The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917 Revised and Expanded Edition

About this book

Bigger and better! Our first edition rocked the anime world with its in-depth entries on anime famous and obscure and its superb index/film finder. Now this fantastic book is 40 percent largerwith all-new entries on hundreds of anime released after 2001 updates on older entries and over fifty thousand words on anime creators (like Tezuka and Otomo) and genres (Early Anime Science Fiction and Robots etc.). An absolute must-have for every anime shelf! "If I only had space on my overcrowded shelf for one book on anime this would be it. If I had no space on my shelf Id select two books at random and drop them into the bin just to make room-- its that indispensable."-- Paul Jacques Anime on DVD "While you may not agree with their opinons on a given anime they are informative and entertaining especially when skewering a really bad anime." -- Frames Per Second
