Japanese animation or anime (pronounced "annie-may") is the most talked about pop culture trend to hit American shores since The Beatles. Recently featured articles in Newsweek, USA Today, & the New York Times have highlighted the booming popularity of this imported "adult" animation. As more Japanese cartoon series pop-up on television, & dozens of new home video releases are snatched up by fans each month, the one thing that's been missing is a good road map. Thanks to the efforts of Trish LeDoux & Doug Ranney, we now finally have one in THE COMPLETE ANIME GUIDE. This exhaustive, lavishly illustrated 224 page reference work features complete synopses & credits for nearly 900 anime home video titles currently in release; discussion of 25 major television series aired in America; in-depth background on Japanese cartoons past & present; & a complete reference to fan clubs & conventions, Internet resources, fan magazines, retail sources, & much more. Indexed, exhaustive, heavily illustrated...this is the definitive reference work on Japanese animation in America. SCB Distributors, 15608 S. New Century Drive, Gardena, CA 90248-2129.
