Argh! I don't know where to post and when to post now! It's annoying with the revival of old threads.
But this still caught my attention.
My view on Japanese is a concoction of many views.
1. They are smart, Like the creation of Gemenoid-H1? now was that right? It was a prototype android, though not perfect, it looked a lot like as if it was a clone of its creator. Then there are hobbyists who create robots within their very own home.
2. Creative. Without their creativity, there won't be mangas, animes, games that we know of. Electronic gadgets that we could've never guessed of.
3. Innovative. Ever heard of Teleport city? I saw it in Nat Geo, and one American Author noted that, though science fiction brings idea that would create the next big thing, Japan has created something that even Science fiction hasn't thought of yet, and they are making it the next big thing.
4. Values their past. Although very modern in its present standards, they still value their customs, religion etc. Where they head on embracing and rushing towards the future but still holding onto its past.
5. Respectful and polite. Especially to the elderly. And with all those forms of address like onii-chan, sempai, otou-san, obaa-san etc. what is there to compare their politeness to those of other countries?
Well those are the good things. But as I said that my view is a mix, I find some negative things too.
1. Perverted? Well there are lots of people that are perverted, and have perverse thoughts, but never have I seen any country before that makes cartoons (animes) that have sex as it's theme, but still a good point among us FAKKUers, desho?
2. They can be discriminating too... very, especially the upper class. well atleast some, or when you go to the wrong place.
3. Fashionable, although not wrong, but many fashion themselves to the point that they are easily distinguishable from other cultures. Exaggerated hairstyles, wacky clothes... that is not including cosplays.
Well all countries have negative characteristics among its people, so nothing to hate about the Japanese. I respect them in all ways. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have been able to watch my favorite anime shows, played great games like Final Fantasy, felt the touch of the very first playstation :oops:
you said it all. we have the same view on japanese people. they are smart, but not perfect. And what I really like in japanese girls when they are moaning. yeahh. "there is something.. ahhh.. sensation when I'm actually hearing it.. it's so cute and sexy"
