Let’s learn a Japanese phrase from anime/manga every day! (・∀・)ｲｲﾈ!!
I pick up a Japanese phrase from anime/manga (almost) every day to learn Japanese with you all!
I hope this (almost) every-day update post will help you get motivated to learn Japanese.
Today´s phrase is:
Jpn : また村が一つ死んだ。行こう、ここも時期に腐海に沈む...
Phonetic: Mata mura ga hitotsu shinda. Ikou, koko mo jiki ni fukai ni shizumu...
Eng: Again, one more village died. Let’s go. This place also will be sunk/submerged by the Acid Sea (the sea of corruption).
(I have learned everything important in my life from animation/manga)
To understand well the background of this animation, this YouTube clip helps you understand it well.
In the animation, people live near the sea of corruption which is growing so fast swallowing many villages and towns. Humans broke out the war which made the world hard to live because of the pollution caused by the war. People have to hear a mask to breathe because the air is too toxic. It is kind of the world we live in right now that we have to wear a mask due to Covid-19.
