Even if you don't think that the Japanese are very good at writing tragedy, they are at least prolific at it. Anime is a fielding ground for many such stories of loss, death and pain and the overcoming of these things. The medium has wrung a manly tear from even the hardest of hearts. However, in light of current events in Japan, I want to talk about a time that anime made me cry for a different reason: because it made me happy.
Here, I will talk about the relationship of Mamaoru Amami to his parents in episodes 32-45 of the TV series King of Braves Gaogaigar (GGG). I will focus specifically on how the Amamis respond both to revelations about Mamoru and to Mamoru's doubt concerning something revealed to him that they already knew. Additionally, I will attempt to make the case that the moments which I highlight are one that all anime fans can identify with.

Along with the new aesthetic comes a renewed commitment to posting something regularly. I will make weekly posting my initial target, so...both of my readers, please hold me to that standard.
Let the anticipation overtake you.
