absolute low iq take
you actually have to be functionally retarded to think this

i don't get it, so matt advocates for eng subs at the early stages and jsubs later? what happened to subs being considered reading practice and not listening?

>>24848725
yeah im feeling mad again too

>>24848744

>>24848803
by being able to parse syllables. if you can listen to a sentence and write it out in kana then you're ready to graduate eng subs. sorry if it took you a decade or two to get to that point

>>24848822
>if that were the case anyone who watched anime before could just dive in
assuming you aren't literally mentally handicapped then yes, that's exactly right.

spoke to a japanese guy my age (19) for an hour just now and it was the most fun ive had for a long time

>>24849006
1k shows is a lot, would like to see a full list

im at 300 without padding my stats

>>24849074
it's really not much at all if he's actually been watching anime for 20-30 years or whatever. id think he should be way beyond 1k. ive only been watching anime for like 3 years and have seen 300 shows too.

>>24849026
>>24849006
lmao

jamal owns yet again

fuck ive been kantoified
whenever i hear some shit like ookini i start giggling

i really want to filter youtube because of this eceleb trash but i'll miss out on bangers
what do

>>24849211
he's autistically been chasing after nip for a decade
you can probably count the amount of people like that itt on one hand

does anybody have recs on martial arts fiction?

>>24849463
being sickened by bloodshed but carrying through with it anyway is not gay. in fact it's pretty masculine.

nice blog fgt

yeah jamal doesnt put poison in his body

another win for him

jamal won't make a video of him talking to japanese people

i started the eceleb dick sucking 2 years ago you retard you didn't start shit lol

>>24847764
exactly lol
its so dumb how they sit around posting about iq this and brain size that and meanwhile their lives just consist of porn and anime. none of that is actually relevant to them in a practical sense yet they think those stats give them some kind of worth. its a sad thing to witness

>>24849798
look i agree with you but for the love of god leave this in that thread

>>24849845
>just go slowly through it, mark parts you don't get even after looking it up, and ask someone about it preferably a japanese person
matt disagrees

>>24849889
yeah but you don't know japanese and matt does
he says if it doesn't click in 15 seconds skip it

>>24849502
>>24849845
you only need to watch more anime since lns are anime scripts with narration

>>24849876
theyre not bad if you use them like qm does but they do become an awful crutch if you start to look up every other word in it like nuke does and dont try mining anything or even make a conscious effort to remember stuff

10K hours of maruko-chan is my goal. i enjoy it even without understanding every single word

>>24849943
yes (though i know both of those)

>>24849944
if you think something is hard its because you havent done enough math
t. pure math major
learning anything is a breeze compared to it

>>24850033
not as bad as russian loanwords though theres fewer of them

>>24850045
? you probably trying to say that they're not 1:1 the same but it's similar enough that it's easy to remember whatever difference there is vs learning a whole new word, a lot of them are basically 1:1 anyway

>>24850050
lol read it as pattsu

>>24850055
wtf i agree with you

>>24850068
t. seething whitoid who doesnt recognize the unity of the sinosphere

thread's been too hateful recently, especially toward some of the objectively best anime ever made. gonna take a break for a week and hope everyone cools off.

>>24850087
cya soon anon

>>24850077
made me so happy watching vinland saga and finding yet another show that utterly fucking annihilates the joke of a story that is snk.

you don't need to speak the language to get a tourista visa

if i ever wanted to go there id probably try to marry someone lol

>>24850213
you can't just get a working visa retard, you need to be hired first by a japanese company

>>24850228
Really? What do you need then?

>>24850238
a job, fucking idiot

>>24850238
>>24850236

it's hard to sustain yourself in japan. the work ethic culture is brutal and they're notorious for underpaying and not giving promotions to gaijin

>>24850238
to know how to use google.com

>>24850245
Imagine using go*gle

>>24850238
you seem retrded, but i'll help you
you can get a tourist visa and find a job when you're in japanese territory since companies wont have to waste as much money sponsoring someone out of the country
then you can 'upgrade' your tourist visa to a working visa
if you are a first worlder, speak japanese and have a degree you can possibly find a job. if you are a native english speaker you can easily find a english teaching rig

would like to go to japan and maybe even live there a bit but work? already tasting how overwork culture is like in my own country, and i want to avoid it as much as possible, since at least here we can still call it exploitation and not "duty"

>>24850273
dont forget its also your duty to make sure your boss' balls are well licked and go out drinking with him lol

>>24850209
とりあえず yeah

japanese submission disgusts me, they treat their boss as a god
they respect authority too much

why u capitalize the t

>>24850321
yea that's why poor nick got btfo by a chinese prostitute.

alt work seems ez unless u get a gay ass school but i bet 90% of those people that get tons of extra work dumped on them and are forced into actually teaching classes are just spineless losers that are too pussy to say no

i know someone who works for a big 外資系 and doesn't have any jlpt it seems like a nice job just regular hours

>>24850326
who?

>>24850326
lmfao fucking retard nick

>>24850328
what's the point of sentence mining when you could just watch more anime

>>24850330
you say no then you get fired because someone else will say yes
good job sperg, just lost your job, try leaving your room sometime

what would 3 hour video matt think of modern day matt?

can you guys stop posting for some minutes i need to read the whole thread and the past thread also

>>24850351
dont think it works like that considering its against the law for an alt to actually teach classes tbqh and if u get fired u can just get another alt job anyways

>>24850372
Maybe he forgot his password.

bet the corona took that fat fuck

is youjo senki really that hard? i dropped it a year ago cause it btfod me but maybe im decent enough now. though theres probably a lot of military babble that would be tedious to get through.

>>24850384
tell the young me to get a job and spend every dime on chainlink haha

>>24849907
yes i do?
i don't know as much as he knows but i can read lns in japanese and have read several of them. thats what the anon was having difficulty with so that's what's relevant to the conversation.

>i like how chinese sounds
What part of it? I'm genuinely curious.
Of all the languages I've heard so far in my life chinese has got to be the most off-putting one.

>>24850635
get back to it robby

how would we know how the redditors post huh?

>>24850621
it's impossible to explain something like that

>>24850336
>>24850338
He's an AJATTer who got massively cucked during his study abroad, basically fell in love with an older chinese TA at the university, then found out she was a prostitute, then got kicked out of his friend group and shunned because she had higher social standing then him at the university. i'm sad matto took it down honestly it's required viewing

how'd you know i'm fat

>>24850624
2nd house or switch girl for comedy dramas.
If you want something more recent I enjoyed sherlock and fruits takuhaibin.
Dunno what genres you like.

what if you could replace all of your knowledge about dumb ass ecelebs like matt, quiz, nuke, jamal, ect. with actual japanese? would you do it?

>>24850747
the knowledge I have about MIA is more valuable than any random piece of information in japanese

>>24850747
probably, because then i could re-experience the fun of learning about those figures while posting on djt all day. the unfortunate side effect is that the current meta as we know it would be significantly different because i had a monumental influence.

There are so many different words in languages in general that roughly mean the same thing. As a result, a lot of people ask questions like ''what is the difference between word x and y''. Often native speakers will be so used to these words that it is hard to pinpoint just what the difference would be without doing some research.

This time I'd like to list possible areas in which words can differ, to remind people of what kinda things they may want to take note of when explaining to people how the nuances of a word differ or give a reminder of what people should be looking for when trying to figure out what's different between two words. You will have already have run into all of these concepts, but the point is to be consciously aware of all of them as a whole. This will be done from the perspective of a Japanese learner, but you can also use this to explain word nuances to advanced English learners, just replace things like ''of Chinese origin'' with '' of Latin root'' and the like.

Here's all the characteristics that make words different from one another I could think of off the top of my head in no particular order.

1: Origin and idea.

Words tend to be based on some kind of overall idea that then represents the oldest meaning. ありがとう comes from ありがたし, which in kanji would be 有り難し is＋difficult. It meant something like ''rare'' and thus ''valuable''. Sometimes these old meanings are still in use and new meanings come from them, but often the base meaning changed entirely. Sometimes meanings that have fallen out of use are still used in compound words. That said it can still often clue you in on why the word is named that way and why it uses certain kanji. The idea the word came from is usually called 意 in Japanese dictionaries, while the full etymology/origin is the 語源. Sometimes 1 part of a word may actually be an abbreviation of something else instead.

Sometimes it can be pretty hard to grasp because you lack certain cultural context. I remember the 意　of this older word 眉唾まゆつば(eyebrow saliva, meaning: something questionable/dubious). It said something like ''from the idea that if you put spit on your eyebrows you won't be fooled by the fox''...Clearly I'm missing something here as to a Dutch foreigner like me that explains nothing.

This all can be further categorized into: What morphemes/structure does the word have? (the small parts in words with meaning) and what is their role? Aka, what does the word literally say? What basic idea does it represent? In this case we would have あり from the verb ある and 難い.

As for another example of a type of word origin difference, if you look at onomatopoeia, the sound words, not all of them are literally supposed to sound like the sound and instead consist of parts with certain meanings like regular words do.

>>24850977
17: Antonym pairs.

Does it have a straight-up antonym? Is it often used only to contrast another word or is it it's own separate thing?

I hope that gives a reminder as to what things to consider when explaining words.

on episode 54 of hikaru no go and im starting to think this anime would have been a lot more epic if hikaru just said yea i got a ghost in my crew and what bitch? and then shit on all these noobs

>>24851054
you're retarded dude it's much better than 99% of anime

Why does Anki on PC take longer to open than Anki on fucking phone?

>>24851138
0. learn to learn

>>24851077
sorry but i only care about shows in the 99.9th percentile like vinland saga.

it's called no go because i'm not even starting that trash

>>24851174
i guarantee it shits on vinland saga and dances on the corpse of those stupid fucking norwegians with their dumb horn hats

>>24851196
no way vinland saga is that good shit that if you were a weaker person would change your life (i'm not weak so it didn't change my life and i just found it entertaining). hikaru no go is kid shit in comparison

>>24851210
one day you'll watch it and realize your mistake here

>>24851174
how much anime have you watched

>>24851227
yea true really should be more like
1. Learn to input
2. Input (listening and reading)
3. Output (2 years later)

>>24851226
yea i think that leaves room for like 15 shows or something that are actually worth watching. unfortunately i've had the displeasure of watching over 5x that amount and almost none of them were worth it.

>>24851236
possibly but i'll tell you one thing no way in hell can it compete with the end of s1 of vinland saga

>>24851245
maybe between like 50 to 100. i know, that's way too much. but it was a combination of naivety and using the worse ones as practice

just do w/e u want

i cant understand what this retard thinks he saw in vinland saga. i gave it a 7, was pretty good.

how do i know what i want

>between like 50 to 100
just slightly past the border of irrelevant

>>24851288
you're going easy on me. anyone who's watched over 50 should quite frankly have their opinions completely disregarded and they should be ridiculed. no one with honed intuition would subjugate themselves to such a shit medium like anime

>>24851251
no you will be forever crippled like me
i watched naruto and now だってばよ!

>>24851284
mindfulness and meditation ;)

>>24851309
sounds kinda gay

>>24851115
while working on ur listening comprehension practice shadowing the speech you hear

>>24851270
well now it makes sense that you think vinland saga is so good if you haven't even watched 100 shows
come back when you are at 10000 hours, it won't even be in your top 100

>>24851331
>when you are at 10000 hours
are you mad? would you trust the opinions of someone on cuisine just because they've eaten shit for 10000 hours? let's be real here - anyone attacking vinland saga in response to me GUARANTEED 100% likes a garbage childish show. i don't trust you if you've watched that much garbage. it means you have awful awful taste because you actually enjoyed enough of that garbage to keep watching it. you all need to stop.

>>24851344
i won't deny that this happens but it's incredibly rare. in the past several years i've yet to be wrong about the quality of a show before watching it.

>>24851115
Anyone else here having imaginary Japanese conversations with imaginary people in their heads before falling asleep?
Or sometimes while daydreaming?

Usually I read at night an then continue to think about it and interact with the characters in my mind.

>>24851373
i agree with this guy if you've watched thousands of anime you must have some mental health issues cause i just imagine you sitting there drooling like a child watching shit like yuru yuri

>>24851402
i want to pound kyouko's tight pussy until she bleeds
fuck im so horny

>>24851373
how do you know they are garbage if you haven't watched them are you retarded?
do you just blindly trust any negative comments or reviews or what

thanks for the backup c***** we need to teach these idiots what's what

>>24851424
>in the past several years i've yet to be wrong about the quality of a show before watching it.
yes seeing how people revere a show is a small part of the overall process of determining whether a show is worth your time before watching it.

>>24851453
better than being a kid who eats up 10000 hours worth of kid shit!

>>24851444
well of course you can't be wrong if you never watch anything
just assume everything is shit and watch 0 shows wow you are so smart

watching an anime to find out if it's good or not is the mark of a low iq. you can tell just from the the art and character design nevermind the synopsis and genre tags

>>24851502
big fat true

>nevermind the synopsis
this is the guy talking about iq lol

yeah just mine the jp synopsis and character pages and move on

>>24851502
closed mindedness is a low iq hallmark

>>24851450
this no way ill magically start speaking by christmas

>>24851526
dropped that after the second episode. it's a 7/10 at best

i don't watch anime
i experience it
going to experience yuru camp next

>>24851579
it's the one about the kids in some prison right? like i said i dropped it

>>24851581
it's a mark of low iq
let them wallow

>>24851581
im not dumb enough to make a prediction

this language is impossible after you hit 20

>>24851599

>>24851599
not if you watched anime before that

>>24851599
good thing im 20

>>24851732
is this actually getting a sequel this year? i heard the story becomes more interesting

Anyone's got jaded of anime? Not the drawing style, just the medium.
I haven't watched a show made after 2013 and still can't summon the will to watch anime any longer. It's hard to fathom how people can watch the same SoL/generic shounen over and over again without even getting tired, and even though I was never really into these genres, I can see that they're roughly the same rehashed pile of garbage. The anime industry seems to be bent more on milking brainless otaku and less keen on creating new content from my point of view.

>>24851789
watch a good anime like made in abyss

animefags make it
erogefags make it
i wanna learn japanese but hate anime, manga, vinnies but im gonna watch jap subtitled kdrama lol are ngmi

>>24851732
dropped it 1 episode in cause it seemed retarded and the animation is ugly

>>24851805
not reading manga until i dont have to look stuff up in my vinnies anymore

>>24851833
so never

>>24851833
>until i dont have to look stuff up in my vinnies anymore
that's not going to happen

come to think of it i've never seen anyone itt that was approved by a native

see but you are both wrong

Today I will remind them.

>>24851859
ive had sincere compliments from natives before but it doesn't really mean much cause theyre fuckin dumb and just happy if someone can express themselves at all

>>24851918

>>24851894
why should they be obligated to look out for you dumb gaijins who dont pay for their service?

natives are dumb and know less than your average mia methoder

most of the "right now" pics are like 15 years old

nothing happened, they are just cherrypicking a small chunk of works that looked good
you still see well drawn stuff today, like ufotable works and some of kyoanis, though it's the moe sameface thing most of the time. that's hardly a problem, in fact what killed anime was otaku and the pandering to them which gets us the same reciclyed shit over and over (for what, 2 decadas now?) with the same fucking tropes and archetypes because the losers will spend all their mommy's money on merchandise and other stupid shit. so you can literally adapt any fucking manga with some cute girls and thats basically it, fuck the plot, fuck anything else, the retards will buy figurines so they can cum on them. this makes money, so they will keep doing it. now every season we see a hundred of generic low budget cartoons from literalwho studios with the same thing we have seen a hundred times and we get nothing new. no one has the balls to try something. not even shaft that would do well with low budget (i myself liked the powerpoint slides) is doing anything, they are just endlessly adapting monogatari because well, its what gives them money.

>>24852168
yea howard even defended the recycled otaku stuff. really bad guy i hope he doesn't post on djt

I personally separate my life to pre-Subahibi and post-Subahibi periods, as reading it has completely changed how I view the world. It taught me to appreciate life much more (or rather in a different way) than I used to and also be more honest with myself. It may have a similar effect on you, or it may do nothing if it’s not your kind of thing, but one thing is clear — you’ve got to read it even if it’s the last thing you do.

>>24852184

Besides that, characters sometimes directly refer to many prominent philosophers and their works, such as Leibniz, Alan Musgrave, Nicholas Cusanus, Goethe and many others.

yea it's the same problem with hollywood why make an original movie when you've got nerds who'll go and see the movie 20 times just to get you to the top of the box office wikipedia if it's got their fav character in it lol

stop comparing a single show to a fucking trend you retard
you cant deny almost every show tries to pander to ot*ku

idk what these people are complaining about, there were more good original anime from 2010-2020 than there were from 1980-1990. Anime cinema, on the other hand, isn't what it used to be

stfu

almost every show is filled with dumb so called "fan service" it's pretty sad to witness. don't the creators have any respect for themselves?

Subahibi changed my life. After finishing the game I went out and bought all of Wittgenstein's books, five different translations of Cyrano, and a fedora to go with it. Now whenever I get bullied at school I yell out MON PANACHE!!! and with a tip of my fedora initiate an epic battle. After disposing of the evil bullies I always give them a lecture on how their view of the world is wrong, and make sure to end it with the best quote of all time - 幸福に生きよ！

If you mean anime as a whole, then obviously,
if you mean just anime that qualifies are core otaku works, then maybe, but not by much,
unless it gets really popular.
Most of the ota merchandise is made just to break even btw simply because there's people who want to make it,
you need an explosive hit to actually make real profits from merch and even
dvd/blu rays most of the time.

why do people like shirobako? i couldn't make it past the first episode it's so fuckin boring when i tried to watch the second i just couldn't do it

i've been playing with subs2srs for a long time. i even maintain subs2srs in the AUR. it's nice except sometimes you just don't want to go through the hassle of making a deck for just one or two cards. i'll look into lua scripting tho. it should be simple since we only need to know three things -- start time, end time, subtitle string. and after that we just call ffmpeg to make the cuts. but i feel like someone must have already made it.

>>24853718
what's this anon

>>24853746
dunno never even thought about it why would i not wear underwear
why do you wear underwear outside

>>24853790
cause its not comfortable if u are wearing jeans or pants with no underwear plus if its hot and i sweat at least it wont instantly seep through my pants. at home idc about that so i dont wear it. though if im going to the store or to pick up food in basketball shorts i also wont wear them cause who cares.

>>24853746
sweats for work, pajama type pants for home, and jeans for everything else (not skinny jeans or some other shit)

>>24853834
thats crazy, i only wear basketball type shorts at home even in winter and as soon as its 20C im in shorts outside too.

it depends, most people are consistent for about a year, then they stay forever 'okay' for the rest of their life because they are too lazy to do things like watching with subs or read actual novels.

same here i think that dude is just projecting lol

no offense but if you need to look up words on anime subtitles you need to just read more

wait until you're fluent in reading then just watch anime without subtitles to get fluent listening

sucks bros, among other things my speaking is gonna go way down

>>24855459
>quiz can't understand anime without jp subs
proof?

>>24855464
look at every anime he's ever watched and realize they are literally all 100% of them listened on kitsunekko

what's your proof that he can?

>>24855471
i don't have any but i never said he could. but you're claiming he can't and your only evidence is that the anime he's put on mal have jp subs? very weak. please tone it down and say more reasonable things.

>>24854687
calm down, Ahmed

>>24855480
i guess it's just a coincidence he's only watched the 10% subset of anime that's on kitsunekko

i don't think you understand how odds work if you think that's a coincidence

even just watching 10 random anime at 10% chance would be 1 in 10,000,000,000 chance they all appear on kitsunekko.

he obviously goes out of his way to only watch subs lol

>>24855268
そんなミームはありません

>>24855527
you're making a lot of assumptions without evidence. is anime his only listening material? if not how much of his listening consisted of anime? has he put every anime he's watched on his mal? how many of them did he actually use jp subs for? how often did he have to rely on them when he did?

you jump to so many conclusions. you should remain agnostic on the quiz question.

>the quiz question
lmfao

>>24855565
i've already shown he only watches anime with jp subs, that much you cannot question. i can't answer the questions.

therefore my question still stands: why would you trust someone who only watches anime with j-subs (all other listening practice is unknown so it cannot be argued for one way or the other) about listening practice?

matt actually said something a long time ago before he sold out, basically after his 3 hour video and he had given up he said "only trust someone who has gotten to the level you want to get to for advice"

if your goal is to watch anime with j-subs, go ahead and trust quiz, make your anki cards and never do raw listening practice

if your goal is to watch without j-subs, find someone who can do that and ask how they got to that level.

>>24855615
>why would you trust someone who only watches anime with j-subs
why should you trust someone who only watches anime for which jsubs are available? idk why not.
why should you trust someone who only watches anime with jsubs? do you have evidence of that?
>all other listening practice is unknown so it cannot be argued for one way or the other
so be agnostic!
>if your goal is to watch without j-subs, find someone who can do that and ask how they got to that level.
makes sense. we should remain agnostic on quiz until we figure out if he can watch and understand lots of spoken japanese instead of making assumptions layered on assumptions.

>>24855544
ｃｈｉｎｃは

ほんとは新型コロナはやってるでしょ

>>24855639
>literally only watches anime with j-subs available
>advocates for using them as well

these are not assumptions

the fairly safe conclusion you can make is that he uses them, the fact he has not watched something not listed on kitsunekko makes it seem like he almost exclusively uses them

not all convictions in court have dna evidence or confessions, you need to make some assumptions in life. you cannot know anything for a fact, only increasing your belief based on evidence

i feel the evidence is enough to make the assumptions i have made, they are not baseless.

>>24855702
>makes it seem like he almost exclusively uses them
why does it seem that way to you? popular shows are more likely to have jp subs and quiz (as is everyone) is more likely to watch popular shows. the fact they have jp subs available doesn't mean he watches all of them with jp subs. and don't forget that you're still assuming anime was his only source for audio. so many assumptions.

>you need to make some assumptions in life.
yea sometimes and sometimes you don't especially when the evidence you're presenting is this weak

>>24855731
i just don't think you understand odds. even if we assume an anime he watches has a 50% chance of appearing on kitsunekko (likely a lot lower), the chances that even just the last 10 anime he watched appear there is less than 0.1%

how is it a weak assumption he intentionally only watches anime that appear there?

>>24856110
ho w many immersion points u get

hello, kinda new, heard that する is irregular, and i ran across the sentence
元気にしてたか？

is the してた the whole verb, or is it just して?

the grammar cripples are over at reddit

>>24856202
>just anime
he didn't say that.

>>24856265
してた is the informal version of していた which is the past tense of している

>>24856265
してた=して+いた so a compound of two verbs

>>24856285
He mentioned not only sitting on your ass watching with English subs and I'm sure he'll be covering a method in his next video but I think it's disingenuous to present a narrative where he learned mainly through anime when he's been at it for a decade exploring various methods (note the adding anime posters just for the video too).

>>24856651
i got a couple possible reasons
1. lots of ppl who learn japanese are insecure nerds. nothing wrong with being a nerd of course but popular culture tends to value people who aren’t nerds more, so this can create insecurity in the people who are. one way to try and make up for that insecurity and feel better about themselves is to act like others are below them for not knowing as much japanese.
2. japanese is really time consuming and sometimes frustrating, so they want recognition for their accomplishments and all they went through to learn. but rather than being 素直 about that desire (which is considered lame by society — to admit to wanting acknowledgment and praise) instead they belittle others as a way of “praising themselves” for what they’ve accomplished. its like “i’m way smarter than those dumb people who don’t know japanese.”
3. a lot of the people who learn japanese are men, with a lot of testosterone and a perhaps biological desire to be competitive and aggressive about stuff? or perhaps its a learned behavior conditioned by the communities they’ve frequented esp toxic online videogame communities. likely a combination of both.
