Welcome pam, i'm upp, which, again, should be obvious but, you know.
My mind cannot cope with series, it's just too much work to follow it every week. I prefer movies instead.
I am not a weeaboo, i do not accompany such "slow" companies as the anime fans, who insists that it is superior to western series, completely forgetting that it started out as western, or at least was heavily inspired by western arts and dramas.
I once saw a little snippet from an anime show that looked pretty cool, it was about some priest that hunted monsters, i enjoyed what little i saw, but then my hopes where shattered by the fact that it was in fact anime, and to me all anime i have seen have the same lame, childish way of depicting different characters. They all suffer from this flaw. Japanese culture in general is highly overrated. For example:
Anime, already mentioned that.
Technology, Most of it is just weird stuff like air-conditioned shoes or quirky "art" machines, very little practical aparatus has come from japan, if you compare it to, say germany.
Samurai, They were NOT as media and movies often depict them, as higly trained wariors with superior dicipline. Sure, some of them were, but not all, most of them never even faught, just like the medieval knights, they were just men of genrally higher standing than the regular plebians of the day.
The katana, not even a good sword, pretty rubish when you compare it to european swords of the same day. It is also a myth that they invented the idea of folding different steels into eachother to make a good blade, several other people, like the celts had been performing the exact same process before.
Tradition, tradition is just bad overrall, no need clinging to outdated views and concepts.
