I see that, unlike the majority, you like to reduce problems to their logical root instead of describing circumstantial superficialities (etymologies, industry trends, marketing) that have no or minimal scalability towards a transcendental goal. I like you.

Personally, I am interested in anime for its objective efficiency: plasticity of tropes/genres, visual appeal and rapid geographical expansion. I believe that if we study the informal principles that motivated its development, we can create a formal axiomatic model with which the West can create a more 'efficient' macrostyle than the Japanese.

An analogy would be to compare the invention of gunpowder (trial and error; lots of iteration) with the nuclear bomb (based on logical models; immediacy).

Regarding your observations: I think you have truth in your words, although due to our incompatible lexicon the information is distorted. For example, I personally think that the term 'symbol' is too ambiguous (umbrella term) to be used when dealing with these things. I prefer to use 'visual input' which varies between 'Graph' and 'Picture' according to the amount of entropy.
