I can afford that, but then my wallet would fee really empty and I really have no room to store it, shame.

John Cena also lists the Fist of the Northstar movie as his favorite animated film.

For one set of interested clients, the signature presumably constitutes much of the item's value. Another set will be deterred completely, unless the ink is somehow removable.

Good heavens! He can't see that.

I agree, I don't know what's wrong with people on this forum whining about celebs liking anime. But I'm glad to see celebs are liking anime. I don't see people complaining about Vin Diesel about being a Dungeon and Dragon fan/player. Where's the complaint about Daniel Craig being a video gamer? Let me show you this chart that involve celebs that are anime fans:



I recalled that Megan Fox is also a anime when I read a article on Cosmogirls magazine online.


Wait, is that legit? If so, I have a sudden liking for Haley Williams and her liking of Digimon. Oh, and i've known Robin Williams to be an anime fan for a while now.

Yeah, HOW DARE KANYE BE AN ANIME FAN

Seriously people, Lighten up! Kanye is a talented man, if an ass (and, admittedly, Stronger is one of his weaker songs). Seriously, lay off it. And Daft Punk are DJs, they sample music, too (hell if it werent for the rise of hip hop in the 70s, Daft Punk would never exist cause turntablism woulda never left New York)

I've also seen that list too. I wonder how much of that is true?

I thought that bike looked too flimsy to be road-worthy. Laughing A 1:1 scale working version would definitely be cool (if even possible), too bad they didn't actually make one.

Kanye listed Love Hina and Golden Boy among some of his faves. That deserves some hardcore props. It's easy to name Death Note or Cowboy Bebop or Gundam, but anyone who will put Love Hina and Golden Boy there has to be respected as being more than just a hipster fan.

Also, LOL at Hulk Hogan's list if that's true. Interestingly, Hogan in the past used to wrestle a more technical style in Japan to suit the country's wrestling tastes. In America, it's just punches and legdrops. As well as atomic-dropping people like Sherri Martel... Laughing

I think it's legit I first found this picture off of Anime Vice. Anime Vice has stated that Zac Efron does read Shonen Jump via a interview link.

Oh, I agreed. I remember reading it somewhere that Lady Gaga could be a anime fan. She did took a special attention to Japan by designing a "Pray for Japan" bracelets after the earthquake/tsunami disasters. Also some of her hair design and her clothes design look likes something out of anime and Final Fantasy.

Also I didn't put this up on my first post, Funimation blog had a interesting article on which celebs could be anime fan. I think it could be Ryan Reynolds. Did you know before Ryan became a movie stars, he was on TV and he used to work with some of our anime VAs before they became VA. I found out he used to work with Lisa Ortiz, Richard Ian Cox, and Mark Hildreth (voice of Heero Yuy in Gundam Wings) on TV. It's possible his former co-workers could have shown him anime and became fascinated with it.

She said as much on Kimmel a couple of years back. She's pretty openly a fangirl in general.

Robin Williams is also a big Oshii fan, as well. (He had a conversation with a friend of mine about GitS back when he was filming Good Will Hunting.)

I don't watch Kimmel, but that's nice to know. Wish I had a clip to see that. Also I wasn't aware you had a friend talking to Robin William over Ghost in the Shell. This topic gets interesting.

I don't get why people hate on Kanye when his tribute to Akira will still be more authentic to the source material than the actual upcoming movie. Rolling Eyes
