    Why is it that I cringe when someone pronounces the first part of "manga" as if it rhymes with "bang" instead of "long", but if someone pronounces it "ah-nime" I think they're a stupid weeaboo tryhard?

    mysteries of the mind

    Because 'anime' is similar to (and probably derived from) the English word 'animation' so you're acclimated to that vowel sound.

    There's no analogous cognate for 'manga.'

    why's it gotta be manga, Feral.

    Because Japan is sexist.

    It's the same reason I wanted to stick my fingers in my ears every time Obama said Paaahkistaaaahn as if he'd been taught English by mary poppins, then in the same sentence said Afghanistan like he'd been raised by Ma and Pa Kent.

    Atleast Obama had an excuse, his childhood was ridiculously international, it'd be weird if he DIDNT pick up the occasional odd pronounciation

    Okay, can someone explain the Dinraal and company thing from Breath of the Wild?
    Basically, every time I see one of the dragons, i can hit it with an arrow for a scale, correct?

    Pretty much, yeah.
    There are three dragons, one for each element.

    You hit it at different locations on its body to get different body parts. Scales are the easiest to get.

    Ok! that makes sense.

    The "tutorial" quest is real good but at the same time, not that great, becasue it doesn't make it clear that it's a normal thing, Imo.

    Japan is really weird about their gender and sexuality issues. Their actual society is rigid as hell, but their media doesnt reflect that at all.

    For my entire life, I've had problems with long and short A sounds.

    I switch between them erratically; sometimes I'll pronounce the same word two different ways on different days.

    "Mana" is a good example of a word that I bounce back and forth on a lot.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    ahh, Ranma is so good

    Never saw the appeal of that franchise myself.

    Personally,

    1) the art and animation is p cute,

    2) the theme of a man building more empathy for women by occasionally becoming one for a while is p interesting, and seems super ahead of its time, and

    3) sometimes the humor is p funny.
    I remember reading that these days anime tends to alternate between action scenes with high-calibre animation and talky scenes where the characters barely move and that, meanwhile, ranma's animation doesn't do that, and has energetic animation from beginning to end

    anyway when I caught some of it for the first time a couple years ago I was like, oh, huh, this actually seems quite good
