    Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: The Tenchi Muyo series is huge, and the canonicity may not be particularly clear to the uninitiated. This part of the series and Jump take place after the start of the main timeline and GXP. The story takes place in the world of Germinar, and you no longer need to worry about multiversal goddesses, planet-busting trees, and other such things for your stay. Following Masaki Tenchi's half-brother Masaki Kenshi, this story would normally start with the attack on the Swan (a flying landship), but it now starts with the arrival of Kenshi at the Summoning Ruins still not long before. This world is bathed in high levels of a relatively nondescript energy. This prevents nearly all technology from working above a certain altitude in addition to making others extremely sick, eventually to the point of death, should they stay in these areas. Even the pilots of this world's holy mecha cannot enter these areas or they both will shutdown. This has lead to the higher lands being covered in mostly normal flora and the occasional super flora. The people of this world have coped with this by building their cities lower than the effected areas and carving out valleys for travel. Take your pick of the purchases available below with the 1,000CP (choice points) provided, and be sure to read the notes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Origins: How you start in this world. Your age is 15 and your gender stays the same. Both can be changed for 100CP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drop-In (Free) – You just show up in the Holy Land one day.

My odyssey through graduate school was indeed a long night of the soul, and without mustard-seed/mountain-moving faith, this journey would have been stymied a long time before now. Profound thanks to my utterly phenomenal dissertation committee as well, and my chair, Dr. Jerrilyn McGregory, especially.

  • Artificial Intelligence,” States That the Ending Is “The Film’S Most Sentimental Moment, Yet It’S Questionable Whether It Involves Any Real People at All” (220)
    THE STORY OF AI Professor Hobby (William Hurt), addressing a group of scientists, speaks in the beginning of the film of the mechas’ perception of life, their emotions, and their capabilities. Demonstrating his cyborg creation’s response to physical stimuli, he pricks the hand of a mecha named Shelia. Although Shelia reacts to the pain, it doesn’t seem to bother her emotionally. When Hobby asks her to disrobe, Shelia does so with no hesitation; the professor stops her at her blouse and touches her in a way that reveals the robotics inside her humanlike skin. Hobby declares that for his next challenge, he will attempt to create a mecha that can love. One of his colleagues, however, asks the important questions: would this child be able to truly love or would it just be a simulation, and even if the mecha could love, would its owners love it back? With the entrance of David (Haley Joel Osment), the mecha built to love, Spielberg, while telling the story of how the mecha’s guardians relate to him, also challenges the audience in their reactions to David. At first, David is a pleasant enough mecha; while not causing any major problems, his robotic yet kid-like demeanor is a tad creepy. To illustrate, David constantly follows his “mother” around the house, stands perfectly still, and stares at her in wonder, as if he is waiting for her to something special. Eventually, Monica grows tired of David following her around, so she shoves him in the linen closet and locks him in there.

  • Nostalgia in Anime: Redefining Japanese Cultural Identity in Global Media Texts
    NOSTALGIA IN ANIME: REDEFINING JAPANESE CULTURAL IDENTITY IN GLOBAL MEDIA TEXTS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication, Culture and Technology By Susan S. Noh, B.A. Washington, DC April 24, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Susan S. Noh All Rights Reserved ii NOSTALGIA IN ANIME: REDEFINING JAPANESE CULTURAL IDENTITY IN GLOBAL MEDIA TEXT Susan S. Noh, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Michael S. Macovski, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Anime has become a ubiquitous facet of the transnational global media flow, and continues to serve as a unique and acknowledged example of a non-Western media form that has successfully penetrated the global market. Because of its remarkable popularity abroad and a trend towards invasive localization techniques, there have been observations made by Japanese culture scholars, such as Koichi Iwabuchi, who claim that anime is a stateless medium that is unsuitable for representing any true or authentic depiction of Japanese culture and identity. In this paper, I will be exploring this notion of statelessness within the anime medium and reveal how unique sociocultural tensions are reflected centrally within anime narratives or at the contextual peripheries, in which the narrative acts as an indirect response to larger societal concerns. In particular, I apply the notions of reflective and restorative nostalgia, as outlined by Svetlana Boym to reveal how modern Japanese identity is recreated and redefined through anime. In this sense, while anime may appeal to a larger global public, it is far from being a culturally stateless medium.

  • Jpn 199: Tokyo Cyberpunk Machinic Desires, Cyborg Dreams, & Dystopic Cities
    JPN 199: TOKYO CYBERPUNK MACHINIC DESIRES, CYBORG DREAMS, & DYSTOPIC CITIES Special Zero Week Edition STEVEN T. BROWN DEPT. OF EAST ASIAN LANGS. & LITS. Course Description Introducing the history, forms, and discourses of Japanese “cyberpunk” in contemporary anime and film, this course explores the urban dreams (and nightmares) that constitute cyberpunk’s post-apocalyptic vision of Neo- Tokyo. Viewed not as a reflection of contemporary Japanese society but rather as its defamiliarization, Japanese forms of cyberpunk are investigated as sites of contestation for competing ideologies and the delineation of new possibilities of existence, new forms of being, at the intersection between carbon- and silicon-based forms of intelligence and data-processing. Treating Japanese cyberpunk not merely as a literary movement or aesthetic style but more importantly as a philosophical discourse with distinctive questions and premises--i.e., as a philosophical “problematic” with its own sociohistorical specificities and transnational trajectories--we will consider the following topics: •The status of subjectivity in cyberpunk: fabricated, virtual memories and fractured identities. •The human body and its interfaces with technology: cyborg implants, prostheses, replacement parts, and bio-tech hybridities. •Post-apocalyptic visions of class, race, gender, and sexuality. Tokyo Cyberpunk - Brown - 2 •The individual and her relation to the city: new modes of spatiality and habitation, new forms of community, new ways in which individuals circulate and are contained, as well as new forms of surveillance and policing. •Acts of resistance: the politics of cyber-terrorism and other forms of subversion. Warning: The subject matter of this course is for mature audiences only. Some films contain scenes of intense psychological stress, graphic violence, and body mutation.

  • 2013 Panel SLIDES
    The Mecha Anime Panel at Ayacon 2013 Introduction – What Is Mecha Anime? ● Mecha anime is, bluntly, a genre of anime all about robots and similar machines ● Usually rhey are used for fighting, but the genre has also seen much more thought-provoking, low-key stories ● The very best mecha anime often are the ones where the robots themselves sit within the story as something other than just a weapon ● Mecha shows have existed pretty much from the start of anime history, and the genre has grown and evolved in interesting ways over time What This Panel Will Be ● This is going to be a look over mecha anime past and present – from the genre's roots to where it is now ● There'll be information about the most important shows of the decades and the general trends in a changing genre ● There really isn't time in a single panel to do justice to all of this huge genre – all I can offer is a series of good starting points Timeline Part I – The 1960s-70s The Early Days – Tetsujin, Astro Boy etc ● It's fair to say mecha was right there from the start! ● One of the first ever anime, Astro Boy, was about a robot who fought and encountered other robots in the future ● The first “proper” mech – Tetsujin 28 – hit screens in 1963 ● However, it was not a mecha show in the traditional sense – protagonist Shotaro controls Tetsujin with a remote control rather than a cockpit! Mazinger vs Astroganger ● The first “traditional” mecha show – piloted robot, special moves and so on – is technically Astroganger, which aired in October 1972 ● Yet ask most mecha fans and
