<p>Adding some more context into this dialog between Oshino and Araragi will make the intent clear:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;Why would our everyday lives get turned into an anime?!&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Because a drama CD can't convey that wonderful face you make when you act the straight man.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;It'll be fun, though. It'll be like the ending of <em>Demon-Lord Hero Legend Wataru.</em>&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;I don't think I was even born when that was on the air!&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;You say that, but I see your Kyocera phone. The prospect is so on your mind.&quot;</p>

<p>Koyomi claims to be young enough not to know about a show from the late 80s, but Oshino makes the point that he's using an old man's phone (probably refers to a flip-phone, compared to the more modern smartphones; remember how Kaiki suffered when Senjougahara broke his phone).</p>
<p>An interesting point is that Koyomi is probably telling the truth: several sources point to the timeline of the show occurring around 2006-2007, and he would not have been born by 1989 when <em>Demon-Lord Hero Legend Wataru</em> finished airing.</p>

<p>In chapter 009 of <em>Kizumonogatari</em>, Oshino jokes about adapting Araragi's daily life into anime. Araragi objects, but then Oshino mentions that Araragi's cellphone was made by "<a href="http://global.kyocera.com/" rel="nofollow">Kyocera</a>". What's that got to do with having an anime adaptation?</p>

In chapter 009 of *Kizumonogatari*, Oshino jokes about adapting Araragi's daily life into anime. Araragi objects, but then Oshino mentions that Araragi's cellphone was made by "[Kyocera](http://global.kyocera.com/)". What's that got to do with having an anime adaptation?

Koyomi claims to be young enough not to know about a show from the late 80s, but Oshino makes the point that he's using an old man's phone (probably refers to a flip-phone, compared to the more modern smartphones; remember how Kaiki suffered when Senjougahara broke his phone).

An interesting point is that Koyomi is probably telling the truth: several sources point to the timeline of the show occurring around 2006-2007, and he would not have been born by 1989 when *Demon-Lord Hero Legend Wataru* finished airing.
