I get that people like robots, but if you read "Hobby Japan," a magazine that used to carrying all types of models, it's almost 100% robots now.

Japanese culture is vastly different than western culture. This is neither good nor bad, in fact one of the biggest differences is that they do not view things as good or bad to begin with.
I didn't mean it as a bad thing, in that animated content on TV is far more acceptable in Japan than it is here (in that cartoon never automatically equals, "for kids" in Japan, which is a cultural thing). I'm actually a big fan of Japanese animation. I have DVDs of several of them (not the adult ones, I do find that sorta creepy) and a small collection cells from the epic movie, "Akira"...
