Ridiculously Complicated
I went to maximum zoom on Chrome and only then could I make out all the details on the last kanji there.
And I thought some of those Chinese characters were hard. I learned simplified Chinese. No such luck, so far as I can tell, kanji came from unsimplified.
How is it possible to remember that? How is it possible to write that on a sheet of lined paper? I mean, the "Suzumiya," fair enough, about on par with simplified Chinese. First half of "yuuutsu," okay, that's 15 strokes, but I've had harder characters in Chinese. But that last character... that's like a 29 stroke character! I counted! I could write a sentence in English with 29 strokes!
I mean... wow. o_o No wonder these things often come with pronunciation on the side.
(granted, I should not be directing this observation at Japanese: the page gave the official Chinese translation, and that character apparently missed the simplification boat; it's exactly the same. Oy. Feel sorry for [or perhaps in awe of] the people who still use unsimplified, if all the hanzi are like that.)
