Burning Youth

Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Mamoru Oshii, Yoshiyuki Tomino, Katsuhiro Ōtomo, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Kaiji Kawaguchi... these are destined to be the most influential and significant generation in the history of Japanese anime. Most of them spent their adolescence in the 1960s and 1970s, a period of intense left-wing social movements in postwar Japan. The Japan-US Security Treaty unleashed a wave of social movements that lasted for over a decade. This unprecedented social movement shaped an entire generation of young Japanese, many of whom devoted themselves to the Japanese anime industry, contributing to the creation of Japan's most influential cultural industry in the postwar era and forging its golden age.
This book explores the youth of the golden generation of anime from the perspective of anime people and their works, and traces the connection and connection between the left-wing social movement and the Japanese anime subculture.
