Yeah, totally. It's because of anime and manga that I have grown to love Japanese and right now well, to study there language as well. It's pretty awesome! I love it.

Yeah I like anime, Chrno Crusade, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi or Claymore for example^^

Yes, I like it very much. There are just somethings that don't work well for live action films and series and can only be accomplished well in animation.

No, I don't like it. It's not for me.

I only watched Death Note and Elfenlied, both are absolute fantastic ;) don't know about other animes, but i like these really really much. (and i can play the elfenlied theme on piano haha^^)
