100 Anime is an exploration of the wonderfully complex and beautifully disorienting world of Japanese animation - anime. This expansive & mind-blowing book delves deep into the chaos of meaning gorged by anime’s mutation of Eastern/Western themes, images and sounds. Read this book & navigate the post-war shock waves which still propel Japan's mass media. 100 Anime is neither an academic text, nor a scant journalistic glance at Japan’s ‘freakishness’. The lively text is aimed at: those who have gleaned the weirdness of anime but could not uncover rhyme or reason for the weirdness; and those who already know and revel in that very weirdness. Exploiting the current fascination with modern Japan, the book fuses funky vernacular idioms, transcultural and post-human imaginings, and electrifying concepts born of a technological and audio-visual awareness.
