Also, Cobra Kai has got truly ridiculous and become a parody of itself. It ought to have ended at least one series ago, as the drama between Johnny and Daniel is over (ie they've pretty much buried the hatchet).

Did I just delete my long comment on The Last Samurai? Dammit. The thrust of it was that cultural appropriation seems to be a handwringing issue in the US, whereas in Japan they don't really give a crap (I don't think we really give a crap here in the UK either). I gave a few examples to back up my claims (eg the Japanese reaction to the remake of Ghost in the Shell), but I can't be bothered to write them all out again, sorry.
