    I mean, at least most of it parses as a sentence, but I want to know how that “R” ended up there. I opened the thread to find an answer, but no luck.

      If you opened the article you’d see the full title is:

      Show Me Your Panties While You Give Me That Disgusted Look! R (Returns) Anime Premieres on April 30

        I did open the article, as you might have observed if you read my comment. However, “R (Returns)” provides very little further information than “R,” especially given just that I can’t read Japanese.

          They put the R (short for “Returns”) at the end of the title to indicate that is is the second season.

          Your first comment didn’t say that you opened the article.

          I bet the R stands for Returns.

          You don’t need to be able to read Japanese to infer that information.

            On reflection, you’re right, I didn’t mention that I opened the article. I thought I did, but that’s on me, not you or the original responder.

            I disagree that the meaning is as intuitive as you claim, but I guess it doesn’t matter at this point. Thank you for drawing my attention to my mistake.
