Editorial Reviews

Review

10 out of 10 "An even mightier tome than ever before, retaining its status as an absolutely required reference work on a subject too often discussed solely in guesswork and rumor."—MYM

"Invaluable to English-speaking scholars, fans and writers, serving as reliably exhaustive and often highly entertaining guides to a world that can seem as massive as it does impenetrable."—The Japan Times

"Full of interesting behind-the-scenes information on anime ranging from the famous to the forgotten; and the essays give an insightful look at anime history and culture."—Kotaku

"Your new go-to source for Anime information"—OtakuUSA

"Undeniably the definitive English language text about anime."—Crunchyroll

"The third edition of the Anime Encyclopedia is the best yet, and remains the definitive book on Japanese animation in English. Highly Recommended."—Animation For Adults

"Anyone interested in animation should have a copy of “The Anime Encyclopedia” to refer to regularly."—Indiewire

"A useful resource for parents and librarians."—Booklist

"Packed with information on every major topic and series under the sun, and filled to the brim with personality that encourages you to explore its pages and learn while you're being entertained as a result."—UK Anime Network

"Definitely something any pop culture and Japanese anime fan should have at their fingertips."—Forces of Geek
