I would probably mention these first and foremost, excluding ones already mentioned:

• Sakura Quest — basically about this woman accidentally getting roped into a small town’s tourism micronation gimmick. This one’s the GOAT honestly. Super strong recommendation from me.
• Barakamon — about a calligrapher who gets exiled to a small island. Really relaxing vibes. One of my favorites.
• Cells At Work — it’s like Once Upon a Time… Life, except way better. It’s also like Osmosis Jones except better, because apparently personifying the cells of the human body is not actually a particularly unique idea. Anyways, point is that 9/10 doctors recommend Cells At Work. It’s great.
• Lupin III — super long-running series about the grandson of the famous master thief Arsène Lupin. Part II is the most classic and has a great dub. It’s episodic and fairly formulaic so you can jump in at any point.
• Aggretsuko — Netflix x Sanrio furry office comedy-drama basically, where the main character basically has this death metal persona. It’s a lot of fun.
• Library War — takes place in an alternate timeline where local governments in Japan have established basically militias tasked with protecting libraries from raids conducted by the central government trying to ban books.

I could go on, but I think that’s a good amount of very safe choices, though I don’t know how many of these would be considered to be “popular” as such. You can of course also use something like Anilist to find anime with the tag “primarily adult cast” and sort by popularity, but I dunno how reliable that is, like if it includes or excludes things it shouldn’t.

I don’t believe it will become the universal world language, like once was dreamed. And I do think esperanto has quite a few shortcomings when it comes to being an international auxilliary language.

Ohh, I’ve been thinking up a concept for a future of the world, and in this future Esperanto actually does end up an official language in two countries: in the European Federation, as one of the three federal lingue franche alongside Interslavic and European American Sign Language; and in the Union of the Leagues of Commons of Turtle Island as one of the two federal lingue franche alongside Plains Indian Sign Language. Which is to say that Esperanto is not used as a global language as such, but instead is used as a regional auxlang in places where speakers of different Romance and Germanic languages interact — and even then, the usage of Esperanto often involves simcom, ruby-like glosses, pictograms, and other aids to increase comprehension.

The actual global lingua franca in this timeline then ends up being, wouldn’t you know, International Sign! Which in the future, just as right now, is not a proper language, but rather a more spontaneous system of cross-language communication for users of different sign languages, which in this future the vast majority of hearing people have become.

So essentially, the technology and modes of production of the future have left the world with no real need or desire for a spoken global lingua franca, but rather there is a signed global lingua franca used by both Deaf and hearing people, and there are also a handful of spoken and signed regional lingue franche.

But anyways, yeah, I’m going to say Interslavic and Luka Pona, since OP already mentioned Esperanto and Toki Pona.

Honestly we should be glad that it’s Dr. Breen who’s the administrator of Earth. Everything bad that’s happened under Dr. Breen is just a taste of what would’ve happened and been much worse if Cave Johnson was administrator instead. I get that things are bad right now, but Dr. Breen is trying his best to make things better, the problem is other people.

Last night I had a dream about a type of flower that gives birth to monkeys

Hell yeah brother

It bothers me immensely that delta comes before gamma in this picture, and that omega comes before sigma. Like I’m not going to pretend that I know the entire order of the Greek alphabet, but come on, it’s alpha beta gamma delta, and the last letter is omega.

Honestly as someone who has played Roblox both as a kid and as an adult, I have mixed feelings on it. People Make Games did a great video series on the child labor of Roblox.

My students’ taste in anime. I try to be all cool and show off my cool taste in anime, maybe drop a Azumanga Daioh clip. It’s all ancient history for 17 year olds.

I’m Gen Z and I watched Azumanga Daioh when I was 17, it was my second ever anime!..

…What do you mean Azumanga Daioh is now older than every 17 year old alive today…? Nyoro~n.
