shame that a lot of thought for you isn't much x
No, but I do appreciate Anime's darker/more mature atmosphere.
Japanese culture has always interested me in many ways, anime doesn't add or take away from my appreciation and interest in Japan or it's culture.

Good grief.
More like the opposite. Japanese culture made me appreciate anime.

wouldn't say i was influenced by anime really since i only liked the cute characters from anime never watched anime till fairly recently. and it was all secret so it didn't effect me too much. but they were anime still so yes. made me take a japanese class too so thats something

ok but as a japense person watching an american cartoon, it would make you think about the culture. so yes it would
See, I don't think it should, though. There's a lot more to Japan than cartoons.
Well, your question was "has anime made you appreciate Japanese culture", so to answer it, not really. Anime on its own wouldn't be nearly enough to make me fall in love with Japanese culture. Collectively, perhaps, but not as specific as that.
I wouldn't be in love with Japan, I'd be in love with Japanese animators and writers.

It's like getting interested into a culture after watching a movie or reading a book, or whatever, the interest started somewhere.
I'm sure for some it started after seeing those strange triangle sandwiches in Pokemon
you're thinking about it wrong. the process is
> sees anime, an introduction to culture (the way the characters live, where it's set etc) and finds it inetresting
> explores the culture in depth outside of anime because the anime introduced you to a bit of it
> appreciates it
if you don't know anything about japan, you can't appreciate it. anime is a gateway for a lot of people

more like japanese culture made me appreciate anime. correction: it was a gateway for me to get into anime as a child. (like doraemon, chibi maruko chan, crayon shin chan)
but... i dont really watch anime anymore, its really just a childhood kind of thing for me.
there are people who think japanese culture = anime, ramen, kawaii, pocky, sera fuku, lolita, randoseru
and then there are those who think japanese culture = samurai, ninja, sakura, temples, kimono, geisha/maiko
its always one way or the other so far from everyone i met who says "i love japanese culture"

why wouldn't they? you don't seem very well versed when it comes to that niche of people, but they definitely exist. many people have found a new appreciation for japan. many visit the country because of it and learn more about the culture outside of anime. my friend linda and several others i've met online have done just that and now cares more for japan than its anime.
that's not to say there isn't a darker side of japan that shouldn't be appreciated of course, but the positive parts of the culture are definitely more appreciated by westerners thanks to anime

i can't apply that to everybody who watches anime, but a wide range of people have and continue to

well i can confirm that every non-japanese american around my age that ive ever met who is interested in japanese culture got started with anime/relates japanese culture with anime. the only people who i know who is interested in japanese culture outside of anime sector would be sansei/yonsei japanese americans who want to reconnect with their distant relatives and/or want to move back to japan.
