Even in his humble beginnings, when he was involved in putting the finishing touches on the animated film \u003ci\u003eLegend of the White Serpent\u003c\/i\u003e, Rintaro made unfathomable waves for anime as we know it, with Hayao Miyazaki citing it as a core inspiration in becoming an animator and director rather than a manga artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1960, Rintaro transferred to Mushi Production, an animation studio established and overseen by the “god of manga” Osamu Tezuka himself. He made his directorial debut with the TV anime \u003ci\u003eAstro Boy\u003c\/i\u003e (1963–66) and served as the chief director for the first-ever full-colour TV anime in Japan, \u003ci\u003eKimba the White Lion\u003c\/i\u003e, which aired from 1965 and made peerless contributions to the development of technical Japanese anime culture during its early years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRintaro returned to Toei in 1977 and began work on \u003ci\u003eJetter Mars\u003c\/i\u003e. In 1978, his directorial work on \u003ci\u003eSpace Pirate Captain Harlock\u003c\/i\u003e caught the attention of the then-president of Toei Animation, leading to his appointment as the director of the theatrical version of \u003ci\u003eGalaxy Express 999\u003c\/i\u003e. Released in 1979, this film became a record-breaking hit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter being chosen by Haruki Kadokawa to direct \u003ci\u003eGenma Wars\u003c\/i\u003e in 1983, Rintaro shifted his main activities to studio Madhouse, directing major films such as \u003ci\u003eThe Dagger of Kamui\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYona Yona Penguin\u003c\/i\u003e, and the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eMetropolis\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA unique journey that will take us from postwar Japan to the release of the film \u003ci\u003eMetropolis\u003c\/i\u003e in 2001, \u003ci\u003eMy Life in 24 Frames per Second\u003c\/i\u003e is a journey filled with encounters, opportunities, endless nights, jazz, cigarettes, but above all, cinema.
