— What You Can Expect —
Immerse yourself in the era from Animage's 1978 debut to the 1980s, Japan's first anime magazine that bridges fans and creators. Witness the anime boom sparked by the success of Mobile Suit Gundam in 1979. Explore Studio Ghibli's origin, Toshio Suzuki's discovery of directors Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, and their film productions like "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and "Laputa: Castle in the Sky." This nationwide exhibition, now in its 12th venue in Kobe, unveils the roots of Studio Ghibli and Japan's anime legacy. Enjoy an audio guide featuring a conversation between Nausicaa's voice actress, Sumi Shimamoto, and Animage editor-turned-film producer, Nozomi Takahashi.
- A magazine that connects creators and viewers
This exhibition highlights the period from Animage's 1978 debut to the 1980s, a time when anime experienced significant growth over 40 years ago. Popular works like "Space Battleship Yamato" and "Mobile Suit Gundam" captured the enthusiasm of young anime fans. Animage, a magazine conveying the creators' lives, played a pivotal role in fostering the dynamic interaction between creators and viewers. This magazine-driven synergy contributed to the ongoing success of Japanese animation. - Magazine with Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki
"Animage," known for discovering many anime creators, encountered the talents of Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. The film "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" originated from the pages of "Animage." Studio Ghibli's inaugural work, "Laputa: Castle in the Sky," marked a new milestone in creating satisfying pieces. Subsequently, we witnessed the release of Takahata's "Grave of the Fireflies" and Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro." Despite being a magazine, "Animage" continued to publish the works of these two artists and convey their words to the audience. - Another Studio Ghibli birth story
The exhibition reflects on a period when magazine and animation film production were similar. It highlights "Animage's" role in birthing and shaping numerous anime works through magazine displays and valuable production materials. It illustrates how the creators of "Animage" established Studio Ghibli with a shared spirit that persists in their ongoing work.
