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.
