Anime
Author: Jonathan Clements
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
Japanese animation is at the nexus of an international multimedia industry worth over $23.6 billion a year, linked to everything from manga to computer games, Pokémon and plushies. In this comprehensive guide, Jonathan Clements chronicles the production and reception history of the entire medium, from a handful of hobbyists in the 1910s to the Oscar-winning Spirited Away and beyond. Exploring the cultural and technological developments of the past century, Clements addresses how anime's history has been written by Japanese scholars, and covers previously neglected topics such as wartime instructional animation and work-for-hire for American clients. Founded on the testimonies of industry professionals, and drawing on a myriad of Japanese-language documents, memoirs and books, Anime: A History illuminates the anime business from the inside – investigating its innovators, its unsung heroes and its controversies. This new edition has been updated and revised throughout, with full colour illustrations and three new chapters on anime's fortunes among Chinese audiences and subcontractors, 21st century trends in 'otaku economics', and the huge transformations brought about by the rise of global streaming technology.

Book Description
Record of Lodoss War is heroic fantasy at its finest, set in a timeless world of knights and elves, gods and witches, that has led to some of the most popular series of animated films and TV series, comics and graphic novels of all time. Chronicles of the Heroic Knight Book One is the latest graphic novel from the world of Lodoss, and introduces Spark, the young knight-in- training who serves and waits for the day that his name will appear on the list of knights. Although he dreams of being a glorious hero in the wars of Lodoss, he fails in his first assignment from the king, guarding the powerful, magical Crystal Ball of Souls. It is stolen from under his very nose by Dark Elves in the service of the evil Vagnado, the sorceror of Marmo. The beloved Grey Witch characters Deedlit the Elf and Parn the Knight also return to guide and help Spark, but the focus of this series is the new heroes who join Spark in his quest to retrieve the Crystal Ball: Leif, the beautiful half-elf warrior, the brave Gallac, who is also known as the Blue Shooting Star, and the beautiful leather-clad adventuress Laina. This comic series is as exciting as the Heroic Knight anime series, but tells a very different story, richer and with deeper character development.Record of Lodoss War is heroic fantasy at its finest, set in a timeless world of knights and elves, gods and witches, that has led to some of the most popular series of animated films and TV series, comics and graphic novels of all time.
