The globalization of Japanese "cool" is led by youth products: video games, manga (comic books), anime (animation), and cute characters that have fostered kid crazes from Hong Kong to Canada. Examining the crossover traffic between Japan and the United States, Millennial Monsters explores the global popularity of Japanese youth goods today while it questions the make-up of the fantasies and the capitalistic conditions of the play involved. Arguing that part of the appeal of such dream worlds is the polymorphous perversity with which they scramble identity and character, the author traces the postindustrial milieux from which such fantasies have arisen in postwar Japan and been popularly received in the United States. 410 0$aAsia--local studies/global themes ;$v13. 606 $aToys$zJapan 606 $aGames$zJapan 606 $aAnimated films$zJapan 606 $aVideo games$zJapan 606 $aConsumer goods$zJapan 606 $aToy industry$zJapan 606 $aToys$zJapan$xMarketing 606 $aPhilosophy, Japanese 607 $aJapan$xSocial life and customs 610 $aamerica. 610 $aanimation. 610 $aanime. 610 $acanada. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $acomic books. 610 $acultural goods. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aglobal consumption. 610 $aglobal culture. 610 $aglobal imagination. 610 $aglobal marketplace. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $ahong kong. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese culture. 610 $ajapanese toys. 610 $akaraoke. 610 $amade in japan. 610 $amanga. 610 $amartial arts. 610 $amedia studies. 610 $amillennials. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apopular toys. 610 $apostindustrial. 610 $apostwar japan. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asushi. 610 $atechnoware. 610 $atoy industry. 610 $aunited states. 610 $avideo games. 610 $ayouth products. 615 0$aToys 615 0$aGames 615 0$aAnimated films 615 0$aVideo games 615 0$aConsumer goods 615 0$aToy industry 615 0$aToys$xMarketing. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Japanese. 676 $a688.7/20952 686 $a02.01$2bcl 700 $aAllison$b Anne$f1950-$0627121 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783667003321 996 $aMillennial monsters$93783850 997 $aUNINA
