The joke is that 'isekai' in Japanese translates to "another world" in English. 1985 was truly another world, as anyone who was there might attest.

16 1 ReplyQuick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce 'isekai'? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren't even close in the way I say them.

Ee-sik-kai and ass key. I bet I'm double wrong but less wrong than OOP. There not close.
9 0 Replyi usually would hear EE-seh-kai or EE-say-kai, given that its basically I and Sekai(meaning world in japanese) put together. so how you pronounce the latter should depend on how you pronounce the word Sekai
