While caught up in the daily grind in Japan, it's easy to forget that animation is the solution to most of your problems. So they've created a government post to promote animation and already named a mascot to the position.
In related news, Japan is now considered a front-runner for the coveted "Weirdest Culture of 2008" title.
Japan embraces animation. It serves a purpose for both young and old. Most Americans (Puritans) dismiss this as bizarre and almost fetishistic.
Generally, I can take it or leave it BUT I appreciate the fact that it feeds and clothes people like me who choose to draw for a living.
Make cartoons, not crystal meth!
