Why are most animes set in Japan, even though it has no relevance to the story line?

 It's because Anime is “Made in Japan”.

Made by Japanese Anime studios in Japan.

Voice actors are mostly Japanese and majority only speak Japanese.

Japanese of course know their native country and locations more better and familiar than locations from another countries.

There are exist some locations from another countries but anime creators mostly not so familiar with it and just limited to general knowledges about it. So improvisation and imaginations may exist to create these foreign locations.

So yeah it can't be helped, if most of anime locations set in Japan and Japanese only know their locations more better. It's also same goes with animation productions from another countries as well 😉

How do you start over in your middle age, when everything in your life has gone wrong?

 

Start and focus from “what you can you do for today” as first starter. Be active, smart, wise and have strong mentality at your first stage.

Next stage is solve the most urgent and important problems one by one and step by step.

When most of your problems solved, then learn from mistakes and have some plans for your near future.

When you successful fullfiled plans for near future then move more farther and soon.

No need too hurry and everything just following based your skills and limitations now, it's gradual process.

If you believe in God then praying. Having some friends also good either real or online friends.

Life is struggling but enjoy every precious moments in your life.

What kind of anime do you enjoy watching?

 The most certain for me is Anime with many pretty girls ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

But I less interest with overloaded fanservices, oversized “melons” and hanging story.

For genre I more preferred slice of life, harem, romance, humor and sometimes Yuri.

I don't like bloody, gore and too excessively violence on Anime. Too mainstream Anime sometimes I also don't like too. Yeah too bad I less interest with Action genre and some Isekai fantasy Anime.

This time my favorite Anime is True Tears and Suzume no Tojimari.

What are the differences between Inazuma Eleven and Captain Tsubasa?

 This solely my personal view...

Captain Tsubasa storyline and soccer theme more serious, technical and male oriented soccer teams.

Inazuma Eleven storyline and soccer theme more fantasy, childish and mixed-gender oriented soccer teams.

Why do I feel like a cartoon character?

 No, you are not.

You have freewill and future deciding by yourself.

Meanwhile cartoon character personality, face, storyline, etc are entirely created by author ideas and arrangements. Cartoon characters didn't have freewill for themselves and their ultimate destiny is dependent with author will.

You may similar a bit with cartoon character but not wholely. You is yourself 😉

Where are animes typically made and who creates them? Are they all produced in Japan?

 Anime typically made at Anime studios in Japan.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_animation_studios

Anime is made by team of animators, scriptwriters and staff related, voice actors and singers also have big contributions for make anime characters looks alive. usually you can see their names at ending credits of Anime.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Japanese_animatorshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Anime_screenwriters

Since popular definition of Anime is animations made in Japan, so yes they are mostly made in Japan. But some Anime may partly made at another countries and sometimes they also hired foreign animators from China, Korea and another countries as well.

Is Chinese a difficult language to learn by Japanese ?

 Yes, Japanese also found difficulty when learning Chinese language at very first time. But their difficulty is very different than difficulty faced by English speakers who learn Chinese at first time.

Japanese usually learn more faster about Chinese characters in Mandarin than English speaker people for example.

Mandarin pronunciation and tones is troublesome for first learners from Japan. Mandarin grammars slightly hard but some adaptation they can learn it.

There are also exist some false friend vocabularies between Chinese-Japanese languages.

So it's mixed but Japanese usually learn more faster.

Example like…

For Mandarin beginners of English speakers, they first need learning how to write correctly those Chinese characters correctly, how to memorize it and how to pronounce it.

But for Mandarin beginners of Japanese, they only just learning how to pronounce it correctly in Mandarin.

Notes: in Japanese is read as Keisatsu and in Mandarin is read as Jingcha, meaning is police.

Who is the sad and loneliest Anime character?

 I think it's Kikyo 桔梗 from Inuyasha.

Because her hatred towards Inuyasha and Kagome relationship (jealousy?) and also anti-hero in nature, she remained alone and always wandering alone for the rest entire episodes. She is actually a tragic heroine character at Inuyasha final act.

What does it feel like to be a Hikikomori?

After my mom and aunt passed away, I lived alone in my ex-aunt house and I also turn into Hikikomori as well.

I'm not fully Hikikomori because I still go outside for eating, buying necessary stuff and do small talks. But I still largely stayed in my house for a long times, introverted, prevent contact eyes with people as possible and I still can't trust anybody after so many people did wrong doings and betrayed me for their selfishness.

For very first time, i'm not feel adapting well with all problems and troubles by living alone. Thinking so many times to end my life then following my mom to heaven.

But gradually I changed my mind and now I more adapted to lived alone. I enjoyed playing games in my house, studying physics and math, do cycling, drawing Anime characters, repairing and cleaning my house by myself, watching Anime, etc.

I also enjoyed my internet life with my online friends, helping people have troubles in physics, math, Japanese and Chinese language, creating stop motion videos on YouTube, etc. So I treated internet as my second life now.

So yeah I always busy everyday in my house by just internet and house matters.

Despite nobody help me and my social skills is terribly bad, I gradually enjoyed my life as Hikikomori in positive way with all of my mights and limited skills.

I'm not choose to life as Hikikomori but situations forcing me to life like that. Life is short and precious, so I tried my best for it.

So here I am now….

Why do anime characters noses bleed when they get excited?

Some people had answered this question by blood pressure causes, when the characters feel excited the blood rushing to the brain then causing nosebleed. But in reality it's never happened.

From my opinion, nosebleed when feel excited is original Japanese invention in Anime or Manga for showing their true excited expression more clearly visible in humourous way and less vulgar.

It's so contrast in H-anime when nosebleed scenes more less seen.

Classical western cartoon also have their own way when a character feel excited, like popping eyes, whistling, jaw dropping, howling and catcalling in exaggerated way.

Shortly to say, nosebleed when feel excited in Anime or Manga is purely original Japanese invention for showing their Anime character expression more clearly visible, same goes with American cartoons in their unique way as well.

Should Anime become more family-friendly ?

Some Anime studios still producing family-friendly theme Anime like from Makoto Shinkai animations, Ghibli studio, Doraemon, Non-non Biyori, etc.

But some Anime creators want more less restrictions in creativity, more freedom of expressions and more variations in storyline especially Anime with action, yuri-yaoi, war and adult theme genre.

That's why Anime and Manga age rating is made. So be wise for what you want to watch and read now.

Why I don't enjoy playing video games anymore ?

 There are a few possibilities…..

You feel bored playing typical same games so many times.

You are not feel challenging playing the game, either too difficult or the gameplay too monotone.

You easily get motion sickness when playing games, especially like FPS type games and 3D games 😵

You feel enough with all those glitches, defects and errors on the games.

You have strong preference with retro-games or mobile games only, so you uninterested with currently video games. Or otherwise you don't like playing retro-games all the times and wanted playing new releases PS5 games.

You usually playing the games with someone accompany you but now you only just alone playing the game.

You deemed playing video games only just wasting your money, times and bad score on your exams, so you start move-on now by saving more your money and times.

The environments not supporting you playing games with ease, like too noisy, too dirty room, too hot temperature, stress, etc.

You are going mature now and deemed video games only for kids.

There are may still other possibilities exist, but that's only you know it precisely 😉

Is it safe to install games while PS4 in rest mode overnight ?

 It's safe but I don't recommend it. It may will causing overheating on your PS4 console, if you repeating that way when installing another games.

It's more better you installing the game for half to one hours, after it PAUSE it then turn off the console after it you go to sleep.

After you woke up you can turn on again your PS4 then RESUME again you had paused the installation before. Repeat all of these steps until all installation is finished.

This way is recommended if the game installation have huge memories but you need be patient.

I did it with my PS4 as well. I hope it's helpful 🙏🏻

How do I spot fake anime fans ?

 It's easy, ask them directly a quiz ! 

Like what is their Anime favorites ? characters name ? how about the storyline ? etc…etc... etc...

If they cannot answer the quiz correctly, then congratulations you just got one ! 😆

The true Anime fans definitely can answer majority of questions related with their Anime favorites with ease and even they can do more, hohoho.....

Claire Francois from Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijo

Who is the anime character who gone the fastest in an anime ?

I wondered this Anime also counted too, title is "Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

At episode one, he passed away(?) after trying to save a vending machine, then he reborn as a vending machine 😅

His real name as human never mention in Anime and only known as Hakkon (JP) or Boxxo (EN) in vending machine form. 

It's interesting Anime and very recommended to watch !

Do Chinese people watch Japanese anime and manga ?

China is not like North Korea !

Yes, many Chinese loved to watch Japanese anime and read Japanese manga with dubbed or subtitle on it, from DVD, TV or internet.

Japanese subculture like Anime and manga considered very popular in China. There numerous cosplay events held in China, Anime figure store, translated manga, Anime art book, etc.

Many Chinese Anime weebs know what is Doraemon, Kancolle, Touhou, Ranma 1/2, Cardcaptor Sakura, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Gundam, Inuyasha, etc… etc... etc…. and so on.

Even Japanese anime "Suzume no Tojimari" breaks China box office records !

Btw your Anime figures and merchandises probably also Made in China too, right ?😉

Chinese magazines about Japanese Anime.

Do you think Naruto anime & manga are still popular ?

Yes it's still popular around the world, but not like past time.

Naruto itself no longer as main focus character, it's story gradually shifting to his son, Boruto. Trends always changing.

Remember this news ? It's a legend now 😎

Why do most anime come from manga ?

Because they want to make sure their anime production able to gain revenues or profits from popularity of manga. Making an animations is not a cheap thing.

So their business mindset is if the manga very popular and selling well, so their Anime production may have same chance as well.

So not all manga have same chance to be make into their anime version. Some manga may still remained in manga version because less popularity, bad sales or other reasons.

Same goes with Anime figures and merchandises, their productions also depending with both niches popularity as well.

It's working similar like Domino effect.

Why American comics not as popular as Japanese comics or anime series ?

 American comic has their own niche and strong fanbase different with Japanese manga.

That's the reason why American comic example like Marvel and DC still exist since past time until today. Recent Marvel and DC heroes movies also helping their comic popularity and increasing their own fanatic fans as well.

But the bad thing about American comics is they more less variations genres than Japanese comics. Most of popular American comics always related with superhero theme.

About superhero theme comic, Japan also following American comic example. But American comics still hold the crown by their giant franchises and strong fanatic bases around the world.

Disney comics also very popular as well and known among their fans, example like Carl Barks Scrooge McDuck comics.

My Hero Academia

Why am I very attracted to anime girls than real ones ?

It’s because Anime girls are made pretty, perfect and ideal for everything, it’s so different with the real one. It’s something what authors, animators and producers hope from their Anime productions. 

You can't do a real interaction with Anime girls, they also can't support you and loving you as well but at least they can fulfilled your wild imaginations about ideal girls.
