    PURE INCONTROVERTIBLE TRUTH

    i like how many people think anime is some kind of cult subculture in japan like it is elsewhere

    it's not, anime is one of the major, if the THE major, mainstream entertainment in japan, you are thought as weird if you don't watch any anime, like if you don't watch any tv shows in the u.s.

    consider the source, right? if not owning a hello kitty vibrator or dressing up like my favorite cartoons as an adult are signs of being weird, spank my ass and call me a freak baby.
