cognitivedissonance Knee deep in easy but oddly specific anime convention pussy, though.
cognitivedissonance Also, "universal American anime-fan speech mannerisms". They're always there.
memedumpster I hope Japan makes actual money off of making fun of American anime nerds. They could make a whole anime series about them.
Comeuppance Given that there would almost surely be a strong American fanbase that would ironically think that it didn't apply to them, the potential for recursive parody is fantastic.
Redford Kind of like how poetv only likes "Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt".
BHWW Quite a few anime fans lack any self-awareness and their reaction to specific mockery of themselves would be like that of dogs that see their reflections in a mirror and think it's another dog.
Riskbreaker Turns out these guys are selling their songs on itunes. How much brain damage do you need to give these people money?
BHWW Well, being an "otaku" probably helps, by which I mean being the sort of clueless American anime fan who refers to themselves proudly as an "otaku" even though it's not exactly a term of endearment back in Glorious Nippon.
Doomstein Reminds me of the clueless Japanese tourists who used to flood into Texas for vacation in the 80's and 90's dressed like Tom Mix. HOWDY PAHDNULAH!!!
Nikon I am disappointed that many of the otaku-kei bands that play at cons here in America are so bad. It'd be fun to listen to someone rocking the music from, as an example, Megaman 2, but it's not fun if the musicianship just isn't there.
