An inquiry into whether something truly exists

why japanese?

Nihongo cartoon books have the quality of being written by Japanese people from the quixotic land of Japan, an island across the water from me. This island has very unusual inhabitants as you're probably aware. Japanese are unlike any other indigenous race, and my future plan is to learn their stupid language, sometime perhaps depending on certain factors. One Piece all-time sales are below the American comics Superman, Batman, meaning cartoon books from Nippon are popular on a global scale just below America. I'd prefer to invest in the _other_ rather than the familiar.

I don't know, but I love One Piece, it's fun as fuck.

Just read the Iliad and pretend it's a shonen fighting anime.

I'm only just barely being sarcastic.

well Princess Mononoke is a great animated film (Spirited Away suffers on the last legs of its runtime)

Neon-Genesis is a meme for a reason

Most stuff is just an endless cycle of tropes though
