They're cool, I guess. I recently read some of Takashi Murikami’s "Little Boy" and learned quite a bit about Japanese culture and how it comes to light through Japanese movies, manga, television shows, and video games. Quite a lot of information to think about.
It's almost kind of depressing, the way that they think about the human condition. Lots of death and desperation. There's a very very bleak outlook on the future, wish just a hint of optimism.
Could this become a trend in Western cultures. I don't think so. Japan and eastern culture in general is vastly different from western society. It is likely that we will evolve our cultures into two, totally separate ways.
