A brilliant combination of pop culture investigation and philosophical thinking, Anime and Philosophy is a startlingly impressive collection of chapters by writers who use their great love for, and knowledge of, anime for serious probing and accessible philosophical questioning.
University of Hull
As befits a genre that came of age in the wake of the Hiroshima bombing and the humiliating surrender of Japan to the Allies in 1945, anime asks difficult questions about war and violence, the limits of human life and the self, and the frontiers of experience (space travel, apocalyptic scenarios, cyborgs and androids). This timely volume shows us scholarly dissectionsdont fret, Shaorinof anime from the wildly popular to the bizarre and obscure. The result is stimulating and enlightening in equal measure.
In the unique cultural sub-verse worlds of anime, manga, animanga, and on and on, anything is possible. Our imagination determines the boundaries, and we approach each new world with a slightly different philosophical slant. Anime and Philosophy is an enlightening read and a brilliant addition to any anime lovers bookshelf. Its also an atlas of the anime universe, a welcome guide for anyone intrigued by anime but unsure of just where to start their journey.
Perhaps the only thing more fascinating than great anime is what goes on inside the heads of those who really get it. Here at last is a fascinating explanation of an art form that is re-defining pop culture all over the globe, told by those who have dipped deep into the psyche behind Japanese animation.
This book is a launching point for fans who recognize that anime dont only make us laugh and cheer and cry but also think. Anime and Philosophy surveys the anime that have made the biggest splash among Western audiences, helping fans connect their best-loved shows with the deeper questions behind them, bringing out the larger philosophical themes that make anime so powerful for Western viewers.
Anime makes your average American or British Saturday morning cartoon look slow and shallow. Why does animea medium primarily but not exclusively aimed towards young children in its native countrytackle deep themes such as identity and the self, sacrifice and self-awareness, while Sponge Bob scratches around looking for another shrimp? This book helps us understand that theres a lot more to anime than just pretty girls with big eyes and giant robots smashing up Neo-Tokyoagain! To truly appreciate films like Akira, GhostIn The Shell and even My Neighbor Totoro, you just have to read this book.
