From "8½" to "Day for Night" to "Dolemite Is My Signature," movie history is full of filmmaking. The latest addition to this self-referential genre is Tsutomu Mizushima's "Shirobako the Film," an anime about the blood, sweat and beers that brought an animated film on screen. It is the sequel to the television series "Shirobako," which aired from 2014 to 2015 and focused around Aoi Miyamori (voiced by Juri Kimura), a newly minted production assistant at the fictional Musashino Animation who, along with the viewer, discovers the ins and outs of how anime is produced from scratch to screen — and all the speed bumps that pop up along the way. Since canceling an in-progress sequence, the film opens four years later, with the great Musashino Animation a shadow of its former self. With the studio floundering, one of its executives comes to Miyamori with a bold plan: make an original theatrical film to be completed in less than a yea...

MullenLowe partnered with Danish director Mads Broni and Passion Animation Studios to create an anime-inspired advertisement for one of UK's favorite restaurant chains, Wagamama. Called Bowl to Soul, it's based on the brand's affiliation with Japanese food and its founding philosophy that food not only feeds our heart, it "feeds our soul." The ad shows this by demonstrating Wagamama food's restore sensation. Upon taking her first taste, the ad's heroine tumbles into a magical land filled with streaming ramen rivers, ondulating coriander fields and spice fireworks. That doesn't sound bad. And it's a good way to appeal to those of us who haven't appreciated the magic of "your food will come out when it's ready." Created by a mixture of hand-drawn and computer-illustrated artwork, the film brings together a wide range of modern, diverse images and characters, each frame being a unique illustration influenced by anime art.

It's a Japanese word for film or comic book animation. It features large doe-like eyes. It features vivid characters and bright graphics. It could be a comic book used to attract youth and adult audiences. An anime may feature complex and sophisticated episode-forming storylines. The genre may be horror stories, martial arts, ninjas, romance. It could be space ships and robots fantasy. Animations have been around for a while. They were invented in 1917. Their growth has gradually progressed into today's doe-like animation. The anime art style originated in Japan in 1960. But it later spread to many parts of the twentieth century. Today, anime distribution is carried out by TV broadcasting, internet and house media. It's classified into genres targeting a wide range of niche audiences. Anime blends cartography, narrative, graphic art, and other innovative techniques. This focuses more on realism and camera effects than gesture animation. Anime is hand-drawn and cons...

Anime isn't known for American box office success, and when there are successes they appear to be Studio Ghibli fare, Pokemon movies, and other family-friendly features. More mature anime seems to get small releases and thus little chance for blockbuster success. However, Japanese animated films for teenagers and grown-ups are growing at the box office thanks to specialty event-style distribution. FUNimation Entertainment's latest release, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising , premiered domestically last Wednesday and reportedly first-placed the box office, grossing $2.5 million on its opening day. The manga adaptation had reached a domestic total of $8.5 million by Sunday, including the official opening-weekend $5.1 million, ranking fourth. Showing at only 1,260 theaters, the movie had the second-best per-screen average of all small theater releases. Heroes Rising is My Hero Academia's second feature. In the fall of 2018, FUNimation released My Hero Academia: Two Hero...

As part of its ongoing "Behind the Mac" initiative, Apple has launched a new ad in Japan featuring clips from popular anime shows using its MacBook range. 30-second montage of prominent anime scenes like Your Name, Weathering With You, Mr. Osomatsu, Gridman, New Game! And The Wonderland includes Yoshiho Nakamura's hit, "I am Shujinko." Apple makes the most of its bragging rights by demonstrating how prevalent its computers have become in popular culture. We still often joke about how odd it is to see someone not use Mac in a movie. It's not just a Mac commercial, as the ad shows both AirPods and EarPods.

Epic pirate adventure One piece may get Netflix's first-ever live-action adaptation, but the incredibly long-running Eiichiro Oda manga still marks a big milestone on the anime side of things. For over 900 episodes released over the 20-year series (officially recorded last October), Monkey D. Luffy's fans and his motley crew know that the voice cast has plenty of war stories from their seven-seas tenure. That means that when voice actors Brina Palencia (Tony Tony Chopper) and Colleen Clinkenbeard (Luffy) sat down at the C2E2 2020 anniversary panel— while marking the return of the Funimation One PIece dub— it wasn't hard to spread an ear to what they had to say. "We recently made special features of the 20th anniversary" about how One Piece came to America, Clinkenbeard said. She produces the special features on Funimation films, and she explained she had to go deep into One Piece's history for this epic interview-laden mini-doc to be released on a s...

Netflix is a titan of streaming services. That's pretty obvious because they shrugged off a $17 billion loss without much difficulty, while streaming companies like Viacom, Roku were worth less than $17 billion at the time. But there's one place where Netflix isn't making much strides yet, and that's anime. Meanwhile, their competition is growing strong. Netflix and Anime Netflix has over 50 anime. They've been there for years, but few of their shows are above average. Some of them are really decent, but a site like Netflix would deserve far better content. " Devilman Crybaby " , " Violet Evergarden " , " Castlevania " are some of their best works. And the funny thing is, not many remember "Castlevania" as an anime. Most of Netflix's original anime only appeals to a small group of viewers, although their unorthodox animation and art style repels other viewers. Yet Netflix has a huge collection of top classic anime ...
