I think, in Japan, animation isn't relegated to being a genre unto itself.

Not every action or emotion however admits of the observance of a due mean. Indeed the very names of some directly imply evil, for instance malice, shamelessness, envy, and, of actions, adultery, theft, murder.

It is impossible therefore ever to go right in regard to them - one must always be wrong.
Aristotle
