>>97032300I wish I had tried to actually learn japanese younger, when I was actually watching anime. But I already knew 3 langauges etc and a list of other skills, no need to overachieve, I thought. Regret thinking like that.
I barely watch anime or read manga or anything like that these days, but what intrigues me the most about japanese is the sheer influence it has on the internet as a whole. I want to explore the japanese internet more, it's like discovering imageboards all over again.
And my particular interests in music and art and everything leads me to be surrounded by japanese non-anime media all the god damn time, and it's really fun to understand some of it.
