Available Copies Details Synopsis

Japanese animation began as home-grown entertainment. Today it's a red-hot, multimillion-dollar international cult phenomenon poised to enter the American mainstream. Thousands of anime otaku (dedicated fans) attend conventions and screenings around the country. But since anime was born in Japan, it's filled with all sorts of cultural details that are downright perplexing... unless you're Japanese or unless you've got the Anime Companion. With more that 500 glossary-style entries, this book is a complete guide to anime's distictive visual style. Included are illustrations, film citations, and numerous references to the related art of manga(Japanese comics), plus the opinionated author's rants on fandom, food, anime babes, large eyes, and sex and bloody noses.
