Project Title

Description
The purpose of this research was to identify to what extent tsunamis and earthquakes portrayed in Japanese 20 animated films and 1V shows are an example of a realistic representation of natural catastrophes, by analyzing existing literature and examining selective films and a 1V show. The analysis was mainly conducted from the lens of the Tohoku Triple Disaster of 2011 and the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The results showed that due to the prevalence of the occurrence of natural disasters in Japan, there are a number of films and 1V shows which are focused on the theme of natural disaster and the characters' responses to such events, the representations of which are realistic in some works while unrealistic in other Japanese animated works.
