Animation has had a global renaissance during the 1990s, and nowhere is this more evident than in Asia. With the exception of China and Japan, most other Asian nations are relatively
new to this art form. Over the last decade, countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines and Thailand, as well as China, have acted as major offshore production plants for
North American and European studios. One of the spurs for this mushrooming of activity has been the global growth of terrestrial, cable, satellite, and video systems, all demanding
large menus of programming, including animation. A second spur has been the exceptional popularity that Japanese anime has enjoyed across Asia, Europe and the United States.
This book provides the first continent-wide analysis, delving into issues of production, distribution, exhibition, aesthetics and regulation.
