  • Japanese Animation: Thailand's Perspective
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 08(02):129–137 (2015) JAPANESE ANIMATION: THAILAND’S PERSPECTIVE Niracharapa Tongdhamachart Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University This paper referenced the ongoing popularity of Japanese animation and provided some insights and benefits for animators, entrepreneurs and government organizations based on historical and cultural perspectives as well as their impact on Thai culture and society. This study examined and identified the factors affecting the popularity of Japanese animation by tracing the historical development from the late 1960s until the present. Through analyzing characteristics of Japanese animation, data was collected from related research, articles, websites and interviews of some Thai fans ranging from young children to adults. The global success of Japanese animation includes diverse art styles, methods of animation and its production and processes such as character design, comic books, story-telling and 2D techniques. More key factors adding to the success of Japanese animation include marketability, moral messages or knowledge latency, cultural proximity, partnership and government support. Keywords : Anime, Characters, Japanese Animation, Manga. Introduction The size of the global animation industry was about USD 222 billion in 2013, where major animation markets were the United States, Canada, Japan, China, France, Britain, Korea and Germany growing around 7% year on year. The animation production market is increasingly being outsourced by North American and European film and television program producers. Animation history in Asia embarked upon its journey in the 1940s which was remarkably influenced by Western studios, Disney in particular. Exposure to foreign production, training abroad, and foreign assistance were pivotal factors for such countries as China, Japan, Korea, and India.

KURZINHALT Ausgerechnet am Weihnachtsabend findet das Obdachlosen-Trio Gin, Hana und Miyuki mitten in einer Tokyoter Müllhalde ein Baby. Das denkwürdige Gespann – ein vermeintlicher Ex- Velorennfahrer, eine alternde Drag Queen und eine junge Ausreisserin – begibt sich auf die Suche nach den Eltern des Kindes. Bald deutet alles darauf hin, dass man wohl in den besseren Gegenden der Millionenmetropole fündig werden könnte. Damit nimmt eine energiegeladene Odyssee mit bizarren Abenteuern und seltsamsten Wendungen ihren ebenso wundersamen wie irren Lauf... Tokyo Godfathers ist eine umwerfende Liebeserklärung an die Stadt, in der er spielt – mit liebevollen Querverweisen auf Frank Capra, Charlie Chaplin und John Ford. Die erzählerische Perfektion dieser Weihnachtsgeschichte der etwas anderen Art entfaltet sich vor einer der beeindruckendsten animierten Stadtlandschaften, die je im Kino zu sehen waren.
