I am doing a school research project on the anime/manga subculture and I need everyody who reads this to fill out this 'interview' sheet (it's supposed to be a 10-15 minute interview so try to put some time into your answers, but if you can only manage single sentences that okay too). It would be great if you could help me out.
Some of these questions might make decent discussion topics too. It would be great if you could fill out your (user)name, age, location and occupation, but it's not really neccessary...

Q: What is your first impression of the anime/manga subculture?
A:
Q: Have you ever attended an anime convention or know what it's like?
A:
Q: What do you think of the stereotype that anime fans are obsessive reclusives with a penchant for sex and violence?
A:
Q: Do you think anime/manga fans are somehow different from the Western comic fan? If so, why?
A:
Q: What do you think is the general appeal of anime and manga to Western fans?
A:
Q: Do you think Japanese culture itself is somehow integrally related to the appeal of anime and manga? In other words, what does Japan mean to anime/manga fans?
A:
Q: What do you think is the appeal of so-called American manga/anime, if any?
A:
Q: How can you explain the sometimes 'elitist' or 'purist' attitudes that some fans tend to develop?
A:
Q: What does the word 'otaku' mean to you?
A.
Q: Do you have any thoughts about the future of the anime/manga subculture (i.e. how much it will grow, ect)?
A:

Thanks very much!
