Robin Williams. He Likes Anime. Surprised?
Animenewsservice quotes USA TODAY, and says that Mr.Williams is indeed an anime fan, in his own words, "I was always a hard-core Warner Bros. fan. Elmer and Daffy and (animator) Tex Avery. I collect a lot of Japanese anime. I am waiting to see "Steamboy." The Japanese are very aware that animation isn't just for kids to the point of making pornography. They make deeply dark movies, science-fiction movies.".
Well, I am surprised. Good on him though, shows us another side to him.

One thing though: Sarah Lane interviewed Williams on TheScreenSavers(G4Techtv) and he referred to Steamboy as a "Miyazaki film". I was like WTF??. I'm sure he meant Otomo...probably just got confused, he is a nutty guy so its understandable.
Oh well, at least he's a fan of anime, and plays PC games like Half-Life 2 and CS:Source.
