Whether you like Japan or not, Japan is on another level. I think that when I watch the Japanese animation (anime) or read comics (manga). Some anime and manga include deep contemplation of the meaning of life, but they are not boring at all. If you do not want complicated thought, it will be good. You can just watch or read just for fun. The anime and manga are interesting in themselves. If you want philosophical speculation, it will be better. You can think the depth of life with them.
Of course, not every anime and manga is like that. One of that kind of animes is Ghost in the Shell. It's high quality science fiction animation. You may be satisfied with the story and composition. Moreover, it contains the question of 'life and death', and 'body and soul'.
The Ghost in the Shell does not give the answer because no one can give the answer except God. Instead, it gives an opportunity to think about that through the exciting screen.
By the way, I have no idea why women wear the optical camouflage fatigues under their underwears, and men wear the optical camouflage fatigues over their garments.
