Well, I certainly was a kid who didn't swear. That was probably the thing here I could associate with. Seriously, kids really did swear when they were young, remember? I guess the animation could be better, but it's still wonderful. We at least know what it's like to grow up around odd people. A pity I had problems making friends.
Seriously, this isn't about me, it's about you, I think. It's easy to at least imagine people like that. I didn't collect pokemon cards, though. I think there's even fewer fans of that then there are fans of the anime nowadays. The voice work was great too
