No discussion of the Japanese entertainment industry and culture is complete without Anime. Once a niche subculture, it is now a multi-billion dollar juggernaut. What makes anime different from Western animation is its demographic breadth:
Manga (comics) is the source code. Unlike the US, where comics are a sub-market, manga is mainstream in Japan; businesspeople read it on trains, and convenience stores carry entire aisles of Weekly Shonen Jump. The "production committee" system (where multiple companies invest in an anime to reduce risk) allows for massive variety but often exploits animators, a dark side of the industry currently undergoing reform.

The appeal is the giri (obligation) and ninjo (human feeling) of watching someone struggle under absurd constraints. It mirrors the societal pressure to perform perfectly under observation.
