The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917, Revised and Expanded Edition - Softcover
Synopsis
Bigger and better! Our first edition rocked the anime world with its in-depth entries on anime famous and obscure and its superb index/film finder. Now this fantastic book is 40 percent larger—with all-new entries on hundreds of anime released after 2001, updates on older entries, and over fifty thousand words on anime creators (like Tezuka and Otomo) and genres (“Early Anime,” “Science Fiction and Robots,” etc.). An absolute must-have for every anime shelf!
"If I only had space on my overcrowded shelf for one book on anime, this would be it. If I had no space on my shelf I'd select two books at random and drop them into the bin, just to make room-- it's that indispensable."-- Paul Jacques, Anime on DVD
"While you may not agree with their opinons on a given anime, they are informative and entertaining, especially when skewering a really bad anime." -- Frames Per Second

Reviews
The most comprehensive guide to Japanese anime film now has more than 3,000 entries. Most cover titles, studios, and creators, but there are also 28 entries for themes such as Fantasy and fairy tales and Puppetry and stop-motion. Title entries include information on English-language releases, formats and running times, and "as many crew members as space allowed" in addition to plot outline and critical commentary. A rating system warns parents of films they may not wish their children to see. The fact that there are only around 150 black-and-white illustrations may disappoint some fans.
