Opinions: Japan Edition!
Honestly, Japanese dubbed anime is as hit-or-miss as English dubbing. A lot of the “emotional acting” and “Kawaii acting” that people claim is better in Japanese dubs is actually overreacting to the point where that’s not even how Japanese people sound at all. The Japanese entertainment industry is crazy about over acting in everything. I’m even told to lighten my voice, smile excessively, and be more “genki” for auditions despite the role not having that many lines of dialogue or no lines at all. Kind of embarrassing actually.
Akihabara and Shibuya are the most overrated districts in Tokyo. If you want better video game or anime deals, go to Ikebukuro instead. Also, Shibuya izakayas are quite expensive so I wouldn’t recommend. Come to Asakusa!
Japan is not as technologically advanced as people think. More people here know how to use a fax machine than a PC for example. Also, banks are almost 80’s in the way they handle things since Japan is primarily a cash-based society.
Japanese medical care might not be the best in the world but at least you can afford to get treated if you need it. My health insurance is literally only less than ¥2,000 a month for 70% coverage on almost everything, including dental care! Take that, ‘Murcia!
Japanese government bureaucracy absolutely sucks! Takes forever to do anything and everything!
If you ever come to Japan, visit Tokyo and Osaka for a couple days at MOST. Visit the countryside!
