That's a bit of an elitist attitude. Not everyone wants to learn it to watch anime you know and not every can be bothered or is able to teach themselves...

What? Learning Japanese to watch anime and manga is probably the most superficial reason for learining it. Some people want to learn it for real reasons for use in the real world... So all the people learning Japanese are doing it so they can watch raw anime and if not they might as well give up?
