2.0 out of 5 stars Unsubstantiated.
I have only read the Neon Genesis Evangelion section (for a paper). From what I've read, it seems to me that Redmond makes provacative assertions that are annoyingly lacking in evidence. The Evangelion chapters largely consist of episode summaries, the majority of which has nothing to do with his thesis (that Evangelion is an allegory for East Asian regionalism). Redmond...

I have only read the Neon Genesis Evangelion section (for a paper). From what I've read, it seems to me that Redmond makes provacative assertions that are annoyingly lacking in evidence. The Evangelion chapters largely consist of episode summaries, the majority of which has nothing to do with his thesis (that Evangelion is an allegory for East Asian regionalism). Redmond occasionally throws in generic terms such as "Asiazilla" and "East Asian subjectivity" to maintain a link to his thesis, but his weak analysis and sparse evidence on them only confused me. A book worth a glance only for its brevity and originality, as there isn't much literature that closely examines anime in the scope of East Asian regionalism.
