Thread: Besides anime, what else do you love about Japan?

other than anime i love sushi with wasabi.i love it because of its tangy flavor!

I agree with you too, Chi Quansan! I too love sushi with wasabi and of course with some soya sauce and ginger too So to answer the question, besides anime I like learning about their traditional dishes, festivals, language, arts - you know their culture.

This has intrigued me for quite a long time now, but why does everyone want to go there to Japan so badly?? o.O I know it's a fascinating country (and I've been in that shiny awe before when I got there) but why?

The mindset behind Bushido and their sword style.
Their technology.
THEY HOUSE NINTENDO NEED I SAY MORE?!
Plus Japanese girls are TOTEMO KAWAIIII!!!

I love light novels. Rage Against the Moons, Reborn On The Mars. Vampire Hunter D. They all rock and I salute them.

Besides anime....
-Musical acts like Buck-Tick, Schwein, Schaft, and Soft Ballet.
-The lights, the night city... I don't know why but I love the night city lit up with neon marquees and office/apartment windows.
-The history of samurai, mainly the Sengoku period... it's in the name. I'm most fascinated with the samurai Masamune Date. The castles and all that seem really cool.
-Ninja Warrior, awesome show where competitors go through a course that tests their strength, speed, and endurance.
-Video game gods like Hideo Kojima, if I saw that man in the streets of Tokyo I would flip out scream and run towards him and ask for an autograph even though he may not speak English.

I love the food of course and i love the buliding and the culter and also,the girls they are very hot......and cool ....
