Robots play a very important part in Sci-fi literature. In Pop Culture,
Japanese robot animation acquires a unique performing style.

and even have nothing to do with the actual science.
The distinct feature makes Japanese robot animation an exclusive type
completely different from those Sci-fi works in Europe and the United States.
This work is a short computer animation which has characteristics of
Japanese robot animation. In order to better understand the features of
this style,
the thesis puts emphasis on America, a country popular with Sci-fi cultural
products to make comparisons and tries to dig out the uniqueness of
Japanese robot animation by collecting related data to understand
the different perspectives on robots in Japanese and American Sci-fi works.
Then this thesis reviews on the history, changes, and evolving styles of
Japanese robot animation, to analyze the performing styles
and visual elements of Japanese robot animation,
and to extract appropriate information from the collected data
so as to transform them into concrete ideas
which can be applied into the production of this short computer animation.
