Product Description

Review
"More and more people I know around the world are hooked on Japanese TV dramas, even if they don't speak Japanese. If you're not hooked, you will be soon. And you'll need this book. Kudos to Jonathan Clements and Motoko Tamamuro for creating an entertaining and immensely useful encyclopedia. I'm in awe."


Frederik L. Schodt, Author of 'Manga! Manga!' and 'Dreamland Japan'

Synopsis
Japanese TV is deeply connected to Japanese manga, anime, music and film. This encyclopaedic survey of the next cultural tsunami to hit America has over 1,000 entries including production data, synopses, and commentaries on everything from rubber-monster shows to samurai drama, from crime to horror, unlocking an entire cultures pop history as never before. Fully indexed, it contains resources for fans, couch potatoes, and researchers.

5.0 out of 5 stars comprehensive and indispensable, 14 Aug 2007
Another excellent book by Jonathan Clements, this time on the huge and often almost impenetrable world of Japanese dorama (similar to a UK soap opera).This is the only book on the subject in English, at least to my knowledge.The only gripe is that it could do with an updated edition to include the newest doramas but, apart from that, no quibbles whatsoever.
