In conclusion, throughout my extensive research that was conducted I was able to gather the origins of anime. I was able to reach to the fact that the style of anime was similar to that of Disney as well as other previous anime studios. Additionally, it was interesting to learn of the reasoning behind the artists’ inspiration as well as the reason for anime becoming so popular in other areas of the world aside from Japan. I was able to learn that most animation studios in the beginning while using inspiration from Disney, made individuality in their characters by including different and unique powers, outfits, hairstyles, and personas. It was also interesting to learn that before anime became popular in other countries, there were no cartoons that adults could really watch and enjoy. At that period in time, a majority of the cartoons to exist were for a younger audience. As well as the genre not varying, for cartoons to become applicable for everyone. Additionally, it was interesting to learn of the first translations and ideologies behind mangas and anime being translated. My respect for the genre as well as the animators and all the work that went on behind the scenes, began to increase. I was able to see the hard work, effort, and time that was put into creating anime. Reading and hearing pieces of work that said those who worked on the production began to work to the point of exhaustion and often worked until they could not stand and to the point where their eyes shut on their own. Something I believed was very interesting and informative that I found in my research was the remakes of anime into live action movies or plays, being disrespectful to the original animators of the anime. I agree with this wholeheartedly because recreating the anime into a live action film, doesn’t appreciate nor respect the long hard hours that the animators as well as production studios may have put into their work. Being an anime fan myself, I thought it was really interesting to learn and read about where anime began as well as how different it was back then compared to now. Similar to many other anime fans worldwide, I think it would be very beneficial to read up and learn about the origins in order to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the work and changes that anime has come to. Anime has come a long way over the years and has definitely changed the lives of millions worldwide, none of which would be possible without Tezuka and the first few productions studios.
