Criticism
editHiroki Azuma: ...Since I published Animalizing Postmodernity, many people have asked me if I support, or oppose, this paralyzing culture. It is difficult to decide. If I support it, of course, I feel we have no future. But if I oppose it, that is too simple a position: don't watch anime, don't play games. So I am writing a sequel to Animalizing Postmodernity, focusing on story writers and game creators who are struggling to make real narratives in this paralyzing reality. It is very frustrating work. Publishers and consumers deconstruct their ideas and change them into a platform—some kind of card game, or cell phone strap.
DM: Any favorites?
HA: Maijo Otaro writes very complicated novels, which we might call metafiction "detective stories," and he is enthusiastically supp orted by the Japanese younger generation. He is a genius.
