Absolutely loved Dead Like Me and it was such a shame it got where it got to.

So I am hoping they manage to move on to something more accessible yet still information dense, something um...more visually sensible 😅 yet not bland.
Not those pretty scrolling animating websites that are useless. "The West" has issues too and there isn't a one size fits all solution.

The article explains nicely multiple situation where applying the standards and practices from English speaking countries just does not work, on a very technical level, when trying to apply it to Japanese systems. It is sobering to think yes of course it loads slower with a 9000 character font.

As if trying to change something is a constant attack on the sacred culture and an infringement from "The West". And "The West" is this one singular thing as opposed to so many different approaches and cultures.
This, of course, isn't helped when the solutions people bring are not applicable.

But a thing that really bothered me there was that everything was considered culture. As if everything is set in stone. Traditions that have been there for hundreds of years and something that's been there a mere lifetime defended like something sacred.
Wonder if that's the approach to this too.

But the cultural reasoning is a bit confusing. Japan, in general, is very much a land of contradiction. A constant juxtaposition of modern and ancient, of minimalistic relaxation next to a downright visual attack, over explanation with lack of content, mascots in a land of stifled adults.

I have the curse of coming from a country that has websites that are ugly, uninformative, inaccessible and downright misinformative, all in one.
So you can imagine how frustrating it is to be a person that has artistic sensibilities, and a need for both clear instructions and high information.

One of the examples the author uses is abundant info while looking for apartments. I do not share the author's aversion to that. Maybe that too is a cultural thing seeing as I do not, in fact, come from "The West". I DO actually want to know and want to filter info based on many many parameters.

But I also have 0 appreciation for the Japanese visual salad. And sure, not being fluent has a part to play, but also having eyes and any kind of artistic sensibility does too. And the number 1 issue for me is accessibility. The burnt in text can sod off, seriously, unless they start using ALT text.

Колку и да е прекрасна кога сѐ ќе собере не дава простор и за други работи да се видат. Мислам, не е нивна вина, целиот тој евент е наопаку.
