@EllaTheKawaiiNeko "Cheese is hecking great" weird turn of phrase but it's true. (Especially brie and goat's cheese.)

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Western animation executives work in mysterious ways. I mean at this point it's totally random. Shame that adult animation is 80% Simpsons ripoffs and the actual Simpsons show has become... whatever it is now.

@blindsquarel Did you sleep well?

@MarioLover92 Nice picture, it reminds me of my own island, which I have to visit one day

@Kermit1 the whole Ocean Eyes album of Owl City is great. Also, Cheeeese, Gromit!

@Scooby-Doo How far are you in Japanese Duolingo?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Cruella was kinda good. It was funny how they advertised the soundtrack more than the story or cast.

@ComfyAko I could probably say lower-intermediate, but a better idea is, you see the video Kermit1 posted? I can read all the names of the characters, and the top 2 voice actors. I'd use the design of Duolingo's UI, but they kind of messed around with it at some point, and I still haven't got used to it.

@ComfyAko I love that album, suck a great vibe.

@ComfyAko
I may have been a little on edge when walking around at night, but other than that I was good.

@Scooby-Doo Wow that's ultra rad. I'm familiar with most kanji there (when they are used in words I recognize) but can't tell what sound they should make. Hiragana and Katakana are very easy (unless they use some weird font for Shi/tsu/n/so as they look very similar) but I couldn't read almost any of full names because of the kanji.

@Kermit1 I agree, it's one of my all time favorites for chilling. But I still think Vanilla Twilight should be the biggest hit.

@blindsquarel It's all fun and games until the monster under your bed comes and asks if they can watch scary videos with you

@blindsquarel are you scared a horse is gonna turn into a dragon and eat you? I'd be scared too.

@ComfyAko Yeah, those ones really bug me, because I often have to look twice to figure them out. It makes fast-moving credits and the like a pain, but I'm normally quick enough.

@Kermit1
Nah, I made the mistake of reading up about skin walker’s and stuff like that yesterday.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika If they did that I'd start watching it.

@blindsquarel horror stuff doesn't really scare mainly because it's fake and made up... But Dark Crystal still scares me...

@SlashFuture

@Scooby-Doo Damn, looks like I got 1200+ days and nothing to show for it. I can't read Japanese that fast.

Good job, I'm guessing you're like at least N3 now?

@ComfyAko Maybe, haven't checked. I'm just naturally a quick reader, though, and I did start learning when I was 9 or something, so I had a serious advantage.

Creator Clash 2 looks huge, what a lineup, and I don't even really like boxing lol.

Out of curiosity, how many removed comments/warnings can get you suspended?

@ChaoticKirby From experience 4.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Truly a sad way to go.

I loved that movie! Gotta be honest, I thought it as Gonna suck, but it didn’t, it was actually thought out, we need more stuff like that.

@ComfyAko
Kanji words have two different spelling:
Kunyomi = Japanese style spelling
Onyomi = Chinese style spelling.
If you have ever seen Kanji letters either from video games or anime, you will notice there were some Kanji words with same letter but have different spelling.
That was because it paired with specific Kanji or Hiragana and made different spelling.
This is one example.
楽
It can be spelled Tanoshii if written as 楽しい = Happy, which it's spelled with Kunyomi style.
It can be spelled Raku if paired with another Kanji with both of them are spelled with Onyomi style. (楽園 = RakuEn = Heaven)
It spelled Raku as it came from Chinese spelling Le but Japanese letter have no L letter so everything from L letter will be spelled as R letter.
Kanji letters are borrowed from Chinese letters so if you have ever study Chinese or ever understand some Chinese letters, by looking at some Kanji letters even you don't know the spelling in Japanese as long you already know the meaning from Chinese letter that's already enough. Some basic Kanji letters for RPG games such as reading the elemental weakness.
火 = Fire
水 = Water
雷 = Lightning
氷 = Ice
風 = Wind
土 = Earth
