Wow, someone needs to screen cap this one so that we can all see what it's like over the pond! It's amazing something like this even exists considering how poorly materials back then were treated.
Always good to hear more about the history of anime and be able to relive the past just a bit. |

man, it is quite amazing at how much art has been lost due to time. If I remember right, roughly 70%+ of all films made before 1960 are gone. That is kind of terrifying.

It's air date makes it 11 days older than me. Amazing that it survived being warehoused for so long.
It would be nice for it to eventually be streamed so we all can see it. Mark Gosdin |

I'd imagine a good lot of those were lost in the wars, as Hugo demonstrates that nearly an entire man's work can be suddenly gone. None of Theda Bara's films are preserved. Post wars, I'm sure survival rates fare much better. For those clamoring about fansubs, do you go out of your way to regularly watch ancient anime? Beyond historical appreciation, I find it kind of hard to really care about the stories and characters, it's just more about "wow, this was made in X year", which was most of what I got out of Hakujaden. Then again, 9 minutes is a small pill to swallow. |

I'm just interested in seeing it from a historical perspective.
For the record, pretty much all American films made after the silent era still exist, with some exceptions, but it's rare for a US film made after 1930 to be completely lost (a few early talkies are gone though, notably some Spanish-language ones). Now US silent films however...you'd be surprised at how few survive. |

What should we consider ancient? This kind of short film with historical value? If this, its more historical appreciation. I am positve you are referring to this. Or ancient as in anime from them 60s, 70s, 80s? If this, then I love older anime, not because I was born in those eras thou, because I genuinely love them, my fav anime from the 80s without doubt. I regularly watch as much older anime as I can and as time permits, I have watched quite a lot actually, starting indeed with the very same Atom series mentioned all they way back in the early 60s, and then to todays anime, even moe for good measure .... .... .... .... The good thing is I dont need fansubs yes or yes, I can manage ok, so that helps to not skip lot of amazing anime, mainly older, that is not fansubbed, not even mentioning released outside Japan.

Not all of it, luckily couple of anime from 1930's did survived I know because have you seen The Roots of Japanese anime, this one has the oldest anime going back to 1930's.
Yes it's unfortunate, a lot of silent era films were either lost or scrapped for couple of reasons. I'll quote Wikipedia about lost films
This is why a lot of films back during the silent era and before VHS, DVDs, Blu-rays existed was lost. Anyway back on topic: Glad they found another lost anime, it's amazing they found it intact. Last edited by mdo7 on Sun Jun 16, 2013 11:28 am; edited 1 time in total |

I am very interested in seeing this from a historical and artistic perspective. Learning more about the history of this art form I love so much is always great! I hope it gets fansubbed.

Huh, wasn't "Hermit's Village" considered to be the earliest before this? I read about that when I was 12-ish in a Fred Patten book back in the mid-2000's.

Incredible! The new oldest surviving TV anime is going to be a fascinating find. I hope it comes here. I'd love to see it.

Have you seen Future Boy Conan? That's a fantastic late 70's anime that definitely does not get the recognition it deserves. Too many people who watch anime are afraid to venture out past anything pre 2000's anymore (except for the obvious popular titles like DBZ, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Evangelion etc.). They're too "hip" for that I guess. They'd be surprised at how many classics they miss out on. |

Great discovery! I like it when an incredibly rare anime from the past is found so that way we and future generations can be able to watch it. It's a real blessing that this film was not forever lost in time. It be even more super if the live action films "Japanese King Kong" & "King Kong Appears in Edo" were discovered. An unlikely chance for those two films to be found, but you can never know cause there's no solid evidence that either film was destroyed.
