This is a true text book Im sure some school uses somewhere. Im sure this is one of many but I stumbled over this so Im using it. Ill try and edit this comment as I get further into the study of the contents. So far... So good!11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. A great scholarly resourceBy etcwhateverThere arent many books that deal with animation from the perspective of film theory; much less Japanese animation (anime); which makes Lamarres 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.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I never thought much of anime; but after reading it its really opened up my mind to how its made and the psychology behind its construction
