Anime Animus Anima
Poetry. ANIME ANIMUS ANIMA is formed from a mass of influences but most prominently from three classic Japanese anime. Parts One and Three evolved from imagery in Ghost in the Shell (1995, Production I.G.), an adaptation of the manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow, directed by Mamoru Oshii and written by Kazunori Ito, and Ghost in the Shell 2 (2004, Production I.G. and Studio Ghibli), written and directed by Mamoru Oshii. Part Two evolved from imagery in Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995, Gainax), both the television series and the movies, written and directed by Hideaki Anno. Imagery from Cowboy Bebop (1998), the Japanese animated television series directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and written by Keiko Nobumoto, appears throughout all three sections.

I love this book and wish that more people knew about it. Using anime films as a resource, Robles creates a rich and challenging collection. It's not just that the use of anime material is clever, it's that Robles knows how to open this material to consider familial relationship, cosmology, and the very nature of knowing.
