More and more high profile athletes are displaying their love of anime.

      I’m actually glad to see people being more accepting. Anime needs some more “normal” fans outside of Japan.

      Sadly, there’s a reason people thought it was weird and bullied the Naruto-running nerds. Now, more and more people are liking it. That means it’s more socially acceptable and there should be less bullying. At least, that’s my hope.

        I mean, the people wearing the Naruto headbands and stuff like they’re normal clothes probably should still be bullied a little bit. Maybe not as far as back in my day, but definitely don’t be encouraging that. I like anime but that’s not normal nor should it be normal. Its like chuuni disease for non-Japanese middleschoolers that are in high school or something, stop it.

        But I also am happy to see it is less looked down on, like gaming.
