In this 10-week course, students will explore nearly 100 years of anime history in Japan and discuss the many ways anime has influenced both Japanese culture as well as popular culture overseas.
Class experience
Ever wondered what led to the creation of your favorite anime series or film? Though today anime is enjoyed and watched globally, its roots find itself in Japan and a lot of its culture. In this 10-week class, students will take a close look at the history and development of anime in Japan, with particular focus on discussion of key artists/animators or studios and major anime works (both series and film) throughout history that have helped shape the identity and culture of anime. No...
By the end of class, students will: - Be able to recognize the different "periods" of anime history as well as genres of anime and have developed an understanding of the overall development of animation in Japan. - Be able to identify key figures (animators, artists, studios) as well as key anime titles and recognize their contributions and/or significance. - Developed an understanding for what role anime plays in Japan and Japanese culture. - Have practiced thinking creatively and actively discussing various topics regarding the evolution of anime, its influence on Japanese culture as well as overseas popular culture.
I am experienced in teaching film studies, especially East Asian cinema, but I have also served as a teaching assistant for my professor's course on anime while in college. In terms of anime, I have been a longtime avid fan for more than 15 years. Not only do I enjoy watching anime and reading manga (Japanese comics), I also enjoy discussing it with others who have similar interests. I organized and led a Perspectives on Anime film discussion group that met monthly for 3 years while I was homeschooled during high school. I also served as the Anime Club President while an undergraduate student at Wellesley College for 3 years.
Video clips will be shared as part of PowerPoint presentations via screen-share on Zoom and won’t require any external resource to view. For any students who might have connectivity issues related to watching videos played in Zoom, or for students who would like to view the clips beforehand, the video clips for the class will be posted in the Classroom in advance (about 5-6 days prior to each class meeting). Students may want to have a notebook and pen/pencil to take notes in class. For the first 9 weeks of class, students may take an optional online quiz to test their knowledge on what they learned after each class. These will be made available online using SurveyMonkey (link to be provided in the Classroom, no login required). For the 2 mini-assignments, students may need to do research online (searching for pictures of characters, etc.). Although external viewings of anime series or films discussed in class will not be assigned, in order to complete the final assignment, students will need to be able to watch a recent anime title (can be TV series or movie, no earlier than 2010), via video-streaming service or other means. Students are welcome to choose a title they have already watched, but are recommended to review it at least in part.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Topics regarding anime discussed in class may include gender issues, sexuality, as well as references to violence. Although video clips of anime shown in class will be limited to age-appropriate content (i.e. no nudity or graphic violence), as anime in Japan is meant for a wide range of ages, some of the titles discussed may contain more mature themes regarding violence and sexuality. Parents are advised to take this into consideration if (or when) a student expresses interest in wanting to explore more of a series discussed from class outside of class. Please also note that some of the video clips shown may contain some scenes of stylized (though not graphic) violence, and that most of the video clips shown in class will be in Japanese with English subtitles, which may be difficult for certain students.
