"Kimi ni todoke" is AMAZING. It gets a bit frustrating with how slow things are moving, but everything feels so rewarding when it happens and characters are just so awesome! I won't be able to say which of them have slang or how much since I am still a beginner level, but here are my personal recommendations: 1. Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san (Teasing master Takagi-san) - extremely cute, super wholesome and the pacing seems really good as well and I did not notice any unnatural forms of speech there. I guarantee you are going to roll off your sofa/chair because of how cute it is XD 2. Akebi-chan no Sērāfuku (Akebi's Sailor Uniform) - very underrated and really good watch overall, also seems like they speak very naturally in it. The intro song is also really cute! 3. Oregairu - very nice story, gets a bit heavy and complex at times, but is very wholesome! 4. Go-Tōbun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets) - It is pretty funny, cute and intriguing. If you haven't read the manga or watched the show + movie, then I wonder who would be your best girl and whom of the 5 sisters is the protagonist's bride? I say you should watch it to find out ;) 5. Amagami SS - based on a dating sim game, it shows the protagonist in different romance routes, so once an arc ends, the story comes back to the beginning and shows what happens if he chooses someone else etc. It is cute, really funny and so wholesome especially with some of the routes (make sure to watch all OVAs and specials as well!) 6. Tada-kun wa Koi o Shinai (Tada Never Falls in Love) - very wholesome story about a Japanese guy who ends up falling in love with a foreign girl, and the intro song is really awesome! 7. Higehiro - I say ignore the controversy around it and actually just watch the show, it really is interesting and wholesome, but gets pretty sad at times though. Very good story overall and intro song by Dialogue+ never disappoints XD 8. Kaguya-sama: Love is War! - Love is a big battlefield and the first one who confesses - loses! I think you should watch it to find out the rest and you will love it :) 9. Tsuredure children - Comedy with short episodes, really cute and funny! 10. Ganbare Douki-chan! - Another comedy made up of shorts, really funny as well! I can write even more, but let's keep it at 10 for now, hope whoever decides to pick these up enjoys them! (PLZ NO SPOILERS!)
I wouldn't recommend Akebi chan and Tsuredure children for absolute serious beginners since there's some slang involved. And even ones like Kaguya-sama use quite mid-high level japanese since they are at the age where such language proficiency is justified. Same goes for Quintessential
Komi can`t Communicate is an anime I can recommend. It helped me with my Hiragana and Katakana also, because it has these boxes that depict some spoken Words in Japanese wrighting.
I’m watching it now and I quite like how she writes what she’s saying down a lot of the time. I like to pause it and read the sentence and go through it.
This is such a great starting place! I love that you go through each one and say what is good about it for learning. It's also the first time I've heard the full name of "Ranma 1/2" said in Japanese as we always say "Ranma One Half" in English here. Thanks for making this :).
聲の形 (Koe no katachi) English name is "Silent voice" I think. It's a great anime! They talk very slow and you can also see a lot of text because the main girl is deaf. Also I love this movie!
I tend to lean towards fantasy-based anime, but what you said at the end about fantasy vs the others makes sense. The speech from fantasy anime, or even historical anime from the past, will be different and harder to understand. I find this true and will have to give some of these a watch. Thank you for the video and the recommendations to help our listening/understanding skills with Japanese!
Disagree, I have watched old samurai movies and understood most of the dialogue and have watched modern “simple” anime and had no clue what some character said. Totally depends on the context and situation
i like you a lot because you are really authentic Japanese,not trying to impress anyone,but at the same time anyone who truly love Japanese is gonna love you
THANK YOU THIS WILL HLEP MY STUDIES MORE! i am going soon to move to japan to work at a paper factry. the company specialices in diffrent papers used for origami. with diffrent types of patterns and shades. i am so excited and deciding to study
3:23 AHHHH!! I love Kimi ni todoke!!! I love the chemistry between kazehaya and sawako... never really cared about the slow pacing... for me it just makes it better that aside I don't know alot of japanese (only from anime) but I did notice how neat sawako's japanese was while chizuru and ayane (and I think kazehaya too) mostly spoke in slang language...
I learned a lot from watching Chobits simply because Chii is like a little girl and whenever something is explained to her or she learns something, is repeated often so you learn it as well. Having said that, is a cute story but probably not for everyone, some stuff is pretty dark.
OMG Kimi ni Todoke is beautiful anime thanks a lot for remenber that, and thanks that I enter to the world of lear a little bit of japanese Arigato sensei
in Japanese class in school we sometimes watch anime while our teacher is revising our tests so we can learn while having fun and our teacher can do work. we don't usually watch anime in class though, usually we learn new words and sentence (as well as grammar) and also go over stuff we've already learnt to make sure we understand
I'm having good luck with "The Long Riders" a cycling anime. Lots of everyday phrases and easy to understand dialogue with very little background noise.
I've been learning for about 2 years, I've never seen any of these lol. I never worry too much about whether or not they use real Japanese, since it's not hard to distinguish real and anime Japanese. And you will eventually need to be able to know both real and Anime Japanese in order to be fluent, so it doesn't matter how realistic the Japanese is. If you want to learn how real people speak, you have to listen to real people speak. Japanese TH-cam and social media help a lot if you aren't in Japan to get some reference material.
@@rachelcookie321 ヒカル is a pretty popular channel in Japan, he has like 2mil subs I think, his speech is pretty well spoken so he is a good reference for speaking style. I don't know how much Japanese you know so I'm not sure if his videos will be too hard. If you like watching let's plays, ゆうなchannel is a pretty laid back channel and her commentary is usually easy to understand, plus there's the game to use as immersion too. There was one channel I forgot the name of that interviews foreigners in Japan, the conversations in those videos are easy to understand as well, I wish I could remember the channel name. Either way, I'd really recommend searching on TH-cam in Japanese about topics you're into, because there might be something that you really like.
@@ntrg3248 thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check them out. It’s hard for me to just search topics I’m into because I watch a lot of different things on TH-cam. Usually what determines if I enjoy it isn’t the topic, it’s how the youtuber acts. If I like someone’s personality then I’ll watch their videos on any topic.
@@ntrg3248 that’s what I noticed too. I’ve seen a few Japanese youtubers pop up in my recommended and stuff and usually they’re very loud and they edit a lot of effects into the video and stuff. That’s too much for me.
For learning speaking and listening at an absolute beginner level, I would recommend any anime with simple themes, simple storylines, normal if not slightly slower talking speeds, and easy to follow settings. So unfortunately that means for the time being missing out on stuff like Konosuba, Bunny girl senpai, kimi no nawa, your lie in april etc. AK Rex in the comments gave a pretty decent list to start with, though some of it are definitely a bit more advanced. Then to enhance listening, repeat watching and listening episodes to fully understand what the characters are saying, all the way until you can clearly follow the storyline without subs or translations. As Mochi sensei recommends, Nichijou, Doraemon, azumanga daioh are amazing for re-watchability and once you get the hang of the pacing of the dialogue, you can try to mimic what is being said, with the right pitch and intonation. Of course if you can get a hold of the Japanese language manga of the anime you're learning from, it would be good as well to visualise what they are saying, so you can improve both reading and listening at once. Good luck in your learning journey!
I totally learned all of my Japanese by just watching anime, reading manga, and playing video games. My first Japanese teachers were literally: - Son Goku & Vegeta from Dragonball - Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakuso - Lina Inverse from Slayers - Zenki - Ninku (the coolest ninja series before Naruto) - 3x3 Eyes - Ranma 1/2 - Sailor Moon/Wedding Peach, NAS (Nurse) Angel, - Slam Dunk - Macross - Bakuretsu Hunters - Evangelion And a LOT of manga reading on the train between anime-watching sessions! 🤣
Thank you for making this video, I've been trying to find reading/listening resources that are N5 and N4 level. I don't typically watch anime, but I will definitely try these out! Also I love your hair!
Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me to You is streaming 2 seasons on Hulu. I had a bit of an issue with the show not playing after the ads. But just keep clicking it will work eventually. Unfortunately, you cannot turn off English Sub nor can you change it to Japanese Sub.
I love ranma1/2 and inuyasha. But I love YuYu hakusho, meitantei conan and rurouni kenshin. More. Actually deathnote, code geass and hxh also famous overseas.
Aaa thank you, I was wondering which anime I should watch and then I remembered that you just made an Instagram post about this :) I’ll start watching your first recommendation just after writing this comment :) I loved Shirokuma cafe, it was so cute !! I learnt so much with it ♥️♥️ And Nichijou and Doraemon ♥️♥️ for animes I’ve been trying to learn Japanese with, recently I’ve been watching Atashin’chi in Japanese. I understand the story even without subtitles so I think it’s easy level? But the voices go very fast I think? (I’ve heard say recently that Japanese is one of the language with the highest debit of speaking anyways 😭🥰🔥). Otherwise I think Aggressive Retsuko’s 10 first episodes from season 1 were hilarious. And I don’t know if the level of Japanese is easy or not because I watched it with subtitles, but I love animes that explore a prefecture from Japan and so I looved Yuru Camp and Golden Kamuy (If anyone has an anime to recommend that heavily explores a city/prefecture, I would very much love to see it). Your video was very nice to see and the comments under the videos seem very interesting too ! I am checking out more your TH-cam channel ! I hope you have a great day
Listening anime in original japanese is usefull to learn some japanese words. I know Daijobu, itadakimasu, shigatsu, neechan, buta, okasa, suki desu, hajimete, uta, aitaii and something more.
I love Japanese anime as long as it’s not too sexual. I’ve watched almost all the studio Gibli movies several times. Plus the one about the fox that turns into a girl that travels with a merchant. And a few others. My latest favorite was both of the Sailor Moon series. I’m surprised you never mentioned them. I’ve still not watched the last 2 movies, Eternal and Cosmos. They do speak very fast at times.
Speaking of anime by Rumiko Takahashi you have mentioned, I'm already in full run of original Urusei Yatsura. But I will definitely give a shot to those ones you name, since until now I literally had no motivation to either learn or improve my Japanese.
One time I turned the suns on while watching Dragonball. Interestingly enough the translation was for the original Japanese dialogue not the English overdub. I was surprised how different the 2 were. I've been watching Japanese stuff in Japanese for years and still haven't a clue what's being said. I'd like to visit Japan but not if I can't communicate.
I think Cardcaptor Sakura is also great for learning Japanese. It's more of a kid's anime, and there's a lot of scenes related to daily life, like cooking or school events. It's very cute, too, problematic 90s stuff aside.
I recently watched anime which I liked before in Japanese now. So I don't know if it's difficult or not but I think for listening and get used to the language it doesn't matter. I watched Gundam, Hai Sukoa Gāru, most of the Gibli movies, Initial D and many more. Lately, I watched Kimi ni todoke. I don't know if I have learned that much but I always loved to listen to Japanese. Hahaha.
This is a correction for a term you use. Anrhropomorphise - first it's not a word. Anthropomorphize is how you spell it. It's a verb, not an adjective. Spelling aside, you did a good job pronouncing it. Anthropomorphic - This is the adjective form of the word and what you should have been using. Both words are a bit a mouthful for a lot of English speakers, and many have no clue what the words even means. So there's no reason to feel bad about not knowing which form is which.
i wish there were songs to learn japanese , songs tend to stick with you for almost ever . like the song that i heard in supermarket about fish(sakana sakana sakana song ) that i don't think i can ever forget about and thats how i memorized words like sakana , taberu, atama for the first time that i could never forget .
Ιn Greek, Antropos means 'human', and 'mophi' means 'form' or 'shape', so 'anthropomorphism' is when something that isnt human, is made to look like human :) Like when you make a cat into a human looking girl or like how there was one anime with warships taking form of girls
do y'all watch these without the subtitles? I might cause the more you practice a word or words and you can't see what it's saying but you hear it, it helps you to remember it.
we have chibi marukochan broadcast on tv back then but in malay dub with japanese original opening song 😅 my family love this anime because it daily life of asian people, like how we shower together with sibling or parent, and dad butt naked walking around home to find his cloth 🤣
Some really good shows mentioned here and some I hadn't heard of. I'll definitely be checking them out. Ms. Mochi is waaay too cute, but she should remember to look at the camera, not the monitor :)
It's going to take me a long time to name all the anime I seen, I watched cyborg 009 , android kinkider,inuyasha,yuyuhakisho, Gundam wing, gundam seed Gundam unicorn, pokemon,trigun,sailor moon , cowboy bebop,out law Star, tenchi muyo tenchi universe , vann dread , rosario vampire,dragon ball,dragon ball z ,dragon ball gt,samurai x,my hero academia ,one piece ,hellsing, hellsing ultimate,JoJo bizarre adventure,soul eater,bleach ,Tokyo ghoul,
Hontouni arigato for recommend many anime must watch before boku no jinsei END ,i known half of that sensei recommend to ...i got accents and romaji from watching anime by never learn basic before actually i learned was high school but sensei not happy to teach because classroomi was not her and not main program to study and students known as brates ...Inuyasha is boku no ichiban no any anime cant' defeat replace to my heart
I don't know if the Japanese is easy or difficult, but I really enjoyed Non Non Biyori, which is a cute slice-of-life Anime about a group of girls of different ages who live in rural Japan.
Non Non Biyori is brilliant. I currently watch the show and read the manga. It is indeed good for beginners. The topics are easy to follow but they use sometimes slang and difficult vocabulary. But all in all I would recommend it too.
Yes! Non Non Biyori is definitely on the easier side of anime, but there are still plenty of new words to learn, so it's great. It's also very refreshing and wholesome. Also, all of the ending songs are sung by the female characters and they're really beautiful songs!
I am so glad to see nichijou here. It has a LOT of puns and niche Japanese cultural jokes, but that is what makes it such a joy to watch and listen to. Edit: I recently was gifted Nichijou books 1-10 in Japanese as a birthday present and I love reading through it as a beginner. Does most of it go over my head? Maybe. But that’s the point of learning a language. I’ll be rereading it over and over again until that doesn’t happen anymore.
As someone who isn't really into a lot of slice-of-life or children's shows, the anime I would recommend is Aku no Hana. It's a pretty dark story with a lot of drama, but it's set in middle school and uses a lot of realistic, everyday language. Edit: I'll add some context and say that I tend to enjoy dark, disturbing content, and Aku no Hana definitely belongs in that category, so stay away from it if you think it'll be too much for you. I'll also say that there is no TRUE beginner anime. If you have little to no experience with Japanese, anything you watch will sound like gibberish to you no matter what.
I read the summary on Wikipedia and it looks like Dark Slice of Life to me, so as someone who rarely watches Slice of Life this is no alternative for me.
@@earthbind83 it's not dark at all I don't know who wrote that. It's fun, comedy, slice of life, drama it will make you laugh and cry. It's one of my favourite anime of all time. I couldn't recommend it enough I see it in anime youtubers top ten and sometimes number one of their anime of all time. If your an anime fan you owe to yourself to watch it.
I really like learning Japanese with Nichijou and Sakamoto desu ga. They both use fairly normal words about daily life. Sakamoto desu ga does have some slang and "tough guy speak" but it's not too much and the anime itself is really funny and charming.
Wow it's impressive that you were able to pronounce a word like anthropomorphism as a non-native speaker of any Latin-romance or Germanic language. I'm sure even some native speakers might struggle to pronounce it properly.
"Kimi ni todoke" is AMAZING. It gets a bit frustrating with how slow things are moving, but everything feels so rewarding when it happens and characters are just so awesome!
I won't be able to say which of them have slang or how much since I am still a beginner level, but here are my personal recommendations:
1. Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san (Teasing master Takagi-san) - extremely cute, super wholesome and the pacing seems really good as well and I did not notice any unnatural forms of speech there. I guarantee you are going to roll off your sofa/chair because of how cute it is XD
2. Akebi-chan no Sērāfuku (Akebi's Sailor Uniform) - very underrated and really good watch overall, also seems like they speak very naturally in it. The intro song is also really cute!
3. Oregairu - very nice story, gets a bit heavy and complex at times, but is very wholesome!
4. Go-Tōbun no Hanayome (The Quintessential Quintuplets) - It is pretty funny, cute and intriguing. If you haven't read the manga or watched the show + movie, then I wonder who would be your best girl and whom of the 5 sisters is the protagonist's bride? I say you should watch it to find out ;)
5. Amagami SS - based on a dating sim game, it shows the protagonist in different romance routes, so once an arc ends, the story comes back to the beginning and shows what happens if he chooses someone else etc. It is cute, really funny and so wholesome especially with some of the routes (make sure to watch all OVAs and specials as well!)
6. Tada-kun wa Koi o Shinai (Tada Never Falls in Love) - very wholesome story about a Japanese guy who ends up falling in love with a foreign girl, and the intro song is really awesome!
7. Higehiro - I say ignore the controversy around it and actually just watch the show, it really is interesting and wholesome, but gets pretty sad at times though. Very good story overall and intro song by Dialogue+ never disappoints XD
8. Kaguya-sama: Love is War! - Love is a big battlefield and the first one who confesses - loses! I think you should watch it to find out the rest and you will love it :)
9. Tsuredure children - Comedy with short episodes, really cute and funny!
10. Ganbare Douki-chan! - Another comedy made up of shorts, really funny as well!
I can write even more, but let's keep it at 10 for now, hope whoever decides to pick these up enjoys them! (PLZ NO SPOILERS!)
Wow your comment looks amazing ! I am going to go through the recommendations slowly but thank you so much for posting this, it looks great !

You can get that from literally any anime simply by using subtitles
I agree it's one anime I will reccomend to other learners. I like the mix of standard and casual japanese in the show.
I’m watching it now and I quite like how she writes what she’s saying down a lot of the time. I like to pause it and read the sentence and go through it.
@@rachelcookie321 You know Japanese subtitles exist, right?
Meson Ikkoku is definetly a very good one to get familiar with everyday life vocabulary and expressions. I love it.

- 3x3 Eyes
- Ranma 1/2
- Sailor Moon/Wedding Peach, NAS (Nurse) Angel,
- Slam Dunk
- Macross
- Bakuretsu Hunters
- Evangelion
And a LOT of manga reading on the train between anime-watching sessions! 🤣
"Maison Ikkoku" et "Kimi ni todoke", la base!

I thought Non Non Biyori was/is a really good and realtively easy slice of life to use to practice Japanese listening ^^
Your english is very good xD I think girls und panzer is a good anime for this list, though it features many languages besides japanese
I love Japanese anime as long as it’s not too sexual. I’ve watched almost all the studio Gibli movies several times. Plus the one about the fox that turns into a girl that travels with a merchant. And a few others.
My latest favorite was both of the Sailor Moon series. I’m surprised you never mentioned them. I’ve still not watched the last 2 movies, Eternal and Cosmos. They do speak very fast at times.
thank you for the great recommendations! Have a Great Day!
From me to you is my favorite too! I watched it 2 times hehe
I say dattebayo in my every line like Naruto. I didn’t knew that he was using the same phrase until a watch the anime 😂😂
I watched maison Ikkoku when i was a teenager, it was really cute very classic story line too so it's easy to understand what's going on
コナン！Detective Conan is really good!! It has helped me a lot!!
I've been using the teasing girl takagisan. But I'll try some of these.
Speaking of anime by Rumiko Takahashi you have mentioned, I'm already in full run of original Urusei Yatsura. But I will definitely give a shot to those ones you name, since until now I literally had no motivation to either learn or improve my Japanese.
Shirokuma is really funny and you can learn lots of words and grammar structures
I love maison Ikkoku and the other Rumiko Takahashi works
i've seen nichijou and tonari no totoro,both are pretty lit,i should watch kimi no todoke and azumanga daioh
Im from srilanka ❤ arigatho gozaimas for this ❤❤😊
One time I turned the suns on while watching Dragonball. Interestingly enough the translation was for the original Japanese dialogue not the English overdub. I was surprised how different the 2 were. I've been watching Japanese stuff in Japanese for years and still haven't a clue what's being said. I'd like to visit Japan but not if I can't communicate.
I think Cardcaptor Sakura is also great for learning Japanese. It's more of a kid's anime, and there's a lot of scenes related to daily life, like cooking or school events. It's very cute, too, problematic 90s stuff aside.
I saw glims of these list here and there, Haven’t completed full anime of these listed
I recently watched anime which I liked before in Japanese now. So I don't know if it's difficult or not but I think for listening and get used to the language it doesn't matter.
I watched Gundam, Hai Sukoa Gāru, most of the Gibli movies, Initial D and many more. Lately, I watched Kimi ni todoke. I don't know if I have learned that much but I always loved to listen to Japanese. Hahaha.
Slice of life/feel good animes are good for learning
This is a correction for a term you use.
Anrhropomorphise - first it's not a word. Anthropomorphize is how you spell it. It's a verb, not an adjective.
Spelling aside, you did a good job pronouncing it.
Anthropomorphic - This is the adjective form of the word and what you should have been using.
Both words are a bit a mouthful for a lot of English speakers, and many have no clue what the words even means. So there's no reason to feel bad about not knowing which form is which.
Thank you! Btw Hetalia is one of my favorite anime. Unfortunately I can't buy it in my country 😢
I watched hetalia, my neighbor totoro and from me to you a few months ago, they are so goood
Thank u sensei❤
I love Shirokuma Cafe! I would always watch it when I was in the hospital. I learned a lot of similiar vocabulary that way ^^
i wish there were songs to learn japanese , songs tend to stick with you for almost ever . like the song that i heard in supermarket about fish(sakana sakana sakana song ) that i don't think i can ever forget about and thats how i memorized words like sakana , taberu, atama for the first time that i could never forget .
I'd suggest Boku no Pico. Their Japanese are so easy do understand and it's all about daily life
Good recommendations!
Well I wasn't planning on learning Japanese, but now...
It was funny to find Nichijou because I suspected that it would be in this video 😂
Ιn Greek, Antropos means 'human', and 'mophi' means 'form' or 'shape', so 'anthropomorphism' is when something that isnt human, is made to look like human :) Like when you make a cat into a human looking girl or like how there was one anime with warships taking form of girls
do y'all watch these without the subtitles? I might cause the more you practice a word or words and you can't see what it's saying but you hear it, it helps you to remember it.
The probably is alot of anime watchers don't watch these. The animes I watch made me learn some phrase like. 'Sasuga', 'sasageo', 'koroshite'
Chibimaruko Chan and Sazae San centre around common daily life, which is the best content to focus on when learning a foreign language.
Aarigato Mochi Sensei.
What about Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater? It's cute and funny about a girl who joins the school fishing club.
we have chibi marukochan broadcast on tv back then but in malay dub with japanese original opening song 😅
my family love this anime because it daily life of asian people, like how we shower together with sibling or parent, and dad butt naked walking around home to find his cloth 🤣
After watching anime for 8 years I can understand without subs now 😏
My mom knows chibi main character she showed me that anime once
How about 相聚一刻 and Slam dunk😊
You have the eyes like the anime 😍
Would you recommend all ghibli studios anime for learning anime? I used to watch Ponyo when I was a kid and was going to watch it again in Japanese.
Anime is the reason why i am learning Japanese 🍡🍙...😂
Woah she looks like 鬼頭 桃菜 .. I’m gg to subscribe. 一緒に勉強します
What i never know doreamon was Japanese and we say it here is Do-Ray-mon btw im from Philippines
Koniciwa Mochi sensei😊 Hajimemaste Nuki Naoki desu😊 yoropiku😊 Ore mo youtube aru yo, yokatara atode mite ne😊
Some really good shows mentioned here and some I hadn't heard of. I'll definitely be checking them out. Ms. Mochi is waaay too cute, but she should remember to look at the camera, not the monitor :)
It's going to take me a long time to name all the anime I seen, I watched cyborg 009 , android kinkider,inuyasha,yuyuhakisho, Gundam wing, gundam seed Gundam unicorn, pokemon,trigun,sailor moon , cowboy bebop,out law Star, tenchi muyo tenchi universe , vann dread , rosario vampire,dragon ball,dragon ball z ,dragon ball gt,samurai x,my hero academia ,one piece ,hellsing, hellsing ultimate,JoJo bizarre adventure,soul eater,bleach ,Tokyo ghoul,

Watching the (Bake)monogatari series threw me at the deep-end of wanting to learn Japanese.
I don't know if the Japanese is easy or difficult, but I really enjoyed Non Non Biyori, which is a cute slice-of-life Anime about a group of girls of different ages who live in rural Japan.
Non Non Biyori is brilliant. I currently watch the show and read the manga. It is indeed good for beginners. The topics are easy to follow but they use sometimes slang and difficult vocabulary. But all in all I would recommend it too.
Difficult as hell
Nyanpasu! I love that show too!
Yes! Non Non Biyori is definitely on the easier side of anime, but there are still plenty of new words to learn, so it's great. It's also very refreshing and wholesome. Also, all of the ending songs are sung by the female characters and they're really beautiful songs!
Non non biyori cures my depression
I am so glad to see nichijou here. It has a LOT of puns and niche Japanese cultural jokes, but that is what makes it such a joy to watch and listen to.
Edit: I recently was gifted Nichijou books 1-10 in Japanese as a birthday present and I love reading through it as a beginner. Does most of it go over my head? Maybe. But that’s the point of learning a language. I’ll be rereading it over and over again until that doesn’t happen anymore.
nichijou is fire
As someone who isn't really into a lot of slice-of-life or children's shows, the anime I would recommend is Aku no Hana. It's a pretty dark story with a lot of drama, but it's set in middle school and uses a lot of realistic, everyday language.
Edit: I'll add some context and say that I tend to enjoy dark, disturbing content, and Aku no Hana definitely belongs in that category, so stay away from it if you think it'll be too much for you. I'll also say that there is no TRUE beginner anime. If you have little to no experience with Japanese, anything you watch will sound like gibberish to you no matter what.
The manga is even better, good for reading practice
Don't watch if you don't want to cry 👍
Yes - this is one of the best animes i know - but it is really a matter of taste !
I read the summary on Wikipedia and it looks like Dark Slice of Life to me, so as someone who rarely watches Slice of Life this is no alternative for me.
@@earthbind83 it's not dark at all I don't know who wrote that. It's fun, comedy, slice of life, drama it will make you laugh and cry. It's one of my favourite anime of all time. I couldn't recommend it enough I see it in anime youtubers top ten and sometimes number one of their anime of all time. If your an anime fan you owe to yourself to watch it.
I really like learning Japanese with Nichijou and Sakamoto desu ga. They both use fairly normal words about daily life. Sakamoto desu ga does have some slang and "tough guy speak" but it's not too much and the anime itself is really funny and charming.
Wow it's impressive that you were able to pronounce a word like anthropomorphism as a non-native speaker of any Latin-romance or Germanic language. I'm sure even some native speakers might struggle to pronounce it properly.
