Furthermore, for many of us, it was anime which helped us to take our baby steps into the Japanese culture, the first leap onto the ladder of loving Japan, and everything it stands for.

Yeah. I think a lot of people, like me, begin to grow passionate about Japan because of anime. It's my dream, after i graduate high school, to visit Japan and learn their culture. Lots of anime reflects Japanese culture.
I get very incensed when ignorant people just think all anime is for kids. I think its mostly because the only anime they have ever watched would be Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z or Yu-Gi-Oh. (I'm not saying they're bad anime though, just that people tend to base their views on those three animes.) I think it's also because they can't see past the story lines of those anime and actually understand the message that's trying to be sent across.
Like, I know a lot of people who go, oh yeah Dragon Ball Z was awesome when we were like, 10. How can you watch anime when your older now? blah blahh~
