman1]

@cumulo25 /watch?v=_tkU-_3y1QU Watch that and tell me that requires no talent.

[cumulo25]

@Pivotman1 This takes more time and talent

/watch?v=B9hREHUdDVA

[Pivotman1]

@cumulo25 Lol, no that doesn't. Have you ever animated before? Oh well, I guess you cant change a haters mind.

[cumulo25]

@Pivotman1 tough talk coming from a kid who has no videos, and is named Pivotman (which actually takes even LESS talent to use Pivot)

here this is 209 drawings of my own cartoon, i animated it myself on only paper and pencil

/watch?v=DycLQywu0nU

so yes I DO animate and I edit videos.

P.S. it would take longer and more drawings to produce a cartoon like a Looney Tune from the late 30s, they draw at a higher framerate than anime making it more fluidas compared to choppy anime.

[Pivotman1]

@cumulo25 I have animated on paper, but I don't have a scanner. Why are you insulting me anyway? I thought we were just going to have a legitimate conversation. Hell, I was even going to say your animation was pretty funny. BTW I turned off my videos and Its okay that we have different taste, I still like Looneytuns and anime. I prefer sakuga because it shows awesome things that the Japanese animators can do while staying in budget while pulling off entertaining fight and movement scenes.

[MrWoodrow99]

0:35 Bitch Just Moon Prism Powered!

[PetrossDelta]

OMG, just like Disney, but more epic! ^_^

[elbethere]

I thought this film got confiscated by the US and destroyed.

[naruto52222222222222]

When anime had some creativity and now they have a kid with a black headband calling himself a ninja and suddenly everybody loves that show 

[PatrickRsGhost]

Is every cartoon subbed? Would love to get the DVD if they are.

[PrincessWendy773]

0:26- 0:38 was cute. Where can I see the whole thing?

[GroddGuerrilla]

Shit still sucks even to this day.

[leotheloser]

:(

[Zizumia1]

I like the Sea Eagle animation, GREAT detail, even though I don't belive what the film is telling me

[reaperjf]

im sorry still researching what happed in the east during WW2 i Know alot about what happed in the west

[reaperjf]

and in the end who payed the price for attacking America

[marshall9doom]

@reaperjf

America it self, cause everything that happened after became shit. Don't believe me? Get up you're ass and take a ride in different towns.

[reaperjf]

@marshall9doom take into account that japan invaded china and china was a US ally at the time so i should have said and in the end who payed the price for attacking The US and its ally's. oh we put a trade embargo on japan because we did not condone the valiance against china and it violated the open door policy we had with china's government. when japan invaded china it was their own mistake. and dont get me wrong i love anime but what japan did was just wrong.

[marshall9doom]

@reaperjf

Actually the ROC was Germany's ally before Germany was forced to aligned itself with Japan. The ROC only joined the Allies when it realize that it was the only way of defeating the Japs. And yes, what Japan did was totally wrong. No, it was stupid and wrong at the same time. It preached Pan-Asian Nationalism when in fact they were imposing Japanese Supremacy. But you forgot who was the one who strike first. Refer to Convention of Kanagawa

[EndeAller]

lol

[Tsubahi]

Wow, there was anime BEFORE Osamu Tekuza!!!

[VertigoSatan]

god damit, listen to one japanese song, and in five months I'm appy to watch this, this shit sucks you in.

[Meeperish]

Wow... it's like the first anime *.* I'm a huge otaku so yeah...

[temperex]

this is the result of some nationalistic japanese animator dropping acid and watching the last half of the wizard of oz at 4 in the morning.

[kanavah]

thank you for this document.

[aniraina21]

oh wow...nice cartoony!

[gekigold]

1:38 dramatic monkey

[ThePaladonian13]

OMG THE JAPANESE ARMY IS MADE UP OF MONKEYS,I FUCKING KNEW IT!

[ThomasJeromeNewton]

on the other hand nagaaki was very christianised and westernised as the point of contact with the portuguese and the dutch.

[gremme78]

Where can I find this dvd? Have tried amazon, shopanimedvd & justmanga but can't find it.

[Jiraiya1964]

You can try the Zakka Films website.

[Josh3455]

lol

I like how they portray white men. We look like clueless ghosts.

[Kajdanowski]

@Josh3455 There should be daemon, not a white man. So, everything has appeared, as it should be :)

[Eternalsailormeg]

wow super awesome! i read about this in one of my anime magazines |"Otaku usa".Momotaro's sea eagle the animals are brave soldiers of japan and the demons are the americans. kool,and interesting. also kinda sad at the same time.

[Neclord2000]

[FineGoldBar]

what is propaganda?are you know propaganda?nice jorks.

[Imhornydadcomeinside]

@FineGoldBar Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself. WIkipedia´defines it very well.

You should check out american propaganda how they made out Japanese people to be short and dumb, jap.

[kain1384]

Wow, knowing that Pearl Harbor was populated only by demons, it doesn't seem like such a big deal now.

[kisameitachiakatsuki]

[517342]

No John, you are the demons.

[kain1384]
