Animation in Japan.

• Manga and Anime resurrect ancient mythologies and
  use them to create new myths suited to the needs
  of postmodern Japan and most of the world

  be little opportunity for individual to achieve
  heroic stature-many animated heroes are mutants
  and aliens with superpower.
• Environmental degradation.
• With the rise of Bio-engineering, cloning, and
  organ transplants many anime use robots to embody
  the techno- fear concerns of the effect of
  machine byproducts on the humanity.

  unthinkable for comics-over 400,000 copies
  each-and making him nationally famous.
• In comics, in particular, he pioneered long
  narratives of hundreds, even thousand of pages,
  bringing "cinematic" art styles and novelistic
  plots to the medium
• 1950 he had firmly established his position as
  the leading comics artist of his day when he

• 1985 Broken down film parody for American
  silent movies
• On February 10, 1989, the day after Tezuka
  passed away, Japan's Asahi Newspaper explained
  the contribution of this great artist as follows
• "Foreign visitors to Japan often find it
  difficult to understand why Japanese people like
  comics so much. For example they often reportedly
  find it odd to see grown men and women engrossed
  in weekly comic magazine on the trains during
  commute hours. One explanation for the popularity
  of comics in Japan, however, is that Japan had
  Tezuka Osamu, whereas other nations did not.
  Without Dr. Tezuka, the postwar explosion in
  comics in Japan would have been inconceivable.

Growth model
an algorythm-backed complex that builds and
generates forms via its recursive structure. By
running a genetic program, the computer creates
images of new forms that, although not real, are
abstractions of a distinctly organic nature.
The "GROTH Model" is a way to give an
unforeseen form to the progress of time. The
model is not intended to create or a faithful
representations of reality but to produce a
new bionomic pictorial space backed by an
algorithm. It is a "life form of probability."
