Book excerpt: Your complete anime persona takes account of your unique personality and appearance, and develops and accentuates those traits which have a natural place in an anime life. Your individual characteristics, aside from being developed in alignment with your "ideal" anime life, are also contrasted with a group of friends, each also committed to developing an anime lifestyle and persona. Together, individual similarities and differences help create a dynamic and fun group environment. And since no anime lifestyle is complete without some exciting plot-line, the group is put into action going on adventures, working on projects, and achieving goals together. In chapter 1, you will take several quizzes to help you determine what anime personality traits you have. This will help you find your niche among the friends who will take the anime dream to the next level, providing a context for your individual character to be fully realized. In chapter 2, you will learn how you can bring the anime dream to it’s ultimate manifestation by structuring your group around a Group Focus. The Group Focus serves as a kind of plot-line within which talents will be realized and adventures will be had. In chapter 3, you’ll learn how to plan exciting adventures. From fun afternoons to overnight trips - adventures of all sorts are discussed in detail, as well as how to make them affordable and safe. Chapter 4 discusses ways to add anime magic to holidays.

Book excerpt: A deadly new weapon hits the international arms market---and the only way to preserve the balance of power in the Mideast is to hijack the Iranian sub that carries it. United States Navy Commander and Medal of Honor winner Dan Lenson has been handed another outside-the-box assignment. TAG Charlie, an elite team of active-duty sailors, SEALs, and civilian analysts, is tasked to investigate and defuse emerging naval threats around the globe. When the Skhval-K---an unstoppable rocket torpedo designed to destroy U.S. aircraft carriers---is demonstrated at a Moscow arms show, Dan tries to buy one so that the U.S. Navy can build countermeasures. But he's lucky to escape with his life when he's set up by Russia's new counterespionage service. When the Russians sell the new weapon to Iran and China instead, Dan decides that if he can't buy it, he'll steal it. But when a daring nighttime penetration of Iran's largest naval base goes wrong too, Dan finds himself captaining a submarine he barely knows how to submerge, pursued by Iranian destroyers and sub-hunting aircraft through the shallow, hazardous Persian Gulf. Authentic action and daring espionage combine in a timely thriller set in a hair-trigger military environment.
Download or read book Holy Anime! written by Patrick Drazen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity has been in Japan for five centuries, but embraced by less than one percent of the population. It’s a complicated relationship, given the sudden appearance in Japan of Renaissance Catholicism which was utterly unlike the historic faiths of Shinto and Buddhism; Japan had to invent a word for “religion” since Japan did not share the west’s reliance on faith in a personal God. Japan’s views of this “outsider” religion resemble America’s view of the “outsider” Islamic faith. Understanding this through the book Orientalism by Edward Said, Patrick Drazen samples depictions of Christianity in the popular Japanese media of comics and cartoons. The book begins with the work of postwar comics master Tezuka Osamu, with results that range from the comic to the revisionist to the blasphemous and obscene.

Book Synopsis The Art of Studio Gainax by : Dani Cavallaro
Download or read book The Art of Studio Gainax written by Dani Cavallaro and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formed by a small group of university students in the early 1980s, Studio Gainax is now one of the most adventurous and widely esteemed anime companies on the scene. And it is fascinating for its unique approach to animation. Formal experimentation, genre-straddling, self-reflexivity, unpredictable plot twists, a gourmet palate for stylishness, proverbially controversial endings, and a singularly iconoclastic worldview are some of the hallmarks. This documentation of the studio's achievements provides a critical overview of both the company and its films: in-depth examinations of particular titles that best represent the company's overall work, including television series such as Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and Neon Genesis Evangelion, and feature films such as Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise and Gunbuster vs. Diebuster. Each chapter highlights the contribution made by a specific production to the company's progress.
