DOUGLAS WATCHES EVERY ANIME: THE ANIMATION BUBBLE (“1907”-1923)

At the start of 1917, there were three dominant Japanese film studios. There were exactly zero frames of animation. In order to change that, each company needed a lead director. There would be three pillars of this first phase of Japanese animation. Who would be the first creators, and what would be the First Anime, to emerge?

I've got a new anime history and review blog, and these are the questions I'm going to try and answer first.

There are footnotes in the article which have links, where that's possible. Unless something went wrong with the site. I'll check shortly.

Somehow I forgot that I could do inline links. I'll have to change my coffee brand again. Fixed now, and I'll use them going forward.

This is great to see. I’ve watched everything I could find up until around 1931, and my favorites from the jump are definitely Noburo Ofuji for all of his chiyogami and experimentation and Yasuji Murata for a lot of his early character designs. I’ll definitely give this a read.
