    Let’s have a dicussion about Japanese Storytelling and Eastern Storytelling.

    Like for example:

    How do Americans and Japanese Storytellers tell a story?

    What are the Troupes they use?

    What are their Strongsuits?

    This is a remake of Western Storytelling and Eastern Storytelling. The reason I made it because I generalized Western Storytelling to American Storytelling and Eastern Storytelling to Japanese Storytelling. Which was god level unfair for my part.

    Thank you Grimmijaggers for reminding me.

    As for Strongsuits, all I can think of is this:

    -Eastern Storytelling:

    Freedom of expression and creativity

    Making their Anime, Manga, and Tokusatsu pure Character Development

    -Western Storytelling:

    I don’t know

    As for the Troupes, these are all the troupes I can think of

    -Eastern Storytelling:

    Battle Shonen Troupe

    Loly Troupe

    Waifu Troupe

    Harem Troupe

    Moe Troupe

    Ecchi Troupe

    -Western Storytelling:

    Popular Kid being a Jock and/or Rich Kid Troupe

    -Both:

    Superhero Trope(Both Eastern Superhero Trope and Western Storytelling Trope)

    Fantasy Trope

    Sci-Fi Trope

    Chosen One Trope

    I remember making a facebook post about it as well as Hollywood VS Anime videos.

    I remember seeing and hearing this.

    Buddhism, Taoism, and Shinto play a crucial role although the Easterners didn’t put and use them to preach to people. They use it the same way that Tolkien puts and use Christianity in his story.

    Japanese Creators are not afraid to have their characters lose and have their characters train and they like to make their stories into pure growth. The Japanese are masters at potraying Tragedy well.

    American Creators don’t have their characters lose at a fight although sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Nor show their characters grow or train although some they do sometimes they don’t.

    Both Japanese Creators and American Creators express emotions well but Japanese Creators express emotion well in a Superior Level.

    I don’t know I may be generalizing here.

    Literature Devil made a video awhile back on this very subject. I find it very well thought out.

    He argues that the base of the Eastern Vs. Western storytelling differences lie in the plot structures of “The Odyssey” and “Journey to the West”.
