An episode. The evidence. Does it belong to the source material?
FROM KAI'S ANIME DESK
The waiting was part of it.
Streaming gave us everything at once. Television made us wait. Annoyingly, the waiting is the part everyone remembers.
Read Kai's note
Anime used to arrive like contraband: a block, a time slot, a warning from your parents that it was too late to still be awake. Streaming made access better. It also made patience worse. The Frame is interested in both facts.
