This year we couldn’t visit because of COVID, but I looked up some out-of-context anime quotes, to get the same nostalgic feel.

Even in context this is a great anime quote.  
[People die if they are killed! - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-GMrOxRmJXAThis) was in your link, but I feel it’s funny enough to list separately.
