I converted the majority of my middle school to admit they liked anime
It was right after Naruto came out, you know, when it didn't suck as badly, so a butt load of people at school watched/liked it but they were afraid to admit it.
well, I was hated by everyone cuz I was in the "nerd" group, but meh. Didn't stop me from listening to J-pop/Rock at school and bringing my Naruto manga to school.
First reactions I would get from evrybody was "that's gay", "that's stupid", and "what the hell, you watch that shit?".
after about a week you could see the same people bringing manga to school and stuff
