tfw you get the wanikani vocab lesson for 鋼, which you’ve so far learned is steel and the on’yomi is kou, and wanikani is like ‘the kun’yomi is: hagane!’ and suddenly 2005 hits you in the feels again like a train
yeah… i remember learning that kanji… now i remember… hagane no renkinjutsushi was my favorite new long thing to say…
I went to see the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist film in Japan, and when I was buying my ticket, it took me about three attempts to say 鋼の錬金術師 without getting completely tongue-tied.
