At least they've already stamped their mark on history with Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Ugh, the worst way possible in my opinion. Evangelion was a blight on the rest of the industry, sadly embraced by many artists and fans.

Hands off Anime Club makes so much more sense. TY for the backstory.

The nerd isolation from normality - the otaku-fication may be either a late 80s phenom as a result of pornification and an east coast thing.

In Cali at least the class prez and the sports captain and the D&Der and the kids making Our Star Blazers comic strip fan fiction all overlapped.

We had That One Guy, the fat kid gamma, but he was a bell-end.
