The Japanese influence on Western pop culture can be felt everywhere - video and computer games, post-modern pop music trends, cuisine, clothing, fashion, and in animation and graphic novels. Japanamerica is the first book that directly addresses this experience with anime and the Japanese pop culture phenomenon. It covers everything from Hayao Miyazaki's epics, the burgeoning world of hentai (violent pornographic anime), to Puffy Amiyumi on the Cartoon Network, to the work of literary novelist Haruki Murakami, and more. As literate as it is hip, and with expert insight regarding both nations, this book highlights the shared conflicts as American and Japanese pop cultures dramatically intersect.
