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

I remember when we used to get bullied in school for liking 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.
