Product Description

From the Author

Back cover blurb
For anyone who thinks "Japanimation" is just big eyes, and big guns, read on...

ANIME INTERVIEWS:

The First Five Years of ANIMERICA, ANIME & MANGA MONTHLY (1992-97)

Selected Interviews with the Masters of Japanese Animation and Comics

Edited by TRISH LEDOUX

============

Contrary to what you may have heard, "Japanimation" (although we prefer the Japanese word, "anime") is not just about scantily clad babes or rampaging, many-tentacled monsters. It's an industry with a more than thirty-year history of surprisingly engrossing television animation, wry and sophisticated direct-to-home-video or "OAV" releases, and thought-provoking feature films. As an artform, the anime industry in Japan is as dense and varied as that of television and live-action films in America, and just as diverse. However, as yet, only a fraction of that thirty-year-plus history has seen wide release overseas.

In this book, the very first collection of its kind, you will hear insights directly fromthe mouths and minds of the anime and manga creators themselves, in interviews which are often the only ones on record in English. Some of these creators are larger-than-life legends in their native Japan, some are up-and-coming young talents, but all have a lot to say on the subject of their work.

If you're already familiar with Japanese animation and comics, or if you are new to the artform, the interviews in this book will give you a whole new appreciation for the history ofanime and manga, as well as for their meticulously created worlds.

============

TRISH LEDOUX is author of THE COMPLETE ANIME GUIDE, and editor of ANIMERICA, ANIME & MANGA MONTHLY--America's leading magazine of Japanese animation and comics. Fluent in Japanese, she is also known for her work as a translator, screenwriter, consultant and voice-actor on enough anime videos to fill a rental store. END

2.0 out of 5 stars Animerica makes a great mag..., 6 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anime Interviews: The First Five Years of Animerica, Anime & Mango Monthly (1992-97) (Paperback)
But, the book isn't what I hoped. Although it does say "Interviews." I liked it enough to not sell it, I got to see into the minds of my fave manga artists! A must if your for the interviews, but it isn't a review of any series.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a crappy book!, 2 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anime Interviews: The First Five Years of Animerica, Anime & Mango Monthly (1992-97) (Paperback)
If you are as big of a fan of anime as I am this book will tell you nothing you don't know. Don't bother to get this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars I didn't like it., 24 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Anime Interviews: The First Five Years of Animerica, Anime & Mango Monthly (1992-97) (Paperback)
I think this book stunk!!! It didn't tell me anything I didn't know before. I'm just disgraced about this book. Whoever wrote it should be ashamed.
