Fandom lives and dies on its ability to express itself. Fans of anime are always looking for items to demonstrate their love of the art form. especially if it is something that has some sort of personal attachment, such as Robotech for those that came of age in the 1980s or Pokemon for more recent devotees.
Anime shirts help in this as they clearly identify fans of the art form. While mosre casual fans go for the more popular titles otaku pride themselves on finding the more obscure anime, with status defined by the better quality shirts a person has; a true otaku has shirts with actual kanji on it, making shirts from Japan especially valuable. Combined with the right accessories, such as phone charms and hats, this makes an anime fan easy to recognize by their love for the art form.
