NO high school students do not devote time watching anime or reading manga obsessively. They are STUDYING.

NO people do not dress, act, or speak like in anime and manga. Japan is Japan, and works of fiction only occasionally come out as lifelike.

YES foreigners will be shunned if they have an over enthusiastic love for anime, manga, or if they cosplay.

YES you will be teased if you go to Akihabara.

YES you will be absolutely hated if you go to a Maid Cafe.

NO, you will not get a girlfriend if you can't get one in your own country.

Thank you, that is all.
well who goes japan jus for anime stuff anyways????
but why be teased if u go akihabara?


YOUR RIGHT NOTHING DOES LAST FOREVER, WE OBVIOUSLY PROVE THAT RIGHT

I don't know if I agree with your points, Phrase. But hey, a guy can dream once in a while can't he?

I agree with Kira as well. This thread is unnecessary. If you think about it, apart from trying to help us differentiate beween fiction and reality, you're also insulting us. Most of the people here can very well draw the line between anime and real life, thank you.


There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.

Gotta agree with AKIRA. It would be stupid just to go to Japan for anime? That's like.. going to America just for the burgers..

If I'll ever get the chance to go there, anime would be far away from my first priorities.

My girlfriend is an animator (well a failed one ) & to her anime is much more than a hobby. She loves it. She also wanted to work in Akihabara in a maid cafe but wont let me go as she thinks I'll....well you know.
I see people everyday, hundreds of them reading manga & so many of my Japanese friends watch a hell of a lot of anime.
It's on TV everyday.
I don't really agree with much of what the 1st poster said.
Probably he came to Japan thinking his love of anime would make up for his zero Japanese ability & looking like he'd been beaten with the ugly stick and when it didn't & he got laughed at & shunned he wants to feel better by thinking any foreigner would have the same problem

i didn't read all the posts but...

da f*ck do you care for what reasons people are visiting Japan? you should be glad that there are reasons for them to go there and spend their money on your economy.


P.S my friend was studying there in 11th grade.in class they still had notebooks with Disney characters - dwarfs, princesses, mermaids.
so what's wrong for people to visit Japan for "childish" reasons if its a huge thing over there?
