I don't think it's that weird... anime and games are just a part of Japanese media, so I'd imagine it would be like a Japanese person saying they love Lost, or Harry Potter, or something from a country not their own. Would you think any less of them for it?

The people in Japan that I mentioned liking anime too didn't have either reaction - I guess they felt it was interesting, but weren't actually that into anime themselves so had the same 'oh, that's nice' reaction that anyone who doesn't share the same interest as me gives, regardless of nationality XD If you're fanboy/fangirlish to a point that you're going to Japan with naiive expectations you might get fellow foreigners thinking your strange, but I doubt you'll get any Japanese people being rude to you because of it.
