| manga action scene: Shangri-La Mathieu Bablet, 2021-11-23 A few hundred years in the future, humans live in a space station far from Earth governed by a cultured multinational corporation. On the surface, everyone seems to be satisfied with this perfect society and they are set on pushing their own limitations to become equal to gods. They are near to setting up a program aimed at creating life from scratch on Shangri-La, one of the most hospitable regions of Titan, where they intend to rewrite Genesis in their own way. But as tends to happen, mankind's hubris gets in the way... Spanning a period of a thousand years, this science fiction epic begins after mankind has abandoned earth to live in space stations run by corporate governments. After an introductory sequence amidst the ruins of Earth, it leaps from our desolated planet into this firmly established future, where life is good and all needs are met. But that longevity isn't enough, and science is ready to use its genetic knowledge to breed the next generation of humans for colonization. Far from being just another science fiction adventure, author Mathieu Bablet uses this scenario to observe and comment on many core qualities that mankind can't seem to outgrow: consumerism, jealousy, distrust, entitlement, ambition, curiosity, and - ultimately - violence. Through a cinematic visual style and dramatic pacing, this book proves to be much weightier and thought-provoking than even its 220-page length would suggest. |

| manga action scene: Vicious Circuits Joseph Jonghyun Jeon, 2019-03-12 In December of 1997, the International Monetary Fund announced the largest bailout package in its history, aimed at stabilizing the South Korean economy in response to a credit and currency crisis of the same year. Vicious Circuits examines what it terms Korea's IMF Cinema, the decade of cinema following that crisis, in order to think through the transformations of global political economy at the end of the American century. It argues that one of the most dominant traits of the cinema that emerged after the worst economic crisis in the history of South Korea was its preoccupation with economic phenomena. As the quintessentially corporate art form—made as much in the boardroom as in the studio—film in this context became an ideal site for thinking through the global political economy in the transitional moment of American decline and Chinese ascension. With an explicit focus of state economic policy, IMF cinema did not just depict the economy; it also was this economy's material embodiment. That is, it both represented economic developments and was itself an important sector in which the same pressures and changes affecting the economy at large were at work. Joseph Jonghyun Jeon's window on Korea provides a peripheral but crucial perspective on the operations of late US hegemony and the contradictions that ultimately corrode it. |
| manga action scene: Underground Fighting Ethan Parker, AI, 2025-03-10 Underground Fighting explores the hidden world of unsanctioned fight clubs and extreme martial arts, examining their reality against the often sensationalized depictions in manga. The book delves into the motivations and risks involved in these underground arenas, offering insights into why individuals participate in such high-stakes activities. It highlights the ethical considerations surrounding these events, especially regarding society's simultaneous condemnation and consumption of violent narratives. The book traces the historical evolution of combat sports and analyzes societal factors influencing the emergence of underground fighting, like economic disparities and the allure of unregulated competition. It argues that manga's romanticized image obscures a more complex reality, deconstructing myths through the lived experiences of fighters and organizers. The approach is balanced and analytical, using journalistic investigations, interviews, and academic studies to support its claims. Organized into three parts, the book begins by defining underground fighting and its ethical questions. Subsequent chapters explore its history, analyze the psychology of participants, and deconstruct manga portrayals. The book then synthesizes these findings, addressing the central argument about the distortion of reality and offering a more holistic understanding of this subculture. |
| manga action scene: Explosive Combat Serena Vaughn, AI, 2025-03-10 Explosive Combat explores the captivating science behind explosives, bridging the gap between their fictional portrayal in action manga and their real-world applications.

Did you know that the speed of detonation can reach several kilometers per second, or that the energy released from even a small amount of explosive material can be devastating?

The book begins by laying the groundwork with the basic science of explosives, including thermodynamics and kinetics, and then progresses to their use in controlled demolitions and military applications. The later chapters analyze the depiction of explosions in action manga, assessing their accuracy and narrative function. Through accessible explanations and real-world examples, Explosive Combat offers a unique perspective on explosives for science enthusiasts, manga aficionados, and anyone curious about this explosive subject. |
