Pseudoregalia is insanely good

I don't have strict standards, but generally:

• usually upvote someone who responds to me with something substantial, even if I disagree
• downvote things that are antisocial (self-hate/self-harm, antinatalism, misanthropy)

Remember some years ago when people were posting online like "in Russia it's illegal to post this picture of Putin 🤣" with this pic?

Now that's the USA.

As someone who actually did learn Japanese through watching anime, it took me about 3 years. I started watching anime regularly in 2018 and when I was watching Hori-san to Miyamura-kun in 2021, the last two episodes had not been subtitled, so I watched them raw and mostly understood it.

A lot of people will say that it's impossible to learn just via watching anime, but have not actually tried it. Yes, if you have subtitles on, it's easy to let yourself totally ignore the Japanese. But it's not impossible, and if you are focused, you can still learn even with subs turned on.

Later on, I started taking classes in Japanese at college and started learning a lot more. But just knowledge from watching anime was enough to pass an oral placement test and skip the first 2 semesters. If you are serious about learning Japanese, I recommend taking classes or studying it seriously online. There's also better input resources than anime such as streamers or even conversation analysis audio for linguistics research.

But I am convinced that anime is still a very good tool because many people like anime and are already very motivated to watch it. This is a very big strength because the biggest obstacle to learning language is giving up. This, combined with Japanese's very very simple grammar and verb conjugations actually makes it a very easy language to learn, imo.

What length of hair did you have?

Imo, pre-2012. I think you could also argue that 2018 or 2020/2021 is the start of the modem era of anime, or even 2006.

Whatever you are... MAKE ME A PIZZA (Zoombinis)

Picture is of "Front Mission" (1995). I've never played or heard of it, tbh it is just taken from the Wikipedia page for tactical RPG.

Better to just use browser history, OP could search "YouTube cream" and likely find it. I had to change my settings to stop Firefox from deleting my oldest pages in history though.

Any topic? What do you think about water desalination?

Neon Genesis Evangelion, scene where

Agree with Gordon Freeman 100%. I might also suggest the Guide from Terraria and the CS:GO player models. Maybe also the player character from Noita, the goat from Goat Simulator, Quote from Cave Story.

These ones may be more niche, but for me personally I would also add Guy Spelunky, Princess Remedy, and Worm (Worms Armageddon).
