A "genre-killer" illustrated guide to the world of anime featuring the most important movies and television series, from all-time classics and cult favorites to under-the-radar gems.
Anime is one of Japan's greatest cultural exports with its films enchanting audiences across the globe. Ultimate Anime celebrates the medium's most incredible achievements and indelible moments to date. Packed with film stills and essays on directors and Japanese pop culture, Ultimate Anime is an irresistible "way in" to the art form for newcomers as well as an essential purchase for even the most hardcore followers of the medium.
Whether looking at the ephemeral arthouse tragedy of Belladonna of Sadness, the iconic legacy of Cowboy Bebop, or the genre-busting touchstone of Suzumiya Haruhi, there are worlds beyond worlds worth exploring once a new fan has finished their first Studio Ghibli binge. Written by anime expert Joe O'Connell, Ultimate Anime takes readers on an exciting tour of the finest examples of the art of anime by its greatest creators.
O'Connell writes in-depth commentary on each featured film and recommends other films that have similar themes and subjects. He also profiles each film and illustrates them with stunning stills from the movies themselves. This volume celebrates the achievements of the genre’s most transforming films, explores each film's creation, the minds that brought them to life, and the thoroughly Japanese culture and themes woven throughout, all while breaking down what makes each of them an enduring classic. Bringing the world of anime to life on the page, this book will help fans old and new quickly find a new masterpiece to discover and enjoy.
The defining work on the subject, it is a treasure trove full of surprises for the expert while also serving as an intriguing introduction for the newly initiated. The best single volume on the genre, Ultimate Anime is the book for anyone interested in the worldwide phenomenon that is anime.
