Today I listened to
The rest of the interview video of なつめさんち on さいとうなおき’s channel. It was fun to hear stuff about how they started their channel and such!
A comprehensible Japanese video about the Fukushima nuclear disaster
Episode 1 of Toradora! I have never seen it before and know little of what happens, and it was kind of higher up on my priority of stuff I wanted to watch. I also figured the setting would be good and not too crazy for listening learning. I know it’s a little premature, but I liked the first episode!! Looking forward to more
Detective Conan Convo Continued!
Eeeexcellent, very good. I definitely do the same lol, I was even worried in my response post if I was making it too long!
Wow, that’s awesome! I see I see
Oh yeah, I guess I didn’t really think about some of the episodes maybe not being available in English. I did notice on some spots like crunchyroll that there’s a big gap, but we haven’t gotten far enough for it to be a problem or for me to look into it haha
Wowww, that’s crazy! That’s was your start to learning Japanese? I love that!!
So you’re saying some of the episodes in Japanese aren’t even available on streaming platforms? Or you want to actually own it all by having the dvds?
Dang, that’s awesome!! I’m sure you’re well acquainted with those episodes
That’s so cool!! Man, that will be a momentous achievement when you have them all 
It seems like this franchise is a good one to be obsessed with, with how much material there is!! We’ve really enjoyed the amount we’ve seen, we love the character dynamics and the music and everything about it! Haha
I also realized, for it being such a popular series I knew/know very little about it, so we always get excited when there’s a through-line plot episode (black organization stuff and the like). Haha sometimes mom will jokingly gripe like “will he turn back to his old age? I want to see him turn back!” cause it also makes us sad to see Ran sad lol. But I’m just like “mom Imma go out on a limb and say that probably doesn’t permanently happen” 
But I’m curious if you don’t mind giving your knowledge, oh wise one in the conan ways
Does it feel like there’s, “eras” or something in the show? I understand it’s a pretty episodic show, and I like that! But I was curious if it feels like there’s definite vibes to different chunks of episodes, or different small plot developments
I’ve also been thinking of continuing to watch the anime, but also read all the manga in Japanese on my own. I already have the first 5 volumes! and when I go to Japan later this year I’m waffling between taking up all my luggage space with volumes, or buying them digitally. Because digital is more space efficient, but I love paper copies!! And it’s so hard when 100円 copies stare me in the faaace 
haha, but I guess I still have time to decide
