Welcome to our Anime, Studio Ghibli and Tokusatsu poster collection - one the largest on the net!

Anime is loved by many across the world with famous franchises such as Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Crayon Shin-Chan, Hello Kitty and many more started as anime. The anime industry in Japan consists of over 430 production studios; major firms include Studio Ghibli, Gainax, and Toei Animation. Since the 1980s, the medium has also seen international success with the rise of foreign dubbed and subtitled programming. As of 2016, anime accounted for 60% of the world's animated television shows.

Studio Ghibli's films are amongst Japan's greatest exports! Six of Studio Ghibli's films are among the 10 highest-grossing anime films made in Japan, with Spirited Away (2001) being the second highest, grossing over US$360 million worldwide. Many of their works have won the Animage Anime Grand Prix award, and four have won the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year.

Tokusatsu, 特撮, "special filming", is a Japanese term for live action film or television drama that makes heavy use of special effects. Tokusatsu entertainment often deals with science fiction, fantasy or horror, but films and television shows in other genres can sometimes count as tokusatsu as well. The most popular types of tokusatsu include kaiju monster films such as the Godzilla and Gamera film series; superhero TV serials such as the Kamen Rider and Metal Hero series; and mecha dramas like Giant Robo and Super Robot Red Baron. Some tokusatsu television programs combine several of these subgenres, for example the Ultraman and Super Sentai series.
