Only sometimes...
Other times American gamers are scrubs.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.From my experience, the few Japanese fans I have seen are female, yes. They love Sonic and Shadow, mostly. And the more Japanophilic fans are female too.
Don't really have much else to add here.
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.Aoi Yūki is a very vocal lover of this series as well.

Script differences for Frontiers.
Also yes, it's usually girls who I see interested in Sonic for Japan when looking at pixiv. Sonic usually attracts the Yumejos ((girls who self insert as Amy or Maria and want to be with Sonic and/or Shadow), or the Fujos ((girls who want to see Sonic with Shadow, Silver, or Knuckles).
The Japanese script looks a bit inferior because it gets rid of the mystery or ambiguity. However, the key Word here is looks. Who knows what Kishimoto San has in mind.
We know nothing of the story that far to judge.

I believe it's because Kishimoto is using a different story structure that's affecting the tone of the script. That structure is called Kishotenketsu; in layman's terms it's the difference between driving the scenic route versus taking the shortest route to get from point A to point B; immersion of a subject versus short, sweet and to the point.
If the script looks inferior to you it's likely because you're more used to the principle Show, Don't Tell.

Sorry if I sound like the glasses emoji, I just don't know how to link tropes to my post yet. Long ago I first learned about Kishotenketsu through this site trying to figure out why Anime and western shows were so different and after some deep diving, it kind of made sense. Kishomoto is trying to immerse the player into the game's setting versus Ian's approach with Show, Don't Tell; a cornerstone principle for western style artwork, film and writing. He's also leaning into Classic Sonic's characterization that sees him doing his own thing in spite of his missing friends.
"Classic" as in "Sega Sonic Classic" according to some of these fans at least.
Personally, I find it pretty exciting how they're converting from Ian's script. I feel there's just been this huge disconnect when it comes to Sonic/Anime fans understanding the art of writing for a piece of work versus just translating a piece of work. It's like, Sonic fans finally get to see firsthand that, no, you don't need the full-on literal deep dive into Japanese context to enjoy Sonic. Ian knows how to write an entertaining Sonic story and I think Sonic fans are gonna finally learn that.
EDIT: Are links supposed to be automatic like "Sega Sonic"? I swear I didn't misspell Kishotenketsu so I dunno why it's not linking to the actual trope page.

Certified, self-appointed Sonic VisionaryCorrect. If you have two words together like Two Words(for instance) with no space, it automatically creates a link to a page. It's a common thing that happens for many who don't realize how the wiki's link designs work.
Anyway, I know I'll pick up Frontiers down the line, but it's probably not a high priority for me(like it used to be). Last game I pre-ordered was Unleashed, and I felt underwhelmed by it immensely, which makes me going for used a lot more satisfying. I rarely pre-ordered Sonic games compared to Mario ones at the time, or Zelda ones, so, I guess I just got bad luck in the way I like to play. It happens~
Shadow?

So what you're saying is that Japanese gamers are scrubs.
