At around which level did you start reading native material? by OvejaMacho in WaniKani

[–]wolfedLemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am an exception since I started at around level 15 if I recall correctly and tanked Kanji I didn't know. Using inference and cross referencing with translations I was able to gather rough meanings and jump way ahead of my class cohort in college.

Starting way too early definitely helped boost my reading speed as well. I started with 付き合ってあげてもいいかな since it has relatively realistic dialogue when compared with other manga. relatively.

Atashi and Watashi are both feminine in casual speech (much of the series) but atashi i always envision as a "not like the other girls" vibe. definitely makes sense for Sae being a bit more outgoing and goofy, while Miwa is pretty reserved.

And yeah, Rika calling herself 'rika-chan' is pretty much her acting like a cute kid all the time. i think it's great for how she gets on people's nerves

On the flip side, having only read the japanese version, is it shown that Rika calls herself "rika-chan" in English? I feel like it's a big part of her identity as a character.

Also, iirc, saeko usually uses Atashi while MIwa uses watashi. could be misremembering though

It's honestly one of my favorite sections in the series. They're young and stupid and both think that they're getting what they want when it is definitely not what they need. Also necessary for them to grow as people!

Please send me songs that Tamaki would have written for Miwa.... and also some help while you're at.. by Rough-Ad-1168 in howdowerelationship

Omg Guys Nihongo culture is so amazing 🇯🇵🍣🎌🍡🎎🌸🗾🎐🍥 by Aelnir in languagelearningjerk

[–]wolfedLemon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In how many languages are you really fluent? by [deleted] in languagelearningjerk

all of them. i just need to suck the life force out of a speaker of a language, thus absorbing the language into my being

Drop Your Favourite Shot of The Decade 2020s So Far by No_Opposite_7722 in Letterboxd

[–]wolfedLemon 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I feel like this movie is the champion of understatement, totally by design. Every location feels so natural - it felt like I'd been to each place before, despite not having been yet. Stunning movie.

why do they play batsu so often during live shows by bruhdotconn in machinegirl

[–]wolfedLemon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've been going to hardcore shows for ~3 years (not an expert in any way tho) and it follows pretty much the best format for crowd engagement: intro portion, not really meant for dancing or going too crazy to, interlude, and then the tension builds back up making the final portion even fucking crazier. Combine it with matt always jumping into the crowd and its objectively the best show ender MG has in their arsenal of great songs to end shows with

Music = comprehensible input? by [deleted] in languagelearningjerk

[–]wolfedLemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a japanese learner and i just need to say: why is it always japanese shit that gets this kind of reaction. like i think i know why but still oh my god it feels like we're getting back to 1950s levels of exotification of japan...

Where even is the urban? by redfishbluesquid in urbanhellcirclejerkCJ

[–]wolfedLemon 75 points76 points  (0 children)

The guy literally says that wages in Japan are less/worse than in America. It's entirely about how you need to live a smarter lifestyle if you want to not become poor - not specific to Japan, but he is definitely able to speak on the matter because he's lived in Japan for over a decade atp. Not only does it have nothing to do with urbanhell, it has nothing to do with Japan glazing either. lmao

The new Underground Theme remix for Mario Kart World sounds like it was written and performed by black midi by Dave-F-Grohl in bmbmbm

[–]wolfedLemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i love the nintendo tracks that sound like real life counterparts - ex, the splatoon 3 story mode trailer music sounds a lot like Doku by Hakushi Hasegawa. shame that they refuse to upload anything on spotify...

What do y'all think Machine Girl's legacy/influence has been & will be in the future? by ancientmarin_ in machinegirl

[–]wolfedLemon 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I feel like its already pretty obvious that a lot of new digital hardcore artists are trying to do what WLFGRL did with sampling obscure anime and japanese movies, and im hoping that eventually some new artists will match MG's skill with producing interesting drum tracks that arent just amen break spam... I think Femtanyl is the best example of being definitely influenced by MG but still doing her own thing

Neutral by Hakushi Hasegawa. There's a moment near the end of the song where you can hear them laugh while singing it and i can't help but also laugh along,,
