Visual Visionaries: The Style and Artistic Influence of Manga and Anime

Rachel will explore some of the defining characteristics of the manga/anime art style, the differences between drawings for girls vs. boys series, and the personal styles of a few artists. It will also discuss the influence manga and anime have had on young artists in Japan and America, looking at doujinshi (fan-made comics) and webcomics, and ending with a drawing lesson.

6:00 - 6:45 pm
Bringing Anime to America: An Insider's Perspective
Professional anime translator David Fleming discusses the work that is involved in producing the DVDs that you see on store shelves and the dubbed shows that air on TV. It's more complicated than you might think, and not just because of the language.

7:00 - 8:30 pm
An Introduction to Anime: The History and Culture of a Transnational Medium
Have questions about anime, but were afraid to ask? This presentation by Melek Ortabasi may not answer every question, but will address some of the most frequently asked: How did anime develop, historically? Why is it such a popular and diverse medium in Japan? What makes it both culturally distinctive, yet universally popular? And finally, how do we interpret the success of anime around the globe? Using a variety of anime examples and critical sources, this talk will provide some answers.
