Is it really that great to live in Japan?
I can't imagine it's so great being a slave to society and their many traditions and your parents expectations your entire life. People who deviate from the norm are untouchables.
I can't imagine never being shown love or emotions and seeing your mom being a submissive serf to your quiet father is that great. And when you busted your ass of your entire life and get that PhD all you get is an approving nod from your dad and from then on it's get back to work.
But maybe I'm wrong and it is like in my Chinese cartoons with adventures, drama, fun, friendship and romance.

I wouldn't know about the native perspective, but from what I've gathered it's not that bad.
You can be a deviant if you have deviant friends to hang around/to drink with
Growing up may look like a pain because of society but your education includes a lot more freedom and independence than education in W.Europe

Also my OP wasn't meant to be an insult. Sorry if it came that way.
I just wanted to question if the narrative portrayed in Anime is close to reality.

Well,here are a few examples to illustrate
>kids from the age of 4 or 5 are commonly seen walking alone to school accompanied by their friends
>Parents are generally very busy with their jobs, meaning children from an early age have to find their own hobbies and occupations
>Hell, a Japanese economist once told me that parents do not have children if there is no room in the local nursery
>Club activities are such a commitment, they almost look like they remplace family to an extent
Parents being more distant mean that you are more free to do what you wish

>independence
>meaning you stay away from your parents locked away in a clubroom
you fucking wish nip

Except children can chose which club to sell their freedom, that's part of independence

By enduring the unendurable and suffering what is insufferable
Good Luck !
