Today I listened to… the same episode of Japanese from Small Talk. Honestly it’s still been a challenging episode - it turns out listening while walking with a lot of wind noise isn’t much better than listening on a train and I’m still not entirely happy with my comprehension level, but I think I’m going to just deal with it and move on for now on this one.

Island, visual novel.
Unfortunately, it’s the third and last time I play this game as the main character and me are not getting along well 
I might begin another visual novel soon, I’ve got a lot of those waiting for me.

New milestone!

Watched the final episode of Kusuriya! 
Yaaa, suteki deshita. I really like the art style and the music. As for listening practice, … muzui TuT. It’s like reading the books all over again and when you’re not used to it, it’s tough. So it’s not just the books, but the anime as well, I’d give this a high Natively score.
That’s 4 of 6 series in my home post done this challenge

Weekly Italki lesson.
My webcam stopped working in the middle of the class, so I was distracted 
Also tranlated and sang again and again 2 songs ^^ I pity my neighbors (no complaint so far )

Double update today, with a double dose of Persona 3 Reload.
I am SUCH a dum-dum beacuse I just realized you can use Yomitan on YouTube subtitles 
I only have two videos left from Nihongo-learning, and five from Comprehensible Japanese, so I should finish on the last day of the challenge.
Such a nice timing !

Discussion part 1 about saseteitadaku. Seems like people don’t like it and still it’s being used to this day even after 100 years

A long anime bout today, including a rewatch of episode 6 because I was honestly super sleepy when I watched that one.
Episode 7 started with the most rigged job interview ever, so realism points for that one.
Only to promptly lose all those realism points in episode 8 where the programmers are the extroverts and the character designers are the awkward introverts at the company lunch.
Also, you know when animators are just so frustrated that they just take a real photo and put a filter over it and stuff it in their anime lol:
I can’t remember where I heard it, but people had said that they didn’t like a character introduced relatively late to the anime, I’m guessing that’s Momo.
Episode 9: Ok, maybe people hate the other new girl. Bullying sakura like that!

Daily brief x1
狼と香辛料 Vol.2 Ch.5-6 (8:39-9:35/11:47). Almost the end now, but continue probably. Image inserts are spoilers.
本好きの下剋上 Vol.1, first 30 min. I can’t go higher than 1.2x. Maybe some words unknown, or incomprehensible/imperceptible, remain unknown. (I can read, though.)
Still here ! I was just too lazy to post here those past three days.
I’ve been doing something a little different : listening, translating (the written text), annoting the pronunciation and singing songs in japanese. It’s a lot of fun 
It’s interesting to see how words and sounds are sung in japanese. When in most of english songs, singers swallow a lot of syllables, in japanese it’s the contrary, the ん and い in particular are often very enunciated. Some sounds are swallowed too, though, like the つ.

And finished one more anime season before the end of the challenge period. Which means this season I have watched 5 anime seasons in Japanese, which is 5 more than before 
I was a bit caught off guard by all the death flags in my workplace slice of life, lol

Watched Frieren ep 19 + 20. I really like the OP and ED theme songs.

The Jam Maker on Satori Reader, episodes 13 & 14.
Sometimes I understand 3 or 4 sentences in row and then nothing
Fortunately, it’s always better when I listen the second time after having read the episode.
Free episodes 1 to 4.
I’ve nearly finished watching my 3 other anime series so it’s time to begin new ones^^
These days, I’m playing a tabletop RPG where we play the members of a sports team (Fight with spirit!), so I’m researching 
tbh, I’ve always loved sports anime since アタッカーYOU!, so I’m not really forcing myself here

Watched ep 21 of Frieren. I’m starting to fear random encounters with spoilers on youtube now that the series has ended
