  UPDATED Hey this is the official animelovers club!if u love/like anime this is your club>.<  what is anime? Anime began at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques also pioneered in France, Germany, the United States, and Russia. The oldest known anime in existence first screened in 1917 – a two-minute clip of a samurai trying to test a new sword on his target, only to suffer defeat. Early pioneers included Shimokawa Oten, Jun'ichi Kouchi, and Seitarō Kitayama. By the 1930s, animation became an alternative format of storytelling to the live-action industry in Japan. But it was hampered by competition from foreign producers and many animators, such as Noburō Ōfuji and Yasuji Murata still worked in cheaper cutout not cel animation, although with masterful results. Other creators, such as Kenzō Masaoka and Mitsuyo Seo, nonetheless made great strides in animation technique, especially with increasing help from a government using animation in education and propaganda. The first talkie anime was Chikara to Onna no Yo no Naka, produced by Masaoka in 1933. The first feature length animated film was Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors directed by Seo in 1945 with sponsorship by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The success of The Walt Disney Company's 1937 feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs influenced Japanese animators. In the 1960s, manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka adapted and simplified many Disney animation-techniques to reduce costs and to limit the number of frames in productions. He intended this as a temporary measure to allow him to produce material on a tight schedule with inexperienced animation staff. The 1970s saw a surge of growth in the popularity of manga. The work of Osamu Tezuka drew particular attention: he has been called A "legend".His work – and that of other pioneers in the field – inspired characteristics and genres that remain fundamental elements of anime today. The giant robot genre for instance, took shape under Tezuka, developed into the Super Robot genre under Go Nagai and others, and was revolutionized at the end of the decade by Yoshiyuki Tomino who developed the Real Robot genre. Robot anime like the Gundam and The Super Dimension Fortress Macross series became instant classics in the 1980s, and the robot genre of anime is still one of the most common in Japan and worldwide today. In the 1980s, anime became more accepted in the mainstream in Japan , and experienced a boom in production. Following a few successful adaptations of anime in overseas markets in the 1980s, anime gained increased acceptance in those markets in the 1990s and even more at the turn of the 21st century.  how to join: name: b.day: job: avii code:  jobs: member graphics designer advertiser members name:nina age:19 b.dy:2/02 job:pres  name: nichole job: member  b-day: january Name: Waiyomi b.day: Feb 20 Job: Member code:  Name: Keara birthday:January 9 Job: Member  name:Nindo job:clickie maker b-day:18 of july  name: Thea-chan^-^ job: graphic designer :D  b-day: June 18 :3 name: Sandra job: co-owner  b-day: April 18 name:Amy b.day:augest 10 job:graphic maker  name: Hannah b.day: aug.19 job: advertiser/graphics designer no avi at the moment name:kiamaru b.day:1/8/99 job:artist  name: lexi superstar (her name is lexi) b.day: 1994-10-30 job: member  name: Valentina job: graphic designer b-day: October 17  name: Yachiru b.day: March 3rd 1990 job: Member  name:Angela b.day:oct 30th job:member  Name:Ayameb. day:jan.10 age:10 job:graphic desighner  name: mika-chann b.day: dec. 11 job: graphic designer  name: Tiffany b.day: 8/12 job: graphics designer avii code: later name: chiru-chan b.day: august 18th job:club secratery  name: Makivka birthday: March 3rd  name:Yuuki b.day:Nov 1 job:member  name:Hannah b.day: aug.19 job: advertiser  name: loli02 b.day: june 02, 1993 job: member  name: Kuleen (coline) b.day: Dec. o8 job: 6raphic desi6ner NO AVI YET please make us graphics!!!
