This is pretty much more to do with cultural differences between East and West than anything specifically to do with RPGs. Compare Western cartoons with Japanese anime and the difference is immediately apparent. Just compare Alice in Wonderland with Spirited Away. Japanese love to introduce mad and mind bending concepts with fanastical story. Western shows (and RPGs) are just that bit more grounded in reality, even when they're trying to be mad or insane.
