there is nothing wrong with enjoying another culture. And knowing another language can be beneficial to you in the future. Maybe you were Japanese in another life. Of maybe you just love the culture. I lived there for a few years and I think most of the culture is great also. enjoy and don't worry about it.

I just want to say that I love singitoutloudandclear's and gothhick's answers! Yes, you probably were Japanese in a previous life!
By the way, I'm really jealous of you because you speak fluent Japanese just from watching Anime!?!? I'm Japanese. I've seen many Hollywood movies but speak broken English....
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with being obsessed with the Japanese culture. It's a great advantage to speak fluent Japanese, and you'll find a good job here in Japan or other countries.
Keep enjoying the Japanese culture and Anime!

I used to live in Japan. I loved it there. If you are so obsessed with the culture, and you speak Japanese, You may want to consider moving there in order to become an English tutor. You can make a lot of money by teaching Japanese business men English.

I love Japanese culture too! I don't know if it is wrong. I don't like Japanese culture because of the Anime. I dig Manga though. I think Japanese men are so hot!

I don't think patriotism is an issue here. Just enjoy what you enjoy. But, there are some criteria for determining whether an obsession is a problem. Moderation is a key to happiness in life.
