the anime subforum is exactly the place where you are most likely to encounter people who study and understand japanese to some extent. it's not a mysterious language only native japanese people are capable of knowing

So 9 people? I think you’re seriously overestimating the percentage of people (outside Japan) who consume Japanese media and don’t rely exclusively on subs&dubs beyond an occasional “ooh they said that one word. I recognize that word!” even on dedicated forums. I’m willing to admit I could be wrong though. I am after all a big dumdum who posts on a dead comedy forum.

I can't read Kanji but I could watch an episode of One Piece with missing subtitles and probably not notice for most of it.

Bro you could've left the original post at "western trailers are infamous for spoiling half the movie" and it'd have been a slam dunk, you don't gotta get bogged down in this losing battle about the japanese language. Take the 1/4th of an L and move on, I'm pretty sure there's people around who speak japanese lol

Also I think I'm going to drop Tensei Oujo. Not really hating it (up to ep 5), but I was kind of bored for the dragon episodes.

the tensei oujo anime added some decent stuff in the first ep but it kinda feels like it fell into being a pretty flat adaptation after that lacking a lot of the more fun and expressive stuff from the manga

In my experience, English usually is the easiest non-English language to pick up.

I've gone down the list and there's a half dozen I've picked for this Spring. I'll wait for the Spring thread before going over most of them, but Otaku Elf is on that list. It looks supremely silly.

I explicitly know we have Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, and French native speakers here but I can't say I know anyone who knows German. Might be the circles I run in but I'd estimate the board is like half Asian by ethnicity.

(because of american cultural projection and consequently the boatloads of easily accessible english-language content, english really is super easy to learn. not necessarily because the language itself is easy. me, i never learned english. i just started understanding it one day)
