I absolutely loathe anime. It's annoying and it's Japanese-ly weird. Like Excommunicado, I don't really understand this whole Japan craze. People act like Japan is some mystical place with a mystical culture and everything there is MYSTICAL! Umm...rrrrright. I'm gonna go over to where the sane people are... I have a friend who is just like that. He thinks Japanese culture is better than what he grew up in and he thinks that Anime makes you the "unique" person. It bugs me. Long story short: Anime is NOT that cool and Japan is NOT that mystical and awesome. Try living there. I'm sure you'd be sick of the cramped and tiny spaces, expensive cost of just about everything, and crazy-ass food made of carp (puke) and the tiny portions of the nasty food that they give you.
