Today's animation is much more than kids' stuff. Increasingly complex subject matter has produced a corresponding increase in artistic interest, and forms once specific to certain cultures have crossed borders. Japanese animation has been particularly successful in the United States, and among the most celebrated of its artists is director Mamoru Oshii, whose films defy the premises of Western animation and comment on both individual and collective identities in the 20th and 21st centuries. – from book jacket
