I've loved seafood all my life including Sushi and I've only been watching anime for a little over a year. I used to say that anime fans were fags and losers to give you an example. Sushi is one of my favorite foods, but I only go out for it once a month 'cause it's so expensive.

If I hated it, I wouldn't eat it.

I don't have much money to throw around, and since sushi is so expensive, I wouldn't waste my time if I was just eating it because I was an anime-freak.

Love seafood. LoveD sushi. Hate it now.

Sushi was one of those things that are good once in a while, but when you're forced to have it so often with really bad quality ones, you get sick of it really quickly.

Is it just me, or do anime fans seem to have a coincidental affinity for sushi?

I can understand thinking it doesn't taste bad or maybe even tastes good, but when something as relatively flavorless as sushi becomes one of your favorite foods, something's up. I have to wonder if the same people wouldn't find any other combination of raw fish, rice, and seaweed to be disgusting or flavorless.

So, who else here does NOT consider sushi to be a wonderful and delicious food, presumably just because they are obsessed with Japan due to anime?


Sushi, like anime gets better with increased exposure and variety. I don't think it is tasteless . . . . quite the opposite, depending on the kind of sushi you get.

Beyond that, I discovered sushi 10 years ago when I moved in with friend who was from Japan. Prior to that I knew and cared very little about Japan. My friend actually told me once that I should have been born in Japan because my tastes in food lean so heavily toward theirs. So to they guy on the first page that said, "White people aren't built with genes for liking Asian food. On the other hand if you're Asian, CHING CHONG NIP NONG WONG." You are mislead. I am white, and I love a whole bunch of different kinds of Asian food, including Japanese (which does not only mean sushi).

Also, I didn't discover anime until a few months ago, so my preference for sushi has nothing to do with it. And . . . because of the unique flavor that sushi has I can't really imagine someone forcing themselves to eat it even if they didn't like it just to look cool in front of their friends.

However, I bet there is a correlation between people who like Japan and anime and people who like sushi if only because people already aquainted with Japanese culture are proabably more likely to TRY sushi than someone who knows nothing or cares little about Japan.

I like the taste of sushi.

However, when I first tried sushi, they seemed to me the nastiest food.
Then I tried them again a year later, in another restaurant. They seemed to me very tasty.
It all depends on where and how they are cooked.

My dream is to enjoy authentic Japanese sushi ^ _ ^

I don't like sushi unless it's that california roll kind that you can get that doesn't have raw fish and stuff, although the kind with just the seaweed rice and raw salmon is pretty good too, I hate the kind with the big ball of rice with the big slab of tuna or salmon on top though. I'm more of a fan of good old pasta though.

I wouldn't say it's one of my favourite foods but I still like it, more or less. Although I must say that I tend to prefer the more western influenced kinds of sushi like the ones with chicken. Inarizushi is pretty good though.

I like sushi a bit, but I'm having to teach myself to eat it. My mother instilled a firm belief in me that since we're in the midwest, all fish here is old/tainted/not fresh, so I'm trying to overcome that. Especially since we don't have seafood, period, all that often, and when we do it's always cooked.

I don't care either way with sushi. Usually, it's my friends who go out of their way to get it. Then, it's just a choice of food to eat whenever we're watching movies or anime.

I hate popcorn, so I go for the sushi by default.

I like sushi, I like seafood generally, but it's FAR from being even close to my favourite food.
It's also VERY expensive where I live with sushi, and as I am that kind of person that eat LOADS I never order sushi wherever I am.
Occasionaly I make them, but I often switch over to making Kimbab instead if I want that kind of food.

Anything that moves, is edible. Some may be poisonous, but who said, that good chef can't get rid of it? I eat any meat, that is served.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion".

I, like many others have said, LOVE seafood. I grew up on the east coast in the US and was always near the ocean until recently. Ever since I was a wee little Dev, my favorite food has been seafood. I'm pretty landlocked now, but where I'm at, sushi is very popular and there are restaurants for it everywhere - even the grocery stores all have a sushi bar now. Which is awesome because my love of seafood definitely translates into a love for sushi. It's the cheapest and tastiest seafood I can get in this dry state.

I think the only reason anime would affect my desire to have sushi is because when I watch the characters eat it, it reminds me how much I like it and then I want to go buy some. But I like it regardless of anime, not because of it.

I absolutely hate sushi. I'm no fan of seafood, despite growing up with it due to my Asian culture. It bothers me that everyone seems so obsessed with it though. Especially anime watchers. Though I've seen that people in general are obsessed with it. I think it's just because it's from Japan... okay then. xD

But what bothers me even more than the fact that everyone "loves" sushi is that they always call sashimi, kimbap, and maki rolls "sushi" as well. I mean, come on, really?

not really amongst the list of fave foods, but it's not bad. :P since we have rice as staple food, eating sushi isn't a big deal as long as the seafood meat is cooked.

didn't really care for the cooked/warm version either.

What's funny is, Sushi is actually rarely mentioned in anime. I see Ramen, Nabe, Onigiri and Soba Noodles mentioned far more, but know of very few otaku who have actually eaten them, well sans Ramen.

It's essentially impossible to say sushi as a whole is bad, simply because there are so many different kinds. In general, I like a bunch of different kinds, and dislike a bunch.

You should really get around to sample as many as possible before writing it off.

Indeed, wasabi is delicious.

Sushi, too, is delicious, but I've noticed that your average weeaboo who wants to try it has no idea what they're getting themselves into so they order the salmon or something and gag on its strange, rubbery texture, when instead they should just start with spicy tuna tempura or unagi (eel) on their sushi, which is tasty as fuck and should induce no gagging sensations whatsoever. Even if they go about it the hard way, though, if people end up exposing themselves to foreign foods and acquiring new tastes I think that's only a good thing in the end. I enjoy food from everywhere in the world. Seriously. I'll eat fucking anything as long as it's healthy and tastes good. (Well, I might skip stuff like brains, intestines, and insects, but you get the idea...)

I enjoy sushi.
It is in fact one of my favorite foods and I don't like it because I like anime and manga.
I have respect for Japanese culture, but even if it wasn't Japanese, I would still love it.But it does bother me too when people claim they like something Japanese, when they only like it because they like anime.

I don't think the fondness for anime should have anything to do with liking Japanese food.
I am Asian and my mother cooks real Chinese and Vietnamese food for me, so maybe that is why I enjoy it so much.
And I normally do not eat very salty or sugary foods, so I truly do enjoy the flavor of fish, rice, and seaweed by itself as opposed to having a lot of seasoning.
Sometimes I even eat just plain seaweed paper and rice paper(used for springrolls) as a snack.
I suppose it's because I have that type of taste for food that I enjoy it.
And as for the soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi sides:
I am asian, hence I love soy sauce.
I love sour things, hence I love pickled ginger.
I like the unique 'quick spicyness' of wasabi, hence wasabi is the bomb!
