Spoilers Kinda? While it does explore the idea of consumating romantic love with andriods ultimately the male and female lead (country boy, human. Beautiful girl, andriod) ultimately go the platonic route as consummating would wipe her memory. Why the creator decided to do that...who really knows? Seems needlessly cruel to both.

As another native English speaker, I’m here to explain the relationship between bison in the city of Buffalo using only a single word. “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” This sentence is grammatically correct, as it uses three different meanings of the word “buffalo” in the English language. The city, the animal, and a rather uncommonly-used verb.
English is like 4 main languages and a bunch of other supporting languages and loan words in a trench coat. Its a horrendous mess of like 30 languages, of course it will be ungodly difficult, even if the grammar is quite simple due to the lack of declensions and such.
Every time I master the current version I decide to relearn... I end up 5 versions behind and getting called "Granpa" by those little brat whippersnapper youngin's who think they're cool with them flipped round hats and four tone hair and basketball hoop earrings and wearing shorts halfway down their legs exposing their underwear... why back in my day doing any one of those things got ya head shoved in a toilet and flushed until ya could hardly breath, and if ya screamed they left ya in there after taping your legs to the toilet tank...

"Let me Google" is the most dangerous thing Henya can say, and she says it often..
yeah, as a 90's kid, that little change in terminology led to a couple of awkward moments. More than times than im willing to admit actually......I used to eat alot of cheese....
Underrated part of this is the funny slight pause after Henya googles it where she turns back to her keyboard and hits the flushed toggle on her model before reacting!
@@Frank_Art Certainly. The way it works is that "buffalo" has three different meanings in the English language. There's the city of Buffalo, NY, the animal called "buffalo", and an uncommonly used verb "to buffalo", which means "to bully, harass, or intimidate". Using these three, you can write this sentence: "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." Using synonyms, we can rewrite it like this: "Buffalo bison Buffalo bison bully bully Buffalo bison." An extended version that sounds less confusing is: "Bison from Buffalo, which bison from Buffalo bully, also bully bison from Buffalo."
Melody being around to play always go two ways: You learn some obscure fact that she somehow knows but you gain the knowledge of that one random fact, for better or for worse. Or it usually leads down a rabbit hole of lewd related discussion. Unintentionally. But at least Henya is learning more english! Not sure if it's the right kind of english.
A good example of what Melody was trying to demonstrate is the Japanese word Kintama. One meaning is "gold ball," the the other meaning is... very different.
I mean yeah, its like tradition, my older brother was stationed in South Korea. I joined the military after he got out and I got stationed there as my 2nd station. He was nice enough to teach me Korean.....I had to re-learn Korean after an incident that, well he played the long game on this prank and i wasnt allowed to leave base for like, 6 weeks without supervision...
quick, mouse, the bilingual girl who im pretty sure english would be considered a second language, help henya understand that words can have multiple meanings!
@@danielantony1882Yes, but I'm fairly certain Japanese doesn't go out to mug a multitude of languages to steal their vocabulary then proceed to mix them into their dictionary whilst also mixing in certain grammar patterns.
@@aliesterus1.023Well, they don’t do it with grammar, but they love doing it with English. A lot of the times, English speakers won’t be able to tell what a word even means, ’cause apparently, in the eyes of the Japanese, “tension” means excitement. There’s a decent amount of these. Not to mention, they use the word “Give up” without the “up” part. Thankfully, the language is 70-90% Japanese, so it’s not a problem.
@@danielantony1882If your a native english speaker thats nothing. We have a stupid amount of new slang and new uses of old words constantly. Removing up from give up is nothing And tension is already used as a synonym for excitment.
The first six and a half minutes are like watching a train wreck and a bomb timer at the same time is super slow-mo. You know there's about to be a lot of screaming, you're just not entirely sure when...
there's a lot of them, jisatsu can be selfie or su*c*de, (though in kanji they are different) chikan is loosely translated as molesting/the act of molesting someone, particularly a woman, but can also be the word for substitution like for example suijou chikan hou, depending on the kanji used you either get 水上置換法 (water displacement method) or 水上痴漢法 (water molestation method)
Henya saying Election and Erection is just to funny to me. Edit: her realization when searching on Google was a perfect reaction. And yeah English is a really weird language and it gets even more so if you're comparing American and British English (spelling wise)
I think a good Japanese example would be "やる" (yaru), which can mean to do/give, but in slang can also mean to kill or to have sex. A lot of people probably know this as the root of やらないか? (yaranaika?), a phrase from a certain BL manga that became a meme a while back.
Same in JP. Even though it's a homophone. 建つ is to erect a building, which is Tatsu, but there's another Tatsu, 立つ which meana to stand upright. But… I think that one can be sexual as well…
@@TheComebackKing20 Just incorrect. For example if a statue was built in 1872 it would be common for there to be a sign “This statute was erected in 1872 to commemorate…” stuff like that. Not that uncommon of a phrase.
1:43 To expand slightly on Melody's definition of 'Bricked', the meaning comes from the idea that your broken technology now has all the functionality of a brick. Your big, expensive computer is now just a paperweight. No idea what Melody did to her motherboard to turn it into an inanimate rock, but she is running high-end motion capture tech and Vtuber programs through it, so it's perfectly believable that something would break eventually.
Theres tonnes of examples of Japanese having similar sounding words with different meanings, but usually differentiated by context and kanji. You would't usually expect, "Can you pass me some bridges?" Vs "Can you pass me some chopsticks?" Though it sounds the same. Ones that might be difficult even in context is something like "I'm allergic to oysters." vs "I'm allergic to persimmon." Sounds almost exactly the same.
Bricking is a Big problem in many parts of the US. It's to the point you need a license to carry building materials, and need to say exactly what you plan to do with them.
I like how one is trying to learn English from someone who struggles to explain and a toaster, while the reliable one was away
Mouse really is the best vtuber. Her absence alone is almost the funniest part, Henya calling out for her to return knocked the wind out of me 😂
You couldve finished that with " and the relianle one is away doing drugs". Technically the truth* because words mean different things 😂
that silly looking vacant stare while the other three were talking was priceless

For anyone else that was confused by Henya's initial reaction; Melody said "an erection" but Henya thought she said "interaction".
Even after understanding that it wasn't "interaction" she's still has difficulties with R/L. A very understandable japanese problem.
Yeah, the subs were wrong about half the time.
@@majesticfox indeed. L/R are the same sound in japanese.
@@rumplstiltztinkerstein so what you're saying is that presidential elections are very different in Japan?
@@rumplstiltztinkerstein I remember a stand in Kanazawa selling "Ice Cream Corns" because of that.
Making sure a Japanese speaker can distinctly say the difference between Election and Erection is important.

But having to make the distinction between L and R to a Japanese person (and someone who already pronounces both clearly) would make me feel like the biggest jerkass on the planet.

Funny how it goes.
ah yes the ninty-ies
