From Nausicaa to K-on! Also covering the history of animation directly by hand Animage & Animedia Exhibition

Although animation magazines are still issued a lot now, among animals magazine three strong (boys and girls) boasting strong popularity and influence among them, "Animage" "animationia" of cooperative stance takes a cooperative posture, and for general readers For the donation of the back number for the"Machi ★ Asobi vol.7"During the exhibition, we are doing quite a challenging project of freedom of reading freely for hands rather than over glass case.

By having a lot of animation magazines gathered, I can list the popular titles at that time from the illustration of the front cover, so to speak the atmosphere like the animation history museum, so if you actually put yourself in that space a kind It was a crucible of precious information that feels unique force.

Exhibition is being held in the "Hosomi Building" just after entering Higashi Shinmachi Arcade.


In front of the Hosomi Building, a large banner that all the characters of the work handled by ufotable got together is posted, so you should know at a glance.


This is a "sky boundary" banner.


This is also the general information center of "Machi ★ Asobi". So, when you want pamphlets and maps, it is a base for the event of OK if you come here.


I will go inside.


The magazine used for this exhibition solicited donations from hand-held animation magazines and volunteers sent me.Animage has 368 volumes out of 400 volumes,Animedia has 251 of 359 volumesIt means that they gathered. It is a result of collection of huge number of recorded materials just because it is valuable thing which can not be obtained now.


A memorable cover of the first issue of Animage, and Animedia was prolonged and it was set as a commemorative filming section. The two anime magazines talk about, the history of animation starts from here.


Animage is "Space Battleship Yamato"


Animedia is "Galaxy Express 999"



Looking at the whole venue looks like this. Including a poster and booklet of a fuku is a masterpiece.



Based on the age, we will look at the transition of the work that decorated the main animation magazine. The top in the popularity ranking total done in 1979 was "Mobile Suit Gundam".


Illustration of heavy painting is quite impressive from the cover of modern animation magazine, it is stylish.



Famous characters who know even those who do not know this story, such as "seven women surrounding Amuro", "striking a veil of Sha · Aznable!" Are handled with nori peculiar to anime magazines.



Matilda, Seira, etc. For women who left deep impression on the minds of men who lived in the same age as the work, they are dealt with with a sentimental sentiment.


Animage Grand Prix of 1986 "Laputa of the Castle in the Sky"


It still boasts a high popularity even now, and many people will notice whenever they are broadcast on the Friday road show.


Rather than an anime magazine's appendix, it is a sentence of a fancy picture that seems to be lined up in "Acorn republic" etc. selling goods of Ghibli.


In 1984, the "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" was top of the popularity.


It is a special feature of "What is the character of the movie?" Which is not standardized yet because it is a staple of animated movies now. It seems to be necessary information for those who watch movies and little children in the future.


The goblins of the work of Studio Ghibli, including Nausicaa.


There was also a sign of Miyazaki's director was posted.


Cover that adopted the first movie poster as it is. The same thing was done also in the latest Studio Ghibli work "Kokurikozaka".

Although it is 1989 in the tag, in fact it was "Grand Tribe of the Witches" chosen as Grand Prix annually in 1990


The cover which drew Kiki and Jiji of the waking-up form was adorned.


The cover of the same age "Animedia" is "Nadiah of the Mystery of the Sea"


Pin-up is also treated as big.


There were booklets that seemed to be a bit nervous as a sexy character illustration, but inside was Nakajima's sexy character special features covering various demands, besides Nadia.



It seems that there were many publications of "Yu Yu ☆ White Paper" for animatedia around 1993.



When I turned the front cover, it was "irresponsible captain Tyler".


An illustration that Yusuke and Kuwahara are composing bands is a booklet of an animation song of the cover. It is a form that I do not see too much recently with music notation.





Broadcast "Macross 7" in 1994



It seems that animatedia around 1995 was a "pretty soldier Sailor moon" push.


In the project "Shining! Anime Character Grand Prize" I was sweeping the pretty girls division for the fifth consecutive year. That means that it was boasting high popularity from the point of animation broadcasting, and it is understood that the popularity height is not in line.




The "Slayers" series that began in 1995 seems to have been handled with cover and pinup as well as Sailor Moon.




"Slayers NEXT" Bible was a reversible version with "Escaflowne in the Sky."



"New Mobile Suit Gundam W" which will be the work of the same period as the broadcast of Slayers in the first term



From this time on, there was an article of a roundtable discussion of the main cast, whether the presence of the cast became stronger than ever.


In 1996 and 1997, the winner of the Grand Prix for the second consecutive year was "Neon Genesis Evangelion"


Pin-up of "Neon Genesis Evangelion Theater Version Sito New Generation".


Shinji and Kaoru 's oversized poster became fuzzy.


In 1998, "Martian Battleship Nadesico" is the top.


There may be fans who still have a cold line of words, "Baka Doka" by Hoshinori, still in his ears.


There was also a collection illustration.


"FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST" who made a big hit around 2003.


There seemed to be many donated or a lot of magazines and fukuroku, as the age was new.

"Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" started broadcasting in 2006. We had achieved 3 animation Grand Prix crown from 2006 to 2008.


It seems to be the result with sequel "R2". There are plenty of cover patterns, and the characters that pair with Lelouch are not necessarily limited to CC.


Lelouce was also appearing on the cover of animatedia.


"Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" was developed in various ways beginning with the same period as Code Geass


Featuring spread of the movie "Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya".


The back side of the poster was "The Ouran High School Host Department" of "Haruhi" with the same name of the hero who was deployed at the same time.

On the lowermost stage of the shelf that was being exhibited, successive Animage and Animedia papers were placed by age. Just roughly looking at the cover, it's quite interesting to see the trends and style of the age.

There was a lot of woofs on the shelf where only the woofs of Animage were arranged, but the booklet "Animation, what can you do with you?" That carries stories that seems to be hard to hear is drawing attention It was.



This is a shelf that gathered animals deer's coat.



There are also multiple booklets "Paro Media" that published cartoon of anime parody.



A poster picked up from each magazine was posted on the wall. Because I cover a wide age, I think that I can find a picture of a work I liked at the time.




For this exhibition at "Machi ★ Asobi vol. 7", messages of volunteers who donated the back numbers of Animage and Animedia were posted.





ufotable Kondo Producer was also donating.
