When I was a kid and first got into anime, I had a very distorted view of Japan.
These days, after all the studying I've done, and talking to people, I've learned better. But it sure is obnoxious to me, in my search for friends who are interested in Japan, that the majority of people who say they are think that it's like anime in real life, or that all Japanese people are mangaka. ><; I guess you can't blame them, because that's all they know, and like I said, I used to be so ignorant too. But it does sort of make us look like ばかな外人.
I have yet to actually go to Japan, though, so I can't really talk about "what Japan is really like" because I don't know yet! ^^;
