Japanese culture is different from Western Judeo-Christian-origin cultures.

It’s more liberal in some ways, more conservative in others.

This. I’m not surprised if the Japanese look at Hollywood movies and think why are American movies so incredibly violent?

If you think that’s bad, you should check out the stuff targeted at girls.

Anime is much closer to a medium than a specific genre.
