BRIGHT SIDE -- Dec 07

Anime is super popular around the world, and it actually has an educational function. It's very realistic and has many features that pertain to real life, giving insights into real Japanese culture.

If you’ve ever watched anime, you must’ve noticed how carefully animators depict the meals characters eat in most series: a bowl of ramen, the traditional Japanese noodles, is usually drawn in careful detail. A lot of series take Japanese myths and legends as the foundation of their plots. You can learn a lot about what they believe in from anime.
