Abstract

The purpose of this research was to measure the rise of the individual consciousness in Japan over time as expressed through anime, or Japanese animations. To illustrate this, I compared group dynamics and the role of the individual as expressed through two anime: Space Cruiser Yamato (Uchuu Senkan Yamato), from 1976, and Akira from 1989.
