The thing is... Not a lot of Asians here in California are into Anime. Most of the Asians that we get anime from are adults, and older people. I've dated a Chinese girl and a Vietnamese girl and neither of them were into anime. I've been friends with numerous Asian people, varying by Nationality and hobbies. It went from Video games to Neighbors to fellow Bike Riders to school friends. Almost none of them were into Anime.

Where did I get anime from? From all my childhood American friends. It's not that much about Asian's bringing it over, at least here in California. I can't vouch for New York but here in California, anime has already become something for everyone.

It goes back to when I was in 8th grade and one of my friends showed me Ninja Scroll. He was all "I rented this movie from Video 2000, and it's a cartoon, but it has boobies!!!" My response being, "What's it about?" "I don't know, but it has cartoon boobies!!!"

When I saw the cover box I became interested. Next thing you know, I'm ordering the DVD's of X-Tv straight from Japan, because I prefer to watch that over Matrix.
