Yes, I live in Tennessee, and there is an anime convention every year called MTAC (Middle Tennessee Anime Convention). Many universities also have anime clubs. My brother went to Vanderbilt University and was the president of the anime club! ^^ In America, Bleach and Naruto are probably the most widely popular. They show regularly on television but with English dubbing. But, for hardcore anime fans, shows like Evangelion and Full Metal Alchemist are popular. Also, most of the more avid anime fans will not watch dubbed anime. They want to watch anime in Japanese with English subtitles (the Japanese voice actors are much much better!).

>It is easy to find anime conventions in any state. えっ、本当に！?どの州でも？初めて聞きました～。 Oh, really！?Any state?　I have never heard that before yet. いいですね～。 That's cool. どんなアニメが流行っているんですか？ ポケモンとか？ What kind of anime is popluar in America?　Pokemon or something like that?

Anime has a sort of cult following in America. It is easy to find anime conventions in any state. At these conventions, anime fans meet, dress up as anime characters, watch anime, etc. Sushi is also incredibly popular in America. There are many Japanese restaurants that serve Japanese food like: sushi, sashimi, tempura, sukiyakidon, etc. It is considered 'cool' and/or 'chic' to eat sushi, especially in big cities. Green tea has gained massive popularity among health-conscious Americans as well. It is marketed for its high content of anti-oxidants. I <3 Japan! ^-^
