You'll end up in jail pretty quickly if you date an elementary school girl (enjoy your 3 weeks, you may get out afterwards and have no trial if you don't confess).


What, I can't date them ? then It can't be helped, I'll rape some elementary school girls then, that's surprisingly much easier, it's better than learning the language. I need some useful words in case.

Now I feel self-confident. I'll be living in paradise.

Good, self confidence is a must when trying to bag girls.

Who's to judge people's motivation behind learning a new language? If someone finds learning Japanese wortwhile for the sole reason of reading raw manga and VNs then more power to them. Learning a new language would have benefits anyway regardless of their initial motivation, and they're actually being productive by learning a new skill.

It's ridiculously stupid to criticize someone for learning a language for whatever reason.

That's what I'm currently doing... I'm currently at 85 Kanji learned.

Absolutely. I'm currently around 200 Kanji learned. I read/watch so much stuff originating from Japan I find it to be worth it. It's a lot of work though. You really want to have a good reason for learning another language before you do so, purely because of the time and commitment involved. I think I would enjoy learning many more languages someday.

No, I'm learning it to go there.

If I were to learn it just for anime it wouldn't be worth the time.

Do you actually need kanji to watch anime? Well sometimes there is some text but that's pretty rare.

No. I wouldn't go to that kind of effort just for Japanese when subs are readily available.

Something like Russian perhaps, or Swedish, but not Japanese.

I will never try to read Cross Channel nor Subahibi without learning proper Japanese first, there just wouldn't be a point in reading them in english. I wouldn't learn it for anime though...

I've often felt the desire/really wanted to, but I try to be a realist and just know that even if I somehow did master it enough to become fluent(which I don't exactly have confidence is something I could accomplish) if I didn't speak it or hear it frequently everyday I'd just forget it overtime anyway. Plus just learning it for that one reason, which is definitely the only reason I'd wanna, doesn't really seem strong enough of a reason to attempt it.

There is nothing wrong with that being a person's motivation to learn Japanese. In fact this used to be my reason but I just didn't have the patience to go through with this plan.

At this point, no.

I'd learn Japanese so I can move there because driving here is a chore.
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

I suppose yeah, I've learned some simple phrases and words by watching anime and playing jrpg.

For the people who wants to learn Japanese for the soul purpose of dating a Japanese woman, Heed my warning :
If you think asian women are submissive, cute, and kindhearted well you have been watching to much anime they're almost like "tsundere" (I'm not saying all but mostly)

I want to learn it for the same reason, but also because it'd really help me with my stories. I'd very much like to see people in Japan reading the stuff I write.

lol this question is shallow.
To answer your question though OP, I'd rather go with LN/VN since they are much more in-depth than anime/manga.

Truth be told, yes I did start out interested in Japanese b/c of anime. Naive? Maybe, but at least anime has peaked this person's interest.
Now 5+ years in learning the language, Japanese has broaden my horizons in general learning and overall view of other cultures.

Anime can be the reason in starting, but it will not be your reason in finishing.
