The Science of Anime: Mecha-Noids and AI-Super-Bots

An invaluable resource for an historical revelation of the background and comparisons of Anime (Japanese Science Fiction graphic novels and films) and our own Comics (US Superhero & Sci-Fi graphics novels and films), but revealing the depths of Japanese Sci-Fi Anime and their influence on Japanese culture with historical and fantasy references. I enjoyed reading this book, as I am very interested in Anime, and have been since I was small. Outlining AstroBoy, Gigantor, and others, this book timelines the entire robot anime genre and the books, films and tv shows that have influenced our own culture. A great find at any price.
