well for me i wanted to go to japan WAY before i even knew what anime/manga was. as an art major i loved the old school ink drawings and ceramics; that was how i was first introduced to japan.
then little tidbits about the culture and mannerisms intrigued me even more. i found it fasinating how their culture is infused into so many aspects of their life and is reflected in the art.
then i found manga and anime.... and i fell in love. beautiful art and great stories. *sigh*
i'd only want to go there for a week long visit. just to see it with my own eyes.
but on the grand scale, japan is like... 5th on list of places i have to see before i croak. england, france, italy, spain, japan.
