Yes, anime, manga and video games are defining for Japan, and modern, like it or not, that really doesn't change the point. It is also the way most people are introduced to the culture at a young age. I then provided you with other areas where their culture is different, but you chose to hang on to my first post.

It doesn't mean it's the only thing defining that culture, or the best things, or the things you like.
I still don't think that anime, manga or video games are defining. But they are modern!

What are you trying to say?


Oh! I wish I was in the land of Ramen
Otaku there are not downtrodden
Kawaii! Kawaii! Kawaii, Desu Ne!


MAXIMUM VIPER
Defender of the Scholar, Scourge of the Otaku, Savior of Japan
