[samurai007]

There are very, very few gaijin in Japan compared to the number of Japanese people. Almost all of those otaku fanboys never make it to Japan, and if they do, it's for a visit, not to live there.

And the ones that do make it will find it bittersweet. Yes, it's JAPAN! But it's not like how it is in the manga and anime, it's real life, with all the difficulties, worries, and frustrations that involves. And yes, there is a ton of manga and anime to be found, a great majority of which is unheard of in the west! But it's all in Japanese, no English anywhere, so unless you know Japanese rather fluently, all you can do is enjoy the art, you can't really grasp the intricacies of the dialogue or story. Are you fluent in Japanese? Most of the otakus that dream of Japan are not, which means they may find all kinds of new treasures... and can't understand any of it, some times not even the title or the names of the main characters.
