This week we will preview the new film Mirai, just released on Blu-Ray. We will have presentations from:
  • Phii Lugo: Pokemon
  • Devin Dixon: Junji Ito
  • Mále Feliciani: In the few Anime and Manga that I have delved into I have noticed a trend that I would like to explore. That trend is the influence of European cultures such as the British and German cultures on settings, costuming, and character behavior. I would like to explore why do several Japanese anime have a love for Victorian attire and gothic architecture, and why do so many story lines reflect that of the European romantic novels. A few examples that reflect this topic would be the series:Pandora Hearts; Vampire Knight;Soul Eater;Black Butler; Ouran Host High School; and several more.
  • John Wayne Wang:

Male has offered the following link for work to read for this week:

In the first half of the 1980s I was a new vaudevillian working as a clown, juggler, magician and male stripper. From 1984 to 1989 I was a journalist working for magazines and newspapers. I began teaching in higher education in 1986 and started at the Ringling College of Art and Design in 1988. I am currently a member of the full-time faculty and Curriculum Advisor for the Literature Area of the Liberal Arts Program. My academic specialities are in the areas of comics, speculative fiction and media studies.
