Anime series are also responsible for popularizing a number of Japanese dishes and bringing them into mainstream Western media. Even anime that are primarily based on adventure and action have also inadvertently popularized a number of dishes, such as Ramen from Naruto and Katsudon from Yuri!!! On Ice. But what makes these seemingly normal dishes stand out so eloquently in anime? Ranging from enticing visuals to the symbolism behind these dishes, Japanese animators incorporate a number of elements that allow viewers to become engrossed in these three-dimensional foods....

This newish trend of government commissars forcing sponsors of political speech to be named is dangerous and ahistorical. The tendency to target people based on unpopular views has bloomed out of control and is responsible for people losing their jobs and, in some cases, having their lives threatened....
