This is the book the world of anime has been waiting for. No other study in the English language has been this thorough -- and if such a book did exist, it would have been done by co-author McCarthy, who wrote an indispensable study of Hayao Miyazaki, director of Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro."<p>[This message has been edited by Agent13 (edited 02-07-2002).]
