What's new

A lot of questions about Japan

Konnichiwa! I'm new and wonder many things.

1. What are general styles of humor in Nippon? I watch lots of anime with 4th wall breaking so that got me curious as to what stand up comedy and plays have for laughs.

2. Due to a scary incident when I was little, I grew up what some may call an "anti-pervert," so I wonder if there are males in Japan that are fed up with the stereotype as well.

3. I am curious as to what some taboo or off-color subjects are so I know what not to say if I visit Japan. I know the A-Bomb is one and a horrible case in the 1960s made incest a bad subject. Any others?

4. Often when I research media of movies or games, the bloody ones get a more mature content rating than here in America, yet some are given lower ratings. What are these questionable violent acts that are sensitive for TV and media?
 
1. Humour is base and slapstick mostly - some wordplay, but you need very good Japanese to get that

2. everybody is different

3. Lots of things

4. The media is owned by organised national syndicates
