Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] According to astronomy, wishes take thousands or even millions of years to arrive to the wishing stars. Today, wishes from people long past are starting to come true. by WorsCartoonist

There was a Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episode involving this. They were celebrating Tanabata, which involves wishing on two stars. Haruhi figured that their wishes would be granted in 16 and 25 years, which is when the light would reach the stars. Kyon pointed out that they'd also have to wait for the light to get back, but Haruhi apparently thinks they have FTL wish-granting powers, but not FTL perception.
