    Connecting the dots between popular media and social culture.
  •  
    This is an excellent blog by an anime fan who turned his passion into a subject of academic inquiry. His aim is, as he says, to "connect the dots between popular media and social culture". Of course, animes and mangas are particularly suitable for this kind of research!

An introduction to anime music videos (AMVs) | upxy - 1 views

  •  
    This is a brief introduction to amvs, these forms of fanart based on the combination of the person's favorite animes, animes' scenes and musics. It is a perfect manifestation of the desire to appropriate bits and pieces of contents and recombine them into something new and personal.

Australian Anime, Manga & Slash Fans May Run Afoul of Law | Dru Pagliassotti - 1 views

  • However, the Australian law is very vaguely worded, and I fear it’s going to cause as much harm as it may cause good. For example, from an academic’s perspective, it’s clear that one of the problems of this legislation is that it will have a very strong chilling effect on Australian scholars interested in studying anime, manga, slash, and yaoi, or even other forms of sex/uality, because of the sheer possibility that clicking on a link, ordering a movie or manga, or even purchasing an academic book or reading a journal article on the subject might expose one to an image that could be interpreted as “child pornography” under Australian law.
  •  
    In 2010 the Australian Government proposes to go ahead with a mandatory ISP-level internet filtering scheme which, if passed into law, could have a massive impact on anime, manga and slash fans. Why manga and slash fans? Because the main target of the law is to prevent the circulation of 'child abuse sexual imagery' - BUT in Australia 'child abuse sexual imagery' covers even FICTIONAL representations and includes 'under age' characters in anime, manga and slash. If the law is passed, any fan site that contains or links to this material could be added to a government 'blacklist' and access denied in Australia.

    This is an important news for both fans and scholars of fanfictions and dojinshi.

Manga Publishers, Comics Creators React to the Apple iPad - 2 views

  • One thing the iPad does that the Kindle and other e-readers can't match (yet) is that it presents pages in color, which opens up all kinds of possibilities, especially for magazines, graphic novels and yes, manga

      Colour for manga??? Besides the first few pages of each chapter or album, they have been in black and white for the last 80 years! Actually, Kindle and other e-book readers were perfectly fit for manga!
  •  
    Several interesting issues are laid out here: that of access to more mangas, but also the issue of country-by-country copyrights, the potential censorship exerted by Apple on adult contents, the issue of format lock, etc.

    I just discovered that Asahi.com has a "Cool Japan" section, dealing with everything related to the various representations of Japanese modernity. These include both Western fantasy about present day Japan and japanese self-projection into the world.
