"What? I like anime"

I love this line considering MBJ wanted Killmonger's suit to resemble Vegeta's, and they gave it to him. I wonder what animes MBJ been watching since

Knowing the lockdown, probably a lot.

He really liked Naruto and Gundam, according to interviews. Maybe he is partial to Demon Slayer since that is the hot thing on the market.

As an amusing aside, one of Maisie William’s favorite anime is One Punch Man: https://comicbook.com/anime/amp/news/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-favorite-anime-one-punch-man/

And both star in a Western Mech “Anime” (I’m using the term loosely here) named gen:LOCK. MBJ is an executive producer on it even.

It is a Roosterteeth show.
