Hmmm....you probably need to do some more research. you're mostly confusing obsession with being a normal fan.
I'll try my best, to help you with the things you written.
Let's start with what you said about the fans
The reason people add words like that to phrases, because they think it will get them closer to Japan, they think that they will be cool with the Japanese crowd, when In reality, the Japanese will look at you, like you just spilled water over a bunch of people, sitting on chairs, yes, that "WTF" look.
You're mixing up liking anime as a Hobby, and being obsessed with it. the guy who wants to marry Mikuru, is obsessed, and will be looked at, like he was shoving Ice cream cones up his nose, yes, that "What A Freak" look. People who like anime as a hobby, will know this is a stupid idea, and won't think of it twice. these are same people who can accept that all animation is the same, whatever country it's produced in.
and now onto the Moe and GAR
You're right, Moe is explained in a Non-sexual way, but in anime fandom, it's different. In anime fandom, it is sexual, and falls under the Obsessed fan. they become to protective with the character, that they start to think sexually about the character, young or old. these are the people you see on forums saying "No, She is mine"
Never heard of GAR, must be some stupid forum thing. but from reading what you wrote, the same thing will apply for the Moe fascination.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the help. I really had to cut down most of the stuff (the Fans had at least 1000 words before, and almost twice as much on the first try) to keep things shorter so the only thing that remained were the stuff I really thought was weird at the time. Kinda makes me feel that I shouldn't be editing anything during 2AM in the morning (night?).
Still, I'll fix it sometime later once I finish posting the whole list. I need to write something for school so I probably won't post anything regarding the list until later.

My Anicrap nominees are filler arc as mentioned and movies that has nothing to do with the storylines (DBZ) and are just made to get more money. Filler arc: YES Anime movies: I think they're alright. There are some that are really good, even though they don't follow the storyline at all (Tree of Might, World's Strongest, Broly 1 and 2). But then there are the movies that are really ODD (Bio-Broly: WTF?). Dead Zone also kinda went with the anime, but not with the manga as the Garlic Jr. Saga after Freeza didn't happen in the manga. Also, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Excellent movie with only the odd change in the Gundams. Still, awesome nonetheless.

Okay, I'll be completely honest: I really don't want to post AniCrap until December. My brain is tired, really, from writing in NaNoWriMo, planning a webcomic with a friend, and seveal other things that involve writing in general. Looking at what I've written last night, I'm pretty much sure that what I finished is really sloppy.
I'm really sorry for the delay, but if Koda has his AniCrap article ready, then he could do the honors of posting the first episode.
