CoryIsMyWaifu★ 7

This could very well be the first anime. Some say it might be from 1907! So i'm going to be lenient, super lenient. story - 0 There is none, it's just a 5 second long clip of a boy writing. art - 8 very good! At least, I like it. It's also very interesting, showing the style of the time sound - 0 its a silent film so...character - 1 there's a dude, he writes, bam done enjoyment - 7 I love older stuff and history so this was super cool and interesting. Also, it was cute. overall - 7 ya gotta forgive it, its from 1907! Overall, its the first and its good.

Obviously the conventional rules for reviews aren't going to apply here, since there isn't a story, sound, or characterization to speak of. The art is cute, and my enjoyment was high since I personally like history a lot. Katsudou Shashin ("Moving Picture") from 1907 is the oldest "anime" ever. Over a hundred years ago... it really leaves you in awe. I love seeing bits and pieces of history like this, so even if this is only about three seconds long and has no real story elements to it like modern anime, I do think it's a masterpiece, especially given the time period it was made in.
