Caught in the crossfire is a young teen named Amuro Ray. Not willing to see innocent people die like this, Amuro crawls into the cockpit of the closest machine around him.

Download or read book Mechademia 6 written by Frenchy Lunning and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manga and anime inspire a wide range of creative activities for fans: blogging and contributing to databases, making elaborate cosplay costumes, producing dôjinshi (amateur) manga and scanlations, and engaging in fansubbing and DIY animation. Indeed, fans can no longer be considered passive consumers of popular culture easily duped by corporations and their industrial-capitalist ideologies. They are now more accurately described as users, in whose hands cultural commodities can provide instant gratification but also need to be understood as creative spaces that can be inhabited, modified, and enhanced. User Enhanced, the sixth volume of the Mechademia series, examines the implications of this transformation from consumer to creator. Why do manga characters lend themselves so readily to user enhancement? What are the limitations on fan creativity? Are fans simply adding value to corporate properties with their enhancements? And can the productivity and creativity of user activities be transformed into genuine cultural enrichment and social engagement? Through explorations of the vitality of manga characters, the formal and structural open-endedness of manga, the role of sexuality and desire in manga and anime fandom, the evolution of the Lolita fashion subculture, the contemporary social critique embodied in manga like Helpman! and Ikigami, and gamer behavior within computer games, User Enhanced suggests that commodity enhancement may lead as easily to disengagement and isolation as to interaction, connection, and empowerment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is true-there really is a Santa Claus. Every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, Santa travels from the North Pole to share his joy for the gift of giving with children. In The Clause Chronicles, Karl Krueger-with a little help from Kris Kringle-offers practical advice for families who want to make the yearly trek to see Santa a joyful one for their little ones. Karl has gained a unique perspective not only from being father to two, but also from years of perching on the red velvet throne as a photo Santa. With the hope of helping parents prevent seasonal meltdowns in their children, Kris and Karl partner together to share colorful artwork, real-life stories, and reassuring advice that teach others how to compile a good list for Santa, what to tell children about him, and how to ensure a peaceful, fearless trip to see the jolly old elf. The Clause Chronicles takes us back to a time when we believed in the magic of Santa's hearty laugh, his twinkling eyes, and the promise that he would make all our wishes come true.
