At the university that I went to (in the US), every semester we'd have Japanese exchange students come over... and every semester they would have to go out of their way to avoid the anime club, because the anime club would always hound them, asking questions about what their favorite anime is or what anime is popular in Japan at the time. It was a little embarrassing to watch. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some anime just as much as the next guy (or girl)... I have a few series sitting on my shelves - but the bottom line is, anime isn't, nor shouldn't, be a reason for someone to make a life-changing decision like moving to a foreign country.

This happened to me while I was in Taiwan. Everyone thought I played basketball because I was black. One guy kept calling me Kobe.
At first it was funny...then it got kind of annoying.
Everything in life requires balance. If you love Anime, watch it! Just don't become a Hikikomori because of it.
