INTRODUCTION CREATIVE JAPAN Beginning first in the late 1950s with the publication of comics for young people and then the production of animated comics in the 1960s, an intimate relationship between Manga and Anime has evolved such that today over 60% of the animated cartoons produced are based on Manga. This ‘collaboration’ has seen the Manga and Animation industry produce some of the best creations for TV and film, and has also brought about a kind of media cross-fertilisation which has spawned a unique brand of music, games, character-based products and even magazines.
