[KineJapan] A new edition of Anime Explosion! by Patrick Drazen

[Amy-lynn Fischer]

For those on the KineJapan list interested in anime, we wanted to let you know that Stone Bridge Press has just released a new digital and print edition of Patrick Drazen’s cultural guidebook, Anime Explosion! The What? Why? and Wow! of Japanese Animation.  

This new edition is updated and revised, now ten years after its first publication, and it offers an interpretive tour of the world of Japanese animation, from older artistic traditions to the works of today’s creators like Miyazaki, Otomo, Kon, and CLAMP. Examined are anime’s major themes, styles, and conventions, plus the familiar tropes of giant robots, samurai, furry beasts, high school heroines, and gay/girl/fanboy love. Concluding are essays on fan-favorite films, including Evangelion, Escaflowne, Sailor Moon, Patlabor, and Fullmetal Alchemist.  
 
We have created a less expensive e-book edition, which contains live links to almost all the films mentioned in the text: just click on the link to view images from the film or to get more information about its creators and history from websites all over the internet. The print edition contains the same links in an appendix at the back of the book. The print edition is $45.00 and the e-book is $16.95.
