Like last time, these plot descriptions are based on those from Anilist, and you can use things like the structure of the title, the character names, and the occasional numeral to help you figure things out. You can also use the word-for-word translations from the previous quiz to help you figure out some of the more common words.
Hint: deciphering character names
The lengths of names may be of use but don't expect them to perfectly match their lengths in Hepburn/English. Likewise initials might not always match the Hepburn.
Names are inflected with a masculine suffix -a and a feminine suffix -e, but to prevent hiatus these go through the following sound changes:
① {a(ː).V → Vː|V = any vowel} — as in *Sakura-e → Sakuré
② {O(ː).V → ø(ː)|O = round vowel} — as in *Tomoyo-e → Tomoyǒ, or *Kló-a → Klő
③ {E(ː).V → jV(ː)|E = unrounded front vowel} — as in *Miyuki-a → Miyukya
The sound change for front vowels may trigger further sound changes:
{Tj → TT|T = alveolar consonant} — but note that alveolar geminates are realized as palatals
ji(ː) → iː
In that order.

I have no idea how to approach this.
This post is hilarious and cool.
I wish my brain hadn't gotten destroyed by trauma because I'd have found this a fun as fuck linguistic puzzle in high school
That's the trouble with using an a priori lang for this sort of puzzle rather than an a posteriori lang like Esperanto — most of these words are completely opaque, there's no clear relationship between most of these words and their English equivalents. For that matter there's the issue of, like, what if you just haven't heard of any of these shows? Which is maybe remedied a bit by the fact that this is a collaborative puzzle. Last time I did this people actually got all the anime surprisingly quickly, but this time I think I might've made it a bit too hard.
I can give you some hints, though, if you'd like.
