Exactly. But not only that, Sane, is English speaking, from Australia, but it is a country which is very far from US and Europe, hence less influenced by their cultural sphere and more easily influenced by Asia, which is relatively closer. He/she also watches more Asian movies in general.
I also think that Brazil's distance from Europe and the US made the country relatively more open to Asian pop culture. Fact is that when I was growing up Brazilian kids TV was 2/3 Japanese TV series (animated and live action) and significant amounts of Jap movies (like all Godzilla movies dubbed in Portuguese ). I think that partly explains my fascination with Japanese pop culture.
