What are some of the practices of gun control vs. Actual gun violence vs. depictions of gun violence or otherwise graphic violence in Japanese Anime/Manga, TV, Movies and Video Games? In America when some violent act occurs somebody always blames it on violence in TV, Movies and Video games and I want to know what it's like in Japan, because there's a lot of violence in Anime/Manga, TV, Movies and Video Games. I mainly ask this in defense of such art forms, all of the above because as a professional artist I have even less tolerance for censorship in the media than I do for the conservative bias which is none.

Because they are anime characters, they just went to our world somehow but failed to adapt.

I'm not Japanese but I know since they were invaded by America in WWII they have had a small stripped down military called the JSDF (I think). They use American weapons and equipment, so answer your question, the M4 or M16 I would imagine. As for their policing, I have no idea.
Also, Yaguchi, how long did it take you to get to your level of skill in the English language? I'm thinking about studying Japanese.
my opinion = fact

Do japanese hold any grudges with nations from past wars? Like the british and french/german hating each other. I know there was some japo-russian wars so do the simple minded japos hate them a little? China doesnt really count because there are still ongoing problems in china to this day which other nations do not like.
What dies the average japanese child do? For british and americans your guarrenteed they play us/uk football or play on a games console preffebley on a call of duty game. Like what is popular amongst them.
If a man dressed as nuclear bomb in hiroshima/nagasaki and just shouted KABOOM in the street, how would they take it? most germans dislike discussing the holocaust but does japan feel ssimilar towards the nuclear attacks on the towns? or would they say lolz u crazy fool.
Also do japos dont care as much if they insulted a black person? In america and most other places, offending blacks because you dislike them for being black or stereotype them it can get very serious while I hear japan doesnt really do much about it or have I been looking at the wrong shit again

Did the japanese, many years ago believe the sun rose out of the water? hence the phrase "the rising sun"? because the pacific covered so much water between japan and the US so there was no chance of getting there with basic boats.
What is japanese gamers views on korean pro gamers who play for money? such as starcraft
If communist and goumindang armies failed to stop the advance of japanese soldiers during ww2/chinese civil war, and the people, resources and equipment was then under japans control, do you think they would have taken power over all asia?

Tip - don't bother using romaji at all - it doesn't look all that good. These boards do not allow foreign characters, alas, justifiable as it however is.

What do you think of the Ainu?
I think the Japanese should have stayed the hell out of Hokkaido because they didn't belong there.

I don't think much of the Utari at all.
In fact, if you're going to call the Japs imperialists, yell at the Russians too. They have a bunch of Ainu islands under their control.

Oh, you mean the Kuril islands that the Japanese had taken from the Ainu and destroyed them culturally and replaced with Japanese settlers long before the Russians came at the End of WW2.
Yeah, im fully aware.

Man, all the Utari do is kill bears, keep their hair long, and sing with their throats.
It's not like other cultures haven't killed their natives too.
Also, I might be Utari by blood considering my grandfather is from Hokkaido and we don't know much about his parents. He's dead now, so I will never know for sure.

How very bigoted.
Dont forget the instruments that go boing! boing1

Its a horrible truth.
Anyways, a question for Yaguchi.
What are the stereotypes of Americans that some Japanese people may have?
Like all Americans having firearms or something.
Also...
I would love to go to Japan one day, what part of the year is it best to travel in Japan?

What would you call a person who is too uptight and seeks joy in other peoples misery in Japanese? Not that you would or I would it's something that I'm sure most people of the world have a word for it. The French say "Bourgeois" The Germans say "Schadenfreut" we say "Republican" what would the Japanese say?

I'm also impressed at your english skills. Do you find it easier to write english or speak english because the Japanese people I meet over the internet are much better at english than the people I talk to in real life. I can't understand their accents somtimes.I am very sorry if you do not understand my answers. I try my best to make them understandable while maintaining a high degree of educated English. I am trying to improve my English so imperfections are not uncommon. If you want to give me advice please do so. Again I am sorry if there was something you failed to understand.
You've just done what I've just told you you're doing. I said You're not understanding what we say and you've read that as we are not understanding what you've said.
For example:
someone asked : what is your favorite video game
you answered : your favorite video game consoles
A video game is not a video game console. a video game console is what you play video games on. a wii is a video game console. Call of duty: Black Ops is a video game. Your english writing (typing I guess it would be) is almost perfect, It's just your understanding.
Anyway more questions.
Those school uniforms you usually see in anime. Do they really exist as school uniforms?
How much does an average trip to a sushi restraunt cost? I'm not fat so I guess I'd just eat a little more than average over there.
How much japanese would I need to know to get by 2 weeks (on holiday) in japan?
Do english speaking people ever misunderstand you?
Is speaking or understanding english harder?
???-2004?=dark ages, 2005?=atomic betty era, 2006=red dwarf era, 2007-2009=newgrounds era, 2009-on= anime era.
