I mean, if you think about sequences its more like: Anime/Manga > More Anime/Manga > I love japan and want to move there
I just think that the proper way to do it is: Anime/Manga > Visit Japan > Like it enough > Do more research on the country > Do love it, lets move there (Or Anime/Manga > Do more research > Visit > Move)
Or like yourself, other valid reason.
basically, don't just say "i want to move to japan" after watching several episode of naruto, and claim that "I am interested in their culture".
If you do a search on the "living in Japan" forum, you will find a LOT of idiots saying that "Japanese Culture" is the reason why they want to move there, while you can tell they know nothing about Japanese culture....
Edit: Look up "Funk Fujiyama" on youtube, its a song from the 80s by Kome Kome Club, that pretty much summarize what limited knowledge most foreigner has about Japan: Samurai, Geisha, Sushi, Mt Fuji, Harakiri
The song is a pun on foreigners, but I really don't think its far off

Well other sad thing is that they really don't think about the cultural differences that exist between oriental and occidental cultures... and to get used to a totally diferent country is really dificult!!! To live in other country its hard and sometimes sad if you are alone in a strange place!!
The Anime is not real and the people dont even talk or act like that -O-!!!
If u guys are gonna love Japan cos of the anime and manga its Ok!! but think twice about living there... or u guys can go whit a friend or something cos the "fairy tale" where u live is going down u,u!!
