@Chuuri8 What an amazing sentence.

[Dr Wes Robertson @ScriptingJapan]

Coming back here briefly to say you absolutely shouldn't watch Another. Not because it's disturbing or horrific or anything. Just because it's absolute trash.

@pintupi73 Final Destination has unbelievable amounts of charm compared to Another. Another is a bait-and-switch with a great first episode followed by nothing of value.

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

이게 왜 진짜임

@thierryntoh23 No point in following me here I don't use this website regularly but thanks for watching my TikToks.

[Dr Wes Robertson @ScriptingJapan]

"That bitch" is a terrible translation of "a no onna". The correct translation would be "A's Bitch" or "Bitch A".

[Tyler/Thanatos 🪲🏳️‍🌈 @thaanxtos]

when the jp audio says "a no onna" but the subtitles say "that bitch"

[Dr Wes Robertson @ScriptingJapan]

@ericyoondotcom If one existed hundreds if not thousands of years ago sure.
