the wall between old and young with anime is interesting. my parents never understood the whole 'anime' and 'main-ga' thing when I was growing up. they still defer to me about pokemon and shit. every year during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade they see the Goku float and ask me if Dragon Ball Z is still going lol.

For them they still have a mild resentment toward Japs whether it was lingering from WWII or the times when they manufactured all our shit. My dad was taken aback that I rented a book about WWII written from a Japanese guy's perspective. Like he borderline took offense to it lol. For us Zoomers it doesn't occur to us that America ever had friction with Japan
