>> *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.
