If you wanted to actually learn anything about Japan I wouldn't really watch this.
I found the series as I am currently undertaking a research project on Japanese Horror. The episode on Japanese horror did not really help me, most of what was shown in the episode was also rather irrelevant. With only a couple of interviews with people related to the horror genre. And little talk of more than three or four films. I was hoping for it to contain a lot more on the subject.
All of the episodes; although they contain many interviews etc are not very informative, and probably 20% of the episode are comprised of animated pictures to smooth the cut in between pieces.
Definitely not a recommendation if you were seeking to learn anything.
