This guide to anime offers an overview of the art form, looking at
its development in Japan and its export to other cultures. It
includes a history of Japanese animation from early examples to the
relaunch of animation as a viable commercial entity and its
enormous rise in popularity after WWII. Anime explains the
difference between manga and anime, offering a brief history of
manga including its development from traditional art form
(woodblock prints) to massive commercial success with millions of
readers in Japan and worldwide. Odell and Le Blanc also consider
anime style and genres, its market and importance in Japanese
culture, and its perception in the West including controversy, such
as criticisms of sex and violence in anime that affect other
national markets, including the UK (notably Urotsukidoji) and the
USA, where it is considered a 'kids only' market.
