Now today I draw your attention to the Japanese industry of entertainment and how wonderful it is haha =)
Anime in Japan rules the world, like seriously its massive, and even the manga to add to that. Cartoons...well lets say they only gain the focus of children in the US and other western countries. The best anime is English subbed and Japanese dubbed, plain and simple. This is due to the fact Japanese voice actors are a lot more better than the English voice actors, they put more emotion into their lines, and also don't make a teenager sound like a little girl (Naruto Shippuuden for example), and to add the censoring of the anime when it is localised to US is garbage, seriously hate how you get the word basterd for example as being a bad word =P...
Now lets move to the reading material, Manga and Comics. Comics I have no problem with them, their good, especially DeadPool haha =) but I have to say that Japanese comics have more of a lengthy story, and most of them are issues of over 180+ chapters, plus there's the variety of stories and plots so thats good =) and how you have the ability to read over 5 awesome series at once, like now I'm reading Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto, To-Love-Ru(It Finished T_T), Rosario+Vampire(Finished to T_T), and one more I'm not meant to mention =P
With that there's one more thing with the entertainment I prefer to US...Games.
The games from Japan always have the best eye candy in the world, specially the Final Fantasy Series, they always have the most stunning visuals to make you drool over, and that is a plus always.
Their RPG's have deep stories and the games visuals again make it a reason to keep playing. US...ummm maybe Fable counts since that's the only RPG that wasn't Japanese I played till the end.
To sum it up Japanese entertainment just rules and always gives you something to enjoy =)
