Spirited Away, directed by the veteran anime film-maker Hayao Miyazaki, is Japan's most successful film, and one of the top-grossing 'foreign language' films ever released. Set in modern Japan, the film is a wildly imaginative fantasy, at once personal and universal. It tells the story of a listless little girl, Chihiro, who stumbles into a magical world where gods relax in a palatial bathhouse, where there are giant babies and hard-working soot sprites, and where a train runs across the sea. Andrew Osmond's insightful study describes how Miyazaki directed Spirited Away with a degree of creative control undreamt of in most popular cinema, using the film's delightful, freewheeling visual ideas to explore issues ranging from personal agency and responsibility to what Miyazaki sees as the lamentable state of modern Japan. Osmond unpacks the film's visual language, which many Western (and some Japanese) audiences find both beautiful and bewildering. He traces connections between Spirited Away and Miyazaki's prior body of work, arguing that Spirited Away uses the cartoon medium to create a compellingly immersive drawn world. This edition includes a new foreword by the author in which he considers the world of animated cinema post-Spirited Away, considering its influence on films ranging from del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth to Pixar's Inside Out.

Liebe ist ein Kampf, und Liebe kann Verwandlung bedeuten, doch diese Art von Verwandlung wie in „Valkyrie Drive Mermaid“ hat man so noch nicht gesehen. Mamori, jung und unschuldig, wird entführt und findet sich in einer Umgebung wieder, die ihr sehr merkwürdig vorkommt. Und es wird immer seltsamer: Ein Haufen sexy Mädels alleine auf einer einsamen Insel, die gegeneinander kämpfen und miteinander leben und vor allem lieben. Entfessle deine Leidenschaft und werde zur Waffe! Mireis und Mamoris aufreizende Partnerschaft wird mit jedem Drive intensiver. Auf Meifengs Anregung hin, findet auch ein Schönheitswettbewerb statt, der den Konkurrenzkampf der Mädchen untereinander natürlich nur weiter anheizt. Inmitten all dieser Aufregung treibt die Anwesenheit des Gouverneurs Mamoris Leidenschaft auf die Spitze. Und dann machen Mamori und Mirei noch eine entscheidende Entdeckung, die sie dem Geheimnis der Insel Mermaid in greifbare Nähe bringt. Der Yuri-Anime ist eine schlüpfrige Mischung aus Ecchi und Action - für Fans dieses Genre ein absolutes Muss. Produziert wurde das erotische und actionreiche Spektakel vom Studio ARMS, das bereits für den herausragenden "Elfenlied" verantwortlich war. Für "Valkyrie Drive Mermaid" konnte man den Produzenten Hiraku Kaneko gewinnen, der als Spezialist für Hentai-Animes gilt. Mamori Tokonome ist die Hauptfigur in dem Anime. Sie ist eine unschuldige und etwas naive 16-Jährige. Sie leidet an einer Krankheit, versucht diese aber zu verdrängen. Sie wird oft veräppelt, weil ihr Namen mit dem gleichen Kanji geschrieben wird wie das Wort „Jungfrau“. Als sie entführt und auf die Insel kommt, erfährt sie bald darauf, dass sie ein so genannter Extar ist, der sich in ein großes, gekrümmtes Schwert transformieren kann. Mirei Shikoshima ist ein Liberator und war ehemals eine Soldatin mit dem Codenamen C7 bei einer Militäreinheit, die für sehr spezielle Einsätze ins Leben gerufen wurde. Sie flog aus der Armee, weil sie sich weigerte zu töten, und sie bekam später eine Körpermodifikation. Sie litt außerdem unter Depressionen, doch in Mamori findet sie einen Grund, weiterzuleben. Und obwohl sie körperlich schon sehr weit entwickelt ist, ist sie tatsächlich ein Jahr junger als Mamori.

Max is a cheery xeno-archeologist from Earth, stranded and trying to find a way home. Lahra is a stern warrior of a nearly extinct race searching for her people's heir. Wheel is the couple's cybernetic pilot running from her past and toward an unknown future. On Wheel's ship, the Kettle, the trio traverses the galaxy, dodging Imperial patrols and searching ancient ruins for anything they can sell. The crew of the Kettle are deeply in debt to their home base's most powerful gangster, and she wants her money back. So when a dangerous but promising job comes their way, Max, Lahra, and Wheel have little choice but to take it. However, the crew of the Kettle gets more than they bargained for when they find themselves in possession of a powerful artifact, one that puts them in the crosshairs of the Vsenk, the galaxy's ruthless and oppressive imperial overlords. Max, Lahra, and Wheel are pulled into a web of galactic subterfuge, ancient alien weaponry, a secret resistance force, lost civilizations, and giant space turtles. The Vsenk will stop at nothing to recover the artifact and Max's brains, Lahra's muscle, and Wheel's skills may be all that stands between entire planets and annihilation. Can they evade space fascists, kick-start a rebellion, and save the galaxy all while they each try to find their own way home?

“A brilliant amalgamation of history, literature, horror, humor and humanity, unfolding with page-turning energy.” — Petalama Argus-Courier From New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore comes a hilariously deranged tale of a mad scientist, a famous painter, and an undead woman’s electrifying journey of self-discovery. Vienna, 1911. Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a woman’s nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he can’t resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. She’s alive! Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the formerly-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory. With a little help from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld. So how did she get here? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissant-eating devil dog of the North? Poor Things meets Bride of Frankenstein in Anima Rising, Christopher Moore’s most ingenious (and probably most hilarious) novel yet.

Did you miss this exciting novella by Grace Goodwin? In case you missed it in the Pets In Space anthology, it's now available directly from Grace! Rebecca Amber knows what it's like to lose all hope. That's why she volunteers to help struggling teens, always taking along her giant, two-hundred pound lap-dog named Lilah. The Bull Mastiff loves the kids almost as much as Rebecca does. When an eerie stranger shows up on the streets with a new drug called Quell, Rebecca will have none of it. Little does she know that interfering with this drug dealer means taking on alien criminals far worse than anything she's faced before-and they will not hesitate to eliminate her-and her pet. Elite Hunter Stark is on Earth to stop a vicious alien gangster from setting up shop on the unsuspecting, primitive planet. Stark has a job to do and the last thing he needs is a mysterious woman haunting his dreams. She is more dangerous to his peace of mind than the outlaws he hunts. She keeps company with a clumsy, oversized, hairy creature she claims is a beloved pet. Worse, she refuses to back down from an enemy determined to kill her. How will he defeat his enemies when he is consumed with the need protect her, touch her, and claim his MARKED MATE?

Angelico Press is pleased to publish this highly personal one-of-a-kind manuscript from the hand of a literary giant. Left unpublished at the time of the author's death more than 20 years ago, this work was known only to a few until recently. A Priest and His Dog: The Tale of Tati is a rare jewel, and a testament, not only to Fr. Malachi Martin's genius as a storyteller, but above all to his eminence as a sacerdotal servant of Christ. Not intended for readers imbued with "worldly wisdom," it calls for the openness of a child before the mysteries of God. We may take it that the author looked upon his little Cairn terrier not indeed as an "animal" in the usual sense but simply as a "creature of God." This "pet" story breaks new ground, for charming and touching as it is, its true message is spiritual, having to do with the mystery of the animal soul and the possibility of its participation in that supreme blessedness termed "life eternal." The great question is whether that summum bonum is attainable for the likes of Tati, as our hearts would wish. While not declaring himself on this issue in explicitly metaphysical or theological terms, it appears that Malachi Martin is in fact weighing in heavily on this long-disputed conundrum: on the side, that is, of his canine friend.
