still a lot of "funny looking robots and godzila-like monsters". One
thing that has to be understood is that anime (Japanese animation -
and one could also include Korean animation...) is a vastly diverse
field of art. You can find ANYTHING in terms of either technical
quality or theme or script quality. There are crappy-looking
mass-produced mindless stuff (DragonBall Z and Pokmon comes to mind,
sorry if there are fans here :), there is artful, extremely elaborated
top-of-the-notch animation (the Ghost in the Shell animes come to
mind), and there are exquisitely bizarre, cerebral and elaborated
plots (like those of Gantz and Serial Experiments Lain).
Unfortunately, TVs in Western and Latino worlds will expose most
people just to the crappy-looking mindless stuff, and that generates
this generalized misconception that animes are all about "funny
looking robots and godzila-like monsters".
