Loosely inspired by how much people seemed to enjoy a similar question I asked on Games about unappreciated titles. But answers don’t have to be media related (they still can be though).

    The enormous differences between korean and japanese writing are interesting for someone who can read neither. Is it related to your factoid about the language’s relations?

      Their writing systems have their own cool histories. Japanese technically has 4 writing systems (kinda 5 if you count the original purely chinese-character based system). Korean used to have Hanja, a Chinese based system, but then some emperor just decided “nope, this sucks, I’m making a new thing”, and came up with hangul. Imo hangul is one of the coolest systems out there.
