When "Princess Mononoke" came out, it was not a hit. To make it more historically realistic, they tried to make the language older than 100 years and soon realized that no one except a few scholars could understand what was being said. So they modernized it a lot, but the terminology of it still remains from the past 50 years. But when the movie came out, many Japanese had to read the English subtitles to understand it, including a friend of mine. There are far more types of animation in Japan than in the United States.

The animated version of "The Tale of Genji" is a very accurate retelling of Japan's oldest novel. Although it is fictionalized by the original author, it mainly tells the real court events and scandals in Kyoto. Japan has animation for all ages! There are animations for girls, and there are independent animations for boys, which are two different types of animation based on age.

One Japanese animation that is as historically accurate as an American documentary, Grave Yard of the Fireflies is a brutally graphic account of how two ordinary Japanese orphans died of war. "In This Corner of the World" tells the story of a real man's life against the backdrop of bombing, suspicion and death during World War II.

Japan’s longest-running television animated series, which has never been shown in the United States, tells the story of a fictional Japanese family as they navigate their daily lives while exploring the world. Each episode contains Scientific and natural information.

In general, I completely believe in Japanese animation, from the cutest nonsense, to the most accurate depiction of the truth, to the most brutal savagery and horror, to the most mature military, for ordinary Japanese citizens A bigger part of life than cartoons in America.

I watched a short film, which is the Japanese version of Heidi. In the clip, Heidi is seen riding in a carriage as a gust of wind blows some cherry blossoms down. Heidi stood up and started to turn around. The carriage, horse and driver disappeared, leaving only Heidi flying in the air, spinning among the falling cherry blossoms. Of course it's an old animation, but it's also very cute. I could fully see the fall foliage long before I saw this little sight. But today, every time I drive through fallen leaves, I actually feel like I'm touching them rather than just looking at them. My view of beauty and reality was expanded and forever changed by watching a five to ten second long scene from Japanese animation.
