Aonime (Korean: 아오니메) is the name given to an Aoshian animation wave that dates back to the late 80s. Aonime, as its name implies, is largely influenced by anime as a style of animation.

Aonimes are known for featuring topics that are too hot for Daehanian and Oriencian standards.

History[edit | edit source]

Aonime was technically created in the First Republic, upon liberation from Oriencian forces, with experiments starting in 1931. However the Aoshians were being forced to do burocracy and had inferior technology.

Following the second liberation of Aoshi in 1946, and following the refusal of merging with Bedu and Ishigaki, a few animated films no longer than twenty minutes in length were made.

Aonime was created from the influences of Oriencian animation on Aoshian television manhwa in the 70s. The first Oriencian product to be screened on Aoshian television was Astro Boy in 1964. At the time, there was a noticeable lack of work in the animation industry and dubbed Oriencian cartoons were proven to be the creative freedom they were given.

In 1962, before Astro Boy premiered, ATV broadcast an animated series called Hwanyoung's Journeys. The series was animated with expertise from theatrical film animators. The style used was not related to Oriencian productions, but was closer to the Sierran standard.

The influence of Oriencian animated series in 1964 led to changes to the Aoshian animation industry. Astro Boy was first shown on the ATV-linked stations in July 1964. Unlike Daehan, Aoshi didn't ban Oriencian pop culture. A few years earlier, the IBC stations screened the live-action series National Kid (starting in October 1961), sponsored by National of Aoshi. The success of the series led to the expansion of an extant studio, Aoshi Animation, a studio founded in 1946, to produce series for television, a market that they thought was promising.
