Minority Mindset

Many anime series from the 1990s were created for a different way of watching than how fans enjoy them now. Back then, episodes were designed to be watched one per week, while today people often prefer to watch multiple episodes at once. Humor and storytelling were also different – jokes didn’t always land the same way, and stories tended to repeat themes more often than modern shows. This makes going back to ’90s anime both fascinating and challenging, as these classics can be harder to get into by today’s standards.

I was really touched reading Jake’s words about his parents. He talked about all the fun times they had – going to musicals with his mom and Dodgers games with his dad – but even with all those happy memories, he just misses them so much. He wrote that he’d give up everything – all those games, shows, vacations – just for one more hour to talk to them and say goodbye. It really struck me how he explained that unless you’re going through something like this with someone you love, it’s hard to understand how awful it is. He said it’s not something you can just move on from, or even forget for a moment, because it’s a pain he and Romy live with every single day.
