~Water flowers every day~
Back in late October I was at a Halloween party with a bunch of people I had never met and I made some sort of offhand reference to One-Punch Man. Immediately, about four people called me on it and launched into a hearty discussion about the show's merits and how it compares to the manga.

These folks were normal, well-adjusted, married working adults. None of them were wearing DBZ Hawaiian silk shirts. None of them were fat stinky neckbeards. None of them felt it necessary to go on tangential rants about Madoka.

What I'm trying to say is, One-Punch Man saved anime's reputation with the normies, and that's really cool.

How many of them said that it's not REALLY anime, it's not like all those others

None of them included any qualifiers or felt it necessary to distance themselves from other works. It was a Halloween miracle.

you should have told them about chihayafuru

I got fairly drunk at that party, so for all I know I did exactly that.
