Before we knew it was Anime

Kimba was the only one we had. Better than watching the after-school special. Later on, there were cartoons with exaggerated mouth animation.

Speed Racer! That tales me back. It is much older than the 90s.

I'm just here for the animated mouths.
 
You knew it was Anime... There's no way in hell you didn't know that Kimba or fucking Speed Racer was Anime. That's like saying you didn't know Akira was anime. WTF, OP?

It was the '60's man. We were tiny children.
And
there
was
no
Internet.
Or
Wikipedia
or
Comic Con.

Yeah, but that's not an excuse to know that a movie was made in a certain country. I mean, look at the credits and you see that Kimba, for example, was made by Mushi and Tezuka productions. You don't need the internet or Comicon to know that something is made in Japan. I don't remember a time when I didn't know that my favorite things, like my 64 were Japanese- because I'm capable of reading. This entire thread makes no sense. In the art world, the J-Pop explosion after WW2 was kind of a huge deal- it revolutionized the Western Art world with folk like Osamu Tezuka becoming western icons. The 80s with Myazaki and Myomoto were even more influential. I mean, you may not have had full-fledged Otaku culture, but there's no way the reading comprehension was so low in a generation who can't make it through a single thread without bitching out my generation for our stupidity and technological crutches. If we're so stupid then you're at least better then us, and we know that Tezuka is a Japanese name by looking at the vowel-consonant clusters with a basic understanding of language. Hell, I couldn't even spell consonant- the computer had to correct it for me, and I can pick out a name.
 
What this proves is that old people were stupid as kids. They really need to lay off this whole kids today aren't smart and aren't pushed as hard when they've forgotten more than the 60's batch have learned period.

And I say it was. Osamu Tezuka first coined the term in the 1950s because he said that Americans were big on shortening words. He shortened "animation" to "animie" to set his work apart and make it sound "exotic". But the term itself had actually been used for years, since Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors in 1944- just not widely on advertisements and certainly not exclusively for marketing purposes for a foreign audience. You not knowing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Again- Art School Dropout. There's no excuse for people not to know it if I know it. I'm probably hands down the least intelligent person on this board. I should not be able to call anyone out on anything.

None of that matters. It wasn't a popular term here in the States then.

Nerd reality doesn't equal normal social reality.

Fuck to think if you ever mated with Yates. Christ!

Whatever it was called then, it wasn't widely known as much more than curious and crappy and over time, an acquired taste. Kids didn't go home to watch Astro Boy or spot Chim Chim. They went home and watched TV between 4-5:30 (or whenever Mom or Dad or big sib wasn't) and chose these cheap exotic cartoons instead of whatever other crap was on the other 3? channels. Anime? Anime? No. Programming. Yeah. The kids - like all kids - were ignorant.

I don't buy the schtick.

Maybe I had some strage peers, but yes we did all get home from school, usually congregated at one or another kid's house (depending on how late the school bus was running) just to watch Speed Racer & G-Force.

We thought it was cheesy, but also kinda cool, and very different than the crap being churned out by Hanna-Barbarra.

But we still didn't know it was called anime.

The first time I heard the term was the early 80's
