Anime in the UK: the History, Cultural Context, and Evolution of UK Anime Fandom by Leah Holmes is the culmination of over a decade’s work, an M.Phil thesis that covers 30+ years, most crucially of the 1990s, before the internet singularity so vastly increased the amount of data (and noise) available. A super-fun read for anyone who was there, and something of an eye-opener, I expect, for anyone who wasn’t.
