Didier Volckaert. Animated Life / Otaku Futurism

Didier Volckaert, aka Ikari 'Ellis' Katsumi, has compiled an impressive collection of images and authored a fascinating travelogue guiding us through the world of Otaku culture.

Animated Life / Otaku Futurism puts us at the threshold of Anime as life itself, the complex and refined form of reality lived by Otaku. Thoroughly researched, intense & far-reaching, this volume is, in the words of Ikari 'Ellis' Katsumi, an omiyage, a source of strategies, a sea of possibilities, a manifest, a gift.
