    I don’t know all the words in this, but I doubt it; it’s a classic Chinese tongue twister.

    The first line translates to "four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty. On the second & third line it’s something along the lines of “whoever says 40/14 says <X>, <sth> 40/14”, as far as I can tell.

    Spoiler

    No, I don’t want to use a translator, where’s the fun in that?

    Gotta say, using 3 just feels like giving up due to laziness, even in 1200BC.

    Also it’s interesting how the Chinese entries basically stop between 1400 and 1949, whereas European names are far more present during this era. Some Japanese ones, too. I wonder how comprehensive this page is.












  • Really? Do you have some examples?

    Because otoh, when I think of highly rated anime, there’s barely anything like this that comes to mind. I’m thinking of stuff like Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter x Hunter, Frieren and Spy Family, for example. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a better fit, admittedly.

    Shows like One Piece, JJK and whatnot may be different, but personally, I don’t think too highly of them, anyway.
