	History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Anime is a word that was derived from the English word 'animation' and has been adopted to describe the style all over the world.
		He is known by many and the "Grandfather of All Anime" because he was and is one of the best-known authors of manga (the comic books that are where most anime TV series start) of all time.
		Though anime was produced during the late 60's and throughout the 70's the 1980's were called "The golden Age of Anime" by fans and the 1990's were nicknamed "The New Age of Anime." During Tezuka's first years as an animator one of his role models was Walt Disney and his company.

		Anime refers to Japanese animation, often characterized by stylized colorful graphics depicting vibrant characters in a variety of different settings and storylines, aimed at a variety of different audiences.
		Since anime or animeshon is used to describe all forms of animation, Japanimation is meant to distinguish Japanese work from that of the rest of the world.
		Anime found its primitive beginnings as five-minute animated shorts in 1917 that were created by individuals inspired by American and European animators.

		Collectively, these elements of religion and mythology are crucial to anime and manga, whether they are an important aspect of the story, or simply are part of the implicit cultural background material.
		To the extent that anime is a production and reflection of Japanese culture, it carries Eastern religion as its default mode of supernaturality.
		If you want to know more about the spiritual and religious aspects of anime, a little work in the library will go a long way or, if you'd like, you can even begin on the web.

	@anime! v1i2: Q&A with Otaku Unite! Director Eric Bresler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Mike Tatsugawa, the founder of Anime Expo, told me about how there are at least a few film crews that show up at Expo every year with the same intentions as myself, but nothing ever seems to come of their aspirations.
		Anime has been imported to the U.S. since the early 60's and organized fandom has been around since the late 70's so its about time someone properly documented the existence of this unique subculture.
		Macek helped promote anime in the U.S. to a greater degree than anyone before or perhaps since his dealing with Robotech, thus the interview was great since he was able to answer specific anime-related questions while simultaneously giving us an outside opinion of the subculture's current status.

	History of Anime
		In 1917, the first anime shorts were created, usually based on old Japanese folk-tales, and their average length was around two minutes.
		Then, during the 1930's and the coming of war, anime turned more militaristic, and was often used by the government as propaganda.
		At this time, anime had seen a comeback, with series similar to their outdated predecessors, like Space Battleship Yamato, which became the ever-popular Macross, or as Americans know it, Robotech.

	AZ:UK - History of anime
		Though much of the anime available outside Japan were originally made for video, the boom in anime was fuelled by cinema features.
		The 1990s saw a boom in "retro anime" as producers realised that the Astro Boy generation would now have children of their own.
		Capitalising on nostalgia, anime were made with a deliberately old-fashioned feel, including adaptations of Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack (1993) and Mitsuteru Yokoyama's Giant Robo (1992).

	Introduction to Shoujo Studies: History of Shoujo Anime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		This anime sported a concept that was perhaps unoriginal (mostly a copy of the sitcom Bewitched, which aired in 1964) but became popular among girls because it presented a female lead character for the first time.
		From that moment forward, most anime aimed at women would be created by women, and it was dramas like Candy Candy and Rose of Versailles in the mid and late '70s that proved to the network executives that this particular form of animation could be a commercially viable product.
		It appears that "unisex" anime is going to be among us for a long time; that is a shame, since many of the products which have been a result of cross-pollination between genres end up having such a hard time deciding what they want to be, and the results are mediocre at best.

		One of the earliest anime remakes: Astro Boy's Adventures were retold in a new, higher-quality, more melodramatic 52-episode serial in 1980-81.
		There are anime-fan magazines devoted to just the anime video market, which list an average of 40 to 45 new releases per month, one-third of which are brand-new OAVs, with the rest being reissues and video releases of theatrical, TV and foreign titles.
