Also, "everybody"? No, it's just a slightly larger percentage of nerds

And there's also a difference between liking Akira and Studio Ghibli movies, and wanting to watch a billion episodes of Naruto.

We got the boomer at work to watch some anime, and he is pretty far from being a nerd. It's becoming slightly more mainstream.

Helps that mainstream Hollywood media is complete trash too

Also helps that mainstream Hollywood has been ~~copying~~ taking inspiration from anime for almost half a century.

"Willing to watch" is very different from "watches". You can get most people to watch an episode or two if you frame it well/ to their interests.
