More Dorohedoro, of which one episode featured baseball with mutated cockroaches and zombified dead bodies. Extremely silly.
I also thought I’d try one of YUYU’s 怖い話 that @rikaiwisdom mentioned. I found it surprisingly understandable. Bookmarked for times when I’m not sure what else to watch/listen to.
But, that’s not precise enough! Surely there should be an option “Between 19 and 20 years old” or, even more precisely phrased, “Older than 19 years old and younger than 20 years old”.
Just a little listen today since I’m feeling worse today, and I ended up working late
Just one episode of Nihongo con Teppei for Beginners, and while I understood most of it there were definitely a few bits I wouldn’t quite follow.
I’m on holiday from work tomorrow though, so I’ll try to make up for it by doing extra listening tomorrow.
I listened to ~90 minutes of 崩れる脳を抱きしめて today. I’m around halfway done with the book and my evaluation is still just ‘ok’. Bit of a bummer as the other two books by the author I’ve liked a lot, but my summary of this book so far is just “guy with daddy issues struggles to maintain professional boundaries with patient”.
That sounds a bit harsh but really it’s fine. I should probably just speed it up so I stop being grumpy at how long winded it feels.
Made it to Ch 2-2 of 青ブタ9. That was longer than the usual section. But this volume is “only” 4 chapters. But is the same length as the previous volume. I think this is a volume I will finish in a week and then get back to shield hero. I’m happy I’m back in the book reading groove. My Chainsaw man reread really got me back on track.
Been poorly this week, wednesday I think it was teppi on the dogwalk and some N5 drills. Yesterday, I’m going to count listening to some Bunpro review sentences otherwise I’d have lost my streak!
Oh I also watched some episodes of a new drama on BBC called ‘Tokyo Vice’ and caught the odd word here and there when they were speaking Japanese.
Two more episodes of Dorohedoro today. With only one more episode to go, you’d think things would be getting clearer, but no, they’re just crazier than ever.
Also, I had a look at that OVA, and it’s apparently all 6 available OVA shorts combined into one episode. So Netflix apparently has everything.
Watched latter half episode of Pokemon - Sky full of Spears.
Listened to an episode of Learn Japanese of Noriko, interviewing another sensei, and giving advice. Then, a part of かがみの孤城, so concluding November, but I would probably read the 上 volume later (ends in December). I understand the storyline somewhat, probably enough to replace 下 volume, but also miss a lot – I would need to improve that somehow.
After, I got tired of listening for meaning, so just listen to songs.
Today I had a fun lesson with one of my tutors. We talked about lots of things including Pokemon, working from home and Black Friday. We also practised using ことになった and ここになっている.
I also listened to Lesson 7 of JapanesePod101’s Upper Beginner Season 1 podcast.
Again, similarly to the read every day thread. First week of the two since I last posted didn’t go as well as the past 7 days.
I finished Atashinchi and started Akebi-chan no sailor-fuku. Also going to do a rewatch of Atashinchi but without subtitles.
Then the odd vtuber/twitch stream but I usually struggle with focus. Also just remembered I wanted to watch more of those short neat Animal Crossing sketch videos on YT
Oh, also need to continue Amachan, it’s pretty entertaining. Started that asadora a long time ago after I finished Hiyokko.
Been continuing my rotation of reading with and without the audiobook. 青ブタ needs to be at 1.10x because the breaks are too long for me. By the time they continue I’m usually already finished with the sentence. 1.10 is pretty comfy but shield hero needs to be at 0.90x because the narrator is too fast. xD
I’ve continued to watch the very chill stream recordings on the personal channel of クリミナル
Today was a play through of Stray that I haven’t yet finished:
TBH his voice is just nice to listen to, which still amuses me given the voice altering he does on his main channel to sound creepy.
Oohh I’ll have to check them out, i love having chill lets plays on in the background while working. So thank you @pocketcat Reminds me i need to find the names of some of my old favourites!
(Hope its ok me commenting here as I’m not actually doing the challenge! I am hoping to hop on next time yall start though and have been lurking )
It certainly does look like that, doesn’t it?
Then again, when we say that someone is 19 years old – we don’t mean that they are exactly 19 years old and not a nanosecond older (otherwise, the statement would stop being true before we’d even finish saying it)… You can be 19 years and 364 days and 23 hours and 59 minutes old and still be 19 years old… So, I guess, people between 19 and 20 years old fall into “19 years old or younger” category
I’ve watched three episodes of Blue Period yesterday. I Love this anime soo much тт Can recommend it to everyone!!
I’ve had language reactor on, so i had japanese subtitles and could look some words up. I’ve already read the manga, so it was quite easy for me to understand what’s going on.
P.S. I’ve installed a vpn service today, so netflix thinks that i’m in japan and i have access to more japanese shows and japanese dubbed shows!
