) Do you like anime more than live-action films? If yes (or no), why?
Yes because I think it takes more talent to draw something to look realistic then to act emotion.
2) When you watch anime, does that encourage you to like Japan?
(*never mind the fact that I'm Japanese
You can say whatever you want.)
Why of course! It spurred me to learn the history, the culture, and even teach myself the language.
3) Do you find anime characters look like Western people or Asians, or something else? Do you identify yourself with anime characters?
I think they do have a tendency to look like Western People and yes I do identify myself with anime characters.
4) If there is any, what do you learn from anime?
Culture, language..some of the meanings behind the way Japanese people think and thier beliefs.
5) Have you ever talked to any Japanese people about anime, and found something different in your understanding of anime and theirs?
Not particularly really o.o
