That might be true when it comes to films since they do enjoy perfection and doing things right. Unfortunately, not all Japanese films (sequel or not) take great care in plot, filmmaking, design, etc...the one recent film I can think of is Noroi which sounds like a JP version of "The Blair Witch Project." Apparently, this film scared people a lot that they dubbed it "forbidden" because of the realistic imagery and the subject of some ancient ghost/evil/curse. Don't know much about it but I would like to see it, I guess...but it seems cheap to me because, if it's like the Blair Witch, then it doesn't sound too appealing.
