An Extensive History of Anime

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the getting-at-the-roots dept.

Ninja Master Gara writes "While it is a bit dated, Right Stuf has a fascinating set of in depth history of anime in Japan and the west and follows the development of both cultures, including landmark series from the 60s, the 70s, the 80s and beyond, the origins of today's major anime release companies, and commentary on various aspects of the industry and culture. While it is labelled an 'Introduction to Anime', it serves as a much more interesting look back for long time anime fans. Right Stuf also has a great timeline of important releases."

    Sheesh, there must be some really touchy moderators around here. I thought it was genuinly funny.

    The linked article, while informative (I didn't know Nadia was so popular, for example), is really just an infomercial for Right Stuf (an anime distributor).

    So I'll offer a plug of my own. I like AnimeNation...they have a great news section and a Q&A column "Ask John."

  3. TO anyone reading the above by Raul654 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I do not normally respond to trolls, but in this case, I feel compelled to. That post is quite possibly the dumbest post I have ever seen. To anybody reading this -- I strongly encourage you not to bid on the above account -- please do not encourage the corruption of what slashdot represents by allowing people to buy and sell online handles.
