Jung, who graduated from a top university in Seoul last year, now runs a website for a computer magazine. Dragonquest 7, Black Matrix Cross and Super Robot War are among his favorites. When he feels like watching some animation, one of his top choices is a series by a Japanese team called Gonzo. It was shown on television in Japan, but he watched it over the Internet in Seoul. He also liked the Gatekeepers and the Vandred series.
Japanese animation has it all, according to Jung.
The drawings are good, the production values are high, and the story lines are well structured. Jung's interest has raised his awareness of Japan. But he didn't have his rose-colored glasses on. He is well aware of Japan's brutal colonization of the Korean peninsula, and knows that Japan's conservative leaders and opinion makers are unrepentant. That colors his image of Japan the country with some darker strokes.
