What's the most anime thing you've seen in public.

So I thought it would be fun, in light of me remembering this just now and laughing, to see if you also have a funny moment to share.

I was driving through my neighborhood in summer and saw these two teens Naruto running into this house wearing full on headbands and Uchiha capes. Boy I wish I had caught them a little further from the house. Quite the display indeed. Was it purely for a laugh or was it super cereal? We'll never know. But I'll never forget.

So how's about you duders? Obviously you would see stuff like that at a con or whatever but I'm talking just mega random occurrence. Oh, I also saw a car with waifu's plastered all over it. I suspect you may have too haha.

*This popped into my head because of a funny Naruto run gag in Aquaman 2. Maybe the thing I enjoyed most about the whole flick.

I'm pretty sure I was the most anime thing someone else saw in public. One year, during a 4th of July firework show at a public park, me and some friends had a Dragon Ball fight where we timed the attacks in order to use the fireworks as sound effects.

@brian_: If you have video of that you should send it to the community team. That's making the spotlight for sure!

Also, were there any costumes involved?

@spacemanspiff00: No video or costumes, unfortunately. I was like 12 or 13 at the time. So, almost 20 years ago. It wasn't something we planned or organized or anything like that. Just a bunch of stupid kids playing around and probably annoying everyone else around us.

@brian_: As a big DBZ fan, who might have been the same age as you then, I would have at least cheered, maybe joined. I don't quite remember where my hormones were at then.

I was in primo 2001-2005 elementary/primary school territory when anime was kind of mainstream popular post-Pokemon so I saw DBZ and various other anime themed button-up shirts along with kids re-enacting and talking about scenes from DBZ constantly during recess. Also, shirts with various JDM cars and like, samurai swords and stuff? It was a weird time.

Silk Goku shirts

The best

I think I saw an ahegao hoodie once.

Those people should be locked up, because they're probably sex offenders

@eccentrix:I can't say what type of confidence one must have to step out like that.

@sombre I can't go super saiyan. But I can super saiyan shirt this bitch.

@ben_h: Next time I see my cousins kids I will have to ask them how much this stuff has permeated on their playgrounds. It must be worse, right? Unless anime managed to pass over huge swaths of gen z.

Fennec foxes. Straight-up manga animals. There's no way those things are real.

Oh man, once saw a guy practicing Kamehameha in a grocery store. Guess he needed groceries the Saiyan way!

Many years ago some buddies of mine were trying to get me to go to the pub but I was broke. I took out my wallet to open it and demonstrate that I had no money, and when I opened it in front of them an actual moth flew out, did a few loops and flew away.
