The previous part, which itself links to parts 1-6, has some discussions and glosses of other anime that might help you. The plot descriptions in these quizzes are based on those from Anilist, so you can use that site for reference. You can also use things like title structure, character names, and occasional numerals to help you figure things out, or you can ask me for hints like the meanings of individual words, and I may or may not provide. I'll also be providing a few hints off the bat.

It's maybe a little weird to provide a CW for text in a language no-one else speaks, but I figured it was better to overapply CW's than underapply them.

When you make a guess, please spoiler your answer. If you're right, I will reply with the Evangelion congratulations emoji and provide glosses. And remember that just because someone else solved a title first doesn't mean you can't have a go for yourself.

Also, I can't guarantee that every translation here is perfect, because despite inventing this language, it is still not my first language.

Edit: Meltyheartlove pulled a hat trick today, being the first to solve all three titles. But since all the answers are spoilered, you can still make your own guesses!


Some hints not specific to any title

Deciphering character namesThe lengths of names may be of use but don't expect them to perfectly match their lengths in Hepburn/English. Likewise initials might not always match the Hepburn.

Names are inflected with a masculine suffix -a and a feminine suffix -e, but to prevent hiatus these go through the following sound changes:

① {a(ː).V → Vː|V = any vowel} — as in *Sakura-eSakuré

② {O(ː).V → ø(ː)|O = round vowel} — as in *Tomoyo-eTomoyǒ, or *Kló-aKlő

③ {E(ː).V → jV(ː)|E = unrounded front vowel} — as in *Miyuki-aMiyukya

The sound change for front vowels may trigger further sound changes:

{Tj → TT|T = alveolar consonant} — but note that alveolar geminates are realized as palatals.

ji(ː) → iː

In that order.

Also note that proper nouns occasionally do not refer to characters, in which case the gender that the name is inflected as may not be of much use to you.

Other revelations about the grammar and word derivationIt has by this point been cracked or revealed that...

  1. -t́ forms verbs, -ćk forms active participles, and -j́esk forms passive participles.
  2. -v is a suffix used to form the construct state. This means that the following word modifies or possesses the previous.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, first up is Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (1985), the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), and the series that made Gundam into a national phenomenon. Expect a whole lot of robots fighting each other and war melodrama resulting thereof, as a task force assigned to clean up the remnants of an evil empire turns evil itself. Still considered one of the best Gundam series of them all. Episodes 19 through 24 tonight.

After that is Snoopy, Come Home! (1972), the second feature-length Peanuts film, following A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), which we previously watched. Bill Melendez directs, as with pretty much all the other classic Peanuts animations. This time, Snoopy leaves home to visit an ill girl, and Charlie Brown thinks his beloved dog has left him for good due to being mistreated by humans. This one is famously the tearjerker of the Peanuts films, but don’t worry, it has a happy ending. Some people consider this to be the best of all the Peanuts films, so let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:

Dasco said he had received reports from government and intelligence agencies regarding the flags, which went viral on social media platforms, particularly TikTok. The black flags bearing the Jolly Roger – a skull-and-crossbones symbol from the popular Japanese anime One Piece – were seen hoisted beside the Indonesian red-and-white flag in several viral videos.

After that is Predator: Killer of Killers (2025), an animated anthology based on the film series about spacefaring hunter aliens. It tells four stories, one set in 9th-century Scandinavia, one in 17th-century Japan, one in the North African campaign of WW2, and one in a future space-gladiator arena, and follows the adventures of a different Predator in each one, coalescing into a finale where they all meet. Director Dan Trachtenberg also did Prey (2022), which we previously watched. Great reviews for this, so let’s check it out.
