The beginnings
Toei Animation's colour features of the late 1950s and Osamu Tezuka's television series of the 1960s laid the foundations of Japanese animation.
The 1970s
Television brought giant robots, space operas and the World Masterpiece Theater, with series such as Moomin and Little Women.
The 1980s
Magical girls, gag comedies and the new home video market filled the decade, from Creamy Mami: Forever Once More to Dr. Slump: Hoyoyo! Space Adventure.
The shelves
Open 1959 to 1969, the 1970s or the 1980s.
