About this ebook
Exploring a selection of anime adaptations of famous works of both Eastern and Western provenance, this book is concerned with appreciating their significance and appeal as independent texts. The author evaluates three aspects of anime adaptation--how anime adaptations develop their original sources in stylistic, aesthetic, and psychological terms; how specific features of the anime medium impact alchemically on the original sources to bring into being imaginative works of an autonomous nature; and which qualities render an adaptation in anime form a distinctly unique artistic creation.

Though admittedly a bit dry and academic, I found this book to be extremely informative. There are very few books that take such a particular interest in the more recent anime, far less bring them up as a topic for individual research. Cavallaro organizes his thoughts well and discusses his ideas on each of the anime in a way that make them understandable whether or not you have actual watched the anime yet. In short, this is a very good source for a research paper and will be an interesting read for those with a taste for critical analysis. It will not be nearly as palpable if you just want a light read.
