 I am glad to know that I am not the only one who thinks this way about
 American Media.  I was able to view movies and TV programs from a
 number of different nations and cultures when I was in China.  However,
 it is quite difficult to do the same in U.S. 
 I am also a Japanese anime fan.  Anime is willing to adaptd stories
 from any culture ever existed, whereas American media has never been
 able to do so.
