Since she first stepped onto the scene, Megan has been vocal about her love of anime, and has grown more in love with the art as adult. In a 2020 Instagram Live session with Tim Lyu of anime studio Crunchyroll, she said, “Being an adult and watching anime, I really like the storylines. You see a character who might not be the strongest. You grow with that the character…you meet new people along the way as they try to be the hero / become the person they need to be.”
Elsewhere in the chat, she revealed that while she had watched Sailor Moon, she initially couldn’t quite get into it.
“Every time there’s a fight, her boyfriend comes to save the day,” Megan said.
Regardless, she certainly slayed her outfit, and even more so, her performance, which she said received a large positive reaction from her Japanese fans.
“This whole stadium in JAPAN was going UP for me,” Megan said in a tweet. “You can’t fake thee love…im grateful.”
Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. .
