Grunt Issun Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm afraid you've learned too much about us and our plans. I'm afraid I can't let you leave this place with that information, or you could bring a total downfall to us. And now, I'm afraid, I have to kill you, goodbye *Shoots* ...Wrong idea?

Fusion X. Denver Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Japan's culture is both entrancing and off-putting at the same time. I guess its appeal to me is that it's a living paradox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Death, that's a single company in Japan, just because Nintendo is in Japan doesn't make it great, nor does Anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I didn't mean to imply that Nintendo was great for being in Japan, I just couldn't think of anything else besides them that I enjoy from Japan. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most people barely know a thing about Japan. It's far more complicated than anything the public eye could get to see. Just like how a person from whatever country would find it difficult to explain all the little nuances that actually make up their culture (not just the observable one). Hell even I'm guilty of this and I flaunt how good Hawaii is on most days. I've literally explained, or rather generalized on 3 distinct groups. And that's not even the tip of the iceberg. Japan is far more complicated lol, by A LOT. But it is by no means a paradox of any sort. (Darkplant would disagree and agree I'd think lol; since like any culture or country you can generalize).

Grunt Issun Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I really know nothing of Japan, and, like almost EVERYONE in America/England/Othercountries, I speak little to no Japanese, just like people who say they can -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDDRodrigo Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Even if you GO to Japan, you won't understand. Plus, how can anyone take accurate conclusions of a whole nation and their culture based on animes and card games? It's impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 [quote name='Miror B.' timestamp='1316736102' post='5533574'] All I know is that anime originates from japan and baka means idiot. [/quote] Anime is Cartoon (early work in the pre-disney era of influence looked very much like western animation; and can be said to continue until the Dragon Ball era). Anime as a style originated not in Japan, but with Disney's influence so more of a joint subject. It's depth is also attributed to it's word source, Cartoons as the original cartoons (including stuff like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves who's source material's are quite good if disturbing). So no, it didn't originate in Japan, all it is is a translation of "Animation" which it's modern definition means "Japanese Animation" or "Japanese Cartoons".
