After growing up having to explain what anime or manga even was, there's something magical about going to a college party, asking the most mainstream looking girl there if she had watched anything fun recently and having the answer be Jojo's Bizarre Adventure lol
and i mean that sincerely. i have a friend who gets kind of ruffled when something obscure she liked suddenly becomes well known, but when i think about how strange this stuff used to be, idk it puts a smile on face that i live in a world where i can now stumble upon people who like the same things without even trying
