>>21412751

everyone gave quiz-kun shit for being needlessly mean and aggressive but moetard literally tells people to kill themselves every other post
what's the difference here

>>21412761
everyone hates moe too though ?

>>21412756
these are fantastic
sasuga qm

>>21412756
imagine mining these useful words

>>21412744
Tomorrow's word: 轅

Since when did djt start having so many name fags?

>>21412761
moe is there so he can remind everyone that qm isn't, after all, that unpleasant
Also isn't Moe a girl's name?

this nibba said he just reads the dictionary all day fuck

i hate all 4 of the frequent namefagging niggers i wish theyd all stop posting here but continued to live because wishing death on somebody is terrible

>>21412792
kys pussy

>>21412754
stop signing ur posts 4 the love of god its 2 painful to watch

>>21412790
no I don't anymore, but for a few months yeah that was what I did the most

>>21412792
lol u still mad about that one huh

I wonder what the amagami kid is doing nowadays

>>21412790
i read a couple dojg entries whenever i have downtime at work

棚からお皿を掴んでいる
I still don't think anything was wrong with this, if you are narrating your own activity as you are gripping it

>>21412800
prolly quit doing anything with japanese and just joined the 野球部 like angel beats guy

>>21412798
huh mad about what? i'm just better than you

I love DJT because the way it tries to put me down is super arbitrary
on the one hand they tell me I mine all this super rare shit that I will never see again anywhere
and then they tell me everything I mine is baby shit I already know
make up your mind lmao

djt the eternal beginner
in 5 years he'll still be posting you dont "need" anki so dont use it bro

I love DJT because I get to watch autistic retards ruin their lives
with things such as pointless obsession with an internet forum
and flunking out of university because of it
its fucking great lmao

>>21412761
there's no difference moefag is quiz's bootlicker and also a dipshit

imagining this dude saying 皿を掴め instead lmfao

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrfMAYDAnl8#t=270

hey I'm not flunking out I told you I got my shit done what's your issue

As a beginner, what should my strategy be when reading? I just started Aonatsu Line and it seems pretty easy so far, but my vocab is weak enough that I am looking up every single word in each sentence. Do I just keep doing this?

>>21412830
Mine words on anki.

not really a bootlicker just respect our guy quizmaster as the only other person who will learn japanese and sending plebs into a state of cope and frenzy with his presence

>>21412814
At least they're passionate and the thinking is diverse. I take it with a grain of salt though because everybody here has different goals, perspectives, and whatnot.

>>21412796
& I did this as a beginner more or less. It was a lot of fun since I got to see all those interesting kanji, feel their history and so on. Daijirin was really good in that regard because the language is not as overly modern (it's more intelligible but less fun) as in Daijisen and the use examples are just nice. The dictionary I still read deeply right now is the 角川新字源 (2017) which is a dictionary of kanji. I have a vague memory that kanken 1 guy said it was the best, so I bought it a couple months ago. I don't know if it really was that dictionary, but it is a fun and educational one to read.

>>21412814
If you are qm and the deck from the quiz is yours (which is how it is in my head) then I wouldn't have called that baby level. It's more like educated adult level. I do think the difficulty could go up but it'd quickly cross into literary wankery. Also, I'd fail that one hard, due to not being a literary wanker.

>>21412830
u dont have to look up anything if u dont wnat to

a lot of scrubs dont realize its ok to just sacrifice most of the text in favor of what u can find comprehensible or u otherwise feel more intrigued to look up

if the text ur dealing with is so above u that u actually are just looking at nothing but incomprehensible text then u need easier text and dont worry i got what u need

Nope just checked he's watching the news.
>It feels like I'm definitely at a point where I can read pretty much anything I want
This is your average ajattard.

>>21412845
that book is hard to understand dont link it as an example it has some advanced grammar and all hiragana is hard

>>21412845
I have literally never read before and only got to 500 cards in core6k before burning out. I’m giving reading a try.

>>21412851
how much eng subbed anime have u watched lifetime

>>21412858
I’m well above 10k hours

>>21412851
Do both. Srs is useless on it's own, just reading is less efficient.

carpe saram

>>21412865
whats ur top 3 anime or just any 3 of ur favourites

also if ur to be believed then yea guess u gotta slam ur head into some shit till it starts to become familiar

shouldnt be hard if uve watched that much anime

My favorite anime is 銀河英雄伝説 now
did I tell you guys I finished it or did I forget
it was really great

not u the guy whos actually watched a lot of anime

>>21412865
so less than one piece

There is some scenes I got saved and sometimes just watch in repeat cuz they are epic like this one https://streamable.com/rkln2 man I love it

man(child) watches 10k hours eng subs still cant learn japanese
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44z4vr2Kf9M

>>21412881
Evangelion, Penguindrum, Flip Flappers

>>21412895
lol reminds me I commented on that

>>21412894
woo I can understand like 50% of this

>>21412894
the fuck
待て and カンパイ was the only the thing i understand from that...

>>21412894
https://youtu.be/w7q0XhoE_0o?t=49

They completely ruined this scene in the remake by the way. They didn't understand what made the original great whatsoever now it's this generic anime shit.

>>21412846
fucking deluded as shit - "i can definitely probably read pretty much anything i want no problem, but the only difference is i need a dictionary most of the time, need to be connected to the internet to search grammar that i still suck at and slightly more difficult texts remain annoyingly incomprehensible. overall im happy i sacrificed every waking hour of the past year and a half to achieve this level that somebody could have achieved with 2 hours a day of decent study tho."

>>21412928

moetard I can't accept you on my side as long as you are an RTKtard I hope you understand

>>21412936
pic related mostly

i already did rtk i cant just stop being tarded

>>21412919
>fucking deluded as shit
i've noticed that from just about every single cultist from the new generation. basically the patreon cultists. they read an hour a day, watch anime an hour a day, spend the rest of it listening to japanese as background white noise, and then after 18 months they're suddenly completely fluent and can pick up some random book and say "i just understand it" on video.

What children books should i read to learn japanese?
any in epub format?

>>21412962
There is a ton on amazon for a buck. I read about 20 when I started. Graded readers and folk tales are good to start too. You really get lacing of the culture with those.

>>21412970
i don't want to cry like a little girl

>>21412970
this is pretty good thanks jamal senpai

>>21412975
I actually read worthless and invaluable the first time and had to consciously go over it again till I managed to read what it said no clue what is wrong with me

what I suppose valuable and invaluable is both positive huh

>>21412841
Example of how a kanji dictionary is fun and useful (for me): I was having trouble understanding why the reading for the name 師房 was もろふさ (as borne by 源師房, みなもとのもろふさ) because I couldn't connect 師 with もろ. But with this dictionary you can both see how the word originated and evolved and that it indeed has the meaning that suits the Japanese word もろ; and then you can have fun reading about the various words that start with 師 so you can get an idea of how this character has been applied in different ways by the Chinese.

>>21412995
man eigo is impossible

>>21412970

how you know if you're actually translating this correctly in your head?

>>21413014
you're not, don't worry

>>21413014
dont translate

if u have to ask u arent

>>21413020
Not even him but what happens if you're stuck in a habit to translate, how do you break it?

>>21412894
this is one of the shows I most look forward to rewatching when I can understand a lot more

>>21413014
You don't want to translate you want to feel the words on a deeper level, or what they call mentalese. Your brain doesn't actually think in words, so when you say the word in your thoughts you should get feelings, visuals, maybe related words but use japanese if you can instead of english. That's why so many people get a huge progress spike when they switch to monolingual. I've been trying to switch to mono for months, but yea you read a sentence over and over till you get it, if you really understand the words.

>>21413030
LoGH is my 2024 goal.

>>21413031
monolingual is a meme

>>21413029
idk dude i remember getting really sick of trying to translate and just said fuck it and little did i know it was that easy

>>21413041
everybody I've seen get good at their l2 swears by it

>>21413037
10 non-moe eroge and you can watch logh

>>21413062
I got 2 down. Gotta do another 2 per year to hit my 2024 goal.

>>21413041
English is my L2. i couldn't be assed to translate anything I say or hear others say, or read, into my slavic tongue that i was born into. in fact I'd have to be a genius of some kind of enormous brain ability in order to be able to translate large volumes of english or japanese delivered at normal speed as they enter my consciousness. monolingual is just what anyone does, who indeed -does- it. but starting out monolingual may indeed not be the best approach.

>>21413041
idiot

>>21412975
she looks like the kind of girl that befriends nerds and shy guys while banging the guy that bullies them on the side and sees NOTHING wrong withit and then she fucking messages me like I will fucking forgive her and the she shows her true colors by telling me how she only wanted to help me out of my hole because we were friends since middleschool but she fucking knows all she had to do to prevent me from becoming what I am today is to reciprocate the feelings but NOOO she had to fill her hole with Anthony's dick, 2 years after the same fucking guy sent me to the hospital and she came visiting every fucking day because I thought you care, but I fucking noticed when you told me how you went to his house to tell him to stop bullying me, at that fucking moment I fucking knew how worthless you were Michelle, you probably fucked him as a way to maybe stop him from bullying me rigth? dont fucking talk to me.

>>21412993
same actually.

>>21413085
dang dude

How many hours should I literally read per day to get good?

>>21413085
everything will be daijobu everything will be daijobu everything will be daijobu everything will be daijobu

just fuckin do whatever man if ur hearts in it itll work out

>>21413029
when ur a complete beginner u cant help translatin words or pieces
when u start to get ur babys first nihongo basics down through a few hundred hours of read more ull have enough of a grasp on ez shit that ur brain is satisfied with the nihongo it got and doesnt try to interpret it through english
so unless ur actively tryin to typeset scanlations of everything u read itll fix itself

>>21413105
3+ hours.

>>21412961
that stupid ash guy who thinks he's ripped is the worst one, reckons he didnt even immerse, just did flashcards and can now "read anything intended for adults"

They must open like the first page, recognise a bunch of the kanji and pat themselves on the back and think "now's my time to get my interview with matt"

>>21413137
>when u start to get ur babys first nihongo basics down through a few hundred hours of read more ull have enough of a grasp on ez shit that ur brain is satisfied with the nihongo it got and doesnt try to interpret it through english
lol no way

>>21413145
? whats ur issue

>>21413140
imagining calvin recognizing 兄 on the telebi and goin im doing it im learning japanese LEts GOooOO

did no one ever cap that tweet i know 1 of u did

steamなしには日本語まで英語の字幕からdangranropa代わるってどうする

a few hundred hours is really undershooting it i think

a few thousand hours is more reasonable

>>21413138
Literally 3+ hours? I've been trying to aim for only 3 hours each day

It's simple. Eventually you just know the words the exact same way you know a word in english. If you are translating it, then you don't know it yet. If I say kawaii or daijobu you don't need those translated right?

>>21413138
not happenin
I'll give you 32 minutes max

keep in mind im also including like any video game time with text and like browsing the net in that few thousand hours

>>21413163
it obviously depends on the time frame my dude. 3 hours of reading + hours of listening a day and you'll get pretty good in a couple years. and you'll have reached the point where learning is fun a long time before that, which is really the question all beginners should be curious about.

>>21413172
the better at jap[anese u get the more u should start to loathe trying to translate

eventually u just wanna throw the crutches down and just hobble lookin like a retard but at least u feel so much less encumbered

Ya'll my bitches and nihongo is my belt.

>>21413179
>where learning is fun
When does this mystical period occur?

First time playing this thing.

real talk is it "jamal fan" or "jamal's fan"? I just don't understand with my current English ability.

>>21413232
former makes more sense in this context, as a title/handle

>>21412895
This nigga spent too much time thinking about sakuga and directorial styles to notice basic Japanese phrases and vocabulary.

>>21413232
jamals

>>21413238
I see.

>>21413240
preferable to "jamal's", for sure

>>21413159
u should prob notice some shits gettin more automatic before that
enough progress to tell u that its all gonna be ok in the end and to stop worryin about it anyway
>>21413232
ur askin if its cherry or raspberry what do u want to put in ur mouth thats up to u

Gonna start doing anime cards for the first time this monday. Can't fucking wait to become a dekiru in matter of months!

>>21413226
When you start making quiz anime cards

>>21413253
ah shit, never gonna happen then

>>21413252
グッドラックだぜ

>>21413252
it works tho. just the process of hunting for words instead of letting morphman calculate what you should learn makes you pay close attention to your anime.

The older djt threads were better.

looking forward to getting through a couple more sentences tomorrow! goodnight guys.

Lmao @ everybbd in this thread lol.

Nah I think I will start mining right fucking now.

>>21413288
based. Angel Beats is good to mine.

I have this problem were I tend to repeat what I hear and read things out loud. I know I shouldn't since matt says outputting early can hinder your skills

>>21410674
so I can send quof screenshots of the latest way djt managed to get worse

>>21413307
can u not create a counterexample to my assumption that no one is this fuckin dumb

>>21413355
how many of ur shots am i in anyway

>>21413372
i send him every single tobiden jikkyou update

Feels like whenever I make an anime card, I still mess up with hearing/reading that word in a new context.

>>21413377
im the second biggest lowercase shitposter u got me confused for the first

>>21413381
oh i tend to ignore you, boring middle quality bracket content

i wanna play tobi's den but there's just not enough time in this world
god i wish i had started learning as a kid instead of as an adult

>>21413384
fair enough maybe when i know nihongo ill deserve to be capped

wtf?!?! okay you lost me now with this crossdressing pedo shit FUCK japan!

I wish I had spent 3 months learning RTK instead of Japanese so that I could relate to the retards that also wasted their time. As it is right now, I can't understand them and their sunk cost asses at all.

>>21413453
idk what "hellven" is or whomst you're talking about

>>21413378
is it a sentence card

Can someone other than quiz tell me why I should be doing quiz anime cards over just vanilla yomichan one click rapid cards?

Anyone got Nukemarine's or Matt's paywalled N3 Tango Sentence deck?

am I stupid or does that the new library page of the guide offer fewer formats for novels compared to the old page? that's an inclusive or so you can say both if you want

>>21413492
Because they've got pretty pics and sounds.

>>21413492
the more time you spend sitting through the same hundred or so lines of animego over and over, the longer you can put off actually having to try reading something

>>21413494
The N3 study guide AND quiz is reading one of the 易しい VNs on Jamal's chart.

wtf this anki rep calculator says that after a year i'll be doing 3409 reps per day on my mining deck with 93% retention! that can't be right

>>21413516
that's because it's BS

>>21413516
Is that the mathvsjapan one?

hello minasan what are your thoughts on the author 入間人間?

>>21413534
i was playing with this one
https://pheartheceal.github.io/anki-optimizer/

Is there a resource of books in increasing "difficulty"?
I mean, from children's books on up.
Instead of kanji count, I want to take them and compare the specific kanji to what's done in my anki deck.
Essentially, I want a percentage for each specific book/manga/LN for what I would know.
Or is there something that does what I want already?

>>21413574
mrophman can do this.

aspirations: read a children's book

stay classy jpee

>>21413543
lol this is a great example of why it's dumb to touch the interval modifier setting unless you know exactly what you're doing

>>21413577
That's not what that does.

>>21413581
i think the site is fucked up or something because when i set my retention to what it is the modifier drops to really low and it gives me an ungodly amount of reps

>>21413574
there's no way to calculate this because the great majority of language knowledge can't be analyzed like this, not even words

>>21413574
a great way to increase your overlap of anki cards vs. content you're reading is to mine words from the content you're reading. by reading. you've gotta read

what the fuck is this thread

>>21413543
>>21413589
that site is basically a rng lol ur not the first to complain its totally fucked

>>21413574
Make a frequency list using the text analyser. Then make csv files for that and the list of words on your anki deck that have been gone through so far (which should be the non-hidden cards.
After that, use import csv on python (check this thread here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38996033/python-compare-two-csv-files-and-print-out-differences/38996374)) to compare the two lists of words, and get another file which will get you the number of non-overlapping words between each list.
Divide the number of non-overlapping words by the number of unique words in the frequency list to get a percentage of how much you don't know, and subtract that from 100 to get how much you already know.

>>21413593
I never claimed that it would be perfect. I get why you would say that.
But at the very least it's a better metric than kanji count.
>>21413615
It's a waste of time to try to read something if you can't understand 99% of it.
Same if you already know 99% of the words.
if the purpose is language learning

>>21413645
>forgetting to run the decimal up two places and adding a percentage sign to switch decimal to percentage
Nigga u dumb.

>>21413655
theres a wide range of compelling content inbetween understanding 99% and not understanding 99%

>>21413655
i can understand 99% of what i read as long as i have a dictionary :)

>>21413645
>using import csv instead of import pandas

>>21413664
That's what I'm trying to say desu.

Which counters are used for stars of the fusion variety and which counters are use for stars of the drawn variety?

>>21413516
That's why I make a new deck every 2,000 words. After I mature everything or get it like 95% I delete it. If I forget a word by not see it again it my content then it wasn't meant to be. I'm not going to review cards till eternity.

>>21413740
I've been unintentionally doing this exact thing

Oh man oh man. I was playing Yakuza 0 and picked 皿を笑う in a substory dialogue option and laughed for literally 3 minutes at what unfolded. Damn I haven't laughed this good for months. What a great game.

what's so fun about a plate

>>21413402

>>21413883
mama ga yuurei ni natta or something like that

Why 綯 is read なえ?

>>21414078
Comes from なう that has been applied to this character. なう means to make a rope out of individual threads. The historical spelling for this verb is なふ. Related word is なわ "rope", historically spelt as なは. 縄を綯う（なわをなう） = to make a rope. 綯 as なえ seems to be a made up name, hence the え form for no particular reason other than that it sounds cool. Imagine the old kana spelling for it as なへ.

As an actual name なえ exists, but the prototypical kanji spelling for it is 苗. To me it sounds like "young grass" or "young rice" so... I'd say it's feminine. Related name is 早苗(さなえ), which despite appearing in Touhou is a real life name. さ is a prefix but I dunno what it means. So, anyway, the best way to think of that 綯(なえ) name is that it's a cool spelling for なえ, and this spelling is obtained as described in the above post. The slight weirdness of the spelling choice is because first there was なえ, and then there was the idea to spell it in a Cool way. That is how I would think of it.

The apparent contradiction between my posts is because it took me until I already sent the first one to notice that なえ exists phonetically as a feminine name, so my second post is meant to correct my first post. God, I am lazy.

>>21412761
Moetard is just a pathetic Jamal-wannabe without an ounce of originality. He's not even worth getting worked up about. Just filter and forget.

>>21413740
Wasn't Matt (or I guess Yoga, in reality) supposed to be working on a death point add-on that would auto-delete cards once their intervals reached a certain level?

Is it paywalled behind the MIA Patreon or did they just never end up making it?

Was digging through the archives and came across this from back in January:
>>20566326
>>/jp/thread/S20564856#p20566326

Has anyone used any of these add-ons? They sound good, but are they in practice?

>>21414229
No need to. You can manually type prop:ivl>1100 in the browser and delete the cards that will pop up. An addon like this would be too easy to make and thus to hard to sell to patrion fags.

>>21414265
This is why they indoctrinated the MiA fags to care about pitch accent so they can sell a useless add-on cuz that's where the hole in the market was

>>21414297

Yeah, one means "got lost" and the latter means "became a lost child"

been doing ajatt for close to 18 months by now and honestly feel pretty sad that i picked japanese due to the stigma around it and the shitty culture of people learning it. is korean any better in this regard? does anyone here have experience with korean? if so how is it? btw still dont regret learning it this far since i enjoy japanese ilteratture and raw anime/jdramas
>inb4 nice blog

dont be a calvin

>>21414475
also is korean more viable for getting a job as a translator?

just be yourself

>>21414475
Your most base assumptions about it are likely correct. Yes it is easy, no it isn't particularly easier than Japanese, stigmas matter less than your own personal charisma, no there aren't more jobs for Korean to English translators.

>>21414475
what the fuck are u learning a language for if u care about any of that shit

>>21414536
>Yes it is easy, no it isn't particularly easier than Japanese
this point doesn't matter as I haven't found jap that hard and also didn't mention difficulty in my original post
>no there aren't more jobs for Korean to English translators.
how do you know this

>>21414540
I'm only wondering cause i want a job as a translator at some point.

>>21414541
Japan is a much larger economy overall with a larger population that does much more trade with Western Superpowers than South Korea. I don't have translator job statistics on hand but I can make a well-educated guess as to our economic needs.

>>21414541
Not him, but isn't it just logical? They both export tech, so there's always gonna be a need for at least some translators for both. But Japan also exports a lot of entertainment in the form of anime, games, and light novels. The only entertainment exported from Korea is K-pop, which doesn't really need to be translated to be enjoyed.

>>21414562
But there are also a lot more people learning Japanese as well (of course most never go beyond n4-n3, but still). Do you think this cancels it out?

>>21414574
Accounting for those stigmas you mentioned earlier producing people who are undesirable in the workplace? Who can say?

At this point I'm learning japanese just to beat qm in the near future.

Is there a guide to make believable made up japanese names?

>>21414627
They have some of the worst name diversity next to Arab-speaking countries. Just mash together a name from the most common names list and no one will know any better.

What most of these guides fail to mention is that you cannot claim fluency in Japanese until you find men attractive. If your fantasies do not include being held in the strong embrace of your better half, secure in the knowledge that he will love you forever then you just do not know Japanese. It's that simple.

>>21414642
yea ok but I don't like guys with gei names like baruto

When did you realize you were never gonna be able to learn Japanese? For me, it was 2 posts ago.

>Japan is a much larger economy overall
Also worth mentioning that the Korean economy (and country in general) is corrupt as fuck and dominated by enormous conglomerates (chaebol), with Samsung alone making up literally 1/5 of the entire country's GDP.

>also i have not started pitch accent at all
It's too late for you. You'll never make it.

remember that time matt misread a kanji at one point during a 90 minute video? what a fuckin dekinai phony am i right? i of course have never misread a common word before in my life.

>>21414967
China's glory days are over. Growth is slowing down, Winnie the Pooh is bringing back all Communist shit back and has set himself up as dictator for life, anti-foreigner rhetoric is being stepped up to distract people from this, and the world has gotten fed up of giving China a free ride with extremely favorable trade deals only to get no thanks or goodwill back in return (only copyright theft and industrial espionage).

I just learned a word for artist, but it looks like it has a connotation that's related to painting more than digital art. If I wanted to compliment a strictly digital artist by calling them a godly artist, which word for artist should I use?

just use the word "artist"

So アーティスト would be the best choice?

im saying to use words u know so its more authentic to u

if u need to idiot social media posts ghostwritten u have no business writing them

if u need ur*

btw dont write it in katakana cuz typically thats more 2 do with music

O-okay...

why not take it as a opportunity to go look at what types of positive comments other people post and see what u can imitate : )

By "experimental scheduler", is this referring to the "Experimental Card Ease Factor" add-on, or is it referring to something else?

Nevermind, I accidentally found the answer while reading something else about Anki.

i saw this yesterday in angel beats.

Finally caught up with my anki vocabulary deck.Only needed 227 days I have to admit that it was really boring. Now learning will become fun! Just reading and listening and mining whatever I don't know

>>21415389
I hope you do anime mining >>21412756

なんかエロい

>>21415389

>>21415391

>>21415393
I don't see Unity anywhere. What are you referring to? Ubuntu?

>>21415427
oh my bad it looked similar to unity but i see it's gnome now.

are there japanese NEETs doing AEATT, working their way up to 10,000 monolingual english sentence cards in anki so that one day they can watch south park and rick and morty in their original languages?

>>21415463
English is one of the easiest languages.
There is no need for that.

>>21415463
yea

my sweet summer child

>>21415476
not for japanese people retard

>>21413587
It has a built in database analyzer. It builds a database based on what you know on anki. You can load a text file of the script of a book, anime, etc. and it will tell you what words you know and which you don't. m*tt has a video on this.
https://youtu.be/cOCisbsnYJs

this has good DJT meme potential.

>The 10,000 most frequent words accounted for 92% of all occurrences, the top 5000 accounted for 86%, the top 2000 accounted for 76%, and the top 1000 accounted for 68%.

then why after learning 2000 of the most frequent words, and an additional 1000 words of random frequency (maybe within the top 5000 or so) do i feel like i only understand 10% of what i'm reading.

Not even 40k gives you 100% lmao

>>21415585
Every sentence has words you know and also words you don't know. The words you know will keep repeating but the missing element in every sentence won't.

>>21415585
Every single piece of text that you come across is radically different in terms of what words it uses the most and how much it's biased towards or against using common words.
http://wiki.wareya.moe/Stats

>>21415585
Also the most common words carry the least meaning because they're the least "unexpected". Like stuffing a する at the end of a sentence doesn't really tell you anything.

this would be a great vn story

>>21415916
it was all the neighbourhood kids torturing this girl for fun

>>21415912
You need to make more anime cards. Luckily you don't have to do anything but anime cards because with enough anime cards you will reach proficiency. Try gradually going for harder anime if you are bored watch military stuff like youjo senki, logh or other anime with a bit more advanced shit maybe Katanagatari. Death note is good too point is don't stick to easy shit because you'll progress slower.

it wasnt until the dude was basically dead that the 1 bitch waddled up and then waddled right the fuck back like the coward she is

why is this the implication ppl could be running to the nearest koban are calling 119 theres a billion things u can do that doesnt involve getting in melee range unarmed

shit u can just fuckin scream this dudes literally fuckin stabbing the sHit outta some dude in the middle of the got dang street and maybe hell aggro u instead and u can kite long enough for the keisatsu to arrive lol.

>>21416066
what if you have no arms?

This is why I would never understand Japan, or most of Asia for that matter. Cowards, each and every one of them. You do that in the United States, the guy with the knifes would have been stopped by bystanders ASAP. And not only in Japan: Australia, Germany, England... The only heroes in Japan are in anime.

>>21416066
there are no stones on roads in Japan like in your 3rd world America

u might not save him but at least u fuckin did something

imagine if u did something that caused the dude to stab him a couple less times and he lived as a result how epic would that be dude

>>21416029

in other first-world countries this shit happens literally every day

It has several meanings, one of the meanings is that you think about something all day long.

And the other meaning is that you can't sleep the entire day from the morning till the evening.

>>21416137
u dont have to make up anything its fine to just accept u cant read it and move on

if u make up wrong names u r actually gonna permanently cripple urself once u start to become more familiar and cant block out how u chose to start remembering them lol

i dont even make up a burger name i just dont read them lol

this is actually pretty fun

If only guns were legal in Japan, someone could've shot him. All a disarmed population can do is sit back and watch helplessly and hope that the police arrive in time, but as they say, "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away", and that turned out to be right in this case.
