The researchers were all so knowledgeable about anime! It was amazing how they joined in when I talked about my favorite characters. And when I sang my favorite song, they waved their lights—so heartwarming!
It was so fun just watching everyone perform their otaku dance moves on stage! Even when I wasn’t singing, I never felt bored.
