I was trained out of my anime phase by an ex boyfriend, but I used to be head-over-heels obsessed...
I still secretly read some online manga as a guilty pleasure 
I liked anime both for the reasons everyone likes it, and also because it basically taught me facial expressions and body language haha.
Of course I had to get over my phase of imitating the movements/expressions used in anime, because they come from a cartoon and look terribly silly in real life...

Yeah I agree so how did you hear of them? They seem to be over shadowed by the more stereotypical mythical creatures.
I tend to study myths, legends, and hauntings.

I'd heard of them briefly in short stories when I was young (I'm a big fan of scary stories/horror/gore, though when I was little my thing was werewolves).
I didn't really get into wendigos until I took a comp lit class, and the final project was to do a whatever-the-hell-we-want creative project. I wrote a series of short stories about monsters. I researched to find monsters that were both interesting/had potential for horror, and weren't normally written about (ie: I shied away from vampires, and that sort of stuff, though of course I had to write about werewolves).
I wrote a story about a werewolf, another about bloody bones (one I'd never heard of; british boogie man), a lamia, and a wendigo.
We had to read our projects aloud, so I pretty thoroughly freaked out my class because I wrote incredibly gorey short stories haha. But I got an A, so eff them.

Apparently. When I told people about my project I always had to explain what they were. No one else had heard of them

Exactly
My wendigo story was about a young couple trapped in the snow on a mountain and starving to death, and eventually one of them goes crazy and eats the other, and by the time he's done he's become a wendigo.

The Wendigo legend was told as a warning of what lurked in the snowy hills/forest and to teach young ones to bring supplies and not eat one and other.
The Wendigo is known to sometimes before attacking to chase his prey into insanity constantly howling and moaning in the forest and throwing things towards the hunted. After the prey has gone insane and starts waste all his/her ammo and energy he prowls out after conjuring a nasty Ice storm and eats the person alive.
Some have also gained the abilities of a shaman not known if it was a shaman before it became a wendigo or after many years of living in nature it learned of spirits.

I like the wendigo myths where the actual wendigo is clumsy and kind of zombie-like, sort of an embodiment of frost bite and the bodily effects of cold and starvation.
I think it's interesting that it's thought that if one turns to cannibalism for any reason (like extreme starvation, even if the person eaten was already dead) it creates a wendigo. I suppose it's one way of effectively discouraging last-resort cannibalism

The legends are so old that they tend to mutate depending on the area or who is telling it.
