  • 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.

  • Talking Like a Shōnen Hero: Masculinity in Post-Bubble Era
    Talking like a Shōnen Hero: Masculinity in Post-Bubble Era Japan through the Lens of Boku and Ore Hannah E. Dahlberg-Dodd The Ohio State University Abstract Comics (manga) and their animated counterparts (anime) are ubiquitous in Japanese popular culture, but rarely is the language used within them the subject of linguistic inquiry. This study aims to address part of this gap by analyzing nearly 40 years’ worth of shōnen anime, which is targeted predominately at adolescent boys. In the early- and mid-20th century, male protagonists saw a shift in first-person pronoun usage. Pre-war, protagonists used boku, but beginning with the post-war Economic Miracle, shōnen protagonists used ore, a change that reflected a shift in hegemonic masculinity to the salaryman model. This study illustrates that a similar change can be seen in the late-20th century. With the economic downturn, salaryman masculinity began to be questioned, though did not completely lose its hegemonic status. This is reflected in shōnen works as a reintroduction of boku as a first- person pronoun option for protagonists beginning in the late 90s. Key words sociolinguistics, media studies, masculinity, yakuwarigo October 2018 Buckeye East Asian Linguistics © The Author 31 1. Introduction Comics (manga) and their animated counterparts (anime) have had an immense impact on Japanese popular culture. As it appears on television, anime, in addition to frequently airing television shows, can also be utilized to sell anything as mundane as convenient store goods to electronics, and characters rendered in an anime-inspired style have been used to sell school uniforms (Toku 2007:19).

  • Nihilism in Japanese Anime
    Nihilism in Japanese Anime Marco Olivier Department of Journalism, Media and Philosophy, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University E-mail: [email protected] In this article I try to show that one can use a conceptual framework on different kinds of nihilism, bor- rowed from Nietzsche, to understand certain themes in Japanese animated film, known as anime. First it is shown that Nietzsche provides us with a framework (the Apollinian and the Dionysian) applicable to all cultures, and then his distinction between different types of nihilism is explained, before briefly reconstructing the (relevant) history of Japanese culture and society. Against this background attention is then given to a number of anime films with the purpose of evaluating them as far as the appearance of nihilistic motifs in their narratives is concerned. Care is taken to show that, although the origins and appearance of nihilism in Japanese culture (as detectable in anime films) are different from its appear- ance in Western cultural forms, they do share certain features. Key words: Nihilism, Nietzsche, Japanese, anime, film. In hierdie artikel probeer ek aantoon dat ‘n begripperaamwerk oor verskillende soorte nihilisme, van Nietzsche afkomstig, gebruik kan word om sekere temas in Japanese anime (geanimeerde film) te verstaan. Eerstens word daarop gewys dat Nietzsche se skema van die Apolliniese en die Dionysiese beginsels op alle kulture van toepassing is, en dan word sy onderskeid tussen verskillende tipes ni- hilisme verduidelik, voordat die (relevante) geskiedenis van Japenese kultuur en samelewing kortliks gerekonstrueer word. Teen hierdie agtergrond word dan aandag geskenk aan ‘n aantal anime films ten einde hulle te beoordeel wat nihilistiese motiewe in hul narratiewe betref.
