[edit] Notes
This page has a long way to go. Superflat is not an easy topic, because the art has many themes, but at the same time very specific criteria. Generally these themes revolve around these topics:
Consumerism, sexuality, post-apocolyptic with an eye towards social criticism. The thing is not all of it is exactly critical, some plays around with the idea while others harshly denounce it.
Again this is still too general and much work needs to be done on this article. Murakami has a manifesto that he wrote in his hard to find original bilingual superflat book, that's a good place to start for those who are interested in researching more on this topic. Unfortinetly this source has many allusions to Animators and artists that americans may be unfamiliar with, for the Animators I'd recommend going to [http:\\www.pelleas.net anipages daily] which has a comprehensive listing of influential animators under the subsection Karisuma Animators.
I'll eventually get around to expanding this article, but its going to require a lot of time to make comprehensive.

I understand and, to some extent, share your enthusiasm for the wider implications of Murakami's ideas, but the "Superflat" entry has no real need to be comprehensive beyond the boundaries of its significance in the art world. the type of thoroughness you are looking for might be better suited to the pages of individual artists since, despite some commonalities among Murakami, Nara, Marimoto and others, each has their own peculiarities and individuated paths. Though I don't agree, many critics argue that "Superflat" is merely a Japanese localization of pop art. I think the entry for Dogme 95, another art movement with a number of artist-proponents based upon a single artist's manifesto, might serve as a model here. Bustter 18:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
The text contains a link to "cute formalism" -- a non-existent article. Removing it. Bustter 21:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
