Read "East Asian post-human Prometheus" by Joon Yang Kim. Discussion of anime, ani, Japanimation, etc as well as western stereotypes.
Page 175-176, Kraftwork robots based on Japanese businessmen. Suggests "western stereotypes of the Japanese hold them to be sub-human, as if they have no feeling, no emotion, no humanity".
Discusses differences between Pinocchio versus Astro Boy in becoming human. Page 178, "however, it is still difficult to transform the non-Western body into the Western one".
Page 184, Robocop vs Ghose in the Shell, American vs Japanese cyborg discussion.
