    Analysis Of The Global Markets For Anime By Rayna Denison

    In the chapter “The Global Markets For Anime” in Japanese Cinema: Texts and Contexts, Rayna Denison begins by talking about the history of anime. Anime began to consume popular culture in the 1960’s but it wasn’t until the 1980’s that the “second wave of anime films [...] brought a new dystopic future vision to the world.” (Denison, 308) Stemming from this “boom” the most popular and consumed anime’s all revolve around dystopian, magical and/or science fiction worlds. Denison then goes on to explain that while there are many essays about anime, these think pieces tend to “understand the globalisation of anime as its Americanisation [where Denison] intends rather to think of anime as global in the sense that John Tomlinson proposes, that globalisation in culture relates to ‘how our sense of cultural belonging – of being “at home” – may be subtly transfigured by the penetration of globalizing media into our everyday lives.”…

    Satoshi Kon’s Critique on Society’s Desire for Escapism in Paranoia Agent

    Satoshi Kon is an important figure in Japanese cinema. In many of his works, he analyzes the concept of society’s desire for escapism due to stress and anxiety which addresses the question of this essay—what is Kon’s perspective upon the nature of escapism and its impact upon society? This essay will examine a television series he directed called Paranoia Agent in order to explore Kon’s theme of escapism and its impact on society. Mainly episodes 1-5 and 9-13 will be covered in the essay. Sources ranging from interviews with Kon, reviews and news articles were researched to better understand Kon’s style of animation, thus understand Kon’s messages in Paranoia Agent. Through consulting these sources, we fully appreciate Kon’s techniques of framed narrative structuring, detailed and realistic art styles, diverse animation styles, sound effects and so forth which emphasize Kon’s critical portrayal of society’s escapism. Through examining characters and their interactions with one another, we understand the fearsome influence of escapism on society. Characters succumb to the temporary relief of escapism, represented by the character Shonen Bat. As we examine character motivations and actions, the absurdity of escapism is established. Kon depicts society as vulnerable, desperate to avoid reality, thus suffers the consequences which include lost of identity, hallucinations or even death. Through escapism, the fragility of human nature is revealed. However, through development of certain characters, society redeems itself in the show. In the end, we realize that we can relate to these characters and the desire for escapism is inevitable as Kon admits. We conclude that escapism is necessary in order to preserve our sanity in this stress-driven society; however…

    Culture and Visual Entertainment Media

    Generally speaking, visual media has shaped American culture and its values in many ways due to the fact an average American spends most of their free time watching television. In the aspect when television first came out they avoided controversial issues because it was considered taboo to speak about them. Therefore, they made shows geared towards families living the good life with a mom at home and dad at work. This era instilled values of respect and self worth with little controversy. However, as time passed technology evolved and so did visual media. Visual entertainment began to develop into more controversial issues that changed the way we viewed the world. For instance, entertainment media began to talk about racism and mistreatment towards others; this lead Americans into the civil rights movement and equal treatment for everyone regardless of their skin color. This became the foundation that allowed other shows to step outside the box and begin to broadcast more controversial issues. Shows began to reflect life as a single parent and women entering the work force; therefore changing the value of what people considered to be a normal family. In this era divorce rates went up and many women began working towards establishing careers outside the home. As years passed, so did visual media. Cable television began to dominate the airwaves and became a popular way for people to receive media entrainment. This form of entertainment had no problem broadcasting issues such as sex, drugs, violence, and politics. Cable also made it easy for viewers to watch adult content and violent films at any moment of the day; therefore changing the way we view ourselves, others, and the world around us.…

    How Does Pop Culture Change Throughout History

    The media has changed our view on many different things throughout history. The way that they report on common issues can decide how we feel about these issues. Not only can the media change your opinion on world events, but they can change your opinion on the people involved with the event. This is a huge power to have and can be abused if not used by the right people. The media not only can influence your opinion on events but also influence what you like and dislike. This is called pop culture. Pop culture are cultural trends that are spread by commercial mass media. This basically means whatever is popular at the time.

    World History

    A major change that happened during the last five years to me is the divergence of gaming, television, literature, and anime subcultures. Looking back into the history of what qualified as ‘anime’ from 2005 to 2014, the time when I have been most into the genre of television, will show that in 2005, there were a core amount of ‘must-watch’ shows such as Black Butler, Hetalia, etc. that I watched and everyone knew about, however with the rapid increase in variety of supply, it has become more common for there to be ‘who?’ comments from fellow fans when referring to ‘Prussia’, ‘Alois Trancy’ or many other characters I once considered ‘core’ to the fan base. The same applied to video games. Everyone had played Call of Duty or had a League of Legends account if they were to call themselves a ‘gamer’ when I was in middle school. Now those two fan bases are very separate from each other. Other genres, such as Real-Time Strategy and the lesser known Casual market, have created separate niches from each other, myself firmly a devotee to the Real-Time Strategy sub-genre and the 4X game genre. Media in general, thanks to the advent of mass production of cultural media with Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, etc. allows for a mass influx of all kinds of media before unknown and now allows me to share my niche enjoyments with others much easier. Now, a search of any pairing from a book, movie, or television show will yield me endless results. Media is creating…

    The Most Legitimate Forms Of Pop Culture

    The Internet has become one of the most legitimate forms of pop culture. With the Internet, people have the option to view news, music, etc. online. Nowadays most people are using the Internet as their source of news, social media, and even pay bills. In the past, pop culture was only spread through print, TV, movies, or radio. A TV show that was only shown in America, kept the culture group very small; however, a website can reach anyone with internet access. With Internet access we can have information to many parts of pop culture, including music, film, television, advertising, sports, fashion, toys, magazines, and even comic books. Pop culture has also been affected by social websites such as, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and YouTube,…

    Media Violence and Cartoons

    With the recent increase in violent crimes committed by children, adults have been looking for answers to what causes children to commit these acts. Researchers have performed formal studies, and other approaches have been taken to answer the question. Their ideas and perceptions have strayed far and wide, looking for a suitable answer; one such answer of the many they have uncovered is television, but especially television geared towards children: cartoons and animation. In recent years, animation has taken a more openly violent twist during the same time period that the unique and varied forms of Japanese animation have come to America; both have raised many parents' eyebrows as articles and media coverage portray both, but especially Japanese animation, in a harsh and unfair light, depicting all series and movies as violent and only fit for mature audiences. The adults' perception of animation varies greatly from the children's perception, as many factors, such as media depictions, personal opinions, and even the standards of cultures, come into play on the decision of what is suitable for younger viewers.…
