If you've lived on the internet long enough, you'll know that most of the media or things associated with Japan is usually eccentric and weird. So odd in fact that whenever something strange and foreign appears on the web we say: "Yeah, that's got to be Japanese."
Sure, it's probably genius to them, but it kind of leaves the rest of us shaking our heads. Some Japanese oddities that I've come across are:

Then I saw "Electric Dragon 80,000V" in which I never heard of it before. And it falls into the catagory of "I can't tell if they are serious or not." For being made in two weeks, I'm surprised it didn't look like a high school film project. Some of the angles are interesting and it's kind of cool that it's black and white. As for he story itself, it seems like they were going for a certain level of "badass" but it just becomes very corny to me. If there was an American adaptation of this film, it might have a much different impact and even story.
The phone flipping with the sound effects... corny as it comes. Laughed every time that it occurred.
