1 Suan notes that this difference is not fully articulated even in media-specific works such as that of Thomas Lamarre, The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2009) or indeed of Rayna Denison, Anime: A Critical Introduction (London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2015), which include anime films. For further comparison, in Alisa Freedman and Toby Slade, eds., Introducing Japanese Popular Culture (London: Routledge, 2018), the Anime section, separated from both Television and Cinema, also mixes essays on animated film and TV anime.
