This is a phase where a person gets themselves hooked up, nay, OBSESSED with anime, its big sister, manga, perhaps along with some other aspects of Japanese pop culture (ie. pop music, light novels). Some signs of it are:
1. Drawing in an anime/manga art style
2. Listening to anime/J-Pop songs, usually with little to no knowledge of Japanese
3. Viewing anime pictures in one's spare time
4. Writing anime fanfics (as are some teenagers wont to do)
Usually this phase happens in one's teens, but there are some people who are still into anime, as much there are older people who would get themselves hooked up into anime!
There are lots of crazy things that I'll let Peter get away with. I even held my tongue when he went through that anime phase!
