I'll just be optimistic and hope the OP takes some good advice from here, and will be pleasantly surprised that Japan is so much more than just anime and fandom. Just love it for what it is and have fun. Good luck.

PS, if I were you, I would buy manga and anime goods at a place called Book Off, which is a second hand store (though everything is in good condition.) You can get manga volumes at 100-200 yen a pop (much better than paying 500-1000 yen somewhere else) used video games, movies, CDs, and lots of good stuff like that. I don't consider myself part of the anime fandom at all, but even I still think it's a fun place to browse.

Book-Off is the greatest thing. I don't like anime at all, but for music, games, books, whatever, it's awesome since it's often way cheaper than new, especially if it's older stuff.

Sometimes when a party's winding down, my friends and I go down to the nearest one and play the "who can find the craziest shit for under 300 yen" game. We go in, set a timer for like 15 minutes, then go back and compare. I had the Japanese dub vhs of Batman and Robin, one girl found some horrible smooth jazz cd called SAX APPEAL, and one of our Japanese friends won by a landslide when he brought back some horrid S&M porn mag.. he nearly puked when we opened it up and found a page involving live eels 0_o

but, yeah, Book Off is good times.

that's hilarious! i'll have to remember that game next time i go out with my friends. that's the other cool thing about Book Off... it stays open really late!

of course, it's also a good place for some extra cash... one time my husband and i bicycled over two giant bags worth of books just taking up space... we walked out with 6000yen! Not bad!
