Mechademia
Mechademia is devoted to creative and critical work on anime, manga, and the fan arts. Manga, anime, and related fan arts are linked through their specific but complex aesthetic, and they have influenced a wide array of contemporary and historical culture through design, art, film, and gaming. This series seeks to examine, discuss, theorize, and reveal this unique style from its historic Japanese origins to its ubiquitous global presence and manifestation in popular and gallery culture.
