Well, I'm not American, but animes are quite popular here in our country. It is just so unfortunate that our seiyuu industry is not as flourishing as yours, and our voice actors usually do Asian dramas or something like that.

Speaking for myself, I find anime as a very versatile genre ("you can put anything into an anime, from everyday life to the works of Karl Marx") and has more profound lessons than anything I have ever seen. I would say "anime is the soul of the Japanese bared for all the world to see".

Anyways, I am asking you some questions about yourself and Japan, but I guess I'll send you a Private Message for that.

But here is one in my mind: Can foreigners adapt a Japanese alias while in Japan, especially if his given name is incredibly difficult or offensive to spell or pronounce in Japanese, and provided he stays there for a long time?

声優がドラマ・・・ですか?
吹き替えでしょうか?

今は時間がないので、あとで頑張って翻訳して返事をしたいと思います。
