    “Hope you’re ready to define words, dictionary” that’s their whole thing dude.

    Also I would highly recommend anyone into anime to check out Fune wo Amu/The Great Passage. It’s an anime about the creation of a dictionary. It’s a pretty compelling love letter to the idea of language in general. I think I started watching it when it was airing thinking ‘this sounds boring as hell, they’ve gotta be cooking something if this got funded’ and they were.

      Seconded on Fune Wo Amu.

      If you are sick and tired of every single anime having the same Generic High School Protagonist, and not a single character over the age of 30, then Fune Wo Amu is a breath of fresh air as a show for adults that isn’t afraid to deviate from the usual formula, and tell a different kind of story.
