amerikajin desu. I am studying the Japanese language, and I enjoy many aspects of your culture: art, history, entertainment. on the word "otaku", I think of the original meaning, which is like an obsessive personality, an alcoholic or cigarette smoker. The meaning of the Japanese term changed over here; maybe to a not-so-harsh interpretation. I do not use it.
to me, I like watching anime for fun; I do not analyze why it is good or not, and each person over here can "see" it as they wish. jâ, ne---timo

SOOOOO MANY QUESTIONS!!! Okay, *takes deep breath* I love anime and manga made me start obsessing about Japan. Most anime people look american which is kind of awkward, but makes them stand out, and.. I didn't read the rest, so just put a Yes for the rest of them.
