We are delighted to announce that Cinema: Journal of Philosophy and the Moving Image n.16, dedicated to the theme “Anime and Philosophy,” is now online!

This special issue gathers a rich array of contributions exploring the philosophical dimensions of anime, ranging from its aesthetics and narrative structures to its metaphysical and ethical provocations. It features an Introduction by the editors (Patrícia Castello Branco, Susana Viegas, and Lucas Ferraço Nassif), as well as an interview with Thomas Lamarre, conducted during his visit to Lisbon in March 2024 as part of the FILM AND DEATH project seminar.

We warmly invite all those interested in philosophy, anime, or the intersection between the two to explore the issue.  

Our heartfelt thanks to all the authors and peer reviewers whose thoughtful work and generous collaboration made this issue possible. 

We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to life.
