I'm fascinated by Japan. I'd love to go and experience it for myself, because I think it would be a surreal experience. Maybe we don't get a very representative sample of their culture over here, but it seems that when they're not hurting each other in bizarre ways, they're enjoying utterly incomprehensible programmes like "Super Happy Bang-Bang Sunshine Prize show!!!!"

Here are a couple of animations which I absolutely love:

XiaoXiao No. 7

This is the best of the XiaoXiao series of stickman fights. It's a bit bloody so don't blame me if you find it offensive, but it's also jolly good fun. Watch our stick-man hero sneak into the enemy base and kill everyone in sight! There are seven others in this series, so look around for them!

Panasonic Hi-Ho!

Do you have ANY idea what these are about? No, nor me. Totally bonkers Japanese commercials. It must make sense to someone.

If anyone can translate for me, I'd be very very happy!

Number 1 : Umm... something to do with email. And a bear.
Number 2 : My best guess is that it's about online dating.

Number 3 : Blue guy drops dead. Big guy gives too much to charity. I think.
