5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 19 Mar 2003
This review is from: The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917 (Paperback)
An incredibly detailed, exhaustive survey of a medium dating back to 1917, packed with production gossip, contentious reviews, and criticism that pulls no punches. An excellent book by two award-winning authors, and the biggest work on the subject in any language, including Japanese. But be warned, if you're looking for a colouring book or something full of pretty pictures, this is an *encyclopaedia* designed for reference, and not a shallow curio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dead handy, 4 Jul 2002
By N. J. Birkenshaw "rabbitzofdoom" (Guildford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917 (Paperback)
I've saved a lot of time and money by following this book (it's easily paid for itself), since I seem to have similar taste to the authors. There is a lot of bad anime out there, and this has helped me avoid it, but it's also helped me discover many good things I otherwise wouldn't have done (the work of Miyazaki for one.)

It's well written (if sometimes too concise) with both insight and a passion for the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars pure brilliance, 27 Nov 2003
This review is from: The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917 (Paperback)
Never in my time have i experienced a more cost effective book, this encyclopedia documents over 2000 anime from as far back as 1917. This book is 500+ pages long and each anime has a review, cast (director, animator etc.) it also contains a rating to warn the viewer if there is sensitive material, V = violence N =nudity L = language.
This book also acts as quite a hands door stop and coffe table.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm... Very concise
Firstly, I should point out that I'm a student of graphic design. This being said, I was very dissapointed with this book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding work or reference that's hugely readable.
As a keen anime fan, I have long searched for an easy to use and fun reference for information on the great variety of animations that Japan has produced. Read more
