In the 1970s anime started to develop, cut itself off from its Western origins and create unique genres such as mecha (e.g. Chodenji Machine Voltes V). This was a period when several filmmakers became famous such as the well known Hayao Miyazaki. The first major anime film by Hayao is 'Taiyo no Oji Horusu no Daiboken' ('The Great Adventure of Horus, Prince of the Sun'). Also, Hayao along with Isao Takahata (film director, animator, screenwriter and producer) began a series of literature based anime.
Isao also co-founded Studio Ghibli with Hayao and directed films such as 'Grave of the Fireflies' (1988), 'Only Yesterday' (1991), 'My Neighbours the Yamadas' (1999) and, his most recent, 'The Tale of the Princess Kaguya' (2013). He only started animating after becoming an official director.
