</p><p><i>Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion</i>
aims at advancing the study of anime, understood as largely TV-based
genre fiction rendered in cel, or cel-look, animation with a strong
affinity to participatory cultures and media convergence. Taking <i>Neon Genesis Evangelion</i>
(Shin Seiki Evangerion) as a case study, this volume acknowledges anime
as a media form with clearly recognizable aesthetic properties,
(sub)cultural affordances and situated discourses.</p><p>First broadcast
in Japan in 1995-96, Neon Genesis Evangelion became an epoch-making
anime, and later franchise. The initial series used already available
conventions, visual resources and narrative tropes typical of anime in
general and the <i>mecha</i> (or giant-robot) genre in particular, but
at the same time it subverted and reinterpreted them in a highly
innovative and as such standard-setting way.</p><p>Investigating anime through <i>Neon Genesis Evangelion</i>
this volume takes a broadly understood media-aesthetic and
media-cultural perspective, which pertains to medium in the narrow sense
of technology, techniques, materials, and semiotics, but also mediality
and mediations related to practices and institutions of production,
circulation, and consumption. In no way intended to be exhaustive, this
volume attests to the emergence of anime studies as a field in its own
right, including but not prioritizing expertise in film studies and
Japanese studies, and with due regard to the most widely shared critical
publications in Japanese and English language. Thus, the volume
provides an introduction to studies of anime, a field that necessarily
interrelates media-specific and transmedial aspects.</p><p>In <i>Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion</i>,
anime is addressed from a transnational and transdisciplinary stance.
The disciplinary and methodological perspectives taken by the individual
chapters range from audio-visual culture, narratology, performance and
genre theory to fandom studies and gender studies. In its first part,
the book focuses on textual analysis and media form in the narrow sense
with regard to filmic media, bank footage, voice acting and musical
score, and then it broadens the scope to consider subcultural discourse,
franchising, manga and video game adaptations, as well as critical and
affective user engagement.</p>
