Listening is a lot more difficult than reading, since the dialogue moves at a native-level speed. Lexically, I don't think something like Precure would be complicated at all, but the speed combined with casual grammar might make it challenging for beginners to keep up with. Many anime characters will also pronounce in an intentionally silly manner which can be indecipherable to foreign ears.

I would recommend shounen/shoujo manga instead, as it allows you to read at your own pace and easily search up words thanks to the furigana. But for raw anime, once you're able to read at a decent speed (maybe 50 - 75% that of your native language speed), you should be able to keep up with a decent amount of anime.

haha thanks

Thank you! It's definitely been a long and strange road from then until now.

I do have an interest in living in Japan again. It would also be easy to do so since a spouse visa is now available to me. I wasn't a big fan of the work culture at the time, but there's a lot of other things (the safety and lack of crime, for example) that I miss deeply about Japan. So moving back some time next year is always a possibility, once international travel is allowed again.

There are some characters that are capable of beating him with the right circumstances.

For sure. On workdays all I want to do is sleep right after I get home. If work ends a bit earlier I might be able to get an hour or so in of video games that day, but otherwise all my other hobbies are left for my days off.

Japan is the best country to be in as a tourist or an exchange student, but working here is a whole 'nother story.

I’m looking at your favourites list

Hi, I am dollie

Not at all. It's essentially a utopia: crime is almost nonexistent, it has the best transit in the world, polite and mannered people, no obesity, cheap living costs, amazing food, etc. And it's cool as hell - even after a year and a half, I still felt awed every time I went somewhere like Shinjuku Station at night and saw all the neon lights and 12-story shopping malls and whatnot surrounding me.

I guess it's kind of novel seeing anime stuff in public for the first time, but it's very easy to earn a deeper appreciation for Japan. I actually can't stand living in Canada now because it feels like a third-world country by comparison. Super excited to go back for work in the spring, which, I hope, will be a permanent stay this time!

No idea cause i majored in Computer science ;)

Not Veronin, but if you like Aikatsu, you'll like its other seasons and Stars. It's fairly consistent in quality all the way through, even if the original series and Stars have different strengths and weaknesses (maybe because of the new director). Haven't seen PriPara, so I can't answer that part.

Yeah. It also doesn't help that most news organisations censor or refuse to report on events that run contrary to their leftist agenda, i.e. that one dude on CNN who saved someone and had his shirt blurred out because it was pro-Trump. The press is deceitful ass.

I guess so. I mean, I'm pretty much living the life I always wanted to live years ago. Being in Japan, knowing the language, having all the money and freedom I need, friends, and so on-- it's not so bad. It's definitely a 180 from before when I was at the literal bottom. It still feels like something is missing, though-- maybe I just want a relationship with a cute girl here.

I think it's fun to watch them melt down over the results of the election and the realisation that they don't actually have an influence on anything.

The leftist bias doesn't surprise me anymore since 'journalists' major in crap like sociology and have no actual real-world experience in anything.

@ Ryukatsu:

You should feel even worse for giving it a 10/10.
