People often apply what they learn from anime as if it were the reality of life in Japan too. You would think Japan were still fuedal with the amount people attribute honor to the cultural norms of Japan. It is far more intentional and curated than a penchant for honor. I think perhaps we can miss some lessons in community values by seeing it so narrowly.
I don't watch anime but I do love visiting Japan, and that has often stuck out to me with friends.
