Not OP, but I actually feel this way sometimes. And it has nothing to do with anime or manga, and more with the way I act around people. I know English and English-speaking countries have certain social customs, but in Japan they seem a lot more pronounced. I have bad social anxiety, and the fact that these customs are so heavily in place seems like it would take off some worry in social situations.

I mean, I definitely don't want to live in Japan for a number of reasons, but sometimes I'll be watching a movie or an anime, and the conformity aspect of their culture is comforting as a fantasy. I know if I actually lived there, I'd be more miserable than I am, so when the topic of Japan comes up I know it's different and I'd never mention it. But as a fantasy, it's nice.

I understand that. I'm the same way, and the idea of a rigid and universally recognized set of social customs, even just in terms of the language, is very appealing. Oftentimes I struggle with finding the right response to things, so a culture that has generic appropriate responses for a number of situations sounds like a relief.
