Was younger uh anime was not as popular in the United States um it was considered very like uh taboo or very odd uh when I was younger but now like it’s more common and more culturally uh accepted uh definitely there’s a lot of people even in their 20s and 30s that

Watch anime nowadays which was not definitely a thing when I was a kid I see so I’m so happy that you love like Japanese like sub cultures mhm yeah yeah it’s been great like yesterday we even went to Disney C uh oh Disney C how is
