Anime Culture: Things I'd like to say about Anime!

So I have been talking about “Anime” all the time, but just in case you have been asking yourself what in heaven that is — it means Japanese animation. Some even call it “Japanimation”. I watched Anime since I was a kid in the early 1970's and it has influenced my life and artwork ever since.

But somehow there are things that are not quite obvious for the unsuspecting viewer due to cultural differences between Japan and the rest of the world. So here are the cultural matters I felt it’s worth mentioning.

Through the two links below, I will walk you through a number of Japanese cultural aspects that reflect directly over what you see all over Anime. Please take a look and have fun!
