maybe you should turn this into a poll to really find out...
and uhh terming people as freaks as in crazy isn't really enticing if you must know... and i don't think that most of the people here are the so called freaks that you so say... i mean take me for example.. i don't own a single manga or dvd of an anime.. heck you might think i hate anime.. but i do watch it and have series compiled on my comp...
oh yeah to answer your question.. im asian... but live in canada (west) so i don't know where wil you put me into..  _________________

I think your stereotyping there a bit . I do have my own little collection of animes like Ninja Scroll , Patlabor movies , Macross Plus , and some downloaded series of naruto in my comp and thats about it but not to the point that im a freak. I mean i do consider myself as an anime fan but i dont have the obsession that i collect every DVD series of anime. To tell you the truth i have a caucasian friend thats buying/collecting DVD box sets to collect whole series lol and even going to the point of assembling gundam stuff , like painting it and brushing it up lol. So i think it is more of the caucasian people who are more interested about it than the asians.
And as for your other question , i am also asian and living in canada(west) |

| im Chinese, living in Sydney, Australia. i dont spend my money on anime or manga. i do own Cowboy Bebop on DVD but i would never have bought it with the benefit of hindsight. im currently in the middle of watching 4 anime series not including Paradise Kiss which i havent touched in about a month (i still plan to finish it though). not reading any mangas at the moment except Girl Saurus when im really bored. but interested in the Akira manga if i can download it. |

Hmmm....well..I guess I'm as western as a person can get......
Hmmm...yeah....the tearm otaku is prefered by most western anime fans (and apparently Jap anime fans think they are cool, and vice versa for western ones~odd that).............
As for other ppl talking about not being freeks because they dont buy the stuff...well it depends realy......I myself...if I had the moeny...would own a lot of "fan" stuff.......but then again....most western geeks tend to be collectors......
Meh...anyways...to sum this all up~ I'm a westerner, I dont concider myself an anime freek, but an otaku in training....although I wouldnt want to live the life of social outcast that most Otaku do...... |

Ah, that, I wonder...

i don't mind about adding a poll
but thanks for the idea, me myself didn't think about it.
sorry if some you didn't understand about what i mean.
and the term crazy / freak, i think that because people that like to watch anime like my friends usually got called anime freak. because he got all the series of the animes like gundam seed + the action figure and he got all action figure completed also so my school friends say that he is anime freak.
i am very sorry for some of you that got any offense from this. because my english is not perfect and also i don't know the difference between otaku and freak, i think that it is the same.??
by the way thanks for telling me about this.
i only asking that are you western / asian??
by the origins not by where do you live.
by the way i am asian too and born in Indonesia.
me myself also crazy about animes, because i collected many whole series of animes like love hina , maburaho , school rumble , gundam seed, gundam seed destiny, full metal panic fummoffu and the second raid, suzuka, mahou sensei negima, mahoromatic. and aoi yorishi + the enishi also. |
