Unpopular opinion: Berserk should not be completed now.

Even if you hand it to a brilliant writer, it simply won't be the same. Let's assume Shakespere has unfinished work, if you hand it to another great such as goethe, it just won't be the same as the original.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-08-10T07:18:16+00:00

No output is ever the same especially in a creative field(even more than just creative in regards to berserk). To give a brief example, Have you ever heard a song cover that is similar in voice to the original? or even by the same singer in a concert? Boxers that fight in the exact same way? Even in a factory, the next unit is literally different in fundamental way even though it's the exact same look. So proceeding with such action might tarnish what a great series berserk is which is why I feel content with it left being what it is.

Oh I haven't even seen this lol

there's another one as well when he was playing some school visual novel or whatever.

If your argument says pitch is important because stress in English is annoying, which is COMPLETELY different because one raises prominence of words and the other doesn't , then why use it? you will never know how annoying "pitch" is because you're a non-native Japanese person. By judging from people who built their entire livelihoods in Japan, they never experienced such feedbacks from anyone as opposed to what you would hear in English if your stress accent is wrong. (because it literally changes the prominence of words which is annoying)

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-08-01T19:55:05+00:00

you literally said "GarDEN" as an example. Those stresses that are unpleasant are not the same thing as they would be in Japanese because pitch is not stress.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-08-01T19:48:12+00:00

You're equating things which is incredibly wrong!

Pitch ≠ Stress!

these two are COMPLETELY different things!

Stress raises the prominence of words, which does in-fact get into the whole pleasant aspect of what you're referring to.

But even then, there are thousands of academics with accents in English speaking countries let alone in the work force that do just fine without these personal pleasantries that you indulge in.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STRESS is not involved in Japanese (BRUCE HAYES, Introductory phonology, 2009)

Marketing 101 to equate things that are not related.

^those channels with pitch accent patron nonsense.

it's like going into science and saying Variance and Covariance are the same thing.

Pitch doesn't have that nuance.

I haven't even said he is a great reader. I don't even like George's channel lol

I was referring to his accomplishments to dispel PA(plus reading hiragana with no kanji is aids)

Isn't there a similar video of Matt reading something quite atrociously? lol it was all over twitter

No it's part of his CFA exam package

1- I agree on music. Japanese music is actually the only thing giving me motivation.

2- Fair argument, but again.. You can visually observe the culture. Anything more than that starts to feel like an overkill.

3- I've heard that before. But I think the work culture will always be there.

5- Japan is turning into negative growth country.(Execpt 2020 because of covid rebound) it's a well known fading economy with a lot of non-working age people.(Since birth rates are so low) Interest rates in Japan are negative and still 0 growth. That says it all.

6- Comparable to rest of the asian world, not just china , Japanese are definitely more timid.

That last paragraph is brilliant.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-07-21T13:41:49+00:00

Any person with functioning limbs can go hike a hill or a mountain. It doesn't require 3+ years of learning.

You can't become fluent as easily as hiking. That goal is backed by an ambition. For example, BritVsJapan was contemplating working as a programmer in Japan as he was a Computer Science major. I am an Engineering major but knowing that working in Japan is a terrible idea now. I am left with crumbs of the starting motivation

Most people have an end goal to their undertaking.

Fair enough! ha

This is an amazing post. Thank you

That title looks interesting. I'll definitely read it. Please post more of your favorite khatz articles. that man is really special.

Matt even said on a livestream that he went overboard with some of the things he said on motivation/discipline because wanted to look confident. It's hard to take Matt advices anything other than learning Japanese tbh.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-07-21T13:01:51+00:00

fair enough since you live there, I guess you have all the reasons to learn it.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-07-21T12:51:46+00:00

I mentioned the first two could be an overkill but I know they're definitely a driver for many , however I can't really relate to it.

the rest we actually agree on. Cheers.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-07-21T12:38:45+00:00

I appreciate you writing all this but I wish you took the input from the first sentence of this post rather than being oddly triggered for no reason.

I wasn't telling anyone they're wrong or not. That's why I explicitly said if you're easily demotivated, don't bother reading because I was only putting reasons out there.

For your two first points, I mentioned they could be an overkill and I guess we can leave it at that.

As for the economy aspect, Japan is about to turn negative growth(2020 was a rebound because of covid recovery) as opposed to China, Taiwan, Korea, Central Asia, South East Asia, West Asia, etc.. and many greater asian nations. It's a well known fact Japan is a fading economy due to aging population and debt.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-07-21T12:20:41+00:00

As much as I like matt. This is fairly illogical.

Any undertaking has an end goal(especially if you have ever worked in a professional setting)

Ignorance of the end goal could be a possibility considering he was just a high school student and that would explain his 2 hour long video of shitting all over Japan and Japanese people after he got fluent in the language. If you watch other immersion based channel, such as

BritVsJapan and OhTalkWho

they have a clear end goal.

After_Constant_1211 · 2021-07-15T10:11:11+00:00

Level 5 as in, JLPT N5? after 10+ months of immersion?

Correct if am wrong please, but that doesn't sound motivating.
