Michael B. Jordan Loves Anime, and Wants You to Know It

[Lexurite]

Michael B. Jordan’s stellar turn as Black Panther’s complex villain figure Erik Killmonger has the world talking. Sure, they’re talking about how great he is in Black Panther, but they’re also talking about something else: the fact that the young actor loves himself some anime, and is loud and proud about it.

 

In the run up to and eventual wake of Black Panther’s monumental arrival at the box office, you’ve probably seen some viral tweets about Jordan’s love anime—such as his good and true statement that anime is, I quote, “the bestâ€â€”or even how his Killmonger getup from the movie has a passing resemblance to the Saiyan armor worn by Dragon Ball Z’s Vegeta, another favorite of Jordan’s:

Happy to see him grow up to be a superstar though.

Dragon Ball and Naruto it's mainstream... but it's kinda rare to see Hollywood celebrity openly saying that he's into anime 

[curlypoodle]

Sometimes you wonder if these celebrities who like Kpop or anime lurk in the same places onehallyu as the rest of us plebeians

 

I wasn't totally happy with the way Bleach and Naruto ended.... too messy & random with all those power ups :/

[Oodles]

I love him.

A lot of black guys seem to be into shounen anime, if all the black weeaboos on YouTube are any indication. If you thought most weeaboos were pale as fuck... yeah, you're wrong. :P

[Dorkling]

He is so fucking good looking! 

I can't imagine him as a anime lover for some reason LOL.

[PeachyKeys!]

Idrc, all I know is that he is so sexy.

[haeinoppa]
