All linking is unrestricted. Feedback and information on use of AMWESS materials in research, and especially in syllabi and class source lists, is greatly appreciated. current site version: 3.5 What We Are The Online Bibliography of Anime and Manga Research/Anime and Manga Web Essay Archive (AMWESS) is the Internet's only comprehensive listing and clearinghouse of writings on anime, manga, the Japanese animation and comic-book industry and anime/manga fandom. It covers materials within three broad categories: published scholarship, fan-written non-academic works, and news media articles. The Bibliography includes abstracts of and citations to scholarly books, chapters and articles in academic journals, as well as to various other documents, such as research reports and white papers, as papers prepared for class, informal (fan-written) discussions, arguments and essays, and other materials. It is primarily a list of links to items on third-party sites, with some materials hosted directly. This site is always open to hosting writings that fit within its profile. There are no stylistic, content, or language restrictions. However, with very infrequent exceptions, reviews fall outside the scope of items considered, and all materials must be primarily in English. If you are interested in submitting an essay, paper or article, or should you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to e-mail the editor at (editor@corneredangel.com). Why We Are The overarching goal of this website is to provide access to resources that have previously not been categorized. Within this mission statement, the following broad objectives have been identified: 1. To provide access to a wide range of writing from various sources that approaches anime and manga from an academic perspective 2. To track worldwide scholarly, popular and media reception of and response to of Japanese popular culture 3. To inform academics, students, and the general public of the history of anime/manga research, current trends and theories in the field, and the future of anime/manga studies worldwide A separate objective, not related to the stated goal is to serve a fan resource that brings together all types of nonacademic fan writing on anime and manga and present an aspect of fandom expression that is very frequently ignored in favor of cosplay, fanfiction, and other more participatory modes.
