Ahs-see. The hard C following a vowel and preceding a long vowel makes "ck" seem wrong to me.

The joke is that 'isekai' in Japanese translates to "another world" in English. 1985 was truly another world, as anyone who was there might attest.

isnt it a joke ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isekai,

Quick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce 'isekai'? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren't even close in the way I say them.

ih-seh-kai, and ASCII like ass-key. They aren't close, to me.

That's ass-sea, you Neanderthal!

It's much funnier that way, as any right thinking human knows ;)
