The Second Try
The Second Try Jimmy Wolk Chapter I: The 12th Shinji Ikari, Third Children and designated pilot of Evangelion Unit-01, had just reached a new sync- ratio record. And as Rei Ayanami suspected, the former holder of this record, known as Asuka Langley Soryu, wasn't very pleased with this. So she didn't pay much attention to the rants of the Second Children, who made obviously ironical statements about the 'great, invincible Shinji' while holding herself; swaying in front of her locker. Instead, Rei finished changing from the plugsuit the pilots were supposed to wear during their time in the entry plugs of the EVAs or the test plugs, into her casual school uniform. As soon as she was done, she went silently for the door of the female pilots' changing room, whispered "Sayonara" and left. With the First Children gone, Asuka could finally release all the feelings that tensed up the last hours in a powerful... ...sigh. She still had problems to play this charade in front of everyone, and it seemed to only grow harder. She wasn't sure if she would be able to keep it up much longer at all. Not while these thoughts disturbed her mind; thoughts of all the things that happened... or will happen soon. Lost in her worries, she failed to notice someone entering the room, sneaking up to her and suddenly embracing her from behind; encircling her arms with his own. She tensed up noticeably as she felt the touch, even though (or maybe just because) she knew exactly who the stranger was. -
IHBB Asian Championships: Sports and Entertainment Bee: Round 1
IHBB Asian Championships: Sports and Entertainment Bee: Round 1 1. This man missed his team’s final penalty in a quarterfinal shootout against the United Arab Emirates, causing his team to crash out of the 2015 Asian Cup. In the service of his club, he once informed the press that he would score two goals in the Revierderby before getting exactly that amount against rivals Schalke 04. This man became the first Asian to net a hat trick in the Premiership after he was signed by Manchester United in 2012, but has since returned to Germany. For the point, name this Borussia Dortmund midfielder from Japan. ANSWER: Shinji Kagawa 2. This band appeared on several episodes of Full House, one of which saw them perform the song “Forever” with John Stamos. One song by the Barenaked Ladies is titled for a member of this band and references a story about that man spending time with a psychologist over his mental illness. Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love is a relative of Mike Love, a member of this band whose early hits included “Surfin’ Safari” and “ Little Deuce Coupe”. This band later referenced several Caribbean locations like Aruba and Jamaica in their hit song “Kokomo”. For the points, name this legendary rock act whose other hits have included “Good Vibrations” and “I Get Around”. ANSWER: The Beach Boys 3. In 2016, a character from this franchise received a huge 25 meter statue in Shanghai courtesy of ChinaJoy expo, setting a Guinness record as the largest of its’ kind. The plea “try smiling” is uttered by a character in this franchise after his friend nearly dies in a fight against Ramiel, a shapeshifting blue octahedron known as the Fifth Angel. -

Prof. Maria Roberta Novielli Correlatore Ch. Prof. Davide Giurlando Laureando Maura Valentini Matricola 841221 Anno Accademico 2016 / 2017 要旨 数年前、私は『妄想代理人』というアニメを見たことがある。その作品はあのとき見てい たアニメに全く異なるもので、私を非常に驚かせた。一見普通のように見える探偵物語は次第 に奇妙な展開になり、私はその魅力に引き込まれた。当時の私はそのアニメの監督をまだ知ら なかったが、「このような作品を考え出すことができる人は素晴らしい映画人と言っても過言では ない」と思ったことをはっきり覚えている。小さい頃から新しい視線で見た現実について語る物語 に興味があった。故に、私の卒業論文を夢、思い出、シュールレアリスムなどを使って違った現実 を語る幻視的芸術家の今敏と森本晃司について書くことに決めた。 今敏と森本晃司はお互いに何の関係もないと考えられる。前者はマッドハウスと協力し て海外でも有名な映画をつくり、後者は多岐にわたる才能を持つ芸術家で、主に短編映画で 知られている。しかし、よく見ると二人には多くの共通点がある。この論文の目的は今と森本の 作品を基にして二人の共通点を解説するということである。 はじめに、二人の社会文化的影響を示すために、歴史的背景と監督たちの経歴を短 く説明する。次に、二人が協力して作った『Magnetic Rose』という映画を分析して、二人の主 な特徴を見つける。その特徴は限界がない特別な現実観、テクノロジーの魅力、そして音楽や 比喩を使って表した物の意味が深まることである。最後に今と森本のさまざまな作品を分析し、 二人の特徴を見つけて、検討する。 この研究は私の情熱から生まれたものであり、この論文を読んで今敏や森本晃司の作 品に興味を持つ人が増えることを願う。 INDICE INTRODUZIONE .............................................................................................. 3 CAPITOLO 1.

Nihilism and Existentialist Rhetoric in Neon Genesis Evangelion

Y. TSANG King’s College London, Department of Comparative Literature, Ph.D. Student Generally categorized as low art, Japanese manga and anime draw insufficient overseas critical attention, regardless of their enormous cultural influence in East Asia. Their popularity not simply proved the success of cultural industrialization in Japan, but also marks a series of local phenomena, reflecting social dynamicity and complexity, that deserve interdisciplinary analysis. During the lost decade in the 1990s, which many scholars studied with economic accent (Katz 1998, Grimes 2001, Lincoln 2001, Amyx 2004, Beason and Patterson 2004, Rosenbluth and Thies 2010), manga and anime industry in Japan entered its golden age. The publication and broadcast of some remarkable works, such as Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Crayon Shin-chan and Slam Dunk, not only helped generate huge income (nearly 600 billion yen earned in the manga market in 1995) that alleviated economic depression, but also distracted popular focus from the urge of demythologising national growth. -
The Dissemination and Localization of Anime in China: Case Study on the Chinese Mobile Video Game Onmyoji
The dissemination and localization of anime in China: Case study on the Chinese mobile video game Onmyoji Wuqian Qian The Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies Master Program in Asian Studies, 120 hp Autumn term 2016 Supervisor: Jaqueline Berndt English title: Professor Abstract In the 2017 Chinese Gaming Industry Report, a new type of video games called 二次 元 game is noted as a growing force in the game industry. Onmyoji is one of those games produced by Netease and highly popular with over 200 million registered players in China alone. 二次元 games are characterized by Japanese-language dubbing and anime style in character design. However, Onmyoji uses also Japanese folklore, which raises two questions: one is why Netease chose to make such a 二次元 game, the other why a Chinese game using Japanese folklore is so popular among Chinese players. The attractiveness of an exotic culture may help to explain the latter, but it does not work for the first. Thus, this thesis implements a media studies perspective in order to substantiate its hypothesis that it is the dissemination of anime in China that has made Onmyoji possible and successful. Unlike critics who regard anime as an imported product from Japan which is different from domestic Chinese animation and impairs its development, this study pays attention to the interrelation between media platforms and viewer (or user) demographics, and it explores the positive influence of Japanese anime on the Chinese creative industry, implying the feasibility of anime or 二次元 products to be created in other countries than Japan. -
The Cultural Context and the Interpretation of Japanese 'Lolita
Intercultural Communication Studies XXIII: 2 (2014) HINTON The Cultural Context and the Interpretation of Japanese ‘Lolita Complex’ Style Anime Perry R. HINTON Independent Academic Researcher, UK Abstract: Japanese animated films or anime have been popular in the West since the early 1990s. However, media interest in anime (particularly in Britain) has tended to focus on negative representations of anime concerning violence, sexuality and young girls. The current paper undertakes an examination of the genre of ‘Lolita complex’ or rorikon anime, the focus of these concerns. It is argued that the term ‘Lolita’ has a culturally specific meaning and that it has a different meaning in Western culture to that in Japan. This has led to a misperception of aspects of Japanese society and its cultural products such as anime. Furthermore it is argued that rorikon anime reflects teenage anxieties about the adult world, and changes in society and gender roles rather than perverse male sexual desire. An examination of the elements of rorikon anime shows that, rather than the product of a cultural ‘other’, it reflects features common across Japanese and Western cultures. Keywords: Japanese anime, Lolita complex, rorikon, shoujo, British media, cultural context, gender roles 1. Introduction One of the key aspects of globalization is the ready availability of the cultural products of one country to other nations round the world. The development of the internet as a global marketplace and its social media role for creating communities of fans of these products has further enhanced this cross-cultural communication. This can be seen most clearly in the popularity of Japanese popular culture (in terms of a range of products such as animated films (anime), comic books (manga), video games and toys) in Western countries. -
Anime: the Cultural Signification of the Otaku Anime
ANIME: THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICATION OF THE OTAKU ANIME: THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICATION OF THE OTAKU By Jeremy Sullivan, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Jeremy Sullivan, September 2005 MASTER OF ARTS (2005) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Anime: The Cultural Signification of the Otaku AUTHOR: Jeremy Sullivan, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Lorraine York NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 103 Abstract Technology has allowed nearly instantaneous communication around the globe and this study examines how cultural transmission occurs through the consumption of television and film. Anime, a term used to refer to a genre of animation that is of Japanese origin, has become immensely popular in North America and has come to simultaneously come to signify a commodifled Japanese youth culture. However, the spectrum of Japanese animation is restricted and controversial anime that includes offensive themes, violent, sexual or illicit material are not televised, or publicized except when associated with negative behaviour. The Otaku are labeled as a socially deviant subculture that is individualistic and amoral. Their struggle for autonomy is represented by their production, circulation and consumption of manga and anime, despite the insistence of the dominant Japanese and North American cultural discourses. This study will examine how publicly circulating definitions, media review, historical relations and censorhip have affected the portrayal of otaku subculture in Japan and internationally. in Acknowledgements A special thanks to my thesis supervisor Lorraine York. Without her patience and guidance this project would not have been possible. -
