Because they are short and scrawny and cant survive with brawn so they had to invent crazy martial arts and anime is the instructional videos for their techniques and on how to build gundams.

The Japanese are in their third decade of recession. Don't envy them too much (though the US may be headed down the same road, unfortunately).

J-Pron is weird. I've seen videos where the man pulls out his dong and the lady is starring at it with awe for a good 5 minutes before touching the damn thing.

May I ask who here is obsessed with Japan? Without a doubt there are many anime/manga fans on this site but no poster has ever given me the impression that they are obsessed with Japan.

I would hope Japan would be great at anime, considering it's their own damn medium. Sadly though, I don't think they're that great with even their own medium, not anymore anyways, considering some of the modern trends in anime.

Um.

How is it "their own medium"?

Animated shows existed long before the Japanese started animating...

I am living in japan ive been here for about 1 year and 2 months and i must say the japanese people really enjoy gaming and anime alot almost everywhere there is a arcade and honest to god they have great skills at every game i watched a little japanese school girl play a DJ hero if you will she was playing both controllers with her hands by her self and she never missed once i was like how old are you? she said im 15 i had to give her a high five. but its their culture. even though their crane games have some pretty pervy anime figurines... i won a Mikuna figure and pretty much her panties are showing i put it in my window so everyone can see it :D and pachinko is very popular aswell

They're not good at everything. For example, they suck at Imperialism.

There's nothing too extraordinary about Japan, in fact, South Korea, for a country with barely 50 million people, is also exerting a very big influence these days.

Lol, this is kind of exaggerating, isn't it. Our parents ( probably your grandparents) remember the times " Made in Japan" was something equal to " Made in China" of nowadays.
