    Yeah I really like the idea of an E-ink screen for my phone, both for sparing my eyes and my battery. But the way they cripple these phones make them a no-go.

    That’s coming from someone who is typically very mindful of keeping myself undistracted - I have the alarm clock from the same company just so I can leave the phone in the kitchen when I go to bed.

    I do agree that Japanese culture is less prude than US culture, and the age of consent has been 13 in Japan for a long time (it was raised to 16 a couple of years ago). So that will bleed into mainstream media in a way that sticks out to Americans, but not because it was the intent of the producer to make the show sexualized - it’s just what life in Japan looks like.

    In a similar way, while Americans are scared of nudity, they are desensitized to violence and put way too much of it in US shows. IMO, I’d rather let my kids see nudity than someone being shot in the head. But neither is the primary reason that I watch a show.
