About this ebook

Can someone love anime while hating transforming mecha robots? Is there a world of Japanese animation beyond giant bubble-filled eyes and predictable plots?


In this book of essays, Michael Andre-Driussi explores dozens of rare gems of anime, all built in the "true SF" tradition: movies and TV shows with real stories, real characters, and real explorations of the technological possibilities of the future. The works covered include movies Paprika and Wings of Honneamise, the series "Planetes" and "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya," and more.
