<p>Although I don't watch 60's and 70s TV anime that often, but some anime that I saw had shots that weren't animated, there are shots that's a single cel without camera movement or a single cel with the camera zooming or panning within the shot, or illustrations like a painting or drawing in certain scenes, why do older anime do that? What's the reason behind it? I know the art of old TV anime is based on manga, but why do they do it?</p>

Of course 80s and 90s anime do that too, like the Black Jack anime that uses still illustrations within certain scenes.
