Product Description:
The book Warriors of Legend is one of the first of its kind, using a specific Japanese anime/manga series- the megahit Sailor Moon- to teach about Japan. Neophytes to Japan studies will find Warriors of Legend an accessible way to learn about this fascinating country. Those who know quite a lot about Japan already will find their understanding enhanced by the way the book analyzes the nuances of Tokyo's history and Japanese society. The book also argues that Sailor Moon is a unique series in that it was both internationally popular and strongly structured by the culture of the city of Tokyo and post-Economic Bubble Japan.

Warriors of Legend is a great book for Sailor Moon fans, and even for people who are curious about the series but never really wanted to get too deep in the manga or the anime. I never knew the scenes were based in real life Japan like Crown arcade and it even explains stuff like why Tuxedo mask drives an expensive sports car. If you read all the manga, anime and visited a bunch of websites to satisfy your knowledge of Sailor Moon but need more. This book will fill that void *LOL*

"Warriors of Legend" is an unbalanced, incoherent attempt to describe how Sailor Moon comments on Japanese society. Space is wasted, there is little organization, and the conclusion does not naturally follow from the information presented. Though it is a valiant analytical attempt (from what I understand, the first of its kind regarding this particular series), it falls short in many places. One hopes that future analysis will use a more balanced, organized, intellectual approach.

This book is an interesting read... it show the emotion and pain into working on sailor moon. If Sailor Moon is your favorite anime like me and if you enjoy to learn about more, new, and crazy stuff about sailor moon then here you go a perfect example of pure sailor moon. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL SAILOR MOON FANS, ITS KINDA LIKE A BIBLE FOR SAILOR MOON FANS EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO BIBLE FOR SAILOR MOON FANS. So ya this is a very good book it goes through the places and themes of sailor moon and like I ... Read More
