Are you serious? Would you think pic related is an example of native Japanese dress and culture?
Not mentioning that their characters are already white looking, they constantly use European settings, myths, and tropes in their media. At least for me part of the reason I got into chinese cartoons was because they latch on to the interesting bits of our culture and repackage them in creative ways. In many ways it seems like they do a better job at telling those stories than white people. Western storytelling in general has gotten pretty bad, we've gotten away from things that are cerebraly interesting or just fun and have replaced them with terrible character development, stories that take themselves too seriously, "deep" plot, and gritty two bit dramas. I can't really think of any modern literature for instance that I've enjoyed that hasn't been targeted at kids, it feels like western writers are trying too hard to be intellectual and forgot stories are supposed to be enjoyed.

You should see the popularity of Baseball in Japan if you think we're obsessive with anime.

Its the only country outside usa where baseball is popular

I'm not even sure what you're trying to imply.
Originally its because you like cartoons but none of them deal with adult issues because there is a perception in the west that animated features targeted at adults cannot survive (see Titan:AE targeted a teenage audience despite being a good movie)
If you get into it for that reason you watch the few good ones but, its really a limited supply since most of it is tv-garbage, I imagine a weaboo is the kind of person who learns to lower their standards to watch everything from there rather than the good stuff.

As for japaneese people obsessed with american culture. You know how the Xbox sold far less than the playerstation in Japan?
I imagine the ones there who bought Xbox are viewed a bit as the ones here who watch anime. Instead of playing those japanese-only games they play Call of Duty and American Games and are probably seen as wierdos due to the countries inherent xenophobia.

Everybody likes anime m8
I'm pretty sure one of the biggest demographics of animu fans are filthy Mexicans

It's simply another part of decadence of the western world. Rome 2.0.

They lost their own unique culture to multiculturalism, so they look for the next best culture after white cultures and that's japanese culture.
Notice how so many weeds make japanese stuff a large part of their identity. It's a substitute for their lost cultural identity.
Japan is the 51st State

Japanese are obsessed with Western culture and weaboos are only obsessed over the byproduct of the aforementioned obsession so technically they are obsessed over a Japanese obsession of Western culture not an obsession over Japanese culture which basically means they are obsessed over Western culture
