New Celebrity Sightings

Anime videos and anime TV series pretty much grew up together, the videos gradually following the appearance of the series on television. At first the entrance of anime into North America was a gradual trickle, starting in the 1960s with programs like Astro Boy, with other shows like Speed Racer and Robotech coming later. Japanese animation seemed a bit odd in the beginning, having such a different visual quality to what American audiences were used to. But even though they only saw a few series in the first decade or two, they liked what they saw.

Things progressed slowly through the 1970s, but began to speed up in the 1980s, both in the case of anime TV series and videos. For one thing, a few more of the series began airing, but another new development made it possible to spread the top anime videos more widely. The invention of the VCR allowed people to view Japanese animation series without being dependent on what the television networks decided to buy out of Japan and air in North America. The crowds who watched this animation genre were still small, but with the new videos, anime was shown more and more in places like science fiction and fantasy conventions, and the interest grew.

When DVDs began appearing on the scene, many converted their favorite anime collections from VCR to DVD. This new technology made it even more possible for anime videos and anime TV series to diverge into separate spheres, yet they did remain intertwined to a large degree. The number of anime broadcasts on television skyrocketed in the 1990s and this prompted more purchasing of anime videos, which in turn encouraged more television exposure. The two media formats fed into each other.

With the advent of the internet and, in the 2000s, the development of video technology on portable devices, the interconnection of anime videos and anime TV series began to fray until it remained only tenuous. With new videos often uploaded onto internet sites, fans can now watch what is called “streaming anime” without being anywhere near a television. As well, most anime producers now have agreements with cell phone companies, and fans can even download episodes directly to their portable devices. Anime may have owed its rise in popularity to the television, but now it appears to be leaving its TV roots far behind.
