On another site I had a post about how popular anime really is. To make the long version short: I was searching for pics (non-anime), typed in flowers and it came up with several scattered pics of screenshots (anime show clips), and then started typing random words and came up with tons of anime pics on certain pages. It's because the word "flowers" appears on a page where the word "anime" also appears. Simple, yes? But showing that it's becoming even more popular.
So onto the current story. I was wondering if otaku popped up as random as a pic search. Because there are so many people that love it I started thinking about why I never notice people with anime t-shirts, keychains, hats, etc. I always wear my Mokona backpack and a set of kitty ears on my head. Sometimes people acknowledge where they're from and say something but it's kind of rare. Anyway I was at the fabric store the other day and as I was heading back to the cutting table I noticed a girl (she worked there) with a really cute hairstyle. It was back but had long strands just before her ears and her bangs were clumped to the left. It reminded me of Rukia from BLEACH. Naturally I thought I had been watching way to much and had started associating real life with it. But once I got to the table she turned around and said: "Hey cute backpack (Mokona), did you get it at the anime con?" I was a bit surprised but hey it was all cool. It just shows that otaku are everywhere...and they aren't hiding the anime love anymore, yay! heart
