Saw that post saying Anime NYC’s turnout signals a new era of geek fandom. Hmm, not buying that one bit. Johnny Silverhand’s been a fan favorite since Cyberpunk dropped years back. Gear 5 Luffy? That arc broke the internet ages ago. Ram and Rem? Re:Zero’s been a staple for over a decade. We’ve been geeking out over these characters and gathering at cons long before this one existed. This isn’t a new era. It’s just our crew getting bigger, that’s all. Got my earl grey steaming beside me while I type this, by the way.
