Anime

Japanese animation from the surviving shorts of 1917 to the present: the pioneers who worked alone with cut paper and chalk, the wartime commissions, Toei's studio system, Tezuka's television economics and the per-episode price that shaped the industry for sixty years, giant robots, the direct-to-video boom and its collapse, Ghibli, the shift from cel to digital, and the streaming era. It carries the craft as well as the work: key animation, storyboards, background painting, voice recording and the scores. It also carries the industry as it is, including what animators are paid and what surveys of their working hours have found. Where a regulator, court or survey made a finding, the finding is cited and dated; where something is contested, it is attributed rather than asserted.

A chronological documentary of 2,604 moments spanning 1917–2026 on Loreline.

Eras

Pioneers, The first Japanese animators, working nearly alone between 1917 and the early 1930s. Oten Shimokawa, Junichi Kouchi and Seitaro Kitayama made the earliest films; Namakura Gatana survives because a print turned up in an Osaka antique shop in the summer of 2007. Noburo Ofuji worked in cut paper and chiyogami, Kenzo Masaoka brought sound to the form. Most of what they made is lost.
Wartime, Animation made under military commission, ending with Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors in 1945, the first Japanese animated feature, funded by the Imperial Navy. The films are propaganda and are recorded here as such. Allied animation about Japan from the same years is a different subject and is deliberately excluded.
Tezuka, Mushi Production and Astro Boy from 1963. Osamu Tezuka took a price per episode that made weekly television animation possible and set the economics of the industry for decades afterwards. Limited animation as a technique and as a consequence.
Studios, The companies themselves as businesses and as buildings: Toei, Mushi, Madhouse, Bones, Kyoto Animation, Trigger, MAPPA, Ufotable, and the museums that now hold their history. Kyoto Animation lost 36 people to arson in July 2019; the studio and its work are named here, and images of the aftermath are not used.
Toei, Toei Doga from 1956, the first Japanese studio built on the American model, and Hakujaden in 1958. Yasuji Mori and Yoichi Kotabe trained a generation here, among them a young Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, and the studio's labour disputes are part of its record.
Comiket, Comic Market in Tokyo, the largest self-published comics fair in the world, held twice a year since 1975.
Fandom, Readers and viewers as participants: doujinshi, cosplay, conventions, the fansub and tape-trading era, and the arguments about piracy that came with it.
Television, The weekly series that followed, and the broadcast system that carried them.
Ghibli, Nausicaa in 1984 as the precursor, made at Topcraft before the studio existed, then Studio Ghibli from June 1985. Totoro, Mononoke, and Spirited Away, which won the Academy Award for Animated Feature in 2003.
Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979 and what followed, including the model kits that outlived the broadcasts.
Mecha, Giant machines, from Mazinger Z through Macross: the super robot as a toy-driven form and the real robot as its answer.
Music, Scores, opening and ending themes, and anisong as its own industry.
Merchandise, Figures, model kits and character goods: the retail economy that funds much of what gets made.
Voice, Seiyuu as a profession, the recording booth, and the crossover into music and public performance.
Home Video, Original video animation from 1983: work sold straight to home video, free of broadcast standards and funded by the bubble economy, and what happened to it when that economy ended.
Storyboards, Ekonte and layout, where a series is actually directed, long before anything moves.
Labour, What the work pays and what it costs. The freelance piece rate, the in-between animator's income, and the industry surveys that have measured hours and pay, cited with the body that conducted them and the year.
Digital, The move off celluloid from the late 1990s, and what changed in the image when the cel stopped existing.
Streaming, Simulcast and the global platforms, and the pressure they put on the production committee system that had financed the medium.
Documentation, Journalism, interviews and investigations about the industry and the people in it.
Sakuga, Key animation and the pipeline around it: genga and douga, the timesheet, the cut, and the animators whose individual hands are recognisable in the work.
Theatrical, Anime in cinemas and the box office records of the 2020s.
Backgrounds, Background painting, colour design and compositing: the world the cels are laid over.
