Appreciation post: the guy who made fun of my anime marathon pace
Back in March at a local con in Portland, this older fan saw me rushing through a show and told me I was missing the point. He said I was treating episodes like homework instead of letting the quiet scenes breathe. That stuck with me because he was right, I finished 150 episodes that month and barely remembered any of them. Now I watch one or two a night and I actually notice the animation details and soundtrack choices. Has anyone else had a random stranger change how they watch things?
