If it's for Miku it's worth the suffering. Hopefully Washington D.C. isn't a terrible place for the whole day and a half I'll be there.

Generally speaking, nobody knows anything about anything in the Western anime community, least of all about otaku. It's the final frontier that even the most long-time viewers and experts are often clueless about (Jonathan Clements might as well have started watching anime last year for all he knows about the topic), and there isn't much interest in it either (English language publications on the topic would be slim pickings without Galbraith). OreImo has interesting and educational things to say about otaku, and is very explicit about it, but I'm not sure if I've ever seen people mention it. They'll argue about Best Girl or the ending, and that's about it. But that's at least a big step above what most people do: vehemently denounce the show because it's "otaku pandering" and "moeshit" and "the cancer killing anime."

A site like ANN would be in a good position to talk about all the things people don't even realize they should know about, but I don't think they are much better informed than their readers. There's a lack of expertise and curiosity all around.

>What's up with the vocaloid?
There's two kinds of people in this world: those with leeks and those without leeks. Miku can do whatever she wants, even if it means violating the time-space continuum.
