Oh gods, NO! An American director would inisst on marking his territory by pissing all over the story. In the process all semblance of continuity and logic would be totally lost. I like that the Japanese actually explore the implications of the magic of technology or the technology of magic. I enjoy the implicit belief in duty, honor and loyalty that has completely vanished from American society. And, frankly, I enjoy a lot of the fashion, the only Americans who have any understanding of style these days are the Steampunks.Yeah, I enjoy the silliness. I also appreciated the honest treatment of otaku in "Princess Jellyfish". I saw the really harsh criticism of the way immigrants are treated in "Blassreiter". I agree with the low opinion of NATO that is often expressed. I get that they are still pissed off about being nuked a couple of generations ago.I'm often highly amused by their portrayal of Christians, particularly Catholics and the Japanese relationship with their gods (yes, I have studied this in grad school).You can tell a lot about a culture from their fiction. What's important and what isn't. From my studies and, frankly, from watching subtitled Japanese shows I am now unable to stand American television. Not because the Japanese are good, but because the contrast has caused me to see American values much more clearly, and I can't stand the messages that form the basis for most American shows.
