I'm sure its no surprise that I'm obsessed with Baccano! (I only say it every 5 minutes), but I think this obsession has gone on to a whole new level.
So, I finished watching Baccano! about the third time over, and it's really frustrating that there only 16 episodes of the anime and there are many more books (light novels) and even a video game... in Japanese. (And Chinese, but that doesn't help me much either)
I was reading up on Baccano! to avoid doing homework of course, and came across a particularly weird alternate ending for the video game. Immediately, I was like, "I must have it, even if I won't understand a word of it". Then, after some thought I realized, if its a visual novel style game, not understanding a word of it might be a bit of a problem, so I conceded that I MUST learn Japanese. (I always intended to, but I didn't have anyone to teach me. This also was a bit troublesome when I went to Japan the summer after I graduated...)
So, I bought the game "My Japanese Coach", which my friend recommended that I buy only if I'm desperate. (Which I am.) And it's actually pretty informative. The explaination on how to conjugate verbs goes over my head though.
My one friend also gets me manga for Birthdays and such occasionally, but only ones that are in Japanese. She claims that the original Japanese is better, which could be true, but I had no idea considered I couldn't read it.
Now I can identify most hiragana and can pretty much read it ('cuz the majority of the kanji has hiragana next to them), but the only thing now is the understanding part...
Anyways, here's a pic of Czes I'll probably never submit since it doesn't look like him at all... I just can't mirror his cuteness
