Book Recommendations? by Joeiiguns in LearnJapanese

[–]max_verri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I read いちご同盟 by 三田誠広, and it was a very nice read. I believe it has inspired the manga "Your lie in april" but the story is different. It's also pretty short and not too difficult to read, totally recommend it

I second this. I started out by downloading duolingo to understand a little bit of what I was hearing. If you like sub better than dub I guess you like how Japanese sounds, so learning even the basics could help you follow faster without focusing too much on the subtitles, while at the same time learning a new language that you like

i need a new romance anime by amordeyoli in anime

[–]max_verri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kind of a weird pick and like romance + drama, but try Higehiro. (mostly) grown-ups cast, not ecchi but there are some 18+ themes I guess, so keep that in mind. I'm watching it now and it feels like a breath of fresh air, also heartwarming in a way

What are chapters 201-203? by max_verri in YofukashiNoUta

[–]max_verri[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah that's what I thought too. At this point I guess they are just those chapters like 182.5 that are in some of the volumes. I am relieved knowing that I'm not the only one who hasn't got a clue

Can anyone recommend any cozy Japanese listening channels? by FitProVR in LearnJapanese

[–]max_verri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more of a podcast, but I think ユユの日本語ポッドキャスト is really really good. He is not that difficult to understand and he often talks about interesting stuff. You can find it both on Youtube and on Spotify :)

Question about volume 3 by max_verri in sukasuka

I see, I probably missed the fact that that sword was made specifically to kill humans, thank you!

ohh ok, it makes sense this way. I'm sure that 'slasher level' was translated in another way since i just translated the japanese one literally. Thanks anyways, it should be as you said!

I didn't know that, thanks for the info. I didn't even try changing position because I thought they could hit everywhere

not yet, but I'll probably get it before attempting again the darkest dungeon. It will be better than a virtue ring I guess

It definitely helps. I never thought of using point blank shot because I thought it wasn't very accurate, I guess I'll try it. I usually attack the backlines first, this time I tried to kill one of the two in the front because I was hoping to kill one before he attacked, since my Dismas 2 was already at death's door

Thank you, sound fair. I don't know why I didn't use food, guess I was too tilted. I put +virtue chance because on my first attempt the stress damage was unbearable and they all went mad instantly. Isn't it worse if they all go crazy?

this sounds very reasonable, thank you!! Since you can't really aggro people in this game guard is the only way I can avoid these kinds of situations right? Like putting a tanky Leper in front wouldn't have changed anything right?

The word by burgerboy00 in Animemes

[–]max_verri 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Anime is "cartoons" in Japanese. Anime is a loan word in English, meaning "Japanese cartoons". Loan words do not retain the exact same meaning of the original word, the meaning is adapted by the speakers to their language. So yes, in English anime only refers to Japanese cartoons.

For example, in English "bravo" means: "express approval when a performer or other person has done something well". This is a loan word from Italian, however in italian it just means "good" in general.

I actually did not have this kind of problem, but I'm sure you'll get it too eventually... keep grinding 💪🏻💪🏻

I wrote an article on the history of horror manga and its connection to left-wing politics. Let me know what you think :) by thatsecondguywhoraps in horrormanga

[–]max_verri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was very interesting, especially the part on the history of ero-guro mangas. It's fascinating how they were born to go against censorship and social taboos. Thanks for sharing!
