Holy crap this channel rules. I have been DYING for something like this to exist since I started learning. One of the most challenging parts of learning Japanese, coming from an English speaker is SEEING the language. How to parse vocabulary, particles, vocabulary etc. While immersion is the most important part of learning any language, stuff like this goes a LONG way!

Yaaaay! Thank you so much for checking out the channel! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! :) That was the concept behind the channel actually! I wanted to find a way to help connect people more easily to Japanese media and help make the immersion/input easier/more enjoyable for learners! :)

@@GameGengo your channel and videos are the absolute top resource that helped me and pushed me to continue with my passion and love for Japanese. i always had problems with grammar and sometimes remembering new vocab, and i cannot take lessons now due to financial reasons, and ALL the channels i found, iam sure they are great teachers and made great effort as well, but they weren't suitable for the way i like to study, and how my brain delivers and comprehends information. you are the ONLY one that i could actually understand and comprehend from. you deserve all the support and appreciation. therefore, i promise that once i find a job and be in a better financial situation, i will pay you for this incredible effort, until then, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, wishing you the best.

what i've noticed is that the way of writing some words/phrases is... rather weird, at least to me (a beginner in learning japanese, though i've been immersing myself in japanese media for over 10 years already and can understand some basic conversations). for example, there's ハズ written in katakana (25:03). for what i've seen, it's usually written using hiragana, and the sudden katakana here seems kinda unusual. is it some kind of futaba's thing or what lol? i know that some "slang"-ish words such as マジ or クソ (which are also mentioned in this video) can be written using katakana, but ハズ? especially considering the fact that it doesn't seem to be "slang"-ish. but what really threw me off was 何処 (どこ; 31:46) written using kanji. i've never seen it written other way than in hiragana. it just seems so weird that in one text box you have something that you assume should be written using hiragana but is in katakana and then a few text boxes later you see one of the first words someone learns in japanese, which i personally have always seen written using hiragana, now in kanji. then it's こと (49:29) written in hiragana, while at the beginning of the video it's written twice as kanji (事; 9:55, 10:40). i'm starting to think that it's really just futaba's thing lol. or maybe by that, the game tries to kind of "translate" the character's personality and how they speak into written form? as in morgana, who earlier used kanji 事, is more "formal" and "serious", while futaba still being a teen, and a nerd on top of that, uses more "slang"-ish (ハズ) and less serious (こと) way of speaking? but then there's kasumi who also uses こと (53:17) but otherwise uses a very polite and formal way of speaking. i'm at loss right now to be honest, haha. and then kasumi uses ください (54:34) when earlier she used 下さい (50:41). what actually made my head hurt was that at 57:08, it sounds like futaba talking (though i can be wrong). here, she says はず instead of previous ハズ, and then 事 instead of previous こと. it really looks like there's no one rule after all, haha. as i said, i'm just a beginner and by no means i feel knowledgeable enough to say if it makes sense or not (or if it's wrong to say it that way), but it just seems counterintuitive to me and i wanted to share my ramblings lol. also i love how polite kasumi is, makes me understand almost everything she says in terms of grammar as this is what i've already learned lol anyway, there's no words to describe how helpful and amazing this video is! thank you so much for making it!

17:00 - My understanding is that this basically means like.. 'short-ranged weapon' or like 'close quaters weapon' as opposed to being 'the weapon you have close at hand'. In contrast you can have 'long range weapons' like bows and guns, which in this game is 遠隔武器. Both the gun and the sword are weapons you have 'close at hand', but one is for close proximity attacks and one is for far proximity attacks.

New Horizons has kanji and furigana which is cool but honestly the Gamecube versions have waaaaay better/more interesting dialogue!

I really like your content, it's very useful and well-edited. There's a detail that I didn't like, it's the new drop shadow effect on your cam. It's not an aesthetic issue, rather it's actually irritating because of perceptive reasons (I swear, I don't have OCPD or something :). I think it's the contrast between the artificial shadow and the real shadow on your chair. It could work if there was no real shadow to compare with and if the light was coming equally harshly from the correct direction as the shadow suggests. As it is it's a bit like looking at one of these optical illusions at the very moment you see through them because your perspective changes. But maybe that's just me. Otherwise, great job as always.
