*Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion* 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 *Neon Genesis
Evangelion* (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.

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 *mecha* (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.

Investigating anime through *Neon Genesis Evangelion* 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.

In *Anime Studies: Media-Specific Approaches to Neon Genesis Evangelion*,
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.
