Robot Carnival looks awesome. I'll have to hunt that down. I think it was War who mentioned how The Matrix took some style cues from Ghost in the Shell and if I remember correctly, I think some of the influence for Mecha Anime came from the concept of powered armor from Heinlein's Starship Troopers. It's really interesting to see in ways how Europe, The States, and Japan all seem to have a back and forth influence on each other when it comes to science fiction and fantasy in particular and cinema in general.
