okay... so i live in Washington, and this exchange student from japan, Junior in high school (same as me) tells me that in japan, only little kids watch anime! Not only that, she says if there ARE kids in high school that watch anime in japan, they are MOSTLY the dorks or nerds that people dont like to speak to.
is this true?? do the older kids in japan avoid anime?? are teenagers in America at the level of little children in japan!?!?
My friends and i were in denial after hearing this.. we applied ourselves into the situation and said somethign like:
"if a high school girl from america goes to some other country and the kids there ask her if she plays video games (i.e xbox/ps2/GC), she would Most likely say no, only little kids play video games..... but if a teenage Guy went to the same country and got asked the same question, he would probably say something like HECK YES!!"
so....... does anyone have a REAL answer??
