while we're on the subject i find the japanese section to be unbalanced contradictory and brief largely relating to how there is a duality in the portrayal the section on messianic views transcendence and rebirth are directly borrowed from western portrayal why is the fact that they are not specifically religious even relevant why is there only a brief sentence on the portrayal in art of death and rebirth and hiroshima and nagasaki that seems to me to be far more interesting relevant and not fancruft than a section on western censorship of kids' cartoons
