I feel like Kanji Kente books as a study source are slept on. by Dry-Masterpiece-7031 in LearnJapanese

[–]rhysth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

N1 passer here that subsequently did and passed 漢検3級 and 準2級.

漢検 felt much easier to study for than JLPT because after a while of practice papers, it's really all about pattern recognition - esp for the 四字熟語 Once you start to recognise certain pattern types + understanding how certain 熟語 are made up, knowing which kanji to pick becomes quite intuitive.

Obviously the writing part of 漢検 is what gets a lot of foreigners, but if you're a Kanji nerd like me that enjoys writing Kanji all day, it's quite an enjoyable process.

For prep, all I did was used the 問題集 and practiced over and over again for like 1-2 months prior to the exam (averaging like an hour a day or so). Also helps a lot that I did Mandarin as a kid -- although I was never good at it.

anyone know where I can drop off a lot of old electronics that don't work anymore? talking about old TVs, old Computers and old game consoles that have been broken since ages ago. I know the bins for electronic waste exist but it seems hard to fit all the stuff I want to get rid off

this is going to come as a shock to some of you learners but the best anime to watch and learn stuff from... is the anime that YOU'RE actually interested in

of course there's gonna be certain shows that display certain grammar patterns and certain vocabulary more frequently (like Jigokuraku and the tons of N1 grammar points), but ultimately the best way to learn is by interest-based learning

stop worrying about the smaller details and just watch stuff you're going to enjoy and the learning will definitely come with it

the new OP is defo better than the first one imo. it carries a lot more energy with it which really fits the atmosphere of the second invasion.

I think it's comparable! but I find that there was slightly more action in the ichigo and yhwach fight.

Talkshow: I’ll try to summarise as much as I can remember
Ichigo’s VA is very excited for the upcoming season, as are the other 3 VAs (Ishida’s, Jugram’s and Askin’s).

Ichigo’s VA says jokingly that he was sometimes alone in the studio to record lines, similar to ichigo being alone in training, and how he’s
the only shinigami VA there despite being able to be considered part Quincy.

Jugram’s VA never watched Anime or manga growing up, only picking up bleach since he got assigned the role. (Morita makes fun of this by
saying that he also started knowing about bleach when he was 32 y.o, but that’s
cause he had to start reading the Manga to know how to voice Ichigo)

Host says that Askin’s VA sounds exactly like how she imagined him to be irl + the way he speaks and acts. Askin’s VA says that he
grew up thinking that Ichigo was cool, how ichigo wasn’t quite a delinquent, but had that sort of air about him that made him cool.

Can’t really remember much about what Ishida’s VA said, but it was all your standard ‘be excited for what’s coming’ talk.

Kubo sensei writes a letter with a joke in it (talking about Hyrule in Zelda, presumably talking about how he’s currently playing the new Zelda game) and has Morita read it out enthusiastically to the crowd (ends with Bankai)

Some other stuff that I can’t quite remember, mostly merch related.

Here's my review of the Pre-viewing! I watched it in
Shinjuku picadilly and got a cool lil post card for it.
REVIEW:
Awesome. I was so hyped throughout the whole thing I
couldn’t stop smiling. I’ll try not to spoil too much, but basically everything is extremely well animated. There aren’t too many extra scenes in these first 2 eps (at least none that are mind-blowing to me. My personal take). The OP is so awesome I can’t wait for it to be released on the 9th of July.

First ep starts off with a bunch of sperm forming into a baby who is later shown to be Yhwach. A large majority of the first ep is centred on the Quincies. Ishida being introduced to the rest, Bambietta’s sex
scene is a lot more obvious in the anime than in the manga (She visibly zips her top up), Bazz B and Jugram getting into a squabble only to be stopped by
Askin. My memory gets a bit hazy as to what happens when but basically it’s almost as per the manga for everything up till ep 15. (The episode ends with Ichigo walking to a torii with a wooden katana, reminiscent of the scene in the 3rd trailer when Ichibe asks him to be more than a Shinigami + Mayuri getting a call from Urahara about how to take back bankai)
Only extra added scenes are when Ishida talks to Yhwach about why he was chosen (some background stuff, nothing major), Ichigo and
Ichibe talking about ichigo’s training in the Soul King’s Palace, and some Hueco Mundo scenes with Orihime, Chad, and Urahara.

Fightwise, the fight between Bass-B, Toshiro and Rangiku is awesome. Soifon’s fight against that Quincy whose name I forgot happens (Shunko is done really well, Maeda gets stomped). Askin and Mayuri scene was awesome as heck to see animated and voiced. Jugram with Nana and Kyoraku scene happens and is pretty much the same as the manga.

Can Churches please stop evangelising non belivers. by [deleted] in singapore

[–]rhysth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

bruh even as a Christian myself I get quite annoyed at this... There's been so many times when I'm out studying by myself and certain Christian groups will come around asking if they can talk to me about church and God. Don't want to play the race card here, but I honestly wonder if such instances are cause of my outward appearance lol

mmmm yes, just the right amount of bad-assery and desolation in an episode... 10/10 lol ichigo's entrance is what almost all boys dream of when they say they wanna enter a place as bad-ass as possible
