Yeah.. told ya. Japan is 5 years behind the usa/west. In fact, still room for it to speed up.
Before we know it, every anime will have the demo makeup of new york and artstyle turns to bean mouth lol.
In terms of popular culture and (((western))) "societal values", then yes they are behind
But in terms of demography, financial structure, distractions that futurists have dreamt of, ultimately resulting in a reduced person - they are ahead by 10-20 years I reckon
Are you sure about the later part?
The most popular genrea being shounen often has a protagonist rise to power and becoming a hero who the entire world hopes he prevails. That does not sound like a reduced person to me at all.
in reality yes. i lived there 10 years ago. factory worker, consumerist mindset. very few think about or imagine the future as we outside of japan do
reduced to a cog in a machine and worked to death with few chances for proper rest.
