From Impressionism to Anime

Japan as Fantasy and Fan Cult in the Mind of the West

Beschreibung

What is it about anime that is so appealing to a transnational fan base? This book takes 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.
