I'm a native Japanese who recently started thinknig back the role of anime in our culture. I don't think it's just a hobby, but it is a part of our life. But many people, like me, don't think it is an essencial part of our life since anime is always there in our life. But I agree that U.S. has many excellent academic writings on anime.

Yap, I think that's part true. When foreigners pronouce Japanese, it sounds like a baby-talking and cute.

Ummm, I don't think so. Sometimes you have to carry your ID to show that you're legally working in or visiting the nation though.
