Yup, looks like my Twitter feed in the weeks and months following every anime convention doomer

edit: I saw someone post a CO₂ reading from the recent Anime Expo's Artist Alley which had a sustained peak of over 3600 ppm...for reference, clean outdoor air has a CO₂ ppm of 420. At 3600 ppm, 8.5% of every inhalation comprises other people's exhalations. It's even approaching OSHA's 8-hour occupational safety limit for CO₂, which is 5000 ppm...like, not even to do with infection control, but because high levels of CO₂ are in and of themselves unhealthy. We could have had a new Clean Air Act for the indoors, but instead the Biden Administration manufactured the end of the pandemic and here we are doomjak

I've never played any of their games (I've sworn off gacha permanently...just eats up too much time), but the recent Uma Musume global release seems to be pretty well received—they even commissioned a proper English adaptation of Umapyoi Densetsu. And I would have figured they were more dynamic than the legacy publishers, being a younger company. But all I really the know about Cygames is that they make fat stacks of cash off of gacha

I'm glad!! Having fun with it is all that really matters, IMO. I mean, even though Mr. Double Dream Feet is undeniably corny as hell, he seems like he's genuinely having a blast, and I love that for him. And of course, if it's something you're interested in, it's never too late to learn more!

Apropos of nothing, here's some dance choreo I particularly enjoy (I am definitely not that good lol). Aside from the incredible execution, it's the perfect mix of sexy yet playful—he's not taking himself too seriously (the cute little shimmy at 1:13 is one of my favorite bits).

Response(sorry for the jank formatting—that's what I get for not hitting Preview before submitting!)

Ah, of course! I did have that rule in my notes, but for some reason I just didn't connect it with r being alveolar—thank you for the clarification!

When I clarified "name-class" that's sort of what I was getting at (the set of all possible names that could fit that pattern), but it's helpful to know that there's an actual duplicate and that they're Japanese feminine names. Hmmm...Minori? Mihari? Matsuri? All shots in the dark, since I still haven't the foggiest idea what these shows are. Maybe if I focus on the hyphen I can figure it out. It sure ain't Psycho-Pass...

Just judging by the structure of the synopsis of #3 (and also resorting to "cheating" by looking up riniv in my lexicon), I. Chika and (?) N***ye are the lead characters with the other three being secondary (sort of a Kyon & Haruhi + Mikuru, Itsuki, and Yuki situation?). The only Chika I can think of is Utsunomiya Chika from Kaguya-sama, but that's clearly not what this is.

Guess for #1Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

I haven't actually seen this show, but I guessed that the bit at the beginning was something like 高１ (perhaps not exactly a guess—I think it's come up before), so I was able to put together that 1. it takes place in high school (wow, that narrows things down!) and 2. clearly this anime-dećt is vital to the plot, since it's mentioned twice. The combination of those two got me to anime-dećt = anime club, and that was enough to get the ol' synapses to fire while staring at the name.

Guesses about the names in #3

spoilerĆé = Chika (Ćika + é)
Nye = Natsuki (Nacuki + é)
Mǒ = Mio (Mio + é)
M**ŕe = i(still)dk
Aé = Aya (Aya + é)

No guesses yet, but thinking out loud:

spoilerHaven't looked at the hints yet because I'm stubborn. Something that struck me as intriguing is that #1, #2, and #3 all have the name (or name-class, I suppose) M***ŕe. If I understand the vowel assimilation rules first described here correctly, the fact that we have a short vowel at the end implies that the original name ended in a consonant, since if there were a vowel there the resulting assimilated vowel would be long. This is obviously atypical for Japanese, which only allows the moraic nasal as a final consonant; the only Japanese name I could think of that is similar is the surname Miura, but I think that would be rendered as either Miurá or Miuré depending on gender, and even then it would be r rather than ŕ (barring a phonological rule I haven't yet become aware of involving compensatory lengthening or something like that). Should I then interpret this as a non-Japanese name which would have vowel epenthesis in Japanese but could be rendered more faithfully to the original intent in a language which allows more complex closed syllables (e.g. how Aerith is pronounced as ending in /isu/ in Japanese but /ɪθ/ in English)? If that's the case, it seems extraordinary that the same pattern would appear in three unrelated anime if it were a foreign character name.

Haven't made much headway in actually coming up with a guess, unfortunately. Curse my inability to remember character names!
