tattoi nobori Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi all! I'm looking for a copy of (what I believe is) the oldest known anime still in existence: Obasuteyama ("The Mountain Where Old Women Are Abandoned") by: Sanae Yamamoto, 1924 I would be overjoyed to find it in any format whatsoever: avi, divx, mpeg, .torrent, whatever! Thanks for your time, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Tremaine Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 [COLOR=#503F86]Linking to torrents and/or illegal downloads of copyrighted material is strictly against OB's Rules, but someone may be able to point you in the right direction with regards to finding it on DVD or something.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2vq Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Even if the request is illegal, I find the subject matter itself very interesting. I never really thought about it, but I always assumed Osamu Tezuka made the first Japanese animation. It's very interesting to learn about Yamamoto. Sorry I don't have any copy of it though. It'd be interesting to watch a Japanese silent Anime. -ArV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hunter Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The title you are asking about is no longer in print, so I doubt you'll be able to find it in any sort of illegal or dvd format for that matter. Your best bit would be able to find a film collector and even in that case chances are the person will not give up the prints to that film even for a viewing.

2010DigitalBoy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Oh my god! Ive been hoping that there would be an anime about this story for months now and there is! I doubt that you could find it anywhere, though. Im sure animenewsnetwork.com could help. Was there even anime back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaku America Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 [COLOR=Navy]On a certain foreign site they sell this anime on a Japanese VCD. I own it and it's a "legit" copy. I would pm you the website but I can't recall the web address. All I remember about the shop was that it was a shop for importers.[/COLOR] :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
