''Anima: Age of the Robots'' is a comic series produced by Singapore writer and artist Johnny Tay. His decision to self-publish after local publishers rejected his work garnered local significance in Singapore. He received front page coverage in local newspapers and started a trend of self-publishing among disgruntled Singapore writers. 〔"SMU Student Starts Comic", Teach!/Learn!

Its first two chapters were published as black-and-white comic books in 2003 and 2004. Anema then converted into a full-colour webcomic under the title ''Anema Online''. Production continued till 2006 and concluded in 18 full-colour chapters. In early 2011 the webcomic was moved to a new site and renamed to Anima. ==Synopsis== Anima revolves around a global conflict on an imaginary planet called Anima. The natural inhabitants, the Animals (a word play on Earth's own fauna) are locked in a war of survival with the intelligent robots they created, which have turned evil. Anima deviates from standard sci-fi plots of robots-gone-bad and instead centres its story on the Animals, and how they relate to this brave new world. The style of Anima is a mish-mash of different comic genres. Its main art style harkens more to European comics, its story pacing is American, and its action sequences resemble Dragon Ball and other Japanese manga. The story unfolds in 18 chapters, each consisting of 25-30 full-colour pages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anima: Age of the Robots」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
