Other qualities of Japanese animation is the use of a fast moving background next to a character (or characters or ships or as a stand alone scene) giving a sense of speed and intensity. You can see this in the following videos:
Voltron opener (especially at time 1.29): Voltron Opener - YouTube
Robotech closer (especially early parts): Robotech-ending - YouTube
Thundercats opening (especially at time 0.33): Thundercats opening [HD] - YouTube
Silverhawks opening (especially at time 0:05 and 0.17): SilverHawks | Theme Song Opening | Warner Bros. Entertainment - YouTube
Mighty Orbots opening (especially at time 0:45 and 1.17): Mighty Orbots - Extended Intro (High Quality) - YouTube
Transformers opening (especially at time 0.22): Transformers G1 season 2 Intro and Outro (1985—1986) [HQ] - YouTube
Although I posted openers and closers, this technique was also utilized in the show.
Japanese animation was visually appealing. Every aspect of it appealed greatly to the visual senses. Lasers and explosions were (in my opinion) more visually appealing and dramatic than other animation traditions. They are borderline unrealistic (and are in fact unrealistic), but that's what anime does, it pushes the envelope of what can be accepted as realistic. In this respect, it shares a similar quality with Chinese wuxia. In Chinese wuxia many of the martial art moves and choreography are unrealistic or even unnecessary, but the point is you somehow just accept it because it's cool.
Japanese animation also advanced "camera angle shots" or simply angle shots in animation. You can see a lot of it in G-Force's (aka Battle of the Planets or Gatchaman) opener and closers (especially at times 1:05, 1:20, 1:37 - 1:52 in the following video):

Posted by: @prau123@rr , We should appreciate the arts of our neighbors. There is some cross-over. For example, Mothra's origin likely originates somewhere in the South Pacific. The twin miniature fairy ladies that accompany Mothra sing in Malay. Godzilla and Monster Island (where many other large monsters live) are in some tropical island most likely in the Pacific.
Also, there is a type of Muay Thai and Silat wuxia with Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais respectively.
Some of the animation studios are in the Philippines.
What does Godzilla have to do with mainstream culture of a certain people?
Austronesians have our culture copied by other groups but dues are never given to us because we don't make a fuss about it.

True, and partly because many Austronesians are unaware of their culture. One example of this would probably be the food item sago pearls. Sago pearls were the original tapioca pearls, but tapioca pearls became more popular. But without sago and the process of making it into sago pearls, there probably would not have been tapioca pearls. I think in the long run the credits due will be given.
