Like anyone who has ever sat through an anime, people think, how do the Japanese come up with such strange ideas? Well...the culture itself has an amazing collection of history and mythology that has linked itself in such a strange manner.
Anime is no exception to the rule about the use of the stories, if people will see anime like Sailor Moon, xxxHolic, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, Lament of the Lamb, Higurashi and so on you will hear the stories. They are told in different manners and some of the greatest series will show you the stories that have ever existed.
When I read about it now, I thought about how silly I was and that Japanese culture was something that I had no interest in until I started to read more into it. Stories like xxxholic and Higurashi took me into a dark side of anime and story telling. I became more interested in trying to make a sort of contribution to the Western World by going to Japan someday to collect the stories of the East and give the stories new life. No to mention try and consider what is going on in the world in a manner that is way beyond the Western thought.
