Question:
I've never been to Japan but I have watched Japanese anime and read Japanese manga. Right now, I think that this is what Japan is like. What are the differences between the culture showed in anime and manga and the real Japanese culture?
Answer:
EVERYTHING is different between manga and reality. Don't confuse them. And it depends on each manga because there are so many from Japan.
Addition:
I told you that it depends on each manga because there are so many. You need to tell us which part or episode of manga you are talking about.
Addition2:
>Well for starters why in manga do the kids always seem to lack their parents. Is living alone at a young age considered normal?
This is VERY unlikely in real Japan. That's why I said "Don't confuse manga with reality". Please tell me more if you want.
Addition3:
>Well what about school life. Do Japanese kids really have a giant festival every year?
Giant or not. Yes, each school has a school festival, most likely in fall.
>And are do the girls really wear skirts that go as low as the ones in anime do?
Low? You mean short? Well, it depends on each girl. Some of them wear a very short skirt. Some others have longer one.
Addition4:
>What about religion? Is it true that it is highly unlikely that Japanese people participate in any religion. Is atheism common in Japan?
Yes. Japanese people do not care religion so much. It's not even "atheism". Just not interested.
Addition5:
>Is it common to die hair these radical colours in Japan
Not at all.
>is that just anime making stuff up for the sheer hell of it?
Yes.
But it's common to have brown hair. Blonde is rare. But possible. Maybe less than 5% of people. People are just dyeing. Nearly 100% of Japanese people have black as natural hair color.
