Link Click's Time Telling and Story Travel
I love Link Click writers for focusing on the story as more than a time travel narrative, and showing us the naked humanity that strives to change, that simply choosing to be helpful is the right thing to do, whether it affects you well or badly is an inquiry for later.
They are saying that you/we don't need time travel to help.
I mean, look at this series villain, it's rumours, is the biggest villain of all.
And the story doesn't take a dunk on time travel, it is using it to make us realise that time travel to do the right thing equals doing the right thing in present.
Watching Link Click is giving me major Elizabeth Bowen and H. G. Wells vibes, especially Bowen's ''In the Heat of Day'' novel, it's an investigation/spy story, where time moves backward as the story progresses, the novel is a play as well, by using and referencing Hamlet. Link Click s2ep9 is that too, it's an anime and a play, the story is going backwards as time progresses, and ofc, the investigation part.
Most importantly, the novel encourages you to look for the truth, avoid rumours, and doing so you are doing the right thing. And by using multi-literature canons the author is saying that reading literature is one way to find the truth and do good. We can look at the anime's meta-message like this, using multi-media -anime and play-to showcase how powerful art and literature and anime can be as it helps you/us that we can be good, and do good.
