Book Presentation:
Embark on a voyage through a chronological history of anime that explores both the marquee cinematic touchstones and enduring series that have shaped the medium.

The Anime Archives celebrates it all, from the Studio Ghibli films that fans queued for at the cinema to the eagerly-anticipated weekly One Piece episodes, and Attack on Titan’s enormous cultural footprint, no icon will be left out.

Discover more about the creators – and creative processes – that gave life to these worlds that defined childhoods while capturing imaginations. Composed of thoughtful essays and insights into key artists, dive into the inspirations, philosophies, and techniques integral to these timeless masterpieces.

About the Author:
Lost In Cult is an independent book publisher and design studio based in the United Kingdom dedicated to celebrating video games as a culturally significant art form. Lost In Cult puts the industry’s best writers and artists in conversation with the medium’s most important works and creators to examine their rich, often-overlooked history. With a dual emphasis on long-form prose and bespoke artwork, Lost In Cult challenges curiously-minded games enthusiasts to consider the field differently, exploring themes and ideas which conceptualise both perennial classics and overlooked gems through contemporary lenses.
