I just have a question which kind of bugs me. While I like anime and stuff, why is that some Japanese manga creators makes cuteness about stuff, specifically the Kantai collection (schoolgirls as WW2 warships), Girls Und Panzer (school girls operating WW2 tanks), Strike Witches (teenage girls in underwear with airplane propellers over their legs) and specially, Axis Powers Hetalia.
It kinda disturbs me as these trend trivializes some issues about history, especially Axis Powers Hetalia. Can't say about the other pop-culture of Japan though like the female idol groups and the Japanese game show stuff.
New Recruit
Japanese young kids / young generation like cute things. Its' always fascinated me. When i was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s, this was not so. In Japan , there are so many eclectic tastes. My youngest brother watches hetalia, and all the animes nowadays, but at the same time he is a black belt in Karate, an expert in Kendo, and listens to heavy metal music. Very eclectic tastes we have, i guess. lol.
Well there is also these merchandize relating anime shows and characters - one such is my avatar.Honestly, I am disappointed about recent Japanese anime adaptions. Even though the animation quality has improve drastically compare to anime from the 90s, many new anime seem to have gravitated toward viewers who appreciate cuteness,fan-service scenes and it also suffer other severe problems: generic plot, pacing is off, no character development,... I'm kind of disturbed by these lacklustre anime keep coming out every season. It's seem like Japanese companies do not intend to sell these anime to broader audience but instead try to squeeze profits from a very small "otaku" population who obsessed with cute character and willing to spend ridiculous amount of money to buy it.
