| Synopsis: |
Anime, or Japanese animation, is a true cultural phenomenon, with a fervent and ever-increasing following in the West. Of its many varied categories and genres, none is as endlessly fascinating and controversial as its approach to sex and the erotic. It's an unpredictable and highly charged area that has never been fully explored. Until now. In this pioneering work, the authors consider all aspects of the genre, including its use of comedy and violence, the treatment of women (both as characters and viewers) and, of course, the issue of censorship. The book also includes a detailed A-Z listing of over 200 erotic anime titles. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNGER READERS. |
