Japanese animation is looked upon as one of Japans key exports, at least in regards to popular western culture. “The Americanization of anime and manga is simply part of a much more expansive process of negotiation, that of the creation of a global popular culture” (Cinema Anime-Brown: Page 44). The ability to actively participate and engage with anime is a lot easier than it was some years ago, simply due to the internet and fandom in general. McDonald even goes so far as to say, “Anime is the most influential aspect of Japanese cinema (In terms of an international audience)” (Reading a Japanese Film: McDonald: Page 13). This could be due to the fact that the “Painstakingly evocative naturalistic settings with the free play of fantasy made possible with anime” (Reading a Japanese Film: McDonald: Page 179) explicitly allow them to do things that live action cinema simply does not have the capacity to.

I intend to display evidence and note key themes in which Japanese animation exemplifies, in regards to:

-Cyborgs and dehumanisation

-Technology

by looking at visual styles, narrative structure, and implied meanings, in specific relevance to Science Fiction.

Cyborgs and dehumanisation

When cyborgs are presented in anime, they are often constructed as physically perfect, albeit mentally flawed. In Ghost in the Shell (Oshii, 1995) – “Yet, Kusanagi is presented with a ‘perfect body…she tells us she feels fear, probing into her very being as an individual” (Liquid Metal- Yuen-Pages 107-108). This infers that while she may be aesthetically pleasing to look at, she has mixed feelings with her own existence, as she has doubts over if she is even real anymore, distraught over simply being a ‘Ghost’. This is paralleled in Anno’s psychological sci-fi masterpiece Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anno, 1995) in which “The characters are not containers or vessels of emotion, but apparitions of emotional complexity” (100 Anime- Brophy-Page 162).

One of the key things we can gather from this is that the mentioned anime titles depend heavily on the narrative presupposing the rapid dehumanisation of the characters. Cavallaro confirms this by saying that, concerning Ghost in the Shell: “It mediates the quintessentially unstable nature of human subjectivity” (The cinema of Mamoru Oshii-Cavallero-Page 167). This works as a parallel with many of the philosophical overtones in Ghost, as Kusanagi does not really ‘Exist’ anymore as a human, but as a Ghost; only existing as a mental, and therefore, relatively subjective notion.

Technology

As is usual with the majority of science fiction, a futuristic setting is often commonplace. Be it the re-imagining of Metropolis (Tezuka, 2001), with its take on a future where a machine will become God over the oppressed masses, and the bleak undertones of a morally corrupt hierarchy, or the ultra stylistic, dizzying futuristic dystopia of Ghost in the Shell. Despite the fact that Oshii “Looked for actual spots in Hong Kong to transform into mise-en-scene for Ghost…” (Liquid Metal-Yuen-Page 98), the majority of sci-fi anime is set in a dystopian future, where either technology has taken over, or has evolved to the point of surpassing that of human nature. It could be argued that this is Japan asserting its creative independence after the horrific bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, and this is their interpretations of what a future following this could play out like. This theme is apparent in Neon Genesis and Akira, in which the threat of apocalypse and the world after the apocalypse are depicted respectively. Napier defines it as “A world where traditional society seems increasingly absent or meaningless”. (From Akira to Howl’s moving castle-Napier-Page 255)

However, not all sci-fi anime carries this notion of a ‘Dystopia created through technology’. Napier states that “Ghost in the Shell is one of the least technophobic…it raises the possibility of technology’s possible potential” (From Akira to Howl’s moving castle-Napier-Page 105). This can be clarified as Oshii himself states, “Humans need to change along with the development of technology. However, they should not fear the change or evolution, but accept and live with it” (www.midnighteye.com :22nd Oct 09). This raises the issues of Japanese animation as an evolving medium, which is in parallel with real life society, as we both learn to adapt and embrace the technological changes that happen.

Visually aesthetic styles

As is the custom with anime, the visuals are often very striking. Whether it’s the spectacular and inspired art style in Ghost, with its “Indigo blue hue that covers both the cityscape and the flesh tones of humans and cyborgs alike indicate the decaying futuristic quality of life and morality” (http://fiaf.chadwyck.com: 23rd Oct 09) or Akiras post futuristic biker gangs with striking oranges, vibrant yellows and all in all eye catching style, anime is definitely the only current film medium that succeeds so well in portraying a future in which a haunting irony of self human deprecation looks so appealing.

Conclusion

In closing, anime seems to fill a very important role in Japanese media in relation to an international audience. The overarching themes of futurism are as true now as they were in “The 80’s, which brought a new dystopic future vision to the world” (Japanese Cinema: Texts and contexts- Philips/Stringer-Page 308). The notions of a future in which humanity has come to terms with technology and live with it are still a very fine line. “Technology portrayed as immortal, as a necessary evil” (www.generation5.org: 26th Oct 09) or the idea of “A narrative representing the break-up of the nation, thereby moving towards an idea of a “globalized system” (www.scope.nottingham.ac.uk: 24th Oct 09) are both alternate viewpoints regarding narrative form in the futuristic sci-fi anime.

While these interpretations may or not be indicative of a future to one day befall us, there is no argument that the sheer thrill of an impending dystopian future is one that fans the world over are coming to terms with as a very conceptualised, enjoyable form of entertainment.

Mainichi : Could you please conclude with a general statement about manga and anime?

Simona Stanzani : I think that manga and anime are a very important part of Japanese culture, and that, at their highest level, they have a pivotal role in modern communication art.

It is time to get rid of the ancient, outdated concept of “if you read manga you become stupid” or to consider them mere commercial entertainment; of course a big share of them is made to sell, but even the most commercial titles do have artistic and cultural value.

Japanese should be proud of anime and manga, because they are very strong and unique means of expression, and a symbol of excellence for Japanese culture in the world.

Okay then….here are the “G”s.

Gantz – Kei Kurono

Compared to the manga, that anime for Gantz sucked balls. But by itself, it was pretty good if not for the shitty gay ending that sucked and was shitty. And Kei kicked some grade A ass in both the manga and the anime. Let’s see, by the time the anime ended, Kei had pretty much taken charge on every mission, and killed all of the aliens by himself. Yup, he’s the man. (The manga is 50000000000000000000 times better though…I’m not even supposed to be talking about manga in these posts, that’s how good it is).

Ghost in the Shell – Major Mokoto Kusanagi

Oh yea, I used a topless shot of the Major to add a little promiscuity to this post.

Everyone has seen Ghost in the Shell. At least the movie (which was obviously good). Now, like Melissa Mao from FMP, she sports this gay haircut that actually is cool. It works for Melissa Mao. For the Major? Well, personally, I think her hair is too bushy, but honestly, it’s become the look she’s become famous for. Now comes to the actual substance of this character review:

The major does not actually have a body. Yup, that’s not her body. at the end of the first film, she was in a little girl’s body, which just goes to show…..uh……she……she’s cool?

Okay look, she’s sick at fighting has a great English voice actress, and she’s generally awesome. Trying to write why is as confusing to me as watching this show subbed is.

Great Teacher Onizuka – Urumi Kanzaki

WHHHAAATTTTT!? You chose her over ONIZUKA!? DAMN RIGHT I DID! Onizuka was the fucking man, but God damn it, Kanzaki was the fucking woman.

Firstly, she’s a heterochromian. If I ever meet an actual female heterochromian (who is a noticeable heterochromian, not like, one eye is brown and the other is hazel…those are like the same color in terms of eyes) who is of age, then I will date her, even if she’s fat and ugly. The relationship might only last an hour or so, but I will be dating her non the less.

Secondly, she’s a fucking genius. So smart, in fact, that the school pretty much lets her do whatever she wants. Oh, you don’t have to come to class, don’t worry about it.

Thirdly, building on the fact that she’s a genius (literally), she is also not someone you ever want to cross or fuck with, based on her cold personality. SHE’S SO FUCKING AWESOMRGONOSEFSIN!!!

Gunslinger Girl – Triela

It’s been a while since I watched any Gunslinger Girl action. The anime is good, but I still only saw the first 5 episodes of Il Teatrino (the second season). I gotta hit that other shit up you know (you won’t really get that link unless you’re Robert, or skip in to like, 5 minutes). But yea, Triela takes that cake with some ease for this one. She’s a little bit more mature than the other girls, and she’s also a little more fucking awesome than the other girls. She’s got that sarcastic awesomeness with the badassery dressery (she dresses fucking awesomely). Just look at her. She’s got the tie the vest the shoes and the rest…..even she doesn’t have a hint of a breast…………ICE. (garantee I lost almost everyone there). Triela isn’t just awesome, she’s the fuckin shitttttttt.

The first part of Dante’s masterpiece was the inspiration for this very violent animated short film that was created by artists that also worked on titles like Blood the last vampire, Ghost in the Shell and Tales of the Black Freighter.

I do not expect Dante’s Inferno to be very true to the book or with deeper meaning (as it accompanies a game), but I do expect a very violent and visually gripping tale about a guy who wants to save his wife from the claws of the underworld.

See the trailer for the awesome animated short film Tales of the Black Freighter (a story from the Watchmen comics):

Tales of the Black Freighter: watch the full short film here (the upper of the two videos on the page)

The film GHOST IN THE SHELL is mostly inspired by the film BLADE RUNNER. Up to some little details : like a bird  made out of fold paper left by a policeman in BLADE RUNNER :

The same question : what is a human being reality ? Where is the frontier between an human being and a robot ? Are the soul, the spirit, the emotion  only human ? In this video, the cyborg female looks at little children who are playing in the streets, and in her eyes, there is the sadness of the women who can’t have children. Some cyborgs maybe more human than some “human” beings who are able to sacrifice their children for their egotic neurosis.

GHOST IN SHELL 2 “Innocence” is for me the best with an incredible esthetic quality. How much JAPAN is fascinated by old chinese civilazation.

Le cyberpunk a très vite envahi l’univers des mangas, ces bandes dessinées très populaires au Japon et qui, depuis plusieurs années maintenant, déferlent sur l’Europe. L’esthétique du cyberpunk s’intègre parfaitement au format et au style graphique très particulier des mangas. On retrouve dans les mangas cyberpunk l’environnement classique qui caractérise ce sous-genre de la science-fiction : vision sombre de l’avenir, surpopulation, pollution, drogue, une société robotisée peuplée de cyborgs (mi-humain, mi-robot) et où règne une technologie de plus en plus avancée.

Le plus célèbre manga cyberpunk, adapté en film d’animation (ou anime) en 1995, s’intitule Ghost in the Shell (autrement dit le fantôme dans la machine). Ce manga futuriste, dont l’histoire se déroule dans les années 2030, met en scène une héroïne cyborg, qui traque un cybercriminel surnommé le « Marionettiste » (Puppet Master). Un des thèmes développé est la complexité des rapports entre les hommes et les machines ; mais se pose également la question existentielle de savoir ce qu’est vraiment un être humain, parfois perdu au milieu de toute cette technologie dont il ne maîtrise plus ni l’ampleur, ni les conséquences.

Les mangas sont divisés en plusieurs catégories, qui correspondent chacune à une classe d’âge bien définie. Les mangas cyberpunk ne font pas exception à la règle et s’adressent plutôt, pour leur côté souvent sombre et brutal, aux jeunes adultes. Un public d’initiés nombreux et fidèle, pour qui le manga est depuis longtemps un moyen d’expression majeur du cyberpunk, au même titre que le cinéma, mais qui a l’avantage de ne pas être, pour le moment en tout cas, aussi médiatisé et contrôlé.

Poco a poco se va moviendo la cosa.

Variety confirmó hace unos días que el estudio Dreamworks había contratado a Laeta Kalogridis para escribir la live-action de Ghost In The Shell, y que se espera rodar en 3D. Al parecer Steven Spielberg, que fue el que nició todo esto, se cae del proyecto (estaba como supervisor hasta hace relativamente poco).

La guionista de 44 años tiene en su haber trabajos como Alejandro Magno y Pathfinder, 2 proyectos que no destacaron en demasía en cartel. Actualmente, por contra, ha escrito el guión de la esperadísima Shutter Island, dirigida por Martin Scorsese. Y también colaborará junto a James Cameron en la adaptación de Battle Angel Alita.

Otras adaptaciones que se preparan basadas en mangas y/o animes de renombre son Akira por parte de DiCaprio, o Cowboy Bebop, por parte de Keanu Reeves.

Ghost in the Shell

Master: Jordi Ferré

Jugadores: Isa, Miguel, Fiber y Skaven

Horario: Sabado Noche Semanas B2

By Tatiani Siegel – Variety.com

DreamWorks has tapped scribe Laeta Kalogridis to adapt  the Japanese manga property “Ghost in the Shell.”

DreamWorks is making the futuristic police thriller as a 3D live-action film.

Avi Arad, Ari Arad and Steven Paul of Seaside Entertainment are attached to produce and originally brought the project to DreamWorks.

Created by Masamune Shirow, “Ghost in the Shell” was first published in 1989. It went on to generate two more manga editions, three anime film adaptations and an anime TV series. The second anime film, “Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence,” was released in the U.S. by DreamWorks in 2004.

Jamie Moss was the original writer hired when DreamWorks bought the property last year.

Kalogridis wrote and exec produced Martin Scorsese’s upcoming thriller “Shutter Island,” which stars Leonardo DiCaprio.

Amazon Specials!

I’m a bit late on this. It’s been up for a couple days. But here’s my second news-related video. Ponyo has become America’s 5th highest grossing anime movie in the box office. So, how does it compare to other movies?

http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/marzgurl/ane/12908-ep02

Been tooling around with the layout. I should have maybe a demo up pretty shortly. I want it to have a similar color scheme to MarzGurlProductions.com. I’m pretty fond of it, and I’ve missed talking to Basic Bee, the guy who first helped me design it.

Is anyone else out there participating in NaNoWriMo? It’d be cool to have others to chat along with or psych up with to get it done.

Stay cool, all!

Some of the strange notions that pop into my head can be disregarded as meanderings, but when I happened to mention a super-internet idea to a friend (the concept of which is really hard to explain here, but I’ll try) there were some aspects I had to concede were good. Maybe not to Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, but to me they seemed a sensible way forward once the kinks could be worked out. It is, of course, gonna play into my NaNo novel, but the idea of creating a customizable and completely interchangeable internet experience needs expounding…

How many social networking platforms are out there? Too many. In the future of my NaNo there will be an identity card style homepage for everyone, where they can use whatever they want to share with the world. Compatibility issues will be a thing of the past, and the entire internet will be one large social networking scene that has multiple sub-categories for individual likes and dislikes. Into comics? There will be a check button to join that category. Into films? Yeah, check button. Into mind-altering substances? You guessed it, another check-button…

Forums, which I kinda have an addiction to joining – and spend all night surfing for great threads to haunt – should be one area which future software can really improve on. I like a lot of forums the way they are, with maybe the exception of really slow ones like the NaNo set-up. A meta-forum, where millions of different forums (yeah, I’m not using fora here, just ’cause) will merge into a single entity would be great for hot discussions. Threads splitting and merging and splitting again as the number of commenters adding their voices increases…

A person would never have to join another forum again. Join one, and you join them all. A geek’s dream come true.

E-mail, which has been getting tweaks and nudges ever since its’ creation, would – I am certain – be replaced by an IM / SMS-type communication between individuals. When processing power has achieved the ability to create real-time VR, which is quite a few years off even yet, we will have avatars speaking for us in voice communication so real that it would appear animals could talk. This is something I really want, even though I know I’ll probably never live to see the concept realized… Damn limited human longevity we currently have to accept.

If bleeding-edge technology lives up to the promises of various experts, we will see a rise in e-commerce that will make even the largest internet companies of the modern world seem like fly-by-night operators. Hundreds of billions of transactions made every minute, with exponential growth thanks to a subservient robot workforce that can load in new software to accomplish even the most complex of tasks. This will, naturally, see the end of shopping centres as a place to buy product, but it might just reestablish the locations as a place to congregate with friends. I’ve never been one to believe that a completely digital existence will ever come to pass.

I’m still undecided on cybernetics as a point I should bring up in my novel, because the issues which arise from medical procedures to augment human bodies is one which has been covered to thoroughly – and so well – elsewhere. William Gibson is the standard SF text for that kind of thing and, along with Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, is in no need of a reheated and half-hearted answer from myself. There may be minor allusions to the procedures available, but the more I think on the things which would need to be addressed the more I worry. It’s not enough to parrot accepted ideas… My story has to go somewhere new.

The one area I will be completely avoiding, due to the terribly complex and ever-shifting debate on, is the file-sharing one. Never have so many intelligent people been involved in an argument with so many half-assed assumptions in the history of the internet. I can’t even begin to explain why some of the utterances made my music chiefs are so stupid, because every time I begin to make a balanced argument for file sharing they decide to change their objections… “We’re losing money,” (no, you really aren’t) “It’s immoral,” (and the music industry is?) “File-sharing is evil,” (and music producers are all saints?)…

Added to the confusion which exists about copyright, and you have an impossible task wrapping a fiction around the subject which is less stupid and unbelievable than the truth.

You will, of course, be able to see whether I have managed to think this concept of a super-internet through thoroughly enough when November rolls around. Ye gads, two and a bit days to go… I’m gonna have to sit down and really think about the opening scenes if I have any hope of sounding at least semi-coherent. Time has flown by so quickly that I haven’t even managed to begin working out where some of the jokes and references I want to use can be dropped in…

I may just pop over to Microsoft to talk with someone about setting the internet to rights after November… I kinda like the idea of putting Facebook out of business.
