Quote:
Decades before Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away became the first anime film to win an American Academy Award in 2001, science fiction fans in the United States were discovering that anime was much bigger than the Speed Racer and Robotech of Saturday morning cartoons.

Like others in this subculture, Neil Nadelman and his high school friends in Connecticut thrived on grainy VHS tapes of ‘80s-era anime, such as Macross, Zeta Gundam and Dragon Ball—even though they had no clue what the colorfully coiffed, wide-eyed characters were saying.

And article I somehow linked by accident despite not knowingly even going to see the page:

I have absolutely no idea how the link I thought I copied became that one! Fixed it now (and left the original wrong link in).

And now I find myself reading the link I posted by accident and discovering Man-Faye.

Ah now I know how it happened, if you scroll down to the bottom of a story it loads the next story and changes the URL in the address bar. I guess that was the next story.
