[Observer]

I agree, although only partially about the wisdom thing. It's more like they're starting to learn to "cope" with themselves. It's weird how the more restrained emoting from the hand drawn art probably helps carry this, although there's something about how it's funny to see the everyday suffering of the characters, but now that we're saying goodbye to them it's kind of nice to see them kind of "doin okay" for real, even a little bit. Maybe it wouldn't be as fun to know they were suffering without as there to laugh at their pain.
