Another month, another time to be exhausted by employment.

Manga

Nothing new! Just slowly reading new chapters of Shibuya Near Family and reading Full Metal Panic! Sigma at a glacial pace.

...but

Manhwa

Villains Are Destined to Die! - finally finding a second korean comic that is not in the wretched long strip format*, and it's a really good one. The isekai is interesting, the game mechanics actually feel like they add to the story instead of being there because gamers. The writing is shockingly excellent, with the story being unpredictable so far, and there is a sense that there something below the surface. Maybe I'll be disappointed yet (probably by the lack of John Browning tbh). but this is one of the best manga (oh wait) I've read in a while.

( * - idk if all the chapters so far are available as comic pages unfortunately)

Anime

Following Gundam G-Spam being mid, I have instead jumped onto two other series: Gundam Unicorn and Gundam SEED. I don't have high expectations, and so far both are... okay.

Dragon Ball Z is getting slow. But it's consistently good so far! Maybe I'll turn sour on it in a hundred episodes. Probably not.

Monogatari, oh boy. The show's source of deserved sordid reputation does rear its ugly head sometimes. Other times, it's an entertaining Shaft show, with all that entails. Bakemonogatari was pretty good, with Hitagi Senjougahara being the standout character, but the Kizumonogatari movies were genuinely very entertaining. Probably because I'm a member of a goth-adjacent subculture and I love vampire slop lol.

Before it released, I joked about CITY: The Animation being Nichijou 2... but it is Nichijou 2. I'll miss the original's characters, but this is very promising, based on episode 1.

You're Under Arrest! continues being shockingly entertaining. The show's main strength is the Patlabor style workplace shenanigans with the ensemble cast, as well as the reoccurring characters, which the author is surprisingly good at not forgetting about. Strike Man is a hyperchad.

Also a few shows I need to watch more of to mini-review.

Western Animation & Live Action

Evil triangle guy is the only thing I knew about Gravity Falls, and I have now reached them. The show is very fun so far. Stan's Quark for zoomer children.

Andor started kinda slow, but the heist episode was fantastic, and the quality is indeed as high as people claim it has. And season 2 is better? I'm looking forward to it. Even though I'm going through it slow, since I mostly watch it when it's pretty late and I don't have the energy to stay up that much anymore.

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. And just like last time, I'm also providing some hints right off the bat, which may or may not make this quiz way too easy (assuming this isn't too easy even without extra hints).

When you make a guess, please spoiler your answer. If you're right, I will reply with the Evangelion congratulations emoji and provide glosses.

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


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 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Blorptube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy.

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 1 through 6 tonight.

After that is Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1976), a surrealist feature from renowned auteur animator Richard Willians, the guy best-known for The Thief and the Cobbler (1992). This was the only feature-length work completed and released during Wiliams’ lifetime in a form that he intended. Accordingly, it has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, owing to its bizarre, yet fluid animation, structured around a threadbare plot that sees the eponymous living dolls rescuing a kidnapped toy from a pirate captain. Great reviews for this, so let’s check it out.

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

This show's such a mess, but the OPs (and the OVA/movie) are great!

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.

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
