What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • Everywhere? or in what country/place?

  • "Momentary Lily" Original Anime New Key Visual, PV
  • リリィ is a common way to write it, although I'm not sure why it's more common than リリー (perhaps just cause the ィ is more of a phonetic addition rather than a semantic one). Here's a list of fictional characters whose name is spelled リリィ. It's probably supposed to be a less obvious way to evoke the idea of yuri. There seem to be a couple other series that have had similar titles like "Comicリリィ" or "アサルトリリィ Bouquet".
    Anyway, the "Lily" isn't the only remarkable part of the title, what does "Momentary" mean here? Leave it to Japanese pop media to take random English words to make titles that kinda work? but wouldn't really work well in English. Shoutouts to "Battle Tendency" and "Delicious in Dungeon".
    But yeah, it's definitely not a localization of yuri/ユリ/百合 because the title doesn't say that at all.

  • Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer
  • I'm with you on the Gamecube controls, tank controls are awkward but Wii pointing is more awkward. Although the best control scheme I used was a Steam controller on Dolphin (for the Wii version).

  • New to manga. I've finished Death Note, Berserk, Assassination Classroom, and Attack on Titan. What should I read next?
  • Monster, Chainsaw Man, JoJo's, maybe Beastars, maybe Houseki no Kuni, and honestly Prison School.

  • People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • I love archaic inconsistent Japanese. 今日 (obviously きょう) used to be pronounced the same way but spelled... けふ. There's a Wikipedia page on historical kana orthography and the example the use on the page's main image is やめましょう spelled as ヤメマセウ. The old kana usage sticks around in pronunciation of particle は and へ. There also used to be verbs ending in ず that turned into じる verbs like 感じる. Here's a post on Japanese stack exchange where somebody explains verbs that end with ず, づ, ふ, and ぷ.
    Honestly I'm glad I don't have to learn historical inconsistent spellings, but part of me thinks that it's really cool and wishes it was still around.

  • 愛が足 [Lucky☆Star]
  • *愛が足りない?(Not enough love?)
    愛が足 means "love is feet"

  • It's time to stop thinking plastic phones can't be premium
  • I did a search on GSM Arena and if you lower the battery capacity to 5000 then there's a single result. If you change some of the other spec requirements there's some other stuff available but nothing that matches what you want one-to-one.

  • In this CD booklet, they forgot to remove some Japanese lyrics.
  • Chinese characters were also used in Vietnamese and Korean until surprisingly recently.

  • What is skibidi and why is this word everywhere? [Serious]
  • Source Film Maker, 3D animation software based on source engine which was used for games like Portal and Team Fortress 2.

  • Embarrassing coal
  • Yeah if anything I'd expect a coal mining museum to be way more aware of the impact of their energy source and be more likely to switch to solar.

  • Good estate
  • People are such perfectionists when it comes to buildings. I love this image; the patchwork aesthetic needs less hate. Yeah it looks silly, but why should it look serious? I wouldn't be upset if a building built today were to have an awkward attachment added in 500 years that was built to the design standards of that time period.
    Somebody showed me recently the rebuild of the Augusteum building of the University of Leipzig which had a hyper-modern redesign like 180 years after it was first built (look it up, it's pretty cool). And the building in this post is like a lower-effort, more earnest version of that idea. Is it bad real estate? Sure. But it's good architecture. "Authenticity" be damned.

  • I think it's extremely invasive that amazon is telling me this
  • I mostly agree but it's a different time. People can find you online using your name and face (not everybody is as anonymous as I'm sure many of you lemmites are) and it's not likely that anything bad would happen but I can see it as a privacy concern.
    It's still just first name though so I don't see it as super invasive but it's still not exactly the same thing as a pizza guy wearing a name tag that says "Rambo" (or whatever it says in the image you uploaded)

  • Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?
  • The word you're thinking of is "fantasy"

  • Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?
  • There are decades worth of good anime out there. If new stuff isn't doin it for you, pick up a show from spring 2006 or something. A lot of trash comes out every season (and always has) but nobody is forcing you to watch it.

  • What has everyone been watching lately?
  • I've just made it about 10 episodes into Nana. Why have I not heard more people talking about this show? It's so good. Maybe the best thing I've seen yet.
    On the side I've also been watching Kimagure Orange Road, Hidamari Sketch, Frieren at the funeral, Aim for the Ace 2, Evangelion rewatch, etc.

    Legend of Zelda
  • Phantom Hourglass was my first but Spirit Tracks is my favorite. I actually really like the stylus DS controls (and it's not even that bad using a mouse on an emulator either) but the main thing I like is the music and story. Music and story I would say are both better in Spirit Tracks than any other game in the series. It also is one of the few games in the series that you can really call a legend of Zelda. She's there the whole time and the main story focuses on her character arc.
    Just overall an amazing experience with some really dramatic moments, if I had to summarize what I like about it more than the other games in the series I'd say it's the most "cinematic & dramatic"

  • [REQUEST] Data for testing the accuracy of a new recommendation algorithm requested

    Drama, Romance, Mystery
    Is this anything like anime.plus? (Which, for the record, decided that my top three genres were mystery, drama... vampires)

  • What anime would be most improved by a "Truman Show" plot twist at the very end?

    ie: the main character finds out that everybody else is an actor and everything aside from their own actions are staged. My personal vote is that it would be pretty funny for Death Note to end like that
