A great scholarly resource

There aren't many books that deal with animation from the perspective of film theory, much less Japanese animation (anime), which makes Lamarre's book all the more valuable. His approach is based largely on the specific compositional properties of animation, but he delves into issues of gender, technology, and philosophy as well. My primary interest is the work of Hayao Miyazaki and I was pleased to see his films discussed at length. The writing itself is clear and enjoyable, although it may be a little heady for casual anime fans. For those interested in animation as it relates to film studies, however, I would highly recommend it.

The struggle of Density...
1 Jan 2013

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Specifically, I kept wondering whether this book was unnecessarily and irrecoverably dense, or I was... I'm still not entirely sure, but when multiple other students in my animation class asked "was this translated from another language?", I felt a lot better about how difficult this was as a text.
Some of the points are pretty interesting as it explores trying to figure out what anime is as a part of, and apart from, the rest of cinema. But they're subjective enough that the arguments could've been stronger in my opinion if stated in plainer language, and... you know... SHORTER.
