Values Dissonance and Anime
While fans both the East and West enjoy the medium, there are some things cultural or otherwise that tend to get lost by most people. Just the West has some cultural differences that more get lost in the East, the East have a lot things only those who live Japan may understand. Whether it would be the concept of Nekketsu, the Pillars of Moral character, Bushido as well as any of the humor present in shows like Bobobo that end to make perfect sense to Japanese fans but are lost to Westerners. What do you think of the difference in values? Even fansubbing can only help so much in understanding anime.
