I see that something recommended for the notability of academic books is that universities use them as recommended reading for courses. To that mind, I present a list of some of the university-related websites that mention the book either as recommended reading or in review/interview. I trust that this will be sufficient to alleviate any concerns. - Malkinann ( talk) 10:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke is used in multiple college and university courses for discussing anime. For example, it is one of the primary course books in MIT's course on " Japanese animation" and Central Connecticut State University's honors course on "World Culture." Princeton University's "The Supernatural in Japanese Fiction, Film and Animation" course lists it among its recommended reading for students.
Animerica, Vol 9, Issue 2 has a 2 page interview with Napier on the book, and herself in general (anime background, teaching anime, etc). Scanner should be back up soonish, so if anyone wants to get a copy to use in this article and possible one on Napier herself. As a side note, the reception section needs some tweaking to make it clear who stated what, since the author is living, at least some aspects of BLP apply. -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 21:30, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
This is a scholarly book; why are the reviews from which this section are taken nearly all non-scholarly reviews (including one from Entertainment Weekly which complains about the book being too scholarly!), especially when it has been widely praised by academic reviewers? Indeed, the one scholarly review that is quoted is actually positive, but negative-seeming phrases have been cherry-picked from it and put in this article to make it appear that it was a bad review; it wasn't.
