Um, this thread is ignorant, stupid, and baseless.
Yes, there are some shows and movies with bad acting, but from the examples you all have given, they're just cash-in bits and rely more on the franchise than the quality. It's the same in America. If you think Tom Cruise or Uma Thurman can act their way out of a bag, you are wrong.
Try watching some actual japanese cinema. Go get a Miike, Takeshi, or Kurosawa film and actually watch it.
