Yellow Submarine
by Jeremy Clarke.
Back on the big screen in a welcome one-day outing fifty years after its original 1968 release, The Beatles: Yellow Submarine remains one of the most remarkable animated feature films ever made. It turned the medium on its head in the English-speaking world, eschewing Disney’s dominant visual style and children’s audience for something much more experimental, aimed at older viewers.

Your Name: Another Side
By Andrew Osmond.
First, this translated spin-off book is not a sequel to Makoto Shinkai’s blockbuster Your Name. Rather it’s an “alternative” retelling of parts of the story, complementing the straight novelisation, which we’ve reviewed elsewhere. Another Side: Earthbound presumes you’ve seen the film, as it leaves out large parts of its plot. The book’s set entirely in Itomori, Mitsuha’s mountain village, and it retells select scenes and situations with different viewpoints from those onscreen. Continue Reading
Angelic Layer
By Hugh David.
In the near future, the biggest sporting phenomenon in Japan and a hit on Japanese TV is the fighting ‘electronic doll’ game Angelic Layer. The ‘Angels’ are remote-controlled android dolls, while the ‘Layer’ is the combat arena. Twelve-year-old Misaki Suzuhara moves to stay with her aunt in Tokyo, but stumbles across a match and becomes hooked by the game, especially the thought of piloting one of the ‘dolls’. Roboticist/game guide Icchan becomes her fairy godfather in making this dream come true, and we follow Misaki alongside the friends she makes as they battle their Angels through the layers of the competition in search of victory.

Books: Gaijin at Ghibli
By Motoko Tamamuro.
There are plenty of books written about Studio Ghibli, although it is difficult to tell how well they sell. Hayao Miyazaki’s collected writings seem to do well enough for Viz Media, but producer Toshio Suzuki’s memoirs only limped out from a small, expensive academic press. Perhaps these diminishing returns explain why Stephen Alpert’s exciting, dishy insider account, I am a Gaijin: The Man Who Sold Ghibli to the World has only been published in Japanese, despite being originally written in English.
