after learning english, japanese is omega easymode, grammar wise. there's only two tenses, only 2 irregular verbs, and sentence structure is very simple and straightforward.

it more than makes up for it with kanji though. unlike with other foreign languages, where i learned to read well before i learned to understand spoken language well, seriously gently caress kanji lmao. i've learned enough to be able to get through simple dialogue and/or rpg game mechanics or similar, but fluently reading an actual book will probably elude me for many years still because i'm too lazy to practice that enough :rip:

British language teaching is so dire that I've retained almost nothing from five years of German, but I've built up a patchwork of Japanese vocab purely from watching anime.

this is normal, i had german too but i ended up never actually using it outside class. i still understand a tiny bit, but i picked up 99% of my japanese from anime and furigana equipped manga and have been subtitle free for about 10 years now.

Real important vocab too, like 'oppai' and 'yuri'.

i have no idea how much into specifics drama cd gets, but my opinion on just "dog god spirit rescues girl, when she grows up they do the happily ever after" is "it's dumb mythology bullshit"

it's crap you could probably lift from a thousand different fairy tale/mythology collections around the world :v:

I’m pretty down on the Sess-Rin thing that’s being implied, but the more I think about it, Inuyasha was pretty much 67 and dating a 16 year old wasn’t he?
also sesshomaru looks adult, but he acts like a terminal chuuni edge case and he can shapeshift, so he's like that dragon from slayers gorgeous imo

agreed on sango tho. she'd definitely dump the bouzu once she got over all the trauma

nadia starts ok, gets real good at some points, but i remember the end being a bit of a shitshow. it's been a long time since i've seen it too, maybe i'm wrong.

it's definitely not a bad watch tho

IMO:

the best miyazaki is nausicaa manga, and it's not even a competition, this despite me greatly prefering anime over manga in general

the best ghibli is definitely porco rosso, with whisper of the heart and mononoke being pretty drat good too. whisper of the heart was my favourite in high school, but as i get older porco rosso just keeps getting better somehow????

nausicaa anime gets a mention because while it's too short to do much with the setting, it's a really well made introduction to the insanely good manga

oscar ultimately going to spirited away out of all the stuff is, however, predictable. it was the mainstream worldwide hit after all :v:

The thing with the manga is how misanthropic it comes off by the end, the moral seems to effectively be that "any nature touched by man is irreversibly corrupted, even if it was generations ago, therefore we should just let it all burn down."

you can see the manga took like 13 years to complete because at the start while it's brutal at times it still stays somewhat optimist about things and seems to view the world from a somewhat materialist perspective until about the last 2 volumes, but then by the end it really goes off the deep end with a shift into weirdo cultism and misanthrophy? :confused:

i dunno what was going on in his head, but it makes you wonder if miyazaki had a time machine to look into the post 2000 climate inaction shitshow because in that case i could easily explain the tone shift lmao :v:

there's a miyazaki inverview where, IIRC (it's been a while), he starts rambling about how if you plant a tree, it might bring good, but it might also fall on your house and destroy it because nature is unpredictable

and that's why nausicaa ends the way it does lmfao
