This isnt the thread to be asking this, faggot attention whore. We watch hololive here. Personally I stopped watching anime when I discovered hololive and never looked back.

I used to watch anime for enjoyment and I stopped watching anything new since a few years ago.
Now I watch anime to study Japanese.

i've played quite a few and no, no trouble, games are generally easier than VNs in terms of language and don't require anything like listening skills like watching anime might
games were in fact the first medium where i essentially stopped looking anything up because things i didn't know were so rare

of course this depends on the game somewhat, there might be place/person names or whatever i might not be able to spontaneously read if i play nioh or something

but the average game is quite easy

i started learning japanese in 2017 but i never studied that hard because i was always busy with other things, completely stopped studying between 2021 or 2022 not sure from that point i only occasionally engaged with japanese content such as watching anime
how much do i understand? nothing, looks like cursive russian or arabic or something, no clue what i'm looking at

>“I totally understand — the flirty voices of female characters in late-night anime made me feel so uncomfortable I stopped watching them”

>Studio Ghibli is known for its beautifully crafted, touching, animated fantasy feature films, but at the helm of the lauded animation studio is a man with a famously stern demeanour — director and co-founder Hayao Miyazaki.
>Over the years, the outspoken Miyazaki has ruffled feathers with some surprising comments, once saying that the anime industry’s problem is that it’s full of anime fans, and then revealing the kind of otaku he hates the most.

>Interviews with the legendary anime director are rare, however, so sometimes the things he’s said years ago pop up again to surprise a new legion of fans. That’s what happened this week in Japan, when an article detailing Miyazaki’s feelings about female voice actors resurfaced.
>In the interview, given to the Guardian in 2005 ahead of the U.K. premiere of Howl’s Moving Castle, Miyazaki was commenting on the foreign actors cast for the movie’s dubbed version. When the discussion turned to Lauren Bacall, who voiced the Witch of the Wastes for the English-language dub, Miyazaki spoke approvingly, describing her as a “a fabulous woman”. He then went on to say: “All the Japanese female voice actors have voices that are very coquettish and wanting male attention, which was not what we wanted at all.”

>True to form, Miyazaki knows how to throw shade at the anime industry like nobody else. However, in this situation, the large majority of Japanese people who heard his statement for the first time, 15 years after it was first made, tended to agree with him.
>“I totally understand — the flirty voices of female characters in late-night anime made me feel so uncomfortable I stopped watching them”
>“I’ve been saying the same thing for years.”
>“I can’t stand it — it’s like they mass-produce voice actors with a template at training centres.”
>“The voices aren’t natural but sadly, the viewer is accustomed to it.”
>“The voice acting is too exaggerated. It’s ridiculous to think girls talk like that all the time.”

crazy how immersing is suddenly fun after i stopped watching anime

>Unless she appears in a primetime TV drama or has more than 5 CF deals then no
>They are not trying to make her mainstream
>That would be for mainstream entertainer mainstream seiyuu are more about appearing in stuff that normies would watch
>when all the "mainstream" anime personalities stopped attending
Like who?
>I dare to say Tomori (prime time slot) has a bigger push than Ten-Chan or Rieri ever had.
Nah Tenchan is main heroine of Seven Deadly Sin which the popular S1 aired on same slot back then but at that time anime was still not booming much like now especially post KnY, the thing now is not really the matter which anime air prime time or late night if KnY, JJK and SxF are doing well and being mainstream despite being late night anime, anime that aired on terrestrials have potential to be mainstream more because people now have interest in watching anime more than ever, even look at how the theme songs usually ranked high despite the anime not being very popular, anime from Jump are also potential to be more mainstream knowing their reputation, fyi Amamiya latest two main heroine roles are terrestrial atleast Tomori still takes Isekai and otaku shit heroines, Amamiya is not, instead she got tv drama role and live action CM even increased her dubbing roles too, and talking about desperately going mainstream lately of course Rieri would be the winner but everything flops except Oshi no Ko in which she didn't appear much except early episode

There's a lot of different ways you can go about it. Traditional studying which imo is slow and boring as fuck. I took a couple of Japanese classes and but if I'd do it again you can do it much more quickly by learning it yourself. Honestly I've been out of the loop on what's considered good resources now since I stopped following the methodologies of certain communities like DJT or Refold for a while now and found my own ways to learn. You can check out Refold or like learnjapanese.moe. But back when I started I just learned grammar from Tae Kim to get the basics down along with my classes. Use Anki and learn to recognize kanji with some decks. I wouldn't do the deck with all the most common 2.1k kanj though. You're gonna get burnt out. I started learning and grinded out about 800 or so before I started to learn kanji in context (learning it through words later on). For vocabulary, I'd learn them through sentence cards at first (sentence on front, definition of word on back). Ones I used were Tango N5 and N4 anki decks, not sure if they even exist anymore. After that, I mined my own words from watching anime/reading manga and just made my own anki cards. Personally later on after about 6k words, I moved onto word cards where the anki card had the word on front, definition on back. Anki reviews became much quicker. But most important thing is immersing yourself in the language though. I started watching anime with japanese subtitles first and even though it was painful as fuck not understanding anything for a couple months, it gets better. After that I started reading easy light novels, manga, and visual novels. Some people prefer reading to watching and that's fine imo. Just make sure you get your listening reps in. If you have no life like I did during 2019 - 2021 you can honestly advance super quickly. For grammar that is unknown to you, just search it as you come across them. If you immerse enough it should retain in your head how they work. IMO, you advance your skills through reading much faster than listening. So I spent most of my time reading but make sure you still watch audio. I mainly watch SoL and I can understand 99% without subs.

But yeah if you want some resources just read through the ones I'm about to give you. People always argue about what's the best and shit but don't even worry about it. I just did what felt right by combining everything from these websites. Refold, animecards, learnjapanese.moe. There's also /djt/ if you wanna check that out lmfao. Anki decks: I'm honestly not sure what's good any more or if these are even relevant anymore but here was my route. RRTK (about 1k most common kanji but I learned to recognize 800) -> Tango N5, N4 while watching beginner anime -> Mining my own anki cards (at some point you want to make cards with Japanese definitions). If there are better anki decks now just use those instead. I watched anime that I've watched before with Japanese subtitles and mined them -> read light novels and visual novels.

Same, also anime. I wasted so much time on crap like that and now I'm 26 with no life experience in anything. I have already stopped watching anime and barely pay any attention to idols. Pretty soon I'm going to stop posting here completely and even using the internet. Doesn't matter though because I will never get my time back.

i think i've read about 50 hours of manga before switching to vinnies, and about 50 hours more of those (one very very short vn) before trying out linnies
gotta say reading manga was a huge pain in the ass as a beginner because looking up shit is harder
i think i got most of my gains reading lns though because i don't really like vns, and they have a longer set up (texthooker, paste page, odd window resolutions etc') whereas with linnies you can just open ttu and go, not to mention you can have a similar set up on your phone and read and mine away from home, which helped in my case
don't bother with looking up difficulties on jpdb for lns, they're extremely retarded and completely arbitrary, lns with the same unique word percentage, unique kanji percentage, and length can have wildly different scores, like 4 and 9, so read whatever you want, it'll all be pretty hard, and will only get somewhat noticably easier around 8-10k words mined, which is unfortunate
i think i watched anime occasionally from day 1, and i still do
i started by watching stuff i've already seen, and intended to rewatch "sometime", then went on to seasonal shit i really don't care about, and now i just watch pretty much anything, sometimes i stopped to read and mine, sometimes i didn't
i also restarted reading manga only recently because it's significantly less of a pain in the ass now
i dabbled with podcasts and audiobooks but i can't say i've made any significant, noticeable gainz with them
all the best pal

I don’t really keep up with interspecies reviewers I kinda stopped watching a lot of anime as of recent especially the newer stuff. That the last monster girl/animal girl stuff I did watch was Kemono friends and after that I went back to just the normal stuff.

>>43645560
I honestly stopped watching anime now that T's are associated with it, so you might be right that there are some new anime out there with fanservice.
Maybe I just grew out of it, can also be the case.

stopped watching anime in high school

Shit you're right that's my bad, the subtitle had the same naming scheme as the previous file that worked fine, where I was just changing the delay via console with so I expected it to be the same.

Shit like this is why I stopped watching anime regularly and have just been watching variety for years.

also lol dunno what's wrong with my mpv screenshot settings that it adds that black shit

I stopped watching the One Piece anime many years ago. I feel like I'm closer to Chuke now.
