  • Confirmado El Lanzamiento De Sakura Wars El 28 De Abril En PS4
    Confirmado el lanzamiento de Sakura Wars el 28 de abril en PS4 El año pasado, anunciamos que Sakura Wars, una de las principales franquicias de SEGA, llegaría a Occidente. Con gran placer podemos ya desvelar que la fecha oficial de lanzamiento de Sakura Wars en PlayStation 4 será el 28 de abril de 2020, ¡solamente quedan unos pocos meses por delante! Descubre lo que Sakura Wars tiene que ofrecerte en el nuevo tráiler del juego para Occidente: Una llamada para algo verdaderamente especial Como una de las principales franquicias de SEGA en Japón, Sakura Wars debutó en la SEGA Saturn en 1996 y se convirtió en una exitosa franquicia que abarca secuelas, spin-offs, anime, manga e incluso espectáculos escénicos. Algunas de las mejores mentes creativas en las industrias JRPG y anime han unido sus talentos con SEGA para llevar Sakura Wars a una nueva generación y a una nueva audiencia en Occidente. Para este reinicio, SEGA ha traído a muchos de los creadores originales y ha recibido importantes contribuciones en cuanto al diseño de personajes a cargo de Tite Kubo, Yukiko Horiguchi, BUNBUN, Fumikane Shimada, Ken Sugimori, Shigenori Soejima, y muchos más para crear una producción espectacular. La Imperial Combat Revue se sitúa en el centro de la escena como la fuerza defensiva de Tokio contra la amenaza demoníaca en esta desmesurada aventura. Los soldados están en tiempos de guerra, no así los artistas del teatro que se hallan en tiempos de paz, la División de las Flores no está cumpliendo con su legado y corre el riesgo de ser clausurada.

  • Representations and Reality: Defining the Ongoing Relationship Between Anime and Otaku Cultures By: Priscilla Pham
    Representations and Reality: Defining the Ongoing Relationship between Anime and Otaku Cultures By: Priscilla Pham Submitted to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Contemporary Art, Design, and New Media Art Histories Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 2021 © Priscilla Pham, 2021 Abstract This major research paper investigates the ongoing relationship between anime and otaku culture through four case studies; each study considers a single situation that demonstrates how this relationship changes through different interactions with representation. The first case study considers the early transmedia interventions that began to engage fans. The second uses Takashi Murakami’s theory of Superflat to connect the origins of the otaku with the interactions otaku have with representation. The third examines the shifting role of the otaku from that of consumer to producer by means of engagement with the hierarchies of perception, multiple identities, and displays of sexualities in the production of fan-created works. The final case study reflects on the 2.5D phenomenon, through which 2D representations are brought to 3D environments. Together, these case studies reveal the drivers of the otaku evolution and that the anime–otaku relationship exists on a spectrum that teeters between reality and representation. i Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my primary advisor, Ala Roushan, for her continued support and confidence in my writing throughout this paper’s development. Her constructive advice, constant guidance, and critical insights helped me form this paper. Thank you to Dr. David McIntosh, my secondary reader, for his knowledge on anime and the otaku world, which allowed me to change my perspective of a world that I am constantly lost in.
