Covering Japanese animation from Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy through Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name, Anime Impact organizes its subject around anime’s influence across generations rather than a simple canon of essential works.

Discussions span television series and films from the 1960s to the present, using notable titles and individual experiences to examine how anime has connected with audiences and entered wider popular culture. The emphasis on many contributors gives the book a broad fan-centered frame for considering the medium’s history, genres, and continuing presence.
