The Boys' Book of Airfix by Airfix Or about how they went on a buying spree at the end of the 70's buying up companies like Meccano, and why that was done. All we get from Mr Ward is how 'wonderful', 'brilliant' and 'eagerly awaited by their loyal fans' all the Airfix kits were, even when the Airfix magazine was pointing out inaccuracies that could make them impossible to build. There a number of books that could be written about Airfix. The story of the kits produced, whether good or bad, accurate or awful. The story of the hobby itself; how we now have more companies producing new kits each year than we used to have new kits; how those kits have more, and more accurate, details. Or how about a history of Airfix as a case study in what went wrong with British industry in the 70's and 80's? The complacency, the failure to renew the core product, the poor investment decisions, the failure of the company, the foreign takeovers, and their eventual revival under people who actually seem to like the hobby and the product they sell. Mr Ward had the chance to tell all of those stories. He had all the parts, but he's left us with a sticky, gluey, mess. Feb 02, Robert Hepple rated it it was ok.

The book adopts an over optimistic and rose-tinted view of Airfix plastic models throughout, only grudgingly owning up to the fact that other model manufacturers were not only out there, but probably better known outside of the UK. Enjoyable but flawed. Sep 23, Ron rated it really liked it Shelves: nonfiction. As a child of the '50s-'60s, I got this I expecting a nostalgic trip down memory lane--this book does that to an extent but it is much more of a corporate history and I liked it all the more for that information. I'm familiar with the American modeling scene Revell, Monogram, Aurora, etc. Some great illustrations of box cover art and bios on all the artists that contributed. A short history of Airfix Magazine is also As a child of the '50s-'60s, I got this I expecting a nostalgic trip down memory lane-- this book does that to an extent but it is much more of a corporate history and I liked it all the more for that information. A short history of Airfix Magazine is also featured. I liked Airfix because they produced so many kits that American manufacturers didn't. Airfix model kits were always successful, popular, and profitable, but corporations make strange bedfellows and it was the failure of their side acquisitions that brought the empire down. Mar 14, Walt O'Hara rated it liked it. A comprehensive history of the iconic plastic kit and toy manufacturer from the United Kingdom. If you are a chap of a certain age, you grew up with the famous plastic soldiers of that era. Airfix made a little bit of everything and were used by an entire generation of hobbyists and gamers in many countries. The book writes a narrative of the founding and development of famous Airfix lines. Extensive photographs. Worth a look for nostalgia reasons alone. Jun 25, Gary rated it really liked it.

    On a day in 2000, at a certain pub, the three creators of The Big O got together and to discuss their passionate thoughts…! Kazuyoshi Katayama The director of The Big O, he has also worked on other anime including Sentimental Journey and Giant Robo. An established pro of robot dramas. Keiichi Sato The Big O character and mecha designer/supervisor. He has worked with director Kazuyoshi Katayama since Giant Robo, and has also worked on the City Hunter TV special. Hitoshi Ariga The Big O manga artist (see inside front cover for more information). The Big O is finally starting to be released on video/DVD. Ariga: I‟d like people who weren‟t able to catch it on TV to take this opportunity to check it out Sato: Even people who dismissed it by just saying “I don‟t have cable.” [The Big O was originally shown in Japan on the Wowow cable channel—Ed.] But I guess that‟s how it is. When you can‟t see it, it‟s sour grapes. Ariga: I was hoping that the manga would help to get people interested. I‟m hoping it‟ll get people to buy the DVDs and videos, so it‟s an important piece of media in that respect. I know that I shouldn‟t stray too far. Sato: Well, we‟re going to keep needing your help. (laughs) Ariga: I‟ll do my best. (laughs) Katayama: Well, I‟d like people to enjoy the world of The Big O by both reading the manga and watching the anime.

Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. "Up, up the long delirious burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle, flew; and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God."

Moore Master of Arts Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures September 2017 Title: Inside the Boy Inside the Robot: Mobile Suit Gundam and Interiority Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-1980) is an iconic series in the genre of television anime featuring giant fighting robots, embedded in a system of conventions developed across decades of media aimed at boys that emphasizes action and combat. In this thesis, I argue that Gundam foregrounds the interiority of its main character Amuro, challenging conventions governing the boy protagonist. Using Peter Verstraten's principles of film narratology and Thomas Lamarre’s theory of limited animation, I find in Gundam's narrative strategies sophisticated techniques developed to portray his inner life.

  • Japanese Cinema As Mass Art: an Export of Mass Cinema
    Japanese cinema as mass art: an export of mass cinema by Alex Fucile B.A Hons A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of MA at the University of Central Lancashire 3/2011 Abstract The aim of the thesis is to examine the distribution and consumption of contemporary Japanese cinema in the UK. Through the study of aesthetics it seeks to identify the ways in which content and current distribution methods suit different markets. Noël Carroll’s definition of cinema and contemporary media as ‘mass art’ has informed the way in which the thesis notes variation in film content, and forms the core methodology. The selected texts range from the post-war period (1948) with films by directors such as Akira Kurosawa, to contemporary animation cinema such as the work of Mamoru Hosada (2009). The distribution methods of these films is of particular importance as the thesis links them to the export of Japanese identity. The films are available to a UK audience via a range of distribution methods such as officially distributed DVDs, online distribution, and art house cinema exhibitions. There is an emphasis on digital distribution throughout the thesis and this is reflected through the use of texts downloaded from the internet as well as digital sources such as university encyclopaedias and e- books. Each chapter is organised around a distinctive and specified market for Japanese cinema and includes detailed textual analysis of film examples. In the final chapter, on the popularity of Japanese animation (anime), the analysis is enhanced with empirical research into online consumption groups and internet communication, given these groups’ important role in the distribution of anime outside of Japan.
