Are there any other Anime lovers who aren't obsessed with Japan?

...Great...just f**king great, i have arachnophobia, i was at least going to go to Sydney sometime but i guess that's just not going to happen now, hell no staying as far away from Australia as humanly possible now.
Well at least there's no horrible spiders in Amsterdam, Germany, Russia or Japan so those places are safe to visit, ahh man that's right i wanted to ride a Kangaroo as well...well off to the Zoo i go...to get kicked out for riding a Kangaroo throughout the zoo....it'll be worth it

Wait, what? How does one ride a kangaroo? They stand upright...

Simple.
Jump on it's back and hang on for dear life, then whilst hanging for dear life the kangaroo freaked that something jumped on it's back starts jumping away at a fast pace

Kinda like that picture...except I'm not that fat or tall...actually I'm small and skinny enough it could actually work.

Only thing i like about Japan is the Anime from there, i couldn't care less about the country itself.

I'm far from being "obsessed" with Japan I guess you can say the only thing I am "obsessed" with is the cuisine. I'm interested in food from any country really because I am going to school to be a chef. Japanese food just takes my interest because it is not only incredibly healthy, it is created with a lot of finesse.

I had a friend who was from Japan. She taught me a lot about modern Japan and the modern culture. Despite what everyone believes I did not form a friendship with her because of my interest in anime. Anime was something for us to discuss, yes, but often times we discussed the differences in our culture and what was "weird" to her and what was "weird" to me.

Other cultures are always going to fascinate people. I don't think anyone here is "obsessed" with Japan as you put it, just introduced to another culture that is interesting to us who are not exposed to it everyday.

i'm certainly not obsessed with japan..i like anime and read a few ...very few ...manga...but the modern culture and such of japan does not interest me much... the older japan is much more interesting...but even that isn't worth the hassle of going there...

My cousin loves anime, but is totally indifferent to Japanese culture. I think the only real thing he likes about Japan is that Akihabara is there to cater his Otaku needs.
