I came upon this video called "Japan: The Strange Country". From a graphically point of view I thought it looked really cool. It was very simple. The style almost looks like that of the Vimeo or Twitter websites. Only that it's in motion.
As far as the content goes well I don't know. The first part seemed fine, but when it got to the 8 things about Japan, it kind of got a little how can I say it. Well, almost anti-Japanese. It could almost be a bashing thing. I know this was a translated voice over, but I think the wording is just really bad. If as the creator stated it was for the Japanese people, shouldn't he have used we, us, or you? He also stated it was from a foreigner's point of view. Who cares what the foreigners think. I don't think the Japanese locals are gonna care what the foreigners think. Anyways, you decide for yourself.
