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?

What's Kyocera to do with an anime adaptation of Koyomi's life?


Adding some more context into this dialog between Oshino and Araragi will make
the intent clear:

> "Why would our everyday lives get turned into an anime?!"
>
> "Because a drama CD can't convey that wonderful face you make when you act
> the straight man."
>
> "It'll be fun, though. It'll be like the ending of _Demon-Lord Hero Legend
> Wataru._ "
>
> "I don't think I was even born when that was on the air!"
>
> "You say that, but I see your Kyocera phone. The prospect is so on your
> mind."

(This is from Chapter 09, p.142 on the English translation published by
Vertical).

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.
