Something Cultural

[Nuke Mayhem]

Hi, I am president of an anime club and I want to see if I can find something to show that has Japaneses culture in it, to educate as well as entertain my audience. I mean videos of stuff like a samurai Puppet show, sumo wrestling, a look on common japenese lifstyle, japan history, musicals, and stuff like that. Do you know where I can download stuff like that?

This would probably get more attention in the 'Suggestions' part of the forum. I'm new around here, so I don't know the accepted method for requesting a movement though :)

I'd recommend Ayakashi Japanese Classic Horror and Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is you're looking for something with cultural significance.

Oh! Edo Rocket probably fits a lot of those criteria, though it's primarily an eccentric comedy.

There was a similar request about 1 or 2 weeks ago. (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=1128839) There were several good suggestions there so you might want to check it out too.

Thanks for the ideas and I will check them out, but I was thinking of something more live action and real-world, like a entertaining show you would see on the discovery channel.

If you're interested in live-action shows, you might want to visit a site like d-addicts (http://www.d-addicts.com/) which specializes in subbed version of Japanese dramas ("dorama"). I don't watch these shows in general, but I have been enjoying the live-action version of Nodame Cantabile which is available here (http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/1073.html).
