To the younglings who are pressured to think they are growing too old to fulfill their dreams, you can do it, dreams know no age. To whoever taught me a word, a skill, or an attitude, without all of you I wouldn’t be the person I am today (thank you).

  • Berserk for Berserkir
    Berserk for berserkir: Introducing Combat Trauma to the Compendium of Theories on the Norse Berserker Ritgerð til MA-prófs í 2015 Lily Florence Lowell Geraty May 2015 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Berserk for berserkir: Introducing Combat Trauma to the Compendium of Theories on the Norse Berserker Ritgerð til MA-prófs í 2015 Lily Florence Lowell Geraty Kt.: 160590-4679 Leiðbeinandi: Viðar Pálsson May 2015 Acknowledgements Thank you so much to my wonderful thesis advisor, Viðar Pálsson for his support and encouragement, as well as his translation of my abstract. ABSTRACT: English This thesis attempts to provide a brief overview of major pieces of the English-language scholarship concerning the Norse berserker. It tries to demonstrate consistent flaws in scholarly treatment and the hollow nature of many major theories and attitudes. In doing so, I hope to demonstrate the importance of brining in outside scholarship on the berserker, specifically the work of Jonathan Shay, who’s book Achilles in Vietnam, demonstrated a strong continuity of experience between Achilles in Homer’s Iliad, and the experiences of American soldiers in the Vietnam War. I believe his work can be equally applied to the Norse berserker, and hope to introduce Shay into the conversation. ABSTRACT: Íslensku Í ritgerðinni er veitt stutt yfirlit yfir helstu rannsóknir fræðimanna á norrænum berserkjum sem birst hafa á ensku. Færð eru rök fyrir því að margar þeirra kenninga um berserki, sem verið hafa áberandi, séu annað hvort ófullkomnar eða risti of grunnt í viðhorfum og forsendum. Það er ætlun höfundar að sýna fram á nauðsyn þess að veita nýrri sýn á efnið úr annarri átt, utan fræðasviðs norrænna fræða en innan berkerkjafræða, og víkka þannig sjóndeildarhringinn.

A Short Epic With Fantastic CharactersBy Tyler S.The art for this book is, as always from Kentaro Miura, stunning, and the story is fantastic. It's shorter than I would want, but still a wonderful story, and while it isn't the same as Berserk in tone, Miura's characters still feel fully formed, just like they do in Berserk. That's probably the best thing I can say about this book: Miura can (seemingly effortlessly) make characters deep and fully formed in no time flat, and it instantly creates a book you want to read to completion multiple times.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A bold creative story of cosimc horror and hopeBy CustomerThis is a boldly creative story and world that only Kentaro Miura could make come to life. High fantasy, scientific objectivity, and cosmic horror combine to tell a deeply human story. A story of hatred and compassion, heroism and villainy, division and understanding, victory and failure, and most of all hope and determination.

  • The Otaku Lifestyle: Examining Soundtracks in the Anime Canon
    THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ B.M., University of Central Missouri, 2014 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 © 2019 MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON Michelle Jurkiewicz, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2019 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, or anime, has been popular around the globe for the last sixty years. Anime has its own fan culture in the United States known as otaku, or the obsessive lifestyle surrounding manga and anime, which has resulted in American production companies creating their own “anime.” Japanese filmmakers do not regard anime simply as a cartoon, but instead realize it as genre of film, such as action or comedy. However, Japanese anime is not only dynamic and influential because of its storylines, characters, and themes, but also for its purposeful choices in music. Since the first anime Astro Boy and through films such as Akira, Japanese animation companies combine their history from the past century with modern or “westernized” music. Unlike cartoon films produced by Disney or Pixar, Japanese anime do not use music to mimic the actions on-screen; instead, music heightens and deepens the plot and emotions. This concept is practiced in live-action feature films, and although anime consists of hand-drawn and computer-generated cartoons, Japanese directors and animators create a “film” experience with their dramatic choice of music.
