THE HISTORY OF ANIME: A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
Anime boasts a rich history spanning over a century. The first confirmed example of anime dates back to 1917 with the short film "Namakura Gatana," which had a runtime of just four minutes. Since then, anime has experienced numerous highs and lows, facing various challenges both within Japan and on the international stage. Today anime has grown to such a stage that people are buying anime merchandise.
The Evolution of Anime
Screen Rant's video summary of anime's history reveals its evolution from its humble 1917 beginnings to the diverse animation styles we see today. Throughout this evolution, numerous artists have pushed the boundaries of storytelling within the anime medium. Anime genres are as limitless as art itself, offering a vast spectrum of artistry and styles determined by the creators.
The Laborious Process of Creating Anime
The production process of anime is technically similar to Western animation, requiring an incredible amount of time and effort. The creation journey involves writing stories, storyboarding, workshopping, creating animatics, voice acting, and animation. This intricate process can take months or even years to complete, involving entire studios of artists typically led by a director.

Despite advancements in digital technology that aid in the creation of animation, the labor-intensive nature of anime production remains. Digital tools have enhanced the stylistic possibilities with advanced lighting techniques and more, but they haven't reduced the artists' workload.
The Imagination Behind Anime
What truly sets anime apart is the boundless imagination of its creators. The medium allows artists to push limits across every genre imaginable, opening doors to stories that could not be told otherwise. The combination of artistic vision and technical prowess makes anime a unique and compelling form of entertainment. This form of entertainment has grown to reach people’s hearts and wardrobes through Naruto merchandise, onepiece merch, demonslayer merch and more.
