You may question where anime came from, why was it made, why it was called anime, or possibly what purpose it served then compared to today in modern times. I’m here to confirm these questions you may have and answer them with some information gathered from my research on its originality.

Katsudou Shashin – O Primeiro Anime – Anime United

For One anime is short for animation in Japan, however it has been altered to be called Japanese animation. and it was said to have been created around 1907-1912 from “Charlie Horner” which was not as long ago as i would’ve imagined. It started from Katsuda Shashin which wasn’t an actual anime but more of a filmstrip, the creator is unknown up to today, but this was what was used until a bit later until anime first released.

First anime Made (1917)

Nakamura Gatana – This was the very First anime to come out during 1917 which was made by Jun’ichi Kouchi, this was actually found to be in an Antique shop later in 2008. It was a short 3-4-minute clip of a ronin trying to attack innocent townspeople with the dull blade only to get defeated by them in the process.

Fact: If you also know about the MSCHF red boots that were out last month this is where they came from.

Its been barely over 100 years since the departure of anime and even i was surprised since I believed it to be something made 300+ years ago.
