Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke: Experiencing Contemporary Japanese Animation by S. Napier

4.0

Really interesting analysis of the anime industry and thematic concepts prevalent in films/series mentioned in the book. I have loved anime since my teenage years, and the book provided new recommendations to watch based on the thought-provoking analysis. Would recommend it to those interested in anime and would love to read into deeper discussions regarding certain shows and their symbolism.
