[bebop/My Funny Valentine] the things that we thought the future would be like in the past are hysterical now that we're in the 2020s/lived through the 2010s

Faye's horrific accident occurs in 2014, but Faye still thinks cellphones would have solar antennas when she wakes up
LOVE☆STRUCK
the show was developed in 1994 and released in 1996 (which is, hysterically, when Faye was born) and so they wouldn't have known that cell phones stopped having antennas
LOVE☆STRUCK
and hysterically I think the communicators that Spike and Jet use also have antennas
LOVE☆STRUCK
in the 1990s, we couldn't imagine that cell phones would ever work without antennas
LOVE☆STRUCK
a similar thing happens with Ace Attorney, which was also developed inthe 1990s and set in 2020 rather than 2071
LOVE☆STRUCK
irrelevant to that, i still love that jet and spike essentially get to beat up Faye's ex boyfriend
wedding rose??
This is very common with 90s mecha anime. So many floppy disks.
LOVE☆STRUCK
SO MANY FLOPPY DISKS!

the thing i love about Bebop re: information is that there's a lot of physical items that have information on them
LOVE☆STRUCK
such as chess pieces that work like amiibos on a digital chess board
LOVE☆STRUCK
or a poker chip that has information encrypted on it

antennae are weird, 'cause like. on some stuff, i miss having external ones, but on others i'm very glad they're internalized
Haze Arquebus
i never had one personally but i always loved the aesthetic of flip phones with an extending antenna

oh my god, i had one of those old Nokia models just like that in high school as my first cell phone
LOVE☆STRUCK
HEHEHE
LOVE☆STRUCK

LOVE☆STRUCK
the only problem for me was the intense desire to chew on them
LOVE☆STRUCK
i didn't have one of my own but i'd extend the one on my parents' for the short time they had them b4 they wee internalized
corpse bride
no, wait, i think mine was actually like this
corpse bride
corpse bride
it just had the flip cover to protect the buttons from buttdialing
corpse bride
at least, i assume that was the intended purpose, i always kept it in my purse
Haze Arquebus
that style was also a good aesthetic
