Default Things you can't get used to when watching anime - 10-12-2009, 01:55 PM

Animes are made in Japan.

Therefore, they contain certain aspects of Japanese culture that an average person living in the USA or Europe finds strange at first.

After watching a few animes, those things start to feel normal.

But for me, there are a few things that make me laugh or feel weird, no matter how often they happen.

One of the best examples is body height (not really a part of Japanese culture, but still).

Like in Azumanga Daioh, when one gets to know that Sakaki is over 170cm tall.
Or in the Gantz manga, where everyone admires Izumi being 187cm tall.

For some reason, it's impossible for me to imagine someone being tall, while she's only 170cm tall.

Putting genetics aside meat is very expensive there
less meat and fast food = less height and less weight

I'm bothered by the fact that they always make someone secretly listen to someone else's conversation. EVEN if it doesn't affect at all, there's always that scene on almost every fvcking anime.
i mean why the heck is that necessary anyway?
/facepalm
