You mean that anime actually portraits realistic human emotions unlike the sociopathic struggle for power of the Western media?

japan´s media is rife with 'talent vs training' stories, while being collectivist. anime, movies, games, you name it. shikataganai comes to mind.

also they love bittersweet stories, and wanko's route is one of them.
