Obsously goes for non japan users

I wonder if many of you anime lovers would actuay which you were born in japan, had japanese blood, ect. Do you think you would feel more connected with anime? Or are you happy on what nationality you are?

I myself im happy were i was born, but i know quite some people that are kinda obsesses with japan, and tbh those people creep me out

Not really, I'm fine as I am. I wish I could temporarily change my appearance (like mystique, but without the whole blue spiky body) so that I could experience what it's like to be different kinds of people for a while.

Not really.
Sure it would be cool to visit Japan as a tourist or even live there for a while just for the experience, but there are things about Japan that I really can't bear. Like japanese etiquette or how they dedicate their life to work.
And I like to be tall, so no. I don't need to be japanese to enojy anime.

Not really wished, or even want to but i'm sure almost everyone has thought of being another race. Not just your own train of thought, but influence I have definitely T charted the differences in different cultures and backgrounds,

No I didnt. I did wish id be another species for some time tough. Like some alien species. No point in being just another human race, especially with Globalization nothing much would change its too boring.

I don't want to sound like date or anything, but most of the shows we watch are late night shows. That alone can tell you how mainstream anime is over there >.>

As much as I love anime, it's but an interest and hobby. I'm sure understanding Japanese would make watching it infinitely more convenient, but I wouldn't want to be Japanese just because of it. Not to say I'd dislike being Japanese if I was, but I'm not and I won't worry over what can't be helped.

A lot of the time I wish I grew up in Japan, I've always had a love for writing and animation, but there's not much in terms of good cell animation in the US. If I lived in Japan I'd at least have a chance at getting into the animation business.

If Japanese people looked like they do in anime then I would wish I was Japanese and lived in Japan.

No. But I wish I was a little wolf inside a girl.
So I can eat a sunshine pie, and dance with peanuts butterfly. Then I would met a golden swan who is a prince, and I would be a sailor and met bluebird and mermaids riding whales.
It would be so much fun.
