I sort of thought that anime and manga are the main tools for the creator to express themselves in a society that's taught to have a reserved nature and composure. I love it. If anime and manga didn't exist, I'd just die of boredom. LITERALLY.

Silence? I never found it to be very silent in Japan. You have constant noise from traffic, people on the street, neighbors making noise and talking loudly, guys on motorcycles revving their engines all night long, etc.. As far as Japanese people talking, it seems like they do more talking then Westerners do because they never get straight to the point. ( Although my wife's friends pointed out that because I speak very quietly I remind them of a Japanese man. I guess they think most Americans speak very loudly) That is just my opinion.
