#their current-day merch collection is full of rare shit they don't even want anymore ππ

do any of the ros like or watch anime ?
for this answer, i had to finally figure out how accessible anime was in the States in the late 90s/pre-streaming era... so for most of these cast members, they aren't quite into anime yet. luckily, it is fairly obvious to me who this is a 'yes' for π
Kile | a very slow but very steady descent into anime fandom. the type of anime nerd that only other anime nerds would be able to clock before the 2010s. you won't see Kile perusing Hot Topic or Spencer's or wtv in the 00s solely because they've been throwing (tons of) money at authentic Japanese merch and street fashion since the very moment online translators were barely functional enough to facilitate such a thing π
Jack | his dad was an early anime nerd so homeboy was partly raised on anime way before most Americans were π and like with most of his nerdy interests, Jack takes after his one or both of his parents. he's been watching since forever and will continue to do so π he'll be fairly into anime until CrunchyRoll happens. then having easy access to almost any series will quickly take over his life π
Jessie | glimpsed Sailor Moon when it first started airing and enjoys it in private (it's still in early morning syndication at this point and perceived as "kids' cartoons"); she'd need to be reintroduced as an adult but she'd be so into the magical girl genre and a bunch of shoujo and shoujo-ai (and josei if the friend re-introducing her has taste ijs)
R | hell yea. They've demanded their parents pick up any and all VHS titles that even resemble anime since they were little π
it's really easy for me to envision them working at one of those early 00s anime shops at some point during collegeβbefore getting fired for "antagonizing customers" (which they'll refer to as "making simple recommendations to sensitive assholes")
Vi | eventually, but probably only if the MC or R gets them into it first π They'd be super into fantasy, shoujo, and magical girl stuff, obviously, but eventually be mostly into josei and more serious dramatic titles. and shounen/shoujo-ai if i'm honest lol. they'll fall in love with Miyazaki's work in the future even if they never get into anime though!
Curt | um, yea... he'll get into anime via some of the more explicit titles. y'all remember when they just casually sold Bxxxx Bxxxx at FYE? π I can very easily picture him walking down the anime aisle with neutral disinterest until seeing that kind of box art and taking a few steps back π
It'll take a few years for him to get out of hentai and finally start watching more animeβprobably mostly horror and seinen, but he'll come to like yaoi, yuri, and sports anime once that shit really pops off ππ
honorable mention? | Rain won't get into anime because they just... don't consume enough media in their free time to really get "into" things like that. But the current iteration of Rain would not exist without me having watched Paradise Kiss at the impressionable age of 16βand they would adore Parakiss π₯°
