I had a good chuckle when the girl at the beginning said (or it seemed like she said) that she found it scary thinking of seeing 'him' in Cosplay

Iv noticed alot over the course of the interviews that the interviewees English are getting much better too

I was surprised that when I came to Japan, people here don't care about anime and video games. Not to mention the lack of technology. Less than most western nations.

All the stuff 13 year olds in America say "I LOVE JAPAN AND JAPANESE CULTURE I WANNA LEARN JAPANESE BE A SAMURAI DESU DESU DESU!!!!111!!!" really doesn't exist.

Japan is not the o-taku Mecca. They think you are as weird here, as in America.

I agree with blue33d
Being too enthusiastic and absorbing like a sponge all the information you can possibly find about manga and anime makes you an otaku.
