Why Japanese animation(Anime) is much cooler

First of all, Japanese people call their animation "Anime"(アニメ), which has already become a word that only refers to Japanese animation in English speaking countries. 
Second, they remake many classics from other countries and give those characters new life! 
If you are familiar with the Chinese classic: Journey to the West (西游记) ,you can't miss the Japanese remake version: Saiyuki(最遊記シリーズ) Here are some comparison pictures.
Journey to the West
Sun Wukong (孫悟空)

Japanese Version
Son Gokuu
This is the four of them( In the original, one of then should be a monk, another should be a pig, but here they all look super cool! LOL )


They also recreated a new story about the Greek and Roman myths
Saint Seiya (聖闘士星矢 Seinto Seiya) This was my favorite anime when I was in elementary school!
They are the fighters of Athena (Athena is the one standing in the middle)

Why do I choose to study Japanese

I am always interested in Japanese films and art. Works by 黑泽明,北野武,岩井俊二,and宫崎骏 are all fascinating. I am amazed by their philosophy and unique styles. Through this class I want to learn more about the Japanese culture, and hopefully I can understand Japanese movie with little help from the subtitles.However I found memorizing hiragana and translating romanized words into hiragana are quite challenging for me. I believe through practice I can overcome these difficulties.
