Reviews

Marc Steinberg opens up brave new possibilities for the study of global media cultures. Attending to the watershed years of Japan's 1960s and the ascendance of televisual animation he details how entire commodity regimes came to circulate around the idea of the anime character. Original and timely, historically dense and theoretically acute, Anime's Media Mix definitively teaches us that anime can no longer be thought outside the networks of its transmediation. --Marilyn Ivy, Columbia University
