There's one problem I see with the spreading of anime though. Since anime/manga is generally written by Japanese authors for a Japanese audience, some people from other countries may not exactly understand the hidden jokes/puns in them. also, it may be good if some people are willing to go and try to understand the culture by going to look it up later, most people aren't. So many things may go misunderstood or ridiculous(sp?) to the people who are not Japanese.
i.e. in Japan when people commit suicide by throwing themselves off something, they generally take their shoes off. it's a polite, formal way of leaving the world.
also, when Sanosuke in RK is called a rooster, not only does it apply to his appearance, it has another meaning as to 'stupid'
also, many names in naruto are jokes themselves. lol... i remember i couldn't stop laughing for three minutes after hearing that the main character's name was uzumaki naruto, and that his favorite food was ramen.
Well though, all in all I don't see much of a problem otherwise, but I hope that people don't base all of their impressions of Japan and Japanese culture from anime/manga, because sometimes it is hard to interpret.
