Japanese Influence on American Children's Television examines the
gradual, yet dramatic, transformation of Saturday morning
children's programming from being rooted in American traditions and
popular culture to reflecting Japanese popular culture. In this
modern era of globalization and global media/cultural convergence,
the book brings to light an often overlooked phenomenon of the
gradual integration of narrative and character conventions borrowed
from Japanese storytelling into American children's media. The book
begins with a brief history of Saturday morning in the United
States from its earliest years, and the interaction between
American and Japanese popular media during this time period. It
then moves onto reviewing the dramatic shift that occurred within
the Saturday morning block through both an overview of the
transitional decades as well as an in-depth analysis of the
transformative ascent of the shows Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,
Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!.
