Anime has spawned a generation or two of people who think that they can learn japanese from watching it, and then live in Japan, possibly either getting a job as an anime artist/game designer, or going to Tokyo Tower and being transported into a magical anime world where they are magical Kawaii Neko Neko warriors who have to save the world with their magic sword/staff/whatever.
Too true. I don't HATE anime, I thought Digimon was cool at first when I was younger and Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Tenchi Muyo were interesting, but it's not excellent.

Anime is a PAST TIME, not a way of life. I actually know someone who pretty much failed french class last year, because all she did during that class was read little anime comics and try to write in japanese. She also let me look at those comics, and all it was was weird crazy stuff with naked chicks with enormous boobs and guys in towels and enormous pigs on those girls (I'm being serious here.) It was scary.

If you watch anime, good for you, just don't let it consume you. Then it gets frightening.
