About Toei Animation
Toei Animation (東映アニメーション株式会社) is a Japanese animation studio based in Nerima, Tokyo, Japan. The studio has created and produced countless film and TV anime as well as anime adaption of manga works by many legendary and renowned manga artists and authors. Their well known works includes and does not limit to Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, Slam Dunk, Digimon, Air Gear, Pretty Cure, Sailor Moon and One Piece.
"Our aim is to be an emerging player that consistently provides dreams and hopes to children and people all around the world. With this management philosophy, and leveraging our extensive experience, we will continue to achieve new standards in quality and explore fresh projects in a bid to become a truly global animation company." President Katsuhiro Takagi, June 2012
If I am correct by any chance, Toei Animation would be the largest animated film producer in the world as they have over 230 theatrical films. I literally died of shock when I came to know that. I have been exposed to Western and Eastern animation since toddlerhood but I absolutely did not expect any studio to be capable of that feat! That amount of animated work is two times much more than Walt Disney Animation Studios, DisneyToon Studio and Disney Television Animation combined as of writing. Guinness World Records should verify and recognize this!
Guess which one is my favorite childhood anime?
Nah, don't have to guess. It's Dragon Ball!
Honestly I am happy to discover that they have produced many good ones but I wonder how much time it'll take for me to write on them and if I could actually do that as it is not going to be easy. I also have numerous other interests, pursuits and real life responsibilities ... I can't possibly indulge in watching animated films every hours I have! But I'll see what I can do. *perfectionism*
PS. Toei Animation have a good bunch of fairy tale adaption anime films as well. However, I am only listing some of the films I've watched in the past for now!
What I like about this studio
