<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>What is it about anime that is so appealing to a transnational fan base? Is the American attraction to anime similar to the popularity of previous fads of Japanese culture, like the Japonisants of fin-de-siecle France enamored of Japanese art and architecture, or the American poets in the fifties and sixties who latched onto haiku? Or is this something new, a product of global culture in which ethnic identities carry less weight? This book explores these issues by taking a look at anime fans and the place they occupy, both in terms of subculture in Japan and America, and in relation to Western perceptions of Japan since the late 1800s.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A CHOICE Review of Books Outstanding Academic TitlePraise for Susan Napier's previous book, Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke: "A thoughtful and carefully researched account." - The New York Times"This worthy addition to the burgeoning literature on Japanese popular culture will stand the test of time." - Choice</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Susan J.
