Styles, color schemes, content. That's just regular art. With Japananame it's style and technique. I prefer Japanese cartoon artists MUCH better then American cartoon artists. We haven't made anything good since the 40's and 50's. Our art is lazy. The Japanese put some SERIOUS detail into their stuff. Just another thing we started and got lazy on.

Go on an asian online chat room.  You'll find plenty that want to write to an American.  Japanese people are very nice.

I watched the American version first so I got pretty scared. When I watched the Japanese version, I was aware of the plot already so I didn't get so surprised.  I guess the American version was better for me.

A little homework help, chel?\n\nOkay.\n\nnot a - the basic characters and meanings are shared between the two countries\n\nnot b - both peoples have considerable love and respect for parents and ancestors.\n\nnot c - considerable respect for the merchant class especially beginning in feudal Japan, to today.\n\nI would say D - the Japanese promote by measuring one's accomplishments and skills...not by how one would do on an exam.\n\nDEFINITELY NOT E

Japan is a strange pantheistic mix of Shintoism and Buddhism.  There are shinto aspects to weddings, and buddhist aspects to funerals. There are shinto shrines and buddish shrines. You could say that Japan has one religion - a shinto/buddhist hybrid. Different facets of Japnese life involve one or the other. But unlike the USA, no one is zelous about religion, unless they have been converted to christianity anyway - the shinto and buddhist religions in japan are more cultural than religious.

What kind of students are you talking about? High school students? One of the big differences between American students and Japanese students is that most Japanese students go to a cram school after regular classes at a high school. So a typical Japanese high school student's weekday will be like going to school at 8:30 am, finish regular classes at about 4 pm, attend a club activity at school and finish it at about 6 pm. Leave the school and head for the cram school which starts at about 7 pm, then they finally come home at about 9 pm. Students who go to a cram school are usually seniors and they have to study very hard for the entrance exam for the university. They usually go to cram school 3-5 days a week. Many of them also work part time. Of course, there are some students who don't plan to go to university then these students simply work part time or hang out after school. \nAnother difference is that most Japanese high schools (not only private schools but also public schools) have very strict rules. Some high school don't allow students to work because they think students should concentrate on their studies. Many students are required to wear uniforms and some of the very very strict schools measure the length of girl's skirt once in a while to make sure they're dressed appropriately. \nAlso many Japanese students go to school by train, or bus, or bike or on foot. They never go to school by car. Well people have to be over 18 years old to get a driver's license there.\nAnd one last thing, Japanese students rarely party. Partying is not a part of Japanese culture, so Japanese students don't party like American students.

Dont trust websites, you should always try and get kanji tattoos translated properly. So many people get the wrong thing, and have no idea!\nYou also want to make sure its the same style,font and brushstroke as the other one your have.

There are two main ways of writing japanese, hiragana and katakana not including the hiroglyphics/picture words. It is a pretty complex language unless you only wish to speak it but I would advise you order a book and CD or take a course somewhere.

my philosophy on that is, I truly believe in buying american cars as I was born here in the U.S. I buy american products 100%. Why? because even though I wasn't born in the 1940's, but americans forgot that Japan bombed pearl Harbor and yet to this day, they buy Japanese cars. Americans buy Jap cars because americans don't have faith in their own products and rely on foreigners because their products are well made and last long.I don't beleive in that and I will always support the working americans with their products. As all my cars I owned and still own is a Ford.

That's how English works.  A painting is not being painted any more; a drawing is not being drawn any more.  Sometimes English is weird.

If you got one of those cheesy japanese cars (honda, toyota...) not very big - like the size of a pea.  A hearty American car can withstand much more abuse. \n\nCheers!

The terms are almost synonymous.  The only difference I could see that is that the term Jew in America defnines a person as being Jewish, not American, and America is solely a geographical location, and not part of an identity.  The term American Jew seems to combine to aspects  - Jewish and American - in one identity.  Does that make sense?
