What if...

[lawtonfogle]

What if a person had a love for Japan without ever seeing an Anime. What if they wanted to learn Japanese before ever hearing an Anime. What if for some reason, they just wanted to go to Japan, before ever being introduced to Anime. Then this person saw an Anime.

The thing is, people want to do the above listed things because they watch anime. What would happen the one who already wanted to do the above, then saw anime. Would they become even more addicted than a normal person? Just wondering.

Same here.I've always liked the culture and stuff and it's kinda the same addiction just a lil' stronger.

Maybe they wouldn't care about anime...

I fall into this situation, somewhat. Of course, before anime I was really into Godzilla movies, so that probably doesn't help.

However, the thing that separates me from your Joe Typical stereotyped modern anime fan is that I'm not obsessed with either Japan itself or with anime. It's just another part. It's interesting and I like learning about the culture and enjoy anime, but it's not all I talk about (music or computers would probably take that position, even though those do play into my AMV hobby - of course, the main reason I'm into AMVs isn't so much the anime as it is the creativity factor, and the way you can play around with things).

^ same here, I'm more of a music nerd then anything else.

I've always had an interest in Japan. Before I ever saw an anime.

I also don't really like anime that much. There are only a few good ones out there in my opinion. I prefer Jdorama much more than anime.

What I am asking/saying is that the above signs of an anime superfan. I myself have watched a few different series, and only one, do I not like. The only one other do I not think is supurb. The thing is, I might could be (form my little experience) anime fan, but I already show all the signs of one befor I even knew what anime was. I was just wondering, how much more will I like Japanese.

I think I understand you, but then again I'm not really sure.
