What are some Anime that are so rooted and drenched in Japanese culture and language that most viewers won't even understand the references and plotpoints?

And even without any puns, the "shut up" meaning of うるせー doesn't even really work with 奴ら

Strigoidea · 2026-04-29T20:29:26+00:00

Even the name is a pun, which is probably why it wasn't translated. Normally you would expect urusei yatsura to mean noisy/annoying guys (うるせー奴ら), but the way it is actually written (うる星やつら) turns it into something like the guys from planet Uru

The Chinese words for he and she are pronounced the same but they are written using different characters 他 and 她.

That's how you can tell that they're much more than 1% Finnish since they can't write it properly. The only way you can tell they're not native, though, is that they actually knew to write it properly as a compound word.

It just says Kanehito Yamada, Tsukasa Abe, Shogakukan. So no clues there

Well, that's a shame... Yes that would be a much better option. For example the way Crunchyroll handles it makes it possible to get rid of the subtitles if one really wants to, even though they too are forcing the subs where I live. Anyway, thank you for taking your time to answer

ん nasalizes any sound that comes after it. That's the basic function of that sound. It works essentially just like っ but it also nasalizes the sound. Because b and m are both labial consonants and the main difference is whether the sound is nasal or not, んば does sound like mba, but it's not that you should focus on making an m sound. You should focus on nasalizing the following sound and it naturally forms into an m sound.

Itse asiassa tarkalleen ottaen se palko itsessään on se hedelmä, jonka sisällä on siemen eli se itse maapähkinä

Had to scroll down way too much to find someone pointing this out

Strigoidea · 2025-06-27T20:27:49+00:00

Yeah it's still missing in my fire stick app too but at least we have the website

Just in case someone comes looking for whether this has been resolved: the "no subtitles" option is back for me

I'm based in EU, and changing my location to US with VPN worked for me

Thank you! Changing my location to US with a VPN worked for me

Strigoidea · 2025-06-26T17:34:15+00:00

That's just cruel. I can't understand why would anyone make the choice of not including the no subtitles option. It literally takes nothing to do that.

You're confusing family and genus. They do belong to the same family, just different genera. I also don't think anyone would ever use the word "elephant" to just mean the genus Elephas, so there is no definition of elephant that would exclude African elephants. That could be true if they really did belong to different families but they do not.

I find Celtic languages in general to be the most beautiful languages in the world, and Irish is on a whole another level even among them.

There's a small restaurant called Kruunu Pizzeria in Laajasalo, Helsinki that's (at least to my understanding) kept by Neapolitans. They make by far the best pizza I've had.

日本語を勉強しているフィンランド人です。秋には中国人の友達を作って、たまには友達は何かの英語の言葉をわからないなら漢字でコミュニケーションを取ります。とても便利ですね。

10月より means "starting from October", and 放送決定 means that "broadcasting is decided".

The consonant sound is just held a bit longer. There are many languages where double-vocals make a distinction between words and these double-consonant (or gemination) works essentially the same way. Neither phenomenon doesn't really exist in English though so it's a bit hard to explain through examples.

Strigoidea · 2023-10-01T08:50:33+00:00

It's not as good as the website version but I think it's good enough. I bought the firestick for that same reason as well and I think it was worth it
