Mecha Animation of Today Represents War in the Future

Today, we are very much aware that animation is taking a big part in the entertainment industry especially those anime that illustrating gigantic robots or what we called as mecha animation. This anime that features mechanical robots with amazing technical capacities used for fight scenes hook the interest of the kids but as generation gone by adults and experts took interest to this type of anime as well. Example of this anime is Neon Genesis Evangelion, Code Geass and the very popular Gundam Series. Not just the fight scenes and the robots that makes it appealing to the viewers but as well as the characters or the pilots of each robots that were illustrated as kids aging from 13 to 16 years old, we can even barely call them teenagers.

My point in this article is that can this be a glimpse of what will happen in the future? It is not a secret to us that many inventors, scientist and experts in high-technology are eager to discover and even create weapons to help the government protect its country and its people from sudden attacks. Come to think of this, if ever they could really create weaponry such us those gigantic robots we saw on this anime having those monstrous capacities to abolish an entire island, having kids as a pilot for this robots is not impossible to happen as well.

I am not against mecha animation or even new developments or discoveries engaging to create new technologies to help the people for their everyday life, I am just a mere citizen sharing my thoughts of observation of what might happen if this will be the situation in the future. Life is beautiful to waste; we should not create a more cruel life to those people who are already in the war zone or to those who are already engaged in the battlefield.
