History of Anime:

Anime, a distinctive style of animation originating in Japan, has a rich and


diverse history that has captivated audiences worldwide. The roots of anime can be
traced back to the early 20th century, with the first Japanese animated films
emerging in the 1910s. The industry gained momentum in the post-World War II era,
influenced by Western animation styles. However, it wasn't until the 1960s that
anime truly began to take its unique form with the works of Osamu Tezuka, often
referred to as the "God of Manga." Tezuka's iconic creation, Astro Boy, marked a
turning point in the industry, establishing many conventions that would become
synonymous with anime. The 1980s and 1990s witnessed the global rise of anime, with
classics like Akira and Studio Ghibli's masterpieces gaining international acclaim.
The 21st century brought about further globalization, with anime becoming a
mainstream entertainment phenomenon. The medium diversified, catering to various
genres and audiences, and streaming platforms made it accessible to a global
fanbase. Today, anime continues to thrive, with a vast and ever-expanding catalog
of titles that showcase the evolution of this unique and influential art form.
