Very true, kitler53.  My sister's a die-hard Francophile; I don't understand that, either.

but really, i love a lot of Japanese media which isn't to say i love it because it's Japanese. i love any art that is good regardless of it's history and the Japanese have plenty of good games/shows to be excited about.

Perhaps you like Japanese media on its own merits, but I think there are many others who like Japanese stuff because it's the cool thing to do.  I remember seeing a picture of some Ayumi Hamasaki album, but the album cover was shopped to read "The Same Top 40 Pop Shit You Hear on the Radio but in Japanese So You Can Feel Superior."

I don't deny that there are people like you who genuinely like Japanese media.  If you truly do, then more power to you.  Hey, I freely admit to loving Enka.  But J-pop?  Thank you, no.  I'll be over there listening to Led Zeppelin (whom I like for their music, not because they're British).
