Fun look into the live of those apart of Japanese pop culture
|
And its not just about pop culture, it brings you along on a brief day-in-the life tour of shop owners, workers, anime enthuiasts, and game designers.
Well, you get a peek at the lives of about 4 people actually. But its allmost like a japanese reality tv program, but i guess it is much more fitting to call it a documentary.
It has good humor, i must say. I laughed out a loud at many parts.
Its even kinda touching in ways, becouse we see that stuff like anime, for instance, has such a strong influence on one young man's life.
Also, the dedicated shop owner of a electronic parts store was interesting.
We also see a designer of a very popular online game in japan.
And theres a man who builds computers and trys to top and break his processing speed record. Which the documentary claims holds the record for fasted computer built.
Plus, we get to meet a girl who dresses up in costumers at a resturant, who used to be very shy and not many friends, but the job has helped her not be alone anymore.
Its a fun dvd, and sorta kinda inspiring in a way, to see the lives of people in japan who find meaning and worth in life through what theyve come to love. I didnt expect that at all really.
I expected a hyper active insanly colorfull show on extremly fanatical anime and cosplay people in japan, but it ended up to be so much more than that, and has some depth.
I love finding these movies, becouse i havent gone to japan and i so very much wish to go, and this is pretty much all i have to see into a country and a culture ive loved for a long time.
Its 45 minutes long, and though i thought that would be too short, it ended up that it seemed to be just the right length. Regardless though, i wish i could see more of stuff like this. I want another dvd by these people, i wanna see more, i would love a part 2.
If you love japanese culture and love the anime lifestyle and dream of someday going to japan or even living there...this is one of the few resources i have seen out there that gave me a peek into anything regarding japanese day to day life.... so if you love this stuff...its definatly worth getting.
I want more japanese documentaries like this. I hope AnimeWorks plans more volumes of this.
Lastly, i think people who have ever found inspiration or influence through anime, through out life, will relate to this dvd. And dont forget, its funny aswell. So, have fun watching it. Its a little treasure. |
