But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
I've always thought it was 'mo' until basically this second.

I had to learn Japanese for two years in primary school, so when I first heard the word "moe", I was fully equipped to pronounce it correctly. Relevant real-world skills right there.

is there anywhere i can legally watch densha otoko?

i just listened to a podcast where people argued about mulder's pronunciation of "ronin" in an x-files episode. some guy says ronin and mulder corrects him by pronouncing it with a long i and the podcast guys were like i bet that's not even right.

there's no such thing as a "hard" a, but i know what you mean, except it seems real weird to me to say "mon-ga" and then also say "an-nim-ay" like if you're going for accurate pronunciation it should "mon-ga" and "ah-nee-meh" and nobody ever says that.

i say it mayn-guh and i'm never going to stop

:agreed:

even i can't help but wince at how dweebish the correct pronunciations of anime and manga sound in english

I pronounced it "mow" in my head and this is the image I had when I thought about it:



I'm probably a bit older than most of you ... or some of your parents. Also, not a big Simpsons fan. Loved Futurama though.

Took me a long time to get used to "mow-ay". Gah.
