Yeah, the problem with reading online is that it looks bad on a "works cited" page..."if some 15 year old on the internet said it, it must be true!" Right now, I'm in the position both of trying to learn more and of trying to find "real" (meaning academic) sources that say thing??s that I already pretty much know.
Anyway, I bought _Themes and Issues in Asian Cartooning_, which is a collection of essays on various topics by different people (which is good, it means it looks like I'm citing more different things if I use material from differnet chapters), and _Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke: Experiencing Comtemporary Japanese Animation_, which looks to be a book length thing by one author. I'm also hoping that some of the things they cite in these books may be findable and useable as sourcesoo. I'm supposed to have at least 15 sources by December, which is getting closer every day.
Thanks for telling me about the places to order from. I think I'll check a few other local bookstores first, since that way I wouldn't have to pay shipping, but I'll try them if that doesn't pan out. I read so fast that I tend not to be too picky about what I read, otherwise I'd run out of stuff! I tend to be a little picker with manga, since I pretty much have to buy it instead of just getting it from the library, but I still tend to stick with things once I start them.
Is that userpic from The Last Unicorn? I memorized that movie at one point...I might still be able to turn off the sound and recite all the dialog...
