but from what i have seen its more or less that your media jumps on anything has has to do with violence and outragous things
and you wonder why the culture of america is so violent
from what i have seen in anime you'd think japan would be crasy for blood
That's just what our media shows because that's what sells, which should be obvious from the popularity of anime (since you used it as an example). The public would rather hear of a tragedy and be out-raged rather than hear a a calm happy story. Sure, romance movies get decent enough profits at the theatre but what really sells? Comedy movies that push the envelope, usually involving a lot of slap-stick, then action and horror...that's what the masses love.
