How do I explain to people that this is actually a severely emotional examination of grief, denial, what it means to be remembered and how to best confront your own mortality seriously how do I do that like go up to a friend all like "Hey man you should really check out 'If My Wife Became an Elementary School Student'"
That is truly one of the premises of all time
it's better than u think i swear. vouch
Lol at the usual type of folks making superficial judgements and condemning something sight unseen without understanding it just so they can make sure everyone can see how much of a "correct opinion," they have. Get over yourselves.

Back in boomer times I was impressing this girl with my knowledge of foreign art house films. (You could actually do that then because Europe, China, and Japan weren't just making shit.)
So I tell her to watch Tykwer's Der Krieger und die Kaiserin. She comes back a couple days later and says it was pretty good but what about the scene at the beginning where she gives her dad a handjob. And I say you just kind of have to tune those things out when you're watching a German movie.
!germs thanks for almost cockblocking me a generation ago by being perverts.

You almost cockblocked yourself for reccomending her some obscure kraut movie. Should have just told her to watch Fast and Furious like a normal chad.

??? Neighbor did you watch any movie/show produced in the last 10 years? Like 80% of them have s*x scenes.
There may be less outright sexism in movies, s*x scenes are way more in my experience.

TV yes, films no. Erotic thrillers were a massive genre in the late 80s and 90s, I don't even know if there is an equivalent of Cronenberg or Verhoeven making mainstream, explicitly sexually themed films currently

Is Japanese as neurodivergent in Japanese as it is translated?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Checked with DeepL, seems to be.
The synopsis seems to be: The trials and tribulations of a single father, who one day meets the reincarnation of his deceased wife, who perished a decade before.
With how long anime titles are usually idk why they didn't just go with that as the title.

I meant the title - "If my wife becomes an elementary school student" is one of the most neurodivergent and uncomfortable things you could call the show. Does the Japanese flow right into that blunt weird message? Does Japanese flow like that to each other when they're speaking? Are we missing some synonyms and language structure that makes it a little better sound a little better to latin based ears? Or at the end of the day, is Japanese just a short, simplistic, neurodivergent language? Or is it just anime and there's some subsection of "normal" Japanese people absolutely embarrassed by the toddler phrased culture?
I saw a real Japanese movie once that made the Japanese seem real, but it was by a Spanish guy.

I dont really speak japanese at all, but based on my 10,000 hours of being a weeb, the title does sound better in Japanese.
Tsuma, Shōgakusei ni Naru
I think its because Japanese lacks pronouns (they're always implied) so literal translation is "wife, becomes primary student" which is a lot shorter than the transliteration.

Ok, some stuff is making sense, but I also think that might ironically make them more neurodivergent.

I think you've accidentally hit the nail on the head. I imagine the author intentionally picked words and sentence structure an elementary student would recognize written down.
It does flow better in Japanese, but it is a simple sentence.

I have refused to watch this since it first aired because we all agreed at school the next day it was so implausible that a mere three B'Rel-class scouts piloted by Ferengis could have taken down the Enterprise so easily.
Of course the real reason is we were watching Star Trek because we were very grown up and had no time for kids.
I still do distinctly remember that conversation and the anger though. The writers were playing with Star Trek like it was a mere child's toy!

One of the last manga I read eons ago, just before I lost interest in anime shit. It was okay, I think I even teared up a bit here and there. Better than JJK and the twitter shorts garbo that gets posted on reddit nowadays at least.
