While Anime can be simple and less detailed like many TV animation shows, there are incredible Anime classics that have revolutionized animation and garnered fans across the globe.
In Ultimate Anime author Joe O’Connell and Thames & Hudson have compiled the 100 Essential Anime Films And Series in a beautiful, oversize, hardbound book brimming with color images.
I’m guilty. I was one of those American animation snobs that poo-pooed Japanese Anime. At one time I considered it a low form of animation and not worthy of my time.
I always associated Anime with the low-budget limited animation TV shows like Speed Racer, Simba, etc.
It wasn’t until I watched such Anime classics like Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Howell’s Moving Castle, My Friend Totoro and other amazing Anime films that I finally had my eyes opened.
What a revelation! I was blown away with the attention to detail, incredible story-telling and the imagination behind each film. Soon I found myself watching Anime TV shows, more films and even delving into Anime’s printed counterpart: Manga.
In Ultimate Anime 100 Essential Films And Series are spotlighted. and here’s what’s amazing. Did you know that there are Anime for practically ever subject you can imagine?
Sports, Romance, Mystery, Horror, Cooking, Science Fiction-there are limitless genre’s explored. Sure some are a little crude, but many are brilliant and even when sub-titled are excellent views.
Do yourself a favor, take a chance and watch Anime. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
I highly recommend Ultimate Anime, a stellar guide to the world of Japanese animation. Each selected film or series is examined fully accompanied by full-color photos of key scenes and characters.
It’s a huge deluxe, hardbound book that any Anime fan will be proud to have in their collection.
Psalms 55:22 - Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
