morbido guy popping off

>>25020197
lol

>>25020169
thanks

look at how many anime a day morbido guy watches and you'll see why he gets so mad about moe

morbido makes me think morbidly obese not joking

>>25020264
this is bullshit does toriyama advocate genocide because he depicted space alien frieza destroying namek?

piccolo legitimately abuses gohan by beating him up and leaving him alone in the jungle when hes like 3 years old

https://youtu.be/Tba9hWIqDiQ

>>25020592
you just don't understand togashi you don't get that togashi never wanted this to happen it's like he created a frankenstein and it was out of his control after chapter 1. that's what separates togashi from the rest

>>25020197
u have some sixth sense shit about my posts lol

had no idea morbidly obese guy hated moe so much

>>25020244
i watch like 6-10 episodes depending on the day, ive done 14-15 a few times when i was really into something but i just get bored before that usually. im not mad about moe btw good for him that he can watch that much, just really hate the dicksucker culture itt

>Text-based Sentence Card
>A sentence card with a written sentence on the front, and whatever is needed to understand the sentence on the back. Could be monolingual or bilingual. In the case of Japanese, the sentence on the front should be full kanji with no furigana. Text-based sentence cards do not have any audio on the front of the card. It can be useful to have native audio for the sentence on the back of text-based sentence cards, but it is not necessary.

>Audio-based Sentence Card
>A sentence card with the native audio of a sentence on the front, and a written form of the sentence plus everything needed to understand it on the back. Could be monolingual or bilingual. Audio-based sentence cards do not have any text on the front of the card.

im not actually doing 100 words a day i was just trying to fuck with yalls. but yes and recently ive just been going through all the 'classic' japanese authors like dazai, souseki, akutagawa (as i just posted) etc

i intend to read a lot more old shit and probably try and get my classical japanese level up to novel reading standard at some point so it's probably useful in some way. anyways im guessing you've only read stuff like こころ and 人間失格 which are pretty straightforward and without much obscure vocab (which is probably partially why they're still so well read)

is it the pole from int?

it might be reddit if i read nekopara in english but i read it after starting to learn japanese which makes me "based" not that i need to justify this to random faggot guy

>>25025225
A kid asked me if I like 熟女 「じゅくじょ」. I was like, “what’s that?”

Apparently it’s the equivalent of a “cougar” or an attractive mature woman. Teenage kids and their raging hormones lol

And the answer is, yes. Yes, I do.

not even a bad post lol hes probably better than most people here if he can hold a convo in japanese

>but I'm not sure if I should actually start commiting so much of my time to this, especially if it doesn't pay off in the end. I can barely understand 5% of the dialog in most shows.
why are these people so completely devoid of critical thinking

might watch dragon ball if it's easy enough

I just learn Japanese because memorizing kanji is fun.

>>25025362
>I can barely understand 5% of the dialog in most shows
Even if you have zero Japanese knowledge you should pick up more than that just from the context of what is shown on screen alone.

>>25025386
yea just make sure you don't watch dbz and you're good

>>25025482
why

>>25025482
z is okay just don't watch super.
I powered through that one at 2x playback speed.

I think everything after future trunks sucks.
His arc in super also was the only decent one.

i've read the entire dragon ball manga around 10 times which means i'm the ultimate authority on the subject and i say z is the best

used to not like nipples when i was a teenager but now i like them a lot

used to like prolapse and vore
now i like feet

>>25025688
in the manga there's no powerup and filler episodes so it's a lot better.

>>25025688
well i started reading it soon after i was able to read
whenever that was

used to also like western cartoon porn featuring pre-pubescent children
now im only into jcs

imagining forcing yourself to consume media to learn japanese while i just acquire it watching and reading stuff i love lmao

>>25026156
i've said since day 1 the story is boring until some great payoff in the last half or last third because you get to see how the setup in the beginning truly affects the characters. but the first half is only boring by my extremely high and refined standards. i'm sure if you push through another episode or two you'll eat up that generic shit.

yes generic shounen boy with generic shounen flashback when his back is against the spider ropes was so good omg episode 19 of kny was a top 10 anime episode of all time

but was it as good as when kirito used his nitouryuu for the first time

>>25026269
i prefer kirito in his current vegetative state.

why didnt these kamigami chink fucks finish the subs for durarara wtf

>subs
ngmi

so do you prefer to mine shit as you consume or make a list and add it to anki later

mining shit requires the press of a button so why would anyone wait

>>25026301
chink subs are full of mistakes anyways

i mine with a button then edit the cards later if needed

they dont really hate japanese media at the beginning, but theyre usually too dumb to understand what "acquisition through compelling and comprehensible and compelling input" is other than something vaguely related to watching anime without subs and making flashcards like khatzumoto/matt have told people to do, and think that if they use subs2srs+morphman enough times everything will eventually fix itself

can't believe i watched dragon ball (excluding filler) raw while doing rtk in the beginning. it was just white noise and it was hell. fuck matt.

also i accept i'm stupid. but it's the responsibility of thought leaders like matt not to encourage bad practices for we stupid people. luckily i'm here and you guys put me on the right path.

it's kinda hard

>>25028468
did you never hear about krashen's language acquisition hypotheses through matt/khatzumoto or just think of think "you'll know a word's meaning if you look it up, but otherwise just be doing near-random guessing if you don't look it up and try to rely on context instead?"

>>25028597
clench

>>25028587
so this is why he tells you to listen to stuff you dont understand huh

not him but the only thing i know of krashen is the spock video

>>25028637
when im his age i will know much more languages than him and ill be fluent

>>25028429
would be perfect if not for the oinking. so fucking annoying. is there anything else as good as pepper pig? really like the idea of burning out on some shitty kid's show rather than the shows I want to watch.

do people really waste time making sentence cards lol
like bruh just read more

krashen DOES NOT recommend hard shit from the beginning. i have watched like 5 hours of krashen's stuff. he says that we acquire language when we UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE
he gives that example where he points to his own hand and says in german that it's his hand
UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE!!!

>>25028695
how does that work past basic stuff like things colors etc?

do people really waste time reading lol
like bruh just make more sentence cards

>>25028637
thats not real is it lmfao

is low key anki a scam

anyone have a netflix account atm? if so could you please rip the subs for seasons 3 and 4 of durarara for me?

>>25028718
why would it work one way but not the other? if you read the subs you understand the message presented in the japanese sounds

>>25028724
acquisition takes place when you under stand at least two words in the sentence.

>>25028733
no, i've learned to read a language using anki in record time

the name is kinda scammy so i guess

>>25028733
ive been using it for a year and it seems to save time in anki without any problems

>>25028740
the right way to do it is watch an episode with eng subs first, then watch it raw. that way you have the gist of each sentence but won't be looking directly at the "translation"

which someone ripped the jp dub for atla on netflix and uploaded it on nyaa or something

>you arent paying enough attention to actually understand or all the people that watch subbed anime for years would be fluent now
yeah because they dont pay attention. if you actually paid attention to the sounds it would work.

when krashen points at his head and says "this is my head" in german, you can understand what he means because of the visual without having to be able to "parse it right" in terms of what hes actually saying specifically. you can just understand that whole phrase to mean what it means. it's the same.

been reading 闇雲 as あんうん for way too long

>>25028891
wtf

>>25028764
not strictly kids stuff but rather stuff that's got clear pronunciation and that has relatively easy to understand language.
anime, drama cds, documentaries, etc. can all be good if youre actually interested in them.
at the beginning everything's gonna be difficult af and not very entertaining so it be more comfortable to stick to dumb ecchi/sol anime thats got no plot.
after that you can move onto mahou shoujo anime and fantasy ecchi anime and stuff.
and then once youve actually got enough some basic vocabulary down you can try documentaries/youtube videos denying comfort women and nanking, and praising unit 731.
and then idk you can try reading dies irae and some other chuunishit.
but youll eventually end up going back to hometown (ecchi harem anime and lns) cuz there's no place like home

thread is fucking 芸

gonna play tsukihime and ever17 simultaneously
気圧 and 水圧 are scary af

I started studying Japanese when I was 15. I lived there from ages 25-35. My wife and kids speak Japanese all day long. I am aware of my American accent and have accepted it, and I know when I make mistakes right away after the fact, but I can never seem to spit it out perfectly the first time. Some times I feel fluent and even smarter than the native speaker I am talking to but more often than not I feel inferior and shy about how I sound. I just uploaded a video from 5 years ago to this thread. I’ll repost it here so you can hear how O sounded then. One big difference now, 5 years later, is I know more natural pitch accent because of my daughters -listening to them learn from nothing. I have given up trying to “think” in Japanese. Sometimes it happens but most of the time it doesn’t. I am pretty OK with myself now even enjoying my quirky accent and ability. I watch J-TV every day and speak it all the time. I could interview in Japanese and probably nail it, but I will always have a foreign sound and clumsiness with expressions. It’s OK though. Learning is a life long pursuit and I enjoy the ride.

I posted here like 3 months ago about the wall in my Japanese study and this is kind of a follow-up on that. I've gotten a lot of andwers telling me to do MIA, I read the Japanese Quick Start guide, but I'm not sure if I should actually start commiting so much of my time to this, especially if it doesn't pay off in the end. I can barely understand 5% of the dialog in most shows. Did you guys have a similar experience, and did it work out for you. Again, I'm asking because I'm preparing to do it seriously, so I want to know if I'll be wasting my time.

ya’ll niggers got some anger issues talking about slitting people throats and whatnot

nothing happens

>>25030838
Shingeki no Kyojin starts off with a roar- the first 2 episodes explode right out of the gate with high-octane action that also leaves mystery to draw the viewer in. Who are the titans? What is in the basement? Why is Eren's dad so creepy? All this and more the viewer asks themselves as the end credits roll for episode 2.

Then episode 3 and 4 jump in. It's a training scene for Eren and his friends, and it's dead slow in comparison. But that's ok- it's episodes like this that reinforce character development and get the plot rolling. And soon, the episodes with action will begin again, right? That High-Octane, bloody, gory action we've all been waiting for!

Well, it does. But then shortly after, it grinds back to a halt. Why do I bring up the first 5 episodes out of all things to mention about Shingeki no Kyojin? Because it perfectly frames the pacing of the entire anime. First you're baited with that sweet, bloody action that makes you just stare at the screen in amazement of the beautiful animation and heart-pumping soundtrack, and next thing you know you have to sit through an hour of people arguing over the same issue over and over before going back to the action. This would be fine and acceptable if it actually resulted in plot and character development going somewhere- but rarely this bickering between Armin and Eren result in anything productive.

Actually, Shingeki no Kyojin seems to show perfectly how to pull off the ILLUSION of plot and character development- Eren struggling with his inner demons despite somehow going back to square 1 every 5 episodes, the Basement which has been explicitly mentioned as having "all the answers" being completely forgotten about while the group goes out to hunt titans, and Armin rehashing what we already know to other characters every episode or two. All of this combined create a huge mess that on first glance seems like a deep and interesting story, but only through reflection of a different lens you begin to notice how shallow the pool you're standing in really is. The characters are shallow, the story tries to go somewhere but the characters almost seem to prevent it from moving at all, and at some points the story tries to go to too many places at once, just confusing the viewer until the next trippy action scene kicks in.

I like to compare Shingeki no Kyojin to a Michael Bay film. This also makes it easier to understand what I'm trying to say (and trust me, it's not your fault- I have a hard time expressing what I feel in words sometimes).

Imagine Eren as Shia Labeouf, and Shingeki no Kyojin as a typical summer blockbuster by Michael Bay. Eren zips around the scenes of the movie, fighting bad-guys and pulling off amazing stunts with beautifully rendered graphics and an amazing ost- but then hardcut to Eren getting mad at himself and people around him but not actually advancing the plot for 1/3rd of the movie as the action grinds to a halt. Add some comedic relief (if you want a Bay comparison, the classic transformers out of place masturbation joke fits well) including possibly some potatoes after a traumatic scene and then slap on the illusion of having a deep plot and you have Shingeki no Kyojin. It's a typical summer blockbuster! You go in, watch it, enjoy it, then leave and forget about it! I'm really not saying you're not allowed to enjoy it because it's shallow and noisy, I'm just saying you shouldn't walk in expecting a revolutionary masterpiece of anime- which is what some critics are raising it up to be.

>>25030889
The first two episodes of "New Titans" broke up prematurely in top form, leaving viewers with a mystery. Who are the Titans? What's in the basement? How could Alan's father be so terrible? So when the credits roll for the second episode, the audience wonders.

Then episodes 3 and 4 jump. It's a training scene for Ellen and her friends, but it's a lot slower than Ellen's. But that's okay, these episodes help develop the characters and keep the story alive. And yet another action-packed episode awaits. So the challenging, shitty action we've been waiting for is about to begin.

Well, yes. But it all stopped soon after that. Why do you remember the first five episodes of The Incredible Giant? It's because the pacing of all the animation is perfectly synchronized. One minute you're looking at the screen and marveling at the beautiful animation and amazing soundtrack, and the next you're seeing people arguing about the same topic for an hour and a half. That would be fine if the plot and characters could be developed somewhere, but the discussion between Amin and the Irishman rarely leads to anything.

In fact, despite the god of the god tree somehow returning in one of the five episodes, Ehren battling his inner demons and the underground being made aware that he "has all the answers" is completely forgotten in the hunt for the giants, with Amin playing a different role in episodes one and two, respectively. It seems to perfectly interpret what we know and remind us of the fantasy of plot and character development, among other things. The whole thing adds to the havoc and at first glance looks like a deep and interesting story, but only through the reflection of a different lens do you begin to understand how flat the pool you are standing in actually is. The characters are flat and the story is trying to accomplish something, but the characters don't seem to interfere at all, and at one point they try to pass so many places at once that it confuses the viewer until the next scene of the journey begins.

I like to compare The Incredible Colossus to Michael Bay's films. Part of the reason for this is to make my point easier to understand (trust me, it's not your fault).

Imagine Allen as Hill LaBeouf and The Incredible Colossus as a typical summer blockbuster led by Michael Bay. Allen fights the bad guys, skips scenes in the movie, does a lot of great action, nice visual effects, great EAST, but then Allen takes his anger out on himself and others, but the plot actually stops in the middle of 1/3 of the movie and doesn't move the plot forward when it stops It's hard to If you want to compare yourself to Bev, perhaps add potatoes (classic outdoor masturbation jokes fit well) and comedic relief after a traumatic scene, giving the illusion of a profound story, The New Titans is perfect. It's no exaggeration to say it's a summer blockbuster. Come in, enjoy, leave, and forget it! I'm not saying you can't enjoy it because it's too small and loud, I'm saying you shouldn't wait for a revolutionary anime masterpiece in the hands of a few critics.

Other than the male x male shipping, I am not finding many reasons to like this show anymore.

Half of the season is practically a collection of cliche action scenes. People teleport from the sky to save the day, others swing in the sky with spider-man gears, evil people sit on the face of someone just to prove that they indeed evil, Levi declares he is an insane badass by committing an act that distantly resembles the twisting of an arm. So fucked up! I am scared, literally how can man be this insane. Please, no, not the arm.

The other half is practically a parody of politics except the narrative itself doesn't recognize this lameness as a parody. People with might and power declare a thing, but another thing happens -- much like with the teleporting nakama in the action side -- other big guys teleport whenever important decisions are supposed to be made. Essentially every part of the politics is so one-dimensional it hurts and serves as an excuse to create more bullshit to fill the story with. These vary from random kidnapping incidents to people thinking one of their nakama dies if they don't hurry up. I am not sure how exactly am I supposed to be fooled by this when it is clear plot-armors in the series are thicker than the walls itself.

The best part of this show are the supposedly evil people and "our" enemies. Whenever our main squad gets called subhumen or pseudo-soldiers by them, I agree whole-heartedly. The opposing party did nothing wrong when looking down on our plebeian children at arms. Which this show really is all about. Some kids acting like they matter, fighting against titans or being titans or hiding from titans behind walls made of titans. At least the first season was fun to watch because it was a complete disaster and so overboard idiotic. This isn't even ironically fun anymore. More meaningless events one after another.

This season doesn't achieve anything. It's just Eren being chained half the time + farming, characters pondering over some action for half an episode each episode just to see the thing itself never happening. It's all false tension, all words no reward, no payout. Boring substance that is repetition of the same over and over while the fallacy that something might actually happen being there to fool those who are still buying this. Oh no, titan appears for the 700th millionth time, what a shock, I wonder which one of the two things that ever happen when a titan appear, happens this time around. Literally can't wait for the next cour.

>>25029660
is it normal to shorten しつ as っす because that's what that sounds like

>>25030954
Aside from the men's happiness, I can't find much reason to like this show anymore.

Half of a season is mostly a collection of bad action. People teleporting out of the sky to save the world, people shaking their Spider-Man suits and jumping up into the sky, bad guys sitting in someone's face and proving that they really are evil, and Levi being a crazy scumbag who does something very similar to hand-twisting. It's complicated, it's scary, and I really don't know what to do about it, so leave me alone and don't do it again.

The other half of the story is almost a parody of politics, except that history itself doesn't recognize this part of the story as a parody. People in power claim one thing, but something else happens - like the teleportation of the Nakama on the sidelines - and when important decisions have to be made, others are teleported in. In principle, every political piece is one-dimensional because it hurts people, and it's an excuse to do more shit as an excuse to bury the story. It ranges from arbitrary kidnapping to people believing that Nakama will die if they don't hurry. I don't know why they were tricked, and it's a normal part of the series... The armor is thicker than the walls themselves.

The best part of the show is probably the bad guys and "our" enemies. Every time the main force is called a bug or a pseudo-soldier, I wholeheartedly agree with them. The other side has done nothing wrong. This program really has everything it needs. Some of these kids think it's their problem, whether it's fighting the giants, being a giant, or hiding behind a giant's wall. At least the first season was a disaster, ridiculous and funny, but ironically, this season is not funny at all. It's one pointless event after another.

This season, in each of the one and a half episodes, we've had to watch Alan's half-chain + farming with characters who invented actions that didn't happen themselves. It's all about verbal rewards and payments, not fake tension. Tedious material repeated over and over again and the illusion that something is actually going to happen keeps fooling everyone involved. My goodness, the giant has appeared 700 million times. I can't wait for the next picture.

he's live bros, he's live!
