Would you study German if Germany invented anime instead of Japan?

Nein

Considering I learned Japanese because of anime, LNs, manga, and VNs, then yes. I would have probably studied German.

>studying a dying language

I wouldn't watch anime if it was German.

I'd study German if they'd have just won the damn war.

Thirteen years ago, I started learning Japanese so I could play, read, and understand Tsukihime. So if Tsukihime was initially release in German, maybe.

Sure. A lot easier to learn than Japanese at least.
