"Japanalogy"? Really? edit

Given that neither of the linked sources use this term -- instead favoring "Japanese Studies" -- shouldn't the article and its associated category be moved to the latter? The claim that Europe prefers the term "Japanology" is unsourced, and is not backed up by a cursory investigation. Pending no objections, I'll move this and the associated categories to the term that has sources. -- Merope 14:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Moving was the right decision. As far as I can tell, it's any language but English that uses "japanlogie", "japanología" or similar.
Anyways, the first sentence of the article, if shortened, comes out as "Japanese Studies [...] is a term [...] to describe the historical and cultural study of Japan; in North America, [it] [...] is usually referred to as Japanese studies." Huh?!? -- 78.34.44.39 (talk) 13:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Nihonjinron edit

Is this different than Nihonjinron? That article is lengthy and detailed, while this one is a stub. B7T (talk) 11:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes, Nihonjinron is a specific introspective genre of Japanese studies, written by Japanese authors, generally claiming some form of Japanese exceptionalism. —Nizolan (talk · c.) 21:49, 19 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Listing "Manga, Anime" edit

That's kinda ridiculous to list in the things you study. Manga and Anime is already covered with "arts". Or otherwise we'd also have to write "movies, TV shows" etc. since that's basically the same type of sub-part of a media.
