Anime: A Critical Introduction maps the genres that have thrived within Japanese animation culture, and shows how a wide range of commentators have made sense of anime through discussions of its generic landscape. From the battling robots that define the mecha genre through to Studio Ghibli's dominant genre-brand of plucky shojo (young girl) characters, this book charts the rise of anime as a globally significant category of animation. It further thinks through the differences between anime's local and global genres: from the less-considered niches like nichijo-kei (everyday style anime) through to the global popularity of science fiction anime, this book tackles the tensions between the markets and audiences for anime texts.
Anime is consequently understood in this book as a complex cultural phenomenon: not simply a "genre," but as an always shifting and changing set of texts. Its inherent changeability makes anime an ideal contender for global dissemination, as it can be easily re-edited, translated and then newly understood as it moves through the world's animation markets. As such, Anime: A Critical Introduction explores anime through a range of debates that have emerged around its key film texts, through discussions of animation and violence, through debates about the cyborg and through the differences between local and global understandings of anime products. Anime: A Critical Introduction uses these debates to frame a different kind of understanding of anime, one rooted in contexts, rather than just texts. In this way, Anime: A Critical Introduction works to create a space in which we can rethink the meanings of anime as it travels around the world.

Описание: With a new species of vampire stalking the streets, the stakes are high. But that's not the only reason hearts are on the line. Danny Reynolds thought Kieran McCade was the one--true love and hot lust forever--until Danny found out Kier's bloody secret and ran away screaming. Months later, Danny is facing his own paranormal crisis, and he needs Kieran's help, but are there enough ways to apologize for breaking a vampire's heart? Nothing about Danny's transformation is normal--not the attack that led to it, and not the symptoms Danny's plagued with--but being in close proximity to Kieran is even worse than becoming a thing that goes bump in the night. Danny and Kieran aren't the only things threatening to bump each other off, though. Secret organizations and clashing vigilante agendas want to get their hands on Danny. His only hope is to find a fix for his problem before he's either captured or his abnormal transition starves him to death. Danny and Kieran might have a real chance to repair their broken romance... but only if they keep Danny alive
