I read this knowing nothing about anime, other than the usual popular opinion that anime was weird. I was surprised. Not only was this book easy to easy to read for someone who knew so little, but it helped me understand why anime is a unique art form. From this book, I was able to start watching anime and have since become a strong fan. I highly recommend if you are interested in the academics behind this type of media or, like me, are interested in why this form of story-telling is popular. (

A rather good scholarly review of popular and unpopular anime, including some coverage of hentai. There's a little bit of postmodern bullshit in there (e.g. the suggestion that Old Tokyo crater in Akira represents 'anal abjection' rather than, say, the atomic bombing of Japan), but on the whole it's insightful and well written. It's also pretty much unique at this point in time. Recommended. (

This book was indispensable during the writing of my thesis on the Shinto themes in the corpus of Hayao Miyazaki's feature animations.

Not enough serious research has been done into the impacts of Japanese Animation - let alone its increasing popularity of anime in Western society and the potential repercussions and consequences of this. This book is a wonderful, coherent start, that is well-written, well-researched, and a worthy academic text for anyone interested in media studies and film analysis. (

Arguably the first essential book on anime. To my mind it bears comparison with Charlie Gillett's "The sound of the City: The Rise of Rock and Roll". You may or may not agree with the author's thesis, it's just that that author was first one to pull it all together. Great stuff with lots to chew on. And a great cover, too!
