One of the more welcome aspects of anime breaking more into general pop culture in the 2010s is the greater amount of publicshowcases of fandom from notable stars in various industries. The kids who grew up with major series like Dragon Ball Z and the Toonami programming block are now growing up and making their way out into the world, and they have taken their love of anime with them. It's been great to see especially considering how being an anime fan used to come with a huge stigma that made it an outlier even from other fandoms.
