>>690 >how did they get away with it in 2005? If you're talking about the anime specifically, it released in 2006 Also, sexual stuff like this have been around long before this series

>>685 I liked it when they were in bunny outfits

>>685 I can't feel bad for Mikuru. She's so introverted it hurts. Just speak up and stop whining

>>676 Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the best movies I have watched. Also, Yuki is love.

>>722 I wish I could find a girl like Yuki...

>>711 oh ok

>>27 Started watching Fist of the North Star because I've never seen it before and it's a classic so I figured I should.

>>27 i read the light novel for Welcome to the NHK on a whim and really enjoyed it. i always avoided it for the longest, because the only thing i ever heard about it was that it was..."a deconstruction/critique of otaku culture with an unlikable protagonist", and i've always hated discussion like that. it will never not bother me how japanese media consistently attracts people who don't like it here in the states. so i always try to avoid anime like that. but NHK i ended up really resonating with. i think some people do the story a disservice when they only discuss the one aspect of the story. i really resonated with the characters, Yamazaki especially. that said, i feel like the ending was a bit contrived. it could just be me projecting my own bitterness onto the story, but i feel like everyone suddenly getting a happy ending was kind of unrealistic. i'm downloading the anime right now, i've only ever seen people recommend the anime and not the book, i know there are a couple of differences between the two. the download is taking forever

I finished watching all the episodes of DIY!! (the anime) it was okay but I wish we had more things builed

>>731 I've read the manga and the LN + the remake (named rebuild of NHK) that is only 33 pages I think; and watched the anime. there all different on some points and sometimes they're the same on some points. I can't say wihch one I liked the most and which one I hated the most because they're all different in their own. so I liled them all . you should also go for all the NHK piece of wroks, you'll like it for sure

>>683 i can only read/type hiragana and katakana but one of my friends started taking learning japanese seriously and he sent me this guide https://www.tofugu.com/learn-japanese/ you do have to learn the fundamentals, like grammar, or else you're just going to be screwed, and grammar books are just an easy way for most people to learn that, though i'm sure you can find other options for learning that. > I was learning the kanji radicals but I stopped by one day and I lost my streak don't let stuff like this get to you. it's fine to take breaks. eventually you're going to just going to hit a point where you slow down when learning a new language because the honeymoon phase wears off and it gets repetitive. just keep learning new things at your own pace, and whatever you do, for the love of god do not stop practicing for too long, you will lose whatever knowledge you've acquired if you do that (this is how most americans take 1-4 years of spanish in high school and then forget all of it in their adult years, they don't use it at all after they get out of school).

>>683 >step 1 memorize the kana brute force memorize the kana this should only take a day or two a week max https://djtguide.neocities.org/kana/ progressively add another kana column until you have no trouble recognizing all the kana if you still have trouble write down each kana 50 times >step 2 learn some grammar grammar has 3 parts: Sentence Structure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5PD1lORiwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyVZlaEqU24 Particles https://imabi.org/table-of-contents-%e7%9b%ae%e6%ac%a1/ https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/GqYvdEhgKNOcBDSZnDDGsWGc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwcTI9qvO-U&list=PLg9uYxuZf8x-FpkArMEoVVfw10TDT9I1h Verb Agglutinations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIPhvGxp43c

>>165 Liru the Werewolf!

Praise her!

>>715 She is deserving of all of it

Her ero-games made me genocide my own sperm

>>131 You have good taste anon

>>56 there are a lot of anime openings i really like, but code geass's second opening is the one i've had on my mind the most recently not only do i love the song, but the visuals complement it really well and allude to the conflict in the show https://youtu.be/ADPYQSptTLA?feature=shared

>>56 There's only 2 anime intros I like and wont skip. Girls' Last Tour and Cowboy Bebop. >High School Host Club Good stuff

>>708 ...out of all the anime openings out there, there are only two that you like? skipping any one anime intro should already be grounds for the death penalty, let alone all but two of them

I have too many to count, but some of my favourites: Spice and Wolf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=282jvErdaIA Higurashi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt26CSwCNao GTO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpAg0spgFJA Air https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NNPAHNaMw0 Dragon Ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJqGirLjQn4

i think they've existed before but Japan had them much earlier. not too sure

>>104 They had HD displays in the late 90s, but I don't know if they were flat screens. https://archive.is/7potc

things happened quickly and simultaneously everywhere, China stole all the technology immediately too

>>670 >China stole all the technology immediately too LOL

>>621 Where did Chiyo-chan get the rocket launcher and how is she carrying it?

>>653 >Where did Chiyo-chan get the rocket launcher and how is she carrying it? You didn't know that Chiyo-chan is a Wehrmacht veteran? She probably got the Panzerschreck from when she served in the Battle of Seelow Heights

>>654 anime girl wehrmacht shit is sumanead meme

>>604 I enjoyed reading Yotsuba&, it helped me learn more Japanese and it's fun to read. More fun than Azumanga to me. But it's easier to find something cute when it's in an anime like Azumanga (since it's animated with voices instead of just the art and writing), so I usually find Chiyo-chan to be cuter. I love her voice!

I never heard about it What is it about?

>>95 1 Liter of Tears, also based on the true story of Aya Kitō dying young from a degenerative illness. She will forever be the age that I am now.. JIN-仁- (2009), a historical fiction jidaigeki about a neurosurgeon who is suddenly timeslipped into the end of the Edo period, a time of tumult and revolt known as Bakumatsu; he doesn't know when he'll return, so all he can do is soldier on with the medical knowledge that he remembers. I personally related to it so much because I love sentimental dramas. The character development, the portrayal of 19th century people as rightfully justified in their superstitions and way of life, doing the best they can, the rivalry between the Kanpō (traditional Chinese) and western (Dutch / Rangaku) medical schools. I learned so many nice JP phrases like how "everything is water bubbles" 「全てが水の泡」is a metaphor for "everything will be in vain". Some episodes are a bit heavy on the historical timeline side of things like secret meetings between famous figures of different shogunates. I plan to read the manga some time. I want to turn into snow. If I turn into snow, I can fall onto Sensei's shoulder anytime, anywhere... The theme song is a JP karaoke classic too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aitakute_Ima Code Blue, starring Gakky and Erika Toda flying around in Doctor-Helis!! (aah, both of them are married now...) Despite it being a medical drama too, I felt that it was more fast-paced and tense than heart-wrenching, because well if you have to be airlifted you already have one foot in the grave anyways I really liked how the characters matured, at the beginning I was cringing at some scenes where the characters' ego took over because they were stressed beyond their breaking point. Liar Game, starring Erika again!

>>125 >1 Liter of Tears I saw this before, it made me cry that much tears.. so sad yet so good. It inspires me to appreciate life more and makes me keep going Was the 1st drama I've seen too.

>>125 All of these look interesting I'll watch em all! Liar Game specifically seems interesting Thx for the suggestions!

>>99 I just finished watching "Hana and Alice" It was nice! Perhaps I watch the other movie as well

Does anybody know the one with the girl detective that was really good with a gun? I watched it a while ago but I forgot what it's called
