As if it were not already plain enough how much the tastes of American anime fans differ to those of the Japanese, a survey of what the Japanese think of the USA’s “Top 30 Anime Classics” confirms it in no uncertain terms, with Ghost in the Shell and Akira yet again losing out to such genre classics as Pokemon, although it seems virtually everyone can agree on the greatness of Ghibli.

Metal Gear Solid is the latest franchise to be given over to Hollywood’s tender mercies, with fans of the series left wondering whether the movie will follow in the glorious footsteps of Hollywood’s past video game adaptations, or the even more esteemed path of its many adaptations of popular Japanese entertainment franchises.

The well deserved reputation of Americans for tolerance and humility has been highlighted by a series of widely circulated Tweets trumpeting the USA’s Olympic victory over Japan as “revenge for Pearl Harbor” (two nukes and 70 years of suzerainty apparently not being enough), in the otherwise obscure and unwatched sport of women’s football – where the USA received a drubbing at the hands of Japan’s team in 2011, which was responded to with the expected good grace.

Japanese have been bemusedly confronted with the wonders of “anime eyes” makeup, supposedly “attracting much attention throughout America” and certainly attracting much attention in Japan (though perhaps not for the same reasons).
