For students, fans, and scholars alike, this wideranging primer on anime employs a panoply of critical approachesWellknown through hit movies like Spirited Away, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell, anime has a long history spanning a wide range of directors, genres, and styles. Christopher Boltons Interpreting Anime is a thoughtful, carefully organized introduction to Japanese animation for anyone eager to see why this genre has remained a vital, adaptable art form for decades.Interpreting Anime is easily accessible and structured around individual films and a broad array of critical approaches. Each chapter centers on a different featurelength anime film, juxtaposing it with a particular mediumlike literary fiction, classical Japanese theater, and contemporary stage dramato reveal what is unique about animes way of representing the world. This analysis is abetted by a suite of questions provoked by each film, along with Boltons incisive responses.Throughout, Interpreting Anime applies multiple frames, such as queer theory, psychoanalysis, and theories of postmodernism, giving readers a thorough understanding of both the cultural underpinnings and critical significance of each film. What emerges from the sweep of Interpreting Anime is Boltons original, articulate case for what makes anime unique as a medium: how it at once engages profound social and political realities while also drawing attention to the very challenges of representing reality in animations imaginative and compelling visual forms.
