This mod can be resource hungry.
Description

The 1980s saw the affirmation of anime and manga as major forms of entertainment for the Japanese public. Studio Ghibli, arguably Japan's most famous and respected animation studio, was founded by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki in 1985 following the success of Miyazaki's Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Newtype, one of the animation industry's two leading magazines, was also launched in 1985.

Examples of Japanese products created and distributed during the 1980s include Donkey Kong[2], Super Mario Bros[2] and classic cartoons such as Astro Boy and Akira. Nintendo Co, Ltd (NCL) came of age with video arcade games and its famous Family Computer video game console (also known as the Famicom)[3]. The American company Atari strove to compete in Japan, but was unable to overcome the Sega-Nintendo duopoly in video arcade games[4]. Future Japanese game designers cut their teeth at this time playing 8-bit games and ended up designing video games on much more complex architectures (consoles such as the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy).
