oh yeah ive finally made an honest to god anime fan out of my dad. turns out hes like me and can slam back 12 episodes in a day 😌 whereas skerples can usually only watch like 3 or 4. anyway he started trigun 98 today and like he only had time to watch 1 ep before leaving but yay :)

edit. realized i've probably never talked about this but this is a big deal for me bc i've been trying to get him into anime for over a decade since he first saw me watching trigun 98 in the living room with my bf at the time and would get entranced and watch chunks of the episodes standing in the doorway but always maintain he just "didn't like anime" bc he didn't "like the artstyle" and go on about how the only good anime he's ever seen was afro samurai and after a lot of pressure i've finally convinced him to watch a few recently (i made him watch the twewy anime with my for my birthday last year, + got him to watch dr. stone bc he really likes engineering and stuff so i thought he'd like it), and he's watched bits and pieces of a few others recently, bc he's been getting sick at night and when me n skerples are watching stuff he'll sit and kinda watch with us. recently he decided on his own to watch demon slayer and LOVED it, and as he was finishing s1 he was like "well. i think i'm an anime fan now. i really want to find more good ones. i'm thinking about trigun next" <3

#he has a bunch of shows other people have reccomended to him naruto dbz one ounch etc #and weve talked about them and like whether he would actually like them (answer is no to all of those ones LOL)#but i am waiting fearfully for the day i have to figure out how to explain to him that like. sn k or something is bad #bc he still really wanted to buy the h*p game bc he was like 'well but shell only get a few pennies so who cares' like sighs.#anyway tho having a lot of fun trying to decide what to show him 🤔#skerples really thinks he should watch fmab and im less sure bc i legit think it might trigger his ptsd.....#he used to not be able to watch anything where a kid dies or with a lot of blood due to it like any slasher or horror stuff was right out #and while anime violence is generally fine for him (actually he really likes it) i do wonder if the context might uh #hit a little closer to home.#anyway more importantly trying to decide if i could get him into mushishi or perhaps death parade.#i think mom would like mushishi but she refuses to give anime a try even when we watch stuff w dad in the living room #she just buries her face in her phone 🙄
