HEAR HEAR to the preceding comment Removing the anime section has NOTHING to do WHATSOEVER with diminishing the dignity or importance of Japan or Japanese culture it has to do with removing something totally worthless anime from a serious solemn topic Its worthlessness has nothing to do with the fact it is Japanese If someone was fouling a serious article about something from Japanese history was something equally worthless from Western culture say including a reference in about how Bruce Wayne references the habits of Tokugawa shoguns in Batman 839 I would expect it to be removed with all due haste It is only because of the obsessive sperglording and total inability to contextualize of users like Tryptofish that the subject is even being taken as a dismissal disrespect of Japan to begin with
