I am 28 years of age and my first and only reaction to the #staycrunchy commercial was to smile. Having trouble imagining why anyone on anitwitter in 2018 would cringe at such a thing or like, feel in any way negative about it

Man…the #staycrunchy commercial has made me cry more times than I can count. It’s about what anime really means to the people who love it and isn’t afraid to genuinely say, “yeah we genuinely love anime and everything anime means to us.” It dares to be genuine and that’s special

Thoughts on #StayCrunchy: @Crunchyroll excels at being like, the only company who markets with unwavering sincerity. No irony, no self-deprecation, just, “Isn’t it cool to like stuff, let’s hang out if we like the same stuff or even if we don’t.”
