> *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.
