Hayao Miyazaki's World Picture
"Hayao Miyazaki eclectic body of work addresses compelling philosophical and political questions and demands critical attention. This study examines his views on contemporary culture and economics from a broad spectrum of perspectives, from Zen and classical philosophy and Romanticism, to existentialism, critical theory, poststructuralism and psychoanalytic theory"
Japanese Aesthetics and Anime
"This study addresses the relationship between Japanese aesthetics and anime. There are three premises: (1) the abstract concepts promoted by Japanese aesthetics; (2) the abstract and the concrete coalesce in the visual domain; and (3) anime can help us appreciate many aspects of Japan's aesthetic legacy"...Provided by publisher
The Fairy Tale and Anime
Over the last few decades, anime has consistently come into fruitful contact with themes, images and symbols associated with the fairy tale tradition. This critical text focuses on the ways in which fundamental principles of the fairy tale tradition are deployed, and hence come to manifest themselves narratively and cinematographically, in anime. Topics covered include modes of storytelling, aesthetics, as well as dramatic, ethical, psychological…
Anime and the art of adaptation
This book evaluates three core facets of anime adaptation--how anime adaptations contribute to their original sources in stylistic, aesthetic, and psychological terms; how specific features of anime medium impact alchemically on original sources to bring into being imaginative works of autonomous nature; and which qualities render an adaptation in anime form a distinctly separate, unique artistic creation"--Provided by publisher

Anime based on visual novels capitalize on the parent games' attributes, yielding thought-provoking yarns and complex personalities"...Provided by publisher
Anime and Memory
"This study provides an analysis of a range of anime titles wherein different aspects of this cultural phenomenon are articulated. It explores films and series which exemplify the distinctive signatures placed by particular directors or studios on the treatment of memory, while highlighting the prominence of memory in anime with reference to specific philosophical, artistic, and historical contexts"--Provided by publisher
The Art of Studio Gainax
Formed by a small group of university students in the early 1980s, Studio Gainax is now one of the most adventurous and widely esteemed anime companies on the scene. Although the company's immense popularity is a factor that of itself could justify a study of its members and their diverse creations, the studio is even more intriguing for its unique approach to animation. Formal experimentation, genre-straddling, self-reflexivity, unpredictable pl…

"The main body of the text comprises nine chapters, each of which is a detailed analysis of a production and explores the developments in works such as Ninja Scroll, Perfect Blue, and Howl's Moving Castle.
