I don't know what vision you're referring to. Who created it? The reality is that Japan was then, and is now, pretty high-tech.

- k_sze 12y agoI can't say who created it, but such vision certainly emerged (which is why I changed the wording in my original comment shortly before you replied). Giant, versatile robotic war machines that can fight on land, in the air, and in space; space colonies; space shuttle for the masses. (Gundam, Patlabor, Macross) Cyborg prosthetics; instant detoxification from alcohol. (Ghost in the Shell) None of these have been achieved. Meanwhile, we got ASIMO, which fell down a flight of stairs during demo.
- mikesickler 12y agoI hate to be the one to break it to you, but anime is not real.
- k_sze 12y agoThat's why it's called a vision. A vision is something that is not real yet, that people believe or hope will come true.
- ekianjo 12y ago> is now, pretty high-tech Oh yeah ? where are the robots then ? It's so high tech that: - they actually waited YEARS to embrace smartphones when they came out. - All electronics makers in Japan have lost to Chinese and Korean rivals - Most of the "innovations" in Japan never make it to the western market because they are so much made for Japanese only (the Galapagos problem). - In about every field of Research now the US is ahead, and by far. Being high tech is not about making dots of new stuff here and there among an ocean of non-innovation, but actually integrating what you improve into everything else. Japan has been particularly bad at that.
