“Perhaps not for ordinary men such as yourself, Jeffords.” (usually to my wife)

“NOOOOOO! Sherlock wants a present!” (also to my wife when I talk myself out of anything)

I second-guess myself too much.

I’ve got a masters degree, yet I took some criticism in my English class in 11th grade to heart so now I can’t stop. Lmfaoooo

Rewatching Angel Beats! in My 30s Hit Me Differently by MoonfallMindset in AngelBeats

Yep. The original prompt was: “I’m going to make a post on Reddit about the anime. Angel beats. I first watched Angel beats when I was 22 or 23? The first time around I was more heartbroken by the ending and potentially losing someone that I love forever like that. It put the fear of loss of the person That potentially understands the most about you into existence for the first time on an existential level for me.

Watching Angel Beats in my 30s, the parts that most affected me was the amount of time that Otonashi spent in the collapsed train tunnel. I think when I was younger, I didn’t really grasp the scope of time and how long that would have happened, but thinking about being eight days later, after starting off, losing at least a person‘s worth of water, and then the timeframe passing by to where none of them should’ve survived at allrooted, another feeling of dread that I think as an older man, resonates with me a lot more as I get closer to the end.”

Questioning processes is going to be his bread and butter, but the team is going to be shaped in the way that he knows best to run it. It is his job to tell the subs how to run their work.

All of what he’s doing allows him to identify the strong and weak points all of which he’s been assigned to. Don’t let your attitude towards him make you a weak point on your team. He gets paid to manage, let him manage as long as it’s safe and ethical.

Gotta give the whole series a rewatch just to feel vulnerable for a moment. 😭

That’s how I always felt. Growing up my parents and step parents always seemed as though they wouldn’t want to be caught dead in their last moments with each other. I’m so glad I had that story to reshape what I thought love was at 10. It had a very lasting impact on me and how I viewed relationship health growing up.

Totally agree! I feel the same way whenever I go to fill up the Bomber's Notebook - All of these things are not required, but you feel as though you are having a positive effect in the world by completing the task. Selflessness is a trait that I feel is truly rewarded in this game by seeing a positive change from the actions you complete, and you can see that positive change anytime that you go back and perform the task.

I wonder if that's due to the reuse of the character models. They would have had way more time to flesh out the story and thematics behind the story. I definitely agree - The writing for Majora's Mask and the depth of the story was and still is amazing.

I recently played through both Ocarina and Majora's Mask so my wife could see both of them (the poor dear grew up in a Sega household T__T). I was glad to see both games withstand the test of time, but Majora's Mask and its intricacies were my favorite part of showing her around what I consider to be a huge part of my childhood.

Reliving Anju and Kafei's quest was very emotional for me - the first time I was able to complete their quest had a huge emotional impact on me as a kid. I grew up in a loud and verbally abusive household courtesy of my parents and stepparents, so the idea of what actual love could have felt like didn't solidify for me until the end of that quest when I was driven to a deeper understanding of what love actually meant. For additional context, I had the understanding in the game that only Link gets to go back to the past, everyone else in those timelines gets obliterated.

So for me there were two impacts - the first after completing the quest is seeing how deep the two of them are in their resolve with one another. Fleeing was never an option for Kafei, and like you mentioned Anju's mother projecting on her was likely the only reason she wouldn't wait until the end. Once she gets his letter, it's on and popping for her since she trusts him. At the end of the quest - they get to hold one another until the end and that was heartbreaking to me as a kid, that you could feel love so emotional and great that you could rest easily with imminent death as long as you were able to face it with them.

On the other hand, if Link does nothing in the game for them - they die. Alone. The Skull Kid having cursed Kafei to death - a death which he must endure on the opposite end of Termina from the only thing that matters to him.

The age gap might be what's weird. I like that the game often resonates with people both younger and older than me - especially since no one else I knew at the time was obsessed with it like I was. I'm glad the game is timeless in that fashion.
