There is a sense of fatalism in some Japanese anime. Some say that comes from the Hiroshima bombing.

I'm not familiar enough with pre/post war entertainment/literature in Japan to draw that conclusion.

"There is a sense of fatalism in some Japanese anime."

(Thanks for the info.) This is common in modern media and of Leftist origin, in my opinion. Everyone has something to gripe about, but some choose to be positive despite that. I try to take that path.
