EX33: No seriously.  We take it personally.  From the pencil hitting the page, to it being rendered to it being checked by the Director, and even beyond that...from designing fashion to making a simply 18 x 24 poster of some waifu, anime and manga is a medium that goes far beyond whats on your favorite streaming service and whats in your weekly manga magazine.  Sen joins me (Som) as we tend to bond over this sort of thing and our feelings for the medium are frighteningly similar.  I am not even sure if we got down to the real reason why it all feels personal to them and I, but maybe some day soon we will.
