That's kinda hypocritical to say it's bad if one culture influences another... I mean, Japanese culture has influenced Western culture quite a bit, no? Anime is very popular in the US, Europe and in many other places, and sushi is a popular food these days too. Anime itself derived from art and animation techniques that were developed in europe and the US. If the west hadn't influenced Japan in the ways it did, I would think that Japan would not be the economic world leader that it is today.
