Well dammit whoever likes anime likes anime. I understand that it's hitting russia bigtime too. In the U.s it's only truly started gaining popularity in the last 6 years. America is probably the only country that has an animation industry anywhere near the size of Japans.

i don't know for sure but from my experience it seems like american are more crazy about anime and japan is probably father down. but japan has as much anime as they could ever need we wait and bootleg and download but it's like mice who live in cheese factory probably don't like cheese as much as the mice who only get crumbs that fall off the delivery truck. i don't know that just makes sense to me but i'm probably way off and i'm sure non of you understand what i mean. oh well thats my take on it

I just have to say that Asians (lack of a better word) like anime more, just because they`re more knowledgeable of it. A lot of people I know don`t even know what anime is. If I give them an example, they say -oh, you mean cartoons.-. My dad even thought that ANIME was just a word I made up, because it would sound better than CARTOONS, until he went to an electronics store and saw an Anime section.
But I think those who live further away from communities that have anime, like Japan, China, become more involved with the whole concept. Because it`s not avalable at their disposal, like me.
So, I think we`re more interested in it, because it`s not necessarily something of the everyday in our communities. It`s just something different and more interesting.
