this was one of the things i hated most when i used to be an app-processing mod. bonus points if it's a canon that throws in a lot of gratuitious non-english words (looking at you, bleach, and your random spanish and german and wtfever), or comes up with its own terminology for common words, or a japanese canon where fansubbers/scanlators leave stuff untranslated and that's the version most players play from.
this also applies when referring to canon events or characters without any context- sometimes i was able to figure things out later on, but a lot of the time i was left scratching my head. if it's important enough to bring up in your app, then please explain it- you don't need to go into multi-paragraph detail, but a simple sentence or two helps me put things in context.
