ha, I'm only half-Asian american so I don't know if my opinion counts but I find crazyAmericananimefans to be a little weird, but not really that bad since they kinda live in their own world anyway. Saying "kawaii kawaii neeee" is hella annoying, but I understand that it probably becomes second nature or something after watching too many cartoons.

One thing that I cannot stand is dissing Chinese/Korean culture because it's not Japanese and getting this sort of fake "Japanese pride" just because they like anime. It's disrespectful and plain irrational. Japan is a very cool country granted, but I find that many anime-fans start hating on any other country that is not Japan.

One thing American anime fans need to realize is that when they get to Japan, they are really NOT gonna blend - not even in Akihabara, especially if they dress crazy or like their favourite character. People will probably just see you as another crazy nerdy foreigner.
