not quite.

if e would compare the american pop colture medium vs the japanese pop colture mediu, we would see that in the mainstream, japan creates considerablly weaker characters.

think about DC vs anime, for example.

most shonen protagonists, or character in general, are not even close to planetary level, yet most of the characters in the DC universe just casually obliterate planets and stars.

sur,e from time to time you'll have somethign like dragon ball, who makes very overpowered characters, but most anime characters are more grounded then their western counterparts.

in visual novels and light novels, there are some times in which the creators allow themselves to create rediculously, OP hgiher dimensional beings, to pay for the lack in plot.

most other anime and manga at least attempt to make some form of coherent, interesting plot.

it is a known trope that whenever you failed with creating a good plot, you just need to flash out fights, make OP things, and hope that your viewrs are not smart enough and delicated enough to see the faults in it, and to hope that they would be fine with just stupid, irrational fighting and OP reasonless things.

luckily, most anime TRY not to fall into that cathegory (though eventually many of them fall near the end to this pit, and copy DBZ).
