I like Japanese things as well. It's not just a different location. It's a different culture. A different way of life. Personally, the only place I see the whole asian/japan praise thing out of control is Gaia. No where in my time off the internet whether it's snowboarding or school do I rarely see japanese praise. We have an anime club but I haven't seen much of them since there was a DDR tournament in the library months ago.
