Any Japanese class is filled with Otakus, no matter the level of the course. Apparently, learning the language they're speaking in is considered cool in anime neard social circles.

Not really. Cartoons over here is anime over there. Comics here is manga there. Striking up a conversation about anime with anyone won't land you on an awesome persons list anytime soon: you're talking about cartoons. Imagine people here talking about Spongebob, Blue's Clues, Dora, and lord knows what other cartoons are on television today as if it were a common conversation to have.
One of the many reasons why I facepalm myself when I see people wanting to become Mangakans, or whatever the hell they're called, because they think they'll be amazingly popular over there.
