[About Animage]
Japan's first full-scale commercial anime magazine, monthly "Animage", launched on May 26, 1978. As a pioneer of anime magazines, we post scene photos and interview articles that allow you to see behind the scenes of production by focusing on the inside of the industry, writers and people involved in production, which had never been in the limelight as behind the work. We have responded to the needs of fans.
This magazine, which triggered the establishment of Studio Ghibli with the animated film adaptation of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind," is still a bridge between anime and fans, celebrating its 42nd anniversary in 2020.
