Hello again!  Senna here reporting for duty!

A couple months ago, I became really into investigating the feminine, or rather erasure of femininity in cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic Anime and manga.  I wrote a research essay about it, and its up on Blogspot.  If you are interested, check it out!

“The Animated Neo Feminine”

Also, a great book to check out that informed many of my thoughts is Susan Napier’s “Anime From Akira to Howl’s Moving Castle.”  It’ll give you a cultural perspective on the social relevance of  Anime today.  Sydney and I both own it. It’s a great resource.  Enjoy!
