"I felt there are no borders for animation songs and cosplay."

And the Japanese ban American beef when this crap that rots people's brains has "no borders" . . . that's real fair.

Hey! I love Japanese animation, selctively of course. I don't like all the stuff but I think they are far ahead of anyone. No one does animation like the Japanese. The stories are great and funny! Yu Yu Hakusho, Yeah!!!! Well anyway, I don't see anything wrong with people having fun. However, like all things some people do take it to the extreme. That's when I leave.

I think cosplay can help bring peace to the Middle East.
