My spies tell me there is a lecture being held in Trinity College on the 3rd of October by Mr. Nobuyuki Tsugata, a Japanese Animation Historian, entitled POWER OF JAPANESE ANIMATION.

It’s free but you need to register, so email Jenny O’Connor (Press Officer Japanese Embassy) at cultural@embjp.ie to do just that.

From the organisers blurb….“Japanese animation (commonly called “anime”) has become a universal language and has also been one of Japan’s most influential cultural exports since the 1980s. This lecture by Mr. Tsugata will be an excellent opportunity for people interested in Japanese culture to acquire an introductory knowledge of anime, as well as for passionate anime fans whose shelves are packed with anime DVDs to boost their enthusiasm through this overview of the historical context of “Japanimation”.”

Details:

Date: Wednesday 3rd October
Time: 18:30
Venue: Jonathon Swift Lecture Hall (ground floor of the Arts Building), Trinity College Dublin.
