Review
Praise for Susan Napier's previous book, Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke:
"A thoughtful and carefully researched account."--The New York Times
"This worthy addition to the burgeoning literature on Japanese popular culture will stand the test of time."--Choice
Book Description
What is it about anime that is so appealing to a transnational fan base? Is the American attraction to anime similar to the popularity of previous fads of Japanese culture, like the Japonisants of fin-de-siecle France enamored of Japanese art and architecture, or the American poets in the fifties and sixties who latched onto haiku? Or is this something new, a product of global culture in which ethnic identities carry less weight? This book explores these issues by taking a look at anime fans and the place they occupy, both in terms of subculture in Japan and America, and in relation to Western perceptions of Japan since the late 1800s.
