In recent years, the medium has increasingly turned to magic specifically as a metaphor for a wide range of cultural, philosophical and psychological concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book first examines a range of Eastern and Western approaches to magic in anime, addressing magical thinking as an overarching concept which unites numerous titles despite their generic and tonal diversity. It then explores the collusion of anime and magic with reference to specific topics. A close study of cardinal titles is complemented by allusions to ancillary productions in order to situate the medium's fascination with magic within an appropriately broad historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dani Cavallaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786447443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786447442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Dani Cavallaro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120193270015,"sku":"9780786447442","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5b7d7b5-739b-42a6-8759-f3ffde445d9c.jpg?v=1687413025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/magic-as-metaphor-in-anime-dani-cavallaro-9780786447442","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
