>>24585876
nah i watch a lot of similar ones theyre kind of cumfy

>>24585612
i often see blobs of text that are really kanji only
does grown up japanese just drop particles because "you can tell" or am i retarded

this was actually a lot of fun really enjoyed it

also i really dug the op and the intro for some reason, i watched it all 12 times lol

btw a live action version of this is apparently coming out, no idea how they're gonna do the humor i feel like it cant possibly work with actual japanese actors lol

>they made a live action mob psycho
what the fuck

like live action japanese is gonna be able to match the 2nd best shounen heh

lmfao look at this stupid shit

>>24586024
japanese people look so dumb lol

>>24586058
Bitch you better say Hunter x Hunter is the best shounen.

>>24585981
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Xy-gfFBlk
im sorry for all the posts but i cant stop laughing at how fucking godawful this is, they lifted lines directly from the anime and its sooooo bad

Hunter X Hunter is the greatest literary work of the 20th and 21st century. It is flawless. The apex of modern litterature. Question is - will Hunter X Hunter be studied like the many works of previous philosophers like Kafka or Nietzsche? Will reading Hunter X Hunter be mandatory when studying to get a major in philosophy?Chimera Ant Arc was Universe-tier. It cured my porn addiction and took me off the path of sure self-destruction much like Grave of the Fireflies helped me stop smoking and being racist. The rest of the show was great but I fear the author blew his load with CA and will struggle to even reciprocate the same level of genius, thus the incredibly drawn out hiatus.Hunter X Hunter is not only the greatest manga of all time, but its fanbase upholds its flawless quality by always being mature when everyone else is chimping out around them. Moeshitters have lost their composure a long time ago, while we are still here carrying ourselves in a professional manner.The whole concept sounded intriguing, but I didn't believe it could be watchable at all. I mean, a fight that lasts an hour in real-time stretched to around twenty-five episodes sounds like painfully, unbearably, titanically slow pacing. But everyone seemed to rave about it, and I was just so curious, so eventually I caved in and begun my 148 episode Hunter x Hunter journey about two-months ago. In total, I watched more than one hundred twenty-minute episodes of anime just because I wanted to watch the second half of the Chimera Ant arc.

I just finished 135 yesterday, and I'm probably not the first person to ever say this, but this arc is fucking great. It's better than great. It's the best fucking thing ever.

The thing that most struck me is how the entire arc felt like one long work of literature, like a 19th century baroque novel or a Shakespearean tragedy. It's rife with symbolism, irony, themes, and felt appropriately mature and tonally rich. Some of the passages spoken by the narrator were so beautiful and memorable (e.g. the humans in the sky line), and the narration served to create the feeling that I was reading some intricate tapestry of prose. I loved how tragic and anticlimactic the death of Meruem was, because it was appropriately Homeric and richly meaningful in tandem with the themes presented by the arc; and it's because of this that I speak of him in the same way I do as Macbeth, or Oedipus, or John Milton's Lucifer. Some scenes, like the match-cut of the boots stomping on the insects between the Rose bomb used on human cities spoke to me on a visceral level.

I had a quick rudimentary thought during the closing episodes that you could probably interpret the Chimera Ant arc as an allegory for the history of Imperial Japan, from its industrialization and expansion in the nineteenth-century by copying the powerful West, to its nuclear demise and subsequent incorporation into the vast global economic hegemony of the post-war US.

i have achieved peak sperg mode these past 3 days with these words

>>24585978
yes, but only in the form of my world famous anime cards. such a thing which causes convulsions in miaers the world over. such a beautiful concept engorges the essence of my manhood.

ugh gross...

>>24586116
when he starts throwing these empty canisters

you'd really need a big ass hollywood budget to not make mob psycho look goofy as fuck but it'd still be shit

there really is no reason to adapt most shit into live action, the transition just doesn't work without the hyperstylization of the original medium

>>24586103
>>24586085
The djt hxh era is over you gotta let it go

the first japanese thing i ever watched was the live action death note cause my dad downloaded it and thought it was cool lol

>>24586184
but that came out so recently.

its kinda crazy how few romance shows there are where the characters actually date during the episodes

>>24586106
post some of them

>>24586199
im talking about the ones from 2006

>>24586116
why do they even bother? the only things that made mob so good was the sakuga and the charm of the artstyle. you can't replicate that in live action. just make a new ip or something, retards

watching something like death note raw and feeling good
then going to shit like youjo senki and feeling like shit

>>24586176
that's because anime is hyperstylization and idealization

>>24586205
its because dating isnt entertaining

>>24586223
this but with digimon and anything else that isnt intended for kids

>>24586199
there were japanese ones made around '06

the rakugo anime is pretty funny

>>24586234
dumb

>>24586234
idk it beats both will-they-wont-they and courtship in shows. its weird cause it's extremely common place in western media, theres probably some reason why it isnt in anime

>>24586205
>ore monogatari
>oreimo
>kgne
>school days
>yosuga no sora (kinda)
>i assume clannad after story, never seen it
> haruka no himitsu
> chuunibyou
> nisekoi (kinda)
that is all i can think of

>>24586251
>it's extremely common place in western media
and there's a reason only western novels are actually good and not boring

>just read and watch more
If that worked, I'd have mastered the Japanese language years ago. Clearly there's something you're not telling me. I'm watching a jav right now and I barely understand anything

https://streamable.com/zl3adn

>>24586234
i don't get romance shows anyway, they always focus on superficial shit like elaborate dates, big quarrels or affairs, where the good part of a relationship are the simple daily things like having a breakfast together, seeing her do her hair before work, poking her side when she's reading and the smell of her hair while falling asleep

>>24586272
you probably didnt watch or read enough

>>24586272
you're probably low iq

>>24586278
or the taste of the toilet water after she takes a fat dump

>>24586272
how many vns and books have you read

>>24586289
and that's why you're alone

>>24586290
I'm reading Genki but aside from that none, why?

>>24586301
i'm alone because i'm obese

>>24586308
got a big fuckin belly laugh out of this one fuck me

>>24586272
you've probably really read or watched extremely little in terms of content hours

it's like people who say "wtf i cant lose/gain weight" and you find out theyre estimating their calories off by like 1000 a day

>>24586302
can't learn language from textbooks only, you need to consume actual media as well
i don't know how it's in other countries but i was baffled that our english courses didn't require people to read at least a single book per year even in high school. no wonder half the class finished hs barely understanding english

whens the shirobako movie gonna come out reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Alright at least recommend me a good visual novel then

>>24586247
>>24586251
dating is usually viewed as the prize. if your main character gets the prize too early you either lose your audience or your show is no longer about romance (ie clannad). thats why shows like toradora wait until the end. the love triangle hijinks is a goldmine for content and it builds up a large payoff at the end that leaves most normies satisfied.

feels good to be a plotfag

>>24586335
leyline

>>24586335
there is only one good visual novel and it is subahibi

jamal spoiled clannad for me so im prolly never gonna watch it plus i cant deal with the bug eyes

>>24586342
i don't care all i'm saying is good writing and directing makes the show good not that it has some surface level gimmick like "big robots" or "early dating" or something

>>24586335
lamune or mizuiro

>>24586342
I humbly disagree. The love triangle hijinks are not entertaining at all, and they are only used to milk the series

>>24586335
sayooshi

>>24586347
amen to that brother

>>24586335
steins gate is relatively easy
leyline is okay but the beginning is a bit tough for beginners and it's quite boring to be honest

>>24586353
good its trash watch somethin else

>>24586350
subahibi in total sucks in my honest opinion

I think that how good you are in a language ultimately does not matter. I think your ability to derive enjoyment from and utilize your language is what matters. Please keep having fun, DJT.

>>24586373
i didn't go through wittgenstein before reading subahibi : the post

>>24586367
Isn't steins gate really difficult? It's about physics and shit.

>>24586278
your average consumer watches these shows to be entertained, not to live vicariously through them like some fat autistic virgin.

>>24586356
youre right but most shows dont have the talent or budget for that. anime is a business. im not saying its a good thing, im just saying theres a solid reason for it.

>>24586361
considering some of the most popular anime is literally nothing but love triangle hijinks id say youre in the minority. businesses appeal to the masses.

>>24586395
The majority has a shit opinion. For an example, see dragon ball super.

>>24586385
>Isn't steins gate really difficult? It's about physics and shit.
kurisu goes into exposition mode sometimes but it's really not too hard

>>24586395
well i'm not a virgin and don't see point to most romance shows. unless it's comedic it's mostly borderline retarded drama

>>24586383
implying basic knowledge of popculture cliche philosophy isnt enough to already know every point this game has
also the ero scenes take up way too much of the game

>>24586276
i can relate to this

>>24586289
>>24586308
great posts bros rly enjoyed them

>>24586373
if you did not cry after zakuro got raped are you even human?

>>24586401
youre not wrong, im just saying they dont care what a niche minority thinks

>>24586403
then dont watch them?

>>24586403
you wouldn't be watching that garbage if that were the case

>>24586426
i don't, just speaking from experience when i tried few, what a dumb argument

do you guys think matt got bangs because we insulted his hairline?

The more I learn kanji, the more I hate kanji

>>24586438
im not making an argument. someone was wondering why they are like this and im trying to explain it.

>>24586441
he looks like he's in his 30s in this picture and he is like 10 years younger than me

>>24586441
That's a big forehead

the discord is popping and there's a 15 year old who knows more nip than most of you ever will

>>24586441
holy shit lmao

>>24586441
don't think that's a real picture if i'm honest.

>>24586467
5 year old Japanese children know more Japanese than me. So what? You think I'm discouraged by that?

>>24586414
i didnt cry but i did get pretty angry ngl
really only liked the denpa parts though

>>24586482
he isn't japanese though

"I need the structure of textbooks"
The language itself is nothing but structure

"But I like textbook learning"
The real question is - Do you like interacting with the language?

"I like knowing how the language works"
Then you are a linguist, not a language learner

fapped to that scene, seeing her in that state with the heavy breathing was quite hot

>>24586500
One of the biggest hurdles for immersion for beginners is the feeling that your progress does not depend on the amount of time you put into it.

Comparatively, a textbook or class curriculum lays everything out infront of you. So you progress at the speed of time you put into it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StkLx0e4f6c

>>24586515
for me that was the H scene that i could not read. i just rapid clicked through it.

>>24586516
Do not fear not understanding something. Rather, you should force yourself to increase contact with things you don't understand.

There's no learning in only aiming for what you're currently capable of.

>>24586539
you should retry it, it's a really hot scene

>>24586500
These posts have to be made by EOP. Any ESL would know that you need to study grammar.

*flips through pages*

i just dunning-kruger myself into believing i understand it

>>24586557
Until you do immersion, you're not doing your own work.
You're just collecting other people's information.

>>24586557
Learning a language means learning a million little things, yet grammar/curriculum focuses on only the important basic parts.
But if you don't know all the details it'll quickly show.

Many learners of Japanese know all the Months of a year, yet say dates in the wrong order.

>>24586564
Yeah no shit. How do you think immersion works? You're copying what other people do. Except you have to try and come up with the rules yourself. You're re-inventing the wheel when you could read a textbook

>>24586580
Using a textbook can be part of a study plan, but it is the beer you allow yourself to have regularly to take the edge off, and not the exercise.

A support for the work itself, whose neccesity has far more to do with person to person needs than effectiveness.

>>24586580
or do both you lazy retard

>>24586580
"I use a textbook to learn"

No, you use a textbook as Xanax to allow yourself to start the real learning.

There is no language learning inside a textbook in the same way a qualification does not count as work experience.

>>24586585
>>24586582
Concession accepted. I should use a textbook then

>>24586595
Ultimately what gets people there is immersion, i.e. interaction with the language, whether they focus on it or not.

So as smug as it sounds, if you got good it's because you were doing immersion.

how am i supposed to read when i don't know all the kanji and vocab yet? am i expected to literally look up every single word or kanji i don't recognize?

>>24586550
pass. honestly when they show up in the alley my heart dropped. then i could not stand the scene, and finally when she was counting the money then later screaming 私人間 i could not help but cry. and it wasn't just that is was everything leading up to that, and zakuro as a character. genuinely think you are a sociopath.

i think you would enjoy the first episode of mahou shoujo site.

I really would slap the shit out of that ugly ass gary ben guy

>>24586611
nah just read something easy and look up something once every few minutes or if you see the same thing multiple times

>>24586515
interesting

people itt always posting spoilers for shit without the tags it's very crude behavior

>>24586611
short answer yes
long answer yes but no

>>24586467
is this dude for real? i saw him in the discord but i thought he was joking, wtf...

imagining literally feeding my cock to mary

>>24586636
is it just some ajatt prodigy or what

was just thinking about how powerful the sunk cost fallacy is when i was starting. i had invested maybe 50 hours at most into anki and shit before i started reading and that was enough to con myself through the suffering by way of sunk cost lol

>>24586630
this is a subahibi thread, you should have read it bro. hurry up and watch it before you get more spoilers.

>>24586645
he mentioned discovering ajatt and mia like a year ago

>>24586655
i have absolutely no intention of reading it so i dont care i just think it's loutish behavior

>>24586645
At age 10, they call you a prodigy. At age 15 they call you a genius. At age 20, they call you ordinary.

i could prolly yeet jamal like 3 meters if i wanted to

kid's already read what probably 90% of the thread can't even attempt to lol

>>24586664
why don't you wanna read it.

>>24586657
just goes to show that when you're a little kid it's easy as fuck to learn a language

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcdYKxHT8kY

>>24586677
people kept posting spoilers so i already know what happens

>>24586678
i guess youre right but still, respect to him

what does mary look like when he's cumming

that guy probably started when he was 10 or something

>>24586670
post his vndb bro

>>24586690
give me a summary and i will tell you how off you are, also caring about spoilers is definitely double digit iq territory.

>>24586687
>hours sweating
kana

>>24586670
reading isn't an accomplishment though can he speak

>>24586711
i was just joking to make you reconsider your behavior. i actually dont want to read it cause it looks like shit and pretentious people always waffle on about it so it's probably garbage for midwits who think they're smart

>>24586726
if he's really 15 though, he passed the stupid hard quiz, how is that not an accomplishment ?

how do you know he's 15 did he post a pic of his ID lol

>>24586726
is this your cope?
lol

>>24586744
so did he actually prove he knows anything besides random kanji readings cause this dont interest me

>>24586749
i plan to start outputting in 10 months and am honest with myself about what i can and can't do and i don't just i can read this or that as proof i know japanese when i know i can't output

>>24586730
good thing for you is i am a very down to earth guy and liked it. i do not personally care for "depth", i just enjoy what i enjoy.

>>24586753
his status says he's reading fate rn, so i guess he's enjoying his vinnies

>>24586753
cope lmao

oh yes another eceleb to gossip about just what we needed after the last thread

gonna start watching some stuff raw from tomorrow

>>24586766
not a cope since i would shit on him in the gay kanji quiz lol

i mean you can read whatever you want with a dictionary that's why it's more important to be able to output as evidence of knowing anything

>>24586763
>he's enjoying his vinnies
he is 15 he should be enjoying his cunnies while it is still legal.

>>24586760
how is being able to read shit not proof that you know the language
sounds like cope to me

same

>>24586781
but if he can get those dumb kanji readings without a dictionary then he's probably doing fairly well...

Wow he's 15 and knows Japanese huh. He must spend all day immersing himself in Japanese.
When I was his age, I went out with my friends, played sports, flirted with girls, and had the occasional one night stand. Now I'm trying to casually learn some Japanese for an upcoming trip to Japan with my wife. But good for you kid.

what's the best comedy anime with jp subs available

>>24586805
lmfao

lmaoo cope

>>24586781
>you can read whatever you want with a dictionary
but he's doing it without one?
this is sad

>>24586799
if you use anki you can learn a lot of shit without knowing anything at all unfortunately like the french scrabblemaster

>>24586805
epic

>>24586806
kaguya-sama and it's not even close

>>24586812
oh well me too and i understand classical japanese perfectly.

>>24586817
thats true but i read his chat today and he deleted his old cards, he doesnt even have any mature cards yet

>>24586817
but he understands what he's reading?
love how this kind of shit has never been brought uo as an argument before lol, you're mad pissed that a kid knows more nip than you

>>24586832
>but he understands what he's reading?
not that i really care but how do you know? are you inside his brain?

i wish i could go back to 8th grade when i decided to go to a different school, and choose to keep going to the same school. i would have done so much better, since i am much better with people now than then.

>>24586832
as far as i'm concerned people who don't output are on my level so i just gotta yawn when another person who can't output claims to know japanese

>>24586832
>this kind of shit has never been brought uo as an argument before lol
you're obviously new this was a massive thing back when quizmaster was big shit around here havent you ever seen the pic of him shopped over the scrabble guy?

>>24586837
bro his status says so...

>>24586837
he discusses what he's read with others and there doesn't seem to be a contradiction in their understanding of the story?
what the fuck is this braindead jealousy laden argument

>>24586806
i checked and the only funny anime (milky holmes, ebichu, mitsudomoe) don't have subs so it's time you go raw

This is literally the worst general on all of 4chan

>>24586850
lmaoooooo
cope

this is what happens when you turn on jamal the discord trannies come out of the woodwork

>>24586858
i just said i dont care i just think its funny you're so certain. he might be reading fsn in english for all you know. theres a version that lets you switch between japanese and english with 1 button press

>>24586870
you haven't been to the ff12 general or the now dead gw2 general i take it

>>24586805
back when i was 15 years old i had no friends but also didnt know japanese and had just started watching eng subbed anime

>>24586806
i watch raw, but asobi asobase is the funniest anime none close.

>>24586821
mediocre as fuck

also anyone going to say "haha te funny goofy face lmao" that just means you lack the ability to understand the nuances of asobi asobase's comedy

>>24586874
he's posting screenshots though?
god this is so pathetic, you're literally just throwing out whatever you can out of denial

>>24586783
boipussy is better than "cunnies"

>>24586871
if he actually showed evidence of knowing japanese i might be coping but this is just weak

>>24586899
>he's posting screenshots though?
>theres a version that lets you switch between japanese and english with 1 button press
how does that go against what i said?

sad to see a grown man jealous of a teen like this

>>24586908
bro he passed their gay quiz, i'd like to see you do the same

the amount of cope in this thread

>>24586906
>reading japanese isn't evidence of knowing japanese
lol
>>24586908
how do you explain him having read shit without eng tls then? he's moving to muramasa after fate
god this is low

looks like you wanna cling to the next thread celeb which is just gay

>>24586934
>reading japanese isn't evidence of knowing japanese
everyone in this thread does that

>>24586947
>djt
>reading japanese
right

>>24586917
given he is cute and will end up being a good looking adult of a respectable height, then yes i am jealous. i only started at 19 and now about to be 22.

>>24586805
not even slightly jealous. actually much rather be me than you.

our boy japanesegaryben reads japanese and understands it

>>24586934
post his vndb bro

>>24586947
>everyone in this thread does that
with low level moeshit maybe
christ you're grasping at straws, this is pathetic

imagine learning japanese because youre a 30 year old boomer planning on making a 2 week trip there (prob not even to any small villages with no english speakers) instead of because youve been into translated anime and manga since you were a teenager and wanna get a bit further into otaku media

>>24586966
you said if you read japanese it's evidence you know japanese

>>24586962
cap

>a kid knows more nip than me? better hypothesize scenario after scenario to deny this
sad.

30 years old worried about if a teenager knows japanese... very strange

>>24586965
pretty sure he only discovered vns somewhat recently from what he said, could prolly ask for his vndb tho

yes i cope
got any problem with that?

jamal reads japanese but ya'll haters were claiming he doesnt know it earlier... bit fishy...

jamal doesn't know japanese ...

he reads bro...

>>24586990
jamal reads eng subs

would you spend 6 months learning arabic for a 1 week visit to egypt or a year learning russian for a 10 day visit to russia?

same

>>24586990
he reads eng subs and a ton of the vns he talks about have eng tls, the others are pretty much baby tier lending credence to the whole high beginner at best argument and i recall him being unable to say anything substantial about some vns when asked about them so

>>24587018
steve spent 4 months-ish learning romanian for a 3 day visit to romania

>>24587032
>a ton of the vns he talks about have eng tls

jamal was scared of taking the entrance N5 quiz LMFAO

love seeing jamal haters mind broken and resorting to just plain shitposting ｌまお

>>24587064
i'm not the guy who was eviscerating jamal earlier though, and even if, i find it convenient that he can't give answers to shit on the spot and leaves for hours before giving a response if ever all the time

>>24587051
>he wouldnt visit the great pyramids or the red square
lol@mr tourist only going to shitty "safe" tourist hotspots

>>24587075
at this point id be amazed if he could pass n5

cant wait to see what jamal thinks of our new e-celeb

>>24587220
theres not much there just a quick glance and move on now youve dwelled on it and immersed in it till its basically you now

The thing that triggers me the most about Japanese culture is the idea that I should go out of my way to show a higher level of respect to someone who is older than me, even if it's by one year. Is that real or just an anime thing? It just feels so bizarre to me to,hypothetically, be a Junior in High School and talking to a Senior with such reverence among other such examples.

>>24587233
well a 24 would not show reverence to a 25 year old , but highschool is different.

>be me
>studying japanese off and on for a few years
>earlier this year buckle down and learn about 1000 kanji

oof anon, what out that's clearly a cope post

im sure nuke could pass the quiz. doesnt mean he knows japanese.

there's going to be a second season?

what was the anime with titties in it that came out this season?

>>24587301
imagine learning a bunch of kanji readings just so you can have a conversation with a russian-german 21-year old doomer weeb who has r*ddit-tier taste in anime and isnt good at anything in life other than making flashcards


at least hes a based lolicon and hates brown people

>>24587380
the hard quiz? yeah man, im sure he could

>>24587383
4 days my dude

>>24587393
the entry quiz is only N5

just passed the n1 quiz on the server, what does that mean?

>>24587442
it means that you're still not as good as him, try haard

who are we talking about currently? i don't get it

>>24587446
native japanese people have been unable to beat that quiz before. is everyone who has better than a native?

>>24587452
based 15 year old in qms server that is better at nip than 99% of the thread

>>24587442
Final test. Say "Tongue punch my fart box" de nihongo

99% of japanese people*

>>24587457
but some 15 year old could? nice, cope harder bro

>>24587468
im just saying the quiz doesn't have much relation to how good you are at japanese since the majority of natives would struggle to pass it

cant wait for jamal to wake up and put this retard in his place

>>24587476
yeah fair enough but considering he is 15 and could pass that at all he's clearly on the path of big nip gains

>>24587478
he finally caught corona, and as an aged black male the chances dont look good

starting to feel like everyone is faking it and can't actually understand/speak this language

just had to drop 2 anime in a row one the first episode ぼくほんまついてへんな

this is a young man's game, bro

>>24587558
do like 3 days of real ajatt, like nothing but japanese, with out cheating, for 3 days. like watch 30 episodes a day type of grinding, you'll come out with a different opinion

whenever i see the word native i think of native americans

>>24587564
dont care

thanks for supporting me

what kind of posts do you care about? ill try to make a good one next time

>>24587577
cope?

what seems to be the general consensus on 1t or n+1/i+1 sentences? the djt guide mentions to add unknown words into an anki deck where as matt says to only add it if there's a single unknown word? why couldn't i just read and just add isolated or even sentences cards with more than one unknown thing? it seems like waiting to find sentances with just one unknown think would take forever to build your sentance decks up.

*add unknown words into a deck using yomichan

>>24587661
based

>>24587652
say fuck it and make any card you want at any time.. thats what i do, i see something cool and i go i want to know that and i add it however i think will be the best, with sentences or whatever if i only wabt to know one thing i put the one thing, if i just like the sound i just put the sound. each card has a personality and thus grows in your brain better

wow wtf just heard someone say とこしえ for 永久
gonna add this pronunciation to anki

when i see "native japanese speakers" i imagine people wearing straw skirts wielding huge spears except with chinky eyes saying random nip words like desu, kawaii, and touzen da

>>24587701
there's also とわ and とこしなえ

>>24587686
so it's okay to just add sentances to a deck if there is more than one word? currently the way i'm doing it is that i'm reading through japanese text and when i come across words that are unknown, i add them to my anki deck using yomichan and any unknown grammer is looked up but not memorised. currently they're just isolated cards but i feel like maybe i'm doing something wrong, everyone seems to have an opinion and i'm just trying to find an efficient way without getting analysis paralysis so i'm more or less just following the djt guide

>>24587722
yeah it's fine dude

>>24587714
lol at the guy who has literally no abstraction abilities

>>24587715
but are they also in use nowadays?

>>24587732
とわ is actually a lot more common than とこしえ. とこしなえ is one ive only seen once

>>24587724
ah i see, thanks i really appreciate it. some people seem to have really strong opinions about +1 sentence cards so i was a bit unsure.

>>24587734
angato for the insights anon
gonna keep an open ear for this word

>>24587743
you're probably more likely to hear it in song lyrics and stuff like that since its poetic

we need an mia interview immediately, matto-dono please

>>24587722
i mean i used to mine complete sentences i didnt know and it worked fine, i+1 might be a bit better but its not a game changer, it really doesnt matter too much in the end its more important to not give up and be consistent than anything

>>24587758
with whom?

>>24587767
read the thread, we've got a 15 year old "prodigy" now

i'm throwing in the towel bros... this language is impossible

mostly see 岡 in names of antagonists in vinnies

>>24587758
matto-sama onegaishimasu

So which cheap ereader is best for reading Japanese and sentence mining? I know some of the older kindles have problems with multiple dictionaries and some are harder to export sentences with than others

>>24587780
岡っ引き are the good guys though

What do you do when you get a mental block and can't get anki words of the session in your head?
Having this kind of problem,started recently and never used anki or any kind of flashcard.

>>24587785
i read that in agf voice

play rpg maker games

>>24587797
let's get both

>>24587760
yeah my worry is that trying to find +1 sentences in content that's also compelling might be difficult after a 2k deck or would go at a snails pace. i assume it's better to mine the whole sentence and put it into the anki card for a word you don't know rather than creating your own sentences for the word you found in the wild regardless of how complex the sentence is right?

>>24587803
ok but why play sad games like in your pic

>>24587807
yeah exactly, don't stress about it too much

>>24587812
theyre interesting

i only play happy shit cuz im a happy guy haha

i dno, i had 75% today but i will probably get close to 90% again tomorrow for no reason lol

they're fun

Brothas, I've just noticed I've spent a year reading h-manga and mining vocabulary off them, but I've still got no idea how to buy stuff or order food in restaurants properly, and I don't wanna end up like the tabetakunai poster.
First, if I wanna say "I'd like to have this [insert item name], please", would it be right to say "ご迷惑で無ければ、此のXをご注文したいということです。", or should I use something shorter and more informal like "X,一つ下さい。"?
Second, to ask for the price for stuff should I say "此のXはどれくらいの価値が有りますか？" or is there a better set expression to use?

>>24587833
really hope this is a reddit repost

only good things on that are steins gate and owarimonogatari

>>24587936
i just memorize readings not meanings

>>24587947
pretty sure he posted some shit like the two people working behind the counter started laughing at him which definitely didnt happen cause they dont do that in japan

>>24587807
>yeah my worry is that trying to find +1 sentences in content that's also compelling might be difficult after a 2k deck or would go at a snails pace.
the number of +1 sentences after even learning like 500 words is huge. i don't understand why you think this.

yeah thats like wearing an ss t shirt in germany

>>24587994
yeah sorry im not a plotfag

>>24588016
yea you're just a regular fag

how low does your iq have to be for the plot not to be the defining factor of quality in a work

>>24588003
theres nothing wrong with saying けっこうです if you dont want something in a conbini (like when they ask you if you want a bag or your food heated w/e) so the guy was just making up a dumb story but i really doubt you'd ever get laughed at in a konbini cause the people in there are dead behind the counter

>>24588026
it would have to be very low for you to think it is, at best you are like a 90 IQ star wars fan

>>24587926
yknow i really thought that was just a bit

>>24588026
i think fun can be created by a mix of things not belonging to the category of plot
it's important but not an exclusive deal

>>24588039
star wars is an example of a basic and boring story that someone who doesn't value story much would enjoy.

i will never understand stuff like しどろもどろ

>>24588029
i dunno if everyone is dead at a konbini, every time i visit japan i have at least a few konbini interactions about me being a foreigner, usually if its an older japanese person working there and not like a young indian lookin dude. i could picture someone being goofed at.

im not trying to find the meaning of life in a story lol? i like nice art, bad ass scenarios, i mean one of my favorite mangas is one punch and its devoid of plot

is korea worth visiting as a weeb? or not at all?

>>24588049
star wars fans are really invested into the story and the events that occur so they are peak plotfags

>>24588070
korea is like poland: a shitty and poor neighbor to two great countries that at some point used to belong to one and at another to the other one

your idea of a good story is sadly just some variant of star wars except its more convoluted or some shit. sad but true. any moment of enlightenment someone would have watching anime will likely come from something unrelated to the story

>>24588102
the plot: monster attacks, gets punched
technically youre right but thats as close to no plot as you can get except for just having people stand around

what anime even have good stories?

koe no katachi

>>24588129

>>24588151
its p good after all

>>24588122
>your idea of a good story is sadly just some variant of star wars except its more convoluted or some shit
there are stories simpler and more nuanced than star wars, which are influenced by starwars, and are better than star wars.
>any moment of enlightenment someone would have watching anime
you're a retard if you feel enlightened by any anime or any story. they are stories. if those stories involve carefully researched facts and data then you might be enlightened but you'd have been better off reading a paper or article. but i'm not aware of any that do. don't care what some professional writer's opinion on almost anything empirical is.

however the plot is the most entertaining aspect of the vast majority of anime. if you disagree you're a moe faggot retard

should i rewatch hxh and mine the whole thing bros

>>24588129

>>24588178
no

you're just soulless and seething that you cant achieve enlightenemnt from anime. didnt read btw

>>24588189
that ones a bit too all over the place at the end to be a really tightly crafted story like hxh

>>24588178

or just rewatch it more might be funner not cut up into pieces

>>24588175

>>24588222
howard please...

watched the wire. commonly referred to as one of the greatest tv shows of all time. didn't feel enlightened. why? it's just the opinions of a bunch of dumb(smart)ass story tellers. how on earth could i be enlightened by that? i'd sooner ask a criminologist's or statistician's views on the same topic. and let's just say a lot of them wouldn't agree with the wire's portrayal of what causes racism, gang activity, corruption, brutality, etc.

i'd sooner watch mob psycho season 2 than the wire. it's more fun.

Im going to watch hxh through subs2srs like brittvsjapan did

>>24588229
i remember watchign this when it first came out what a classic

>>24588222
good catch, i didnt read their post so i didnt catch that what an idiotic statement

>>24588229
looks terrible

holy fucking based

every story is just pic related

>>24588234
yeah generally the western audience will call literally anything pseudointellectual "the bestest thing evar" but listening to their opinions is one of the silliest things you could do

>>24588206
not sure what you mean by cut into pieces, am i getting memed?

the wire is definitely better than any anime ever made except for hxh but not because you'll "learn anything" from it, it's just more entertaining. like the sopranos and many other shows.
