    1 the Cool Japan Project and the Globalization of Anime

    THE COOL JAPAN PROJECT AND THE GLOBALIZATION OF ANIME AND MANGA IN THE UNITED STATES by Joshua Michael Draper Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Cultural, Gender, and Global Studies and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts May, 2015 Approved by: Wei Xie, Ph.D., Thesis Director Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand, Ph.D., Second Reader Jeanne Dubino, Ph.D., Department Honors Director Leslie Sargent Jones, Ph.D., Director, The Honors College 1 The Cool Japan Project and the Globalization of Anime and Manga in the United States Abstract: This research paper will primarily discuss the impact that Japanese animation and manga have had on American popular culture and the subsequent cult following they developed. It will discuss what distinguishes Japanese animation from Western animation, how Japanese animation initially gained popularity among American audiences, and how it has subsequently impacted American popular culture. This paper will also focus on the subculture of otaku, a group of people known for their devoted following to Japanese animation and comic books. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relative popularity of Japanese animation and manga amongst American audiences as an example of globalization impacting the United States from another country. Keywords: anime, manga, soft power, Cool Japan, globalization 2 Introduction During the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese animation and comic books began coming overseas to the United States, where it soon gained popularity amongst a sizeable number of young Americans. Recognizing the economic potential of Japanese popular culture, in 2002, Douglas McGray, writing for Foreign Policy, wrote an article titled “Japan’s Gross National Cool”, highlighting Japan’s potential to be a global “soft power”, or a country that promotes itself through its cultural influence rather than by economic and military force.

    Calendar of Events October 2015 NATIONAL ITALIAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH Celebrate the many achievements and successes of Italian Americans Every year the U.S. president signs an executive order designating the month of October as National Italian Ameri- can Heritage Month. Coinciding with the festivities surrounding Columbus Day, the proclamation is in recogni- tion of the many achievements, contributions and successes of Americans of Italian descent, as well as Italians in America. They have been essential to this country from its beginning, not only as explorers but also in the arts, literature, government and business. The heritage of Italians in the United States begins at the origins of the country. Important explorers came soon after Christopher Columbus under the flags of different countries. Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) sailed under the British flag and was the first to explore parts of New England. In 1497, it is thought, he was the first European since the Vikings to touch land in North America (probably Newfoundland). Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed under the French flag and explored the American coastline from North Carolina to New York in 1524. Italians settled in what became the United States and played an important role in its history. Filippo Mazzei, from Tuscany, influenced Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence and Mozart’s librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, from Venice, settled in New York and Philadelphia. Although the first Ital- ian immigration came from the North, during the late nineteenth century mass immigration of Italians to the Americas (including the United States) occurred and it came overwhelmingly from the Southern part of the peninsula.

The general consensus is that the anime was groundbreaking; it explored religious, psychological, and philosophical themes, while initially appearing to be a standard mecha show. There was some debate over the controversial ending of the television series. Death is a compilation of clips from the TV series, with some new footage added, and Rebirth comprises the first 30 minutes or so of End of Evangelion. The popularity of the show spawned numerous additional media, including video games, radio dramas, audio books, a novel, pachinko machines, and a tetralogy of films titled Rebuild of Evangelion. Neon Genesis Evangelion has become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Works within the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise typically have the same setting, characters and theme, but can vary in their portrayal of the storyline with alternate re-tellings of the original anime. Evangelion ' s fictional setting takes place after the Second Impact, a cataclysmic explosion in Antarctica in the yearwhich resulted in the deaths of billions and threw the Earth off its axis. Fifteen years after the Second Impact, a group of mysterious beings referred to as " Angels " begin appearing and pose a worldwide and existential threat to mankind.
