Description

Anime: A Critical Introduction by Rayna Denison explores the diverse genres that have emerged within Japanese animation culture. From mecha robots to Studio Ghibli's signature shojo characters, this book charts the evolution of anime as a globally significant category of animation. The author examines the tensions between local and global markets for anime texts, discussing debates around key film texts, animation and violence, cyborgs, and the differences between domestic and international understandings. By framing these debates within contexts rather than just texts, Denison offers a nuanced understanding of anime as a complex cultural phenomenon that can be easily re-edited, translated, and reinterpreted globally. This book provides a fresh perspective on anime, one that considers its adaptability and changing meanings as it travels around the world.
