Here’s something that occurred to me the other day when I was stumbling as usual through the fiction-writing process: speculative slice of life anime and manga, even those with some emphasis on festivals, rarely include an event analogous to Christmas as manifest in the United States. This is not to say that gifts aren’t given and received in fantastical and science-fictional slice of life franchises — they are, and pretty commonly — but few such franchises seem to present a holiday whose focus or impetus is the giving and receiving of gifts.

- Protip: next time you play through Final Fantasy 6, imagine Kefka with the voice of @TheSpoonyOne's Dr. Insano. It's transcendent.
- @animealmanac Yeah, I'm not trying to say that isn't going to be a consideration for Funi at all. Just that there's a pre-Handley precedent.
- @animealmanac At any rate I agree with you that it doesn't matter in the long run; people who want it uncensored will find it uncensored.
- @animealmanac The thing is, censoring of US releases isn't exactly new, is it? Even minus Handley this isn't totally unexpected.
