My son is 4 years old. He is just now getting into so many things. It is incredible to share stuff like Super Mario or Ninja Turtles with him. I am truly so blessed.
There are a lot of things for kids to be into obviously, and while anime is one of them (in no way saying it is purely for kids here) it was never something that I got into myself.
Thankfully I had a chance to talk to an expert about it recently. Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love, the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is an anime expert. I knew this in a general sense, but I wanted to understand exactly what role it played in his life.
Love told me that he doesn’t watch anything else in life. He said he doesn’t partake in American shows or movies, not that he is against them or anything, and that he only consumes anime. Got it. The right person to teach me.
To be clear I mentioned to Love how I was doing recon work for the purposes around my son. He mentioned that anime is obviously very cool for kids, but he then said something that really made me think.
