Does watching anime want to make you learn more about Japanese culture?
Since there are alot of dust and cobwebs on the discussion board, I wanted to ask if watching anime gets you interested in learning everything about Japan beyond watching the anime like the culture and language?

Anime is art, but I find that anime would be a good way for people to get interest in the country, based of the unique art style of it, the genres offered with it, and the emotions in animation…See More

"I heard him on Hannidy. Seems like a fun-loving, easy-going guy. I liked him from those 2 minutes on the radio. Hey, Steph, aren't you a liberal? Are you lost?"

"I'm quite a fan of the "Bullshit!" show. YouTube has many episodes online, I think it's a clever and insightful show. Even with the shock value, they still make sensible points. "

"I love Penn! I've been listening to him a lot lately. Although his Penn Point videos are kind of annoying with all of the ads and constant camera switching. Penn is a very gracious and thoughtful guy."

Louis CK has lots of fun anti-religious stuff, check him out on Youtube. His golden shit skit draws tears of laughter from my yes. The "Father" role is priceless.

Debra Stevenson commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Yes, not everyone thanks a deity for their survival and nobody should thank their god for a vicious tornado that wiped out so much of what people owned and even took lives, especially the lives of innocent children.

Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
