it's acuity that nobody can agree on (like, "how large does text have to be for you to read it at X distance uncorrected"); japan just takes the "20/20" fraction and simplifies it to a decimal number (ie 20/20 = 1.0; 20/200 = 0.1)

the actual core prescription numbers (as in, properties of the lenses themselves) are essentially the same everywhere afaik (spherical power is in diopters; there's a bit of variance in how cylinder/prism are expressed but those are secondary)

I'm increasingly convinced that the Luma is actually an elaborate hazing ritual disguised as a hotel; they have developed a type of coarse-textured woven-plastic floor material that's physically painful to walk on barefoot, and installed it in their guestrooms of all places

apparently all the VAs got a bunch of detailed direction except for shigemichi, who was told to just do whatever

daily reminder that if you think "confess" has romantic implications, you've seen too much mediocre J-E loc work; that is purely a shitty stock translation and does not exist natively in english
