Why is everything that comes out of Japan incredibly confusing or profoundly disturbing?

It simply comes from the fact that the franchise is IMMENSELY popular right now. As far as brands go, right now I'd say Transformers is on a par with Harry Potter and surpassing Star Wars. It may be the most popular- read "valuable" franchise in marketing today...personally I can't think of anything more popular to a wider age group and demographic right now. Naturally, we end up with creepy stuff like this...
