| Description: | ENG-180-01=ASI-112-01 From Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball to Sui Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul, Japanese manga and anime have earned a reputation for being globally influential genres of literature and entertainment. Japanese manga artists often use their manga to interrogate complex themes of humanity, technology, gender, race, existential beliefs, and culture. Likewise, Japanese anime uses cinematic visual storytelling to raise questions about adolescence, identity, and personal growth. This course will delve into a variety of Japanese anime and manga genres in order to discover how these mediums function as literature. Assigned reading material includes Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon, Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball, Sui Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul, Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist, and other works. We will also engage several anime adaptations, such as Noriyuki Abe's Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files, Mitsuru Hongo's Outlaw Star, Shinichiro Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop and Daisuke Nishio's Dragon Ball Z. Major assignments will include quizzes, short literary analysis papers, an in-class oral presentation, a midterm exam, and a comprehensive final exam on the material. |
