Anime Through The Ages

In the late 70’s early 80’s the television series Gundam, or Gundamu, was created. The director of this anime was Yoshiyuki Tomino, and it was produced by the animation company Sunrise. When the first Gundam movie was released in 1981 people called the event the Declaration of new age of Anime.



Indeed it was, up to this point Japanese animation had been thought of as a low quality and poorly made. People were starting to realize that anime wasn’t just made by noobs for noobs, but instead something that could be enjoyed by more than just the nation’s blinded population.



Gundam was definitely the most memorable anime of its time, winning tons of awards and keeping a story line that has lasted to this very day.



These are the anime that the laid the foundation of anime today, be thankful if it wasn’t for these we may not have seen half of the beautiful things today’s Otaku view on a daily basis.
