Despite the lack of obvious evidence, anime fans really are everywhere, its just hard spotting a fellow anime enthusiast in public. Behind all those iPods, mobile devices, and laptops, theres a chance that someone might be watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, or other shows in secret.
The anime fanbase is a difficult one to find publicly. Gamers have their arcades and video game stores, comic geeks and card collectors have their own little communities at various hobby shops, movie fanatics have theatres — but what about the anime fans? Where do we go to get our fix of watching our favourite shows? Depending on where you live, anime might not be as openly accepted as we would like it to be.
Its unfortunate that us anime fans have scarce locations to sit down and watch an episode or two of a series without feeling like we are being looked down upon by the ignorant and judgemental portion of society. Do you care if other people see you watching a certain anime? Here are some methods and places us fans go to indulge in our entertainment.
