Description

A 'genre killer' guide to the world of anime featuring 100 movies and television series, from all-time classics to cult favourites and under-the-radar gems. Anime is a vast and vibrant universe. From soot sprites to super robots, Dragon Balls to the Dragon Slayer, it’s drenched in Japanese culture and overflowing with must-see megahits. For newcomers, it can be overwhelming. This book is here to help. Trust this expertly curated guide to reveal the depth, breadth and brilliance of Japan’s greatest export. Across more than one hundred emphatically championed titles, you’ll chart the course of the medium’s most influential directors, unpacking the key genres and recurring tropes that shape anime’s storytelling. From the arthouse tragedy of Belladonna of Sadness to the suave swagger of Cowboy Bebop and the genre-busting touchstone that is Haruhi Suzumiya, there are worlds beyond worlds begging to be explored – all unexpectedly connected through shared ideas, visual language and wild creative cross-pollination. Immerse yourself in hidden gems and essential classics alike. Navigate the rules and mythologies used to build these diverse universes. Master the cultural references needed to appreciate the dialogue and subtext. Each title will lead to your next favourite – and a deeper love for the artform. You’ll be an ‘otaku’ before you know it.
