And Man said, "Like, for identifying predators and foraging for berries and stuff?"

And God said, "...Totally."

And Man said, "Season 3 of The Boondocks was first announced in December of 2009 and began airing in May of 2010, which means it's very conceivable that it began production contemporary with the original broadcast of K-On! season 1 (April-June 2009); indeed, this episode, 'Lovely Ebony Brown' (S3E11), aired only three months after the last episode of the English dub of K-On! season 1."

Edit: That's all five titles solved! Well done, everyone!

Something I've noticed as I've posted these quizzes is that, generally, with each passing quiz, fewer people respond. This has created a bit of a pile-up of unsolved titles, and leads me to wonder if I might be able to get more responses if I provide some extra hints right off the bat — as opposed to waiting to see if anybody asks for a hint. Therefore, this quiz consists entirely of unsolved titles from previous quizzes, but with some extra hints right off the bat. This will probably be my last conlang quiz for a while, and if there are still some unsolved titles from this "stockpile" left after this point, I might just reveal them? I dunno.

The previous posts linked above have 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. The hints I've provided right off the bat might make some of these way too easy, but that's just how it goes.

When you make a guess, please spoiler your answer. If you're right, I will reply with the Evangelion congratulations emoji and provide glosses. I can't guarantee that every translation is perfect, because despite inventing this language, it is still not my first language. I will however only retroactively edit the translations when I've made particularly egregious mistakes; smaller mistakes I'll just leave in.


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.

Note however that proper nouns occasionally do not refer to characters, in which case the gender 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 and -ćk forms active participles.
  2. -v is a suffix used to form the construct state. This means that the following word modifies or possesses the previous.
  3. The root ruň means "head"; it is the root in sokruňeynevńe.

For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we are finishing the classic Gainax series Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (1990), covering the final episodes, 37 through 39. Join a rag-tag group of unlikely heroes on a steampunk adventure to find and save the lost city of Atlantis from an diabolical organization determined to rule the world. Stargate (1994) and Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) pretty much ripped this series off. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Hayao Miyazaki wrote it, and Hideaki Anno was involved, too?

After that is Nadia: The Secret of the Blue Water: The Motion Picture (1991), the theatrical follow-up to the TV series, with neither Hideaki Anno nor Hayao Miyazaki being involved. Is it good anyway? I guess we’ll find out.

Last is KPop Demon Hunters (2011), an English-language CG-animated action feature about a trio of K-pop idols who take up demon hunting to protect their fans. They have to protect their secret identities while also fulfilling their obligations as world-travelling musical superstars. Chicks are gonna rock. Director Chris Appelhans previously did the Aladdin ripoff Wish Dragon (2021), which we have not watched. Good reviews for this, so let’s give it a shot.

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

The only good thing to come from Cyberpunk 2077 gets a new season. Imaishi isn't returning to direct, however Kai Ikarashi worked on a bunch of Trigger stuff and this project looks like it's his promotion to the director's chair. He did episode 6 in S1, which gave us this:

From the promo image it looks like we're following completely new characters? Looks dope

The unapologetic propaganda in support of imperialist/colonial occupation forces and theft of natural resources is back.

Guilty pleasure because watching military with guns fight medieval kingdoms and fantasy characters is hilarious.. I hear it gets even more unhinged and ultra nationalist. Anyone know if the Japanese military is funding it this time or did someone else fund this one?
