In broadcast, most (all?) CRT TVs would've trimmed off the bit at the bottom of this shot.

This sort of thing's not uncommon! There's at least one example in Gunbuster.

A group of students including Maki and Hiromi. The art for many of the background group of students doesn't quite reach the base of the screen.

Earlier, at the start of TV anime, in the 60s, they rapidly learned that sound effects can make up for limited movement.

And in a world of small TVs in busy households, television sat closer to radio than it does for us.

Have you ever felt rivalry with an upstart so hard that you start having visions of them as the wind dramatically blows into the empty ballroom at night.

Conversation between three elementary schoolers:

"I'm allowed to watch any R-Rated movie I want."
"Even Jaws?"
"Jaws isn't R-Rated."
"Is it NC-17?"
"NO, JAWS IS PG-13 AND I'VE GOT THE PG."

One common challenge when translating horror manga is that the Japanese language is basically tailor-made for stories where it seems like characters carry on normal conversations with the protagonist for dozens of pages until you hit the last page and it turns out they're a ghost nobody can perceive

Famously He-Man only rides a tiger because the manufacturer had a surplus of unsold tiger toys so they just painted those green, put an armored saddle on them, and said "Perfect."

Overheard this same kid telling himself "There are people who aren't as fast as you. You have to be patient with them." Further evidence that he's a young hero in training.

There's a kid in my neighborhood who is always running. Yesterday I saw him stop, pull out a tiny bound notebook, open to the center and quickly scan the contents with a look of deep contemplation. He tapped the page with the back of his hand, said "Yes. Become stronger," and broke back into a run
