So, the culture/lifestyle portrayed in mangas/animes differ a lot from the japanese lifestyle itself?
hyde asked:
I mean .when you see it in mangas/animes it seems some kind of a realistic paradise/fantasy…….they portray japan/japanese culture in such a way where they have the good sides of both the orient(values,norms) and the west(standardization/modernization)……….but japan itself is different…..I mean a busy life 9 to 9,technofreaked,strict cultures,rigid,disciplined lifestyles(things not portrayed in mangas/animes)………….no offense intended….!!!
I don’t know much………but it took me quite a while to understand that there is a vast difference between these two,so can you guys tell me why it is??what are the similarities then ??why are things portrayed in an unrealistic manner…….??it gives people like us(non japanese,I mean)…..a biased view ,you know
because I have seen lots of question asking……”I am a great fan of animes /mangas,I have fallen in love with the jpanese lifestyle(judging fom mangas) and I want to come there ,how can I go to japan??”……but when you guys answer you discourage them saying that their view is not correct……..so what are you really trying to say??
to tell you the truth..I first got fantasized about japan not from mangas/animes but from its ‘history’ and paintings……mangas and animes came later in the list……and to be honest I also learnt a lot from mangas and animes about japan….the interest started from there but for the info I depended on something realistic like books maybe,coz just like I said there are a lot of misinterpretations…..it’s better if you don’t believe all of it…… …….the mangas and animes I mean
good idea tempslip…..
