Welcome to the fold. First rule of 🍑 🔑: claim territory, and keep the isekai clan off our turf.

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.

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.

That’s ass-sea, you Neanderthal!

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

i usually would hear EE-seh-kai or EE-say-kai, given that its basically I and Sekai(meaning world in japanese) put together. so how you pronounce the latter should depend on how you pronounce the word Sekai

Ee-sik-kai and ass key. I bet I’m double wrong but less wrong than OOP. There not close.

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