Not really. I know a few things from watching a ton of anime if that counts.

[justbeingknife]

...You watch anime?

[ That was the most important detail here, clearly. He simply could not wrap his brain around gaijins wait no gaikokujin watching Japanese cartoon shows. ]

[morphogenia]

Yes? I'm sorry if that makes me a poser or something, but so many series/movies are too beautiful for words and should be appreciated by everyone!!!!!!!

frantically files off serial numbers

[justbeingknife]

No, it's... I'm just surprised, is all.

[ But was he going to miss this chance to ask about this subject that Kamala apparently felt so strongly about? Huh-uh. ]

So which ones do ya like best? Not that I would've heard of most of 'em. I remember there was this soccer one that was real popular. Captain T------, somethin' like that?

[morphogenia]

Everything after the 90s so you probably don't know about it, but I totally know what you're talking about! Captain Tsubasa, right??? Oh! I just remembered one you might have heard of. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind???? That was so so good. FYI the guy who directed it is going to make EVEN BETTER movies after that one so keep following him in the news!!! And watch everything he makes. He literally only gets better with age.

Okay so type wise I'm really into magical girl or shonen stuff since I love action and great drama.

[justbeingknife]

Valley of the what now? Great drama?

I remember watchin' Space Battleship Yamato on TV. You ever seen it? I liked that one. Didn't really get why they ain't use the Wave Motion Gun more, but now I kinda do.

[morphogenia]

Wind! You know stories with a lot of feelings???

AND OMG YES WHAT A CLASSIC. I haven't seen all the movies or remakes, but I caught some of the original on a streaming site and LOVED it. Oh and why??? Is that spoilers???

[justbeingknife]

It's totally spoilers. I won't tell ya what happens; you're just gonna have to find out for yourself when ya get back.

You know what I never got, though, was how come they never made Black Jack into an anime. If I had to have a guy operate on me, that's the kinda doctor I'd want.

[morphogenia]

FINEEEEEE.

Idk probably money. That's why most things don't get turned into anime I think! It's sad. :(

[justbeingknife]

Well, I woulda watched it.

You know, that Tezuka guy, he used to be a doctor before he drew manga.

[morphogenia]

No way! That's super cool.

[justbeingknife]

Yeah, that's how come his medical illustrations're so detailed.

...'course, it's probably also why he wrote that manga in the first place. You know much about it?

[morphogenia]

Not really! It's just one of those series you know about from pop.... WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED AN ANIME IS GOING TO EXIST IN 1994.

Uh... spoilers for your possible future? Heh.

[justbeingknife]

Hey, so all I gotta do is wait 6 years? I can do that.

Kinda handy havin' folks from the future around. Case in point.

[morphogenia]

As long as you don't mind spoilers for the possible future, I'm happy to let you know about stuff!!!

[justbeingknife]

Huh? Hey, sure, although I ain't have a lot of time to keep up with shows these days.

Actually, you ever watched Initial D? Kinda curious what happens at the end of it.
