I believe an English-language translation of Shuna's Journey came out just a couple of years back.
Certainly nowhere near the scale of Nausicaa. Shuna no Tabi was probably the first book I ever actually read all the way through in Japanese.

I think it's a revolutionary way to launder plagiarism. It's the benefits of that to all of humanity that I'm more unclear on.

The numbat is one of only two marsupials that is strictly diurnal, as the daytime is when the termites that they feed on are most active.
The noolbenger (also known as the honey possum) is the only mammal besides bats that is strictly nectarivorous.

I don't know much about the character but in my headcanon Hello Kitty AKA 'Kitty White' from England is somehow related to the Street Fighter character Cammy White, who is also from England.

I was slightly bemused by the character's non-gendered radical, but that would explain it.

It's a shame that the company went downhill. It covered such a wide variety of languages including some that don't have that many readily available learning resources.

Huh, I hadn't put much thought into the role of that fourth black stone beyond it making the graphic a bit more dynamic. It's great to know the mechanics behind that particular setup.
Also cool to see there were apparently a couple of attempts at that stylised tengen: logos.fandom.com/wiki/Tengen

Rather than Blow I think I'd rather hear about what indie games came out around the same time as Braid but have largely fallen under the radar since because nobody decided that they were 'genius' enough.
Played 'Mr. Robot' not that long ago and that seemed a charming enough title.
