Also...I think that we need to consider that Japan 1 came out in the mid 90's and our cultural view towards Asian-themes of the time was a little more centered on either big robots or Samurai/ninjas and that's it...and that's pretty much what we got and not much more.
not much has changed in 10 years
weel let's add cute witch(from sailor to sakura), sentai rangers, saints in armors, uber martial artist who make people explode(we still fight fight in nineties ninetiessss), mutant in search of vengenace, robot in searhc of vengeance, cyborg in search fo vengeance, esper and biotics fighting obscure and dark organizations(btw Splicer should be converted into a sourcebook for rifts japan, It should eb considered a semi official rule! Vivat Splicer!!) and insearch of vengeance(hmm seem like japanese got a repressed anger issues), school with amazing teachers(onizuka ruless), lot and lot of kitsunes in all sauce(FOOOOOOXX POWAAAAAHHHH), and so much crazyness that you can't go on making jokes for eons. Not forgeting shinigami(wherever they go in whatever form they appear, they cause some of the most badassery moment in anime), and some crazy anime like paranoia agent that make you kinda become..duh..paranoid, and lot fo kawai creatures that can make even a cynical bastard heartless mutter "hpmmh cute indeed", and mutant pirates, sorcerers, magic powered mecha, swordsmen,grim berserkers/dark warriors, catgirls, Half demons, absolute heartless horrorifc characters that make pinhead look like a joly entertainers, and not forget a big missing....godaamned giant monster. One of my biggest disappointment is the lack of huggge giant monster. What they are supposed to fight those giant robots, dwarfing onis?
And not forget Loving Tentacles(the entire concpet of splugorth porn is born in japan)...
Hmm uh oh sorry, I let it go too much Ain't It?
Oh well not that i've any pride or decency to start with.
