Still doing research, i recently found out that the population crisis
(there is a bit of a population crisis in Japan at the moment by the
way) is starting to be covered or at least the deeper meaning of it is
leaking into the ideas and themes of anime’s and manga that are
currently being made. I don’t know of the validity of that claim, it was
made by a friend not from any super reputable source but they seem
reliable and what i have read so far would lend that to be a distinct
possibility with Japan injecting their cultural messages heavily into
anime (also no matter what person is making a story, while obviously the
individual brings there own personal prejudices and ideals into that
world the prejudices and ideals ingrained into them by growing up in a
certain culture will always shape their inner psyche and hence their
stories) so that would make a lot of sense, need to look into it
further.
I am currently reading an essay supposedly to do with Japan getting
western culture imposed onto it then taking it and making it into
something there very own, though so far all they have talked about is
the definition of the word cute, also the old definition of the word
cute which is sharp as in smart and other things along that vein which i
found very interesting but which i have yet to see how it is relevant
to be honest.
