Anime experienced very little change since the 1960s. The overwhelming success
of Tetsuwan Atomu (Astro Boy) and Mach Go-Go-Go (Speed Racer) led to an increase
in the production of anime. The American practice of using a static background
with separate cells for movement revolutionized Japanese animation. The number
of cells that needed to be produced was drastically reduced -- up to thirty
percent fewer cells -- and so it became economically feasible to create thirty-minute
episodes for TV release.
