Having a child who watches anime and is a Chaotic, Bakugan, and Pokemon card playing kid, I know how popular and widespread it has gotten. I never realized this about anime movies though. On a sidenote, I grew up watching Transformers and Speedracer, is Speedracer from Japan?
Moving beyond anime, the way the post war era was presented with lots or electronics is impressive. I hear my grandparents talk about the first TV they saw and what it took to buy one. Along with the 45s, VHS, 8tracks, and cassettes. Now technology moves so fast to buy the next generation of gadgets is really not that impressive, it'll be outdated the second its home. Total tangent, I was trying to conclude that the post war era of gadgets and gizmos was not only a US thing, apparently, but is worldwide? Plus, the idea is having a washing machine/dryer in one appliance is very space friendly. I like that idea. I know he also mentioned the move into very small apartments, how small are they?
