I'm determined to learn the Japanese language
Anime Relations: Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba, Bakemonogatari
First of all, I love anime and manga and I've always consumed this media via fansubs and scanlations. I think this has to change. There are two main reasons for this:
I really like learning new stuff and challenging myself. Learning a new language has a lot benefits too so it had to happen one day that I learn Japanese. I think I can make something good out of this while having fun with anime and manga :3
- I want to experience these artistics works that I aprecciate very much in a more genuine manner. I want to learn the original language to understand more accurately the original portrayal of authors' ideas. I think there is value on that. I can present as an example the Monogatari series light novels. There's a lot of "messages" that are lost with translation and they can only be aprecciated at their fullest with the original Japanese.
- More practically, I want to access to works that are not translated. One of which I really wanted to read but couldn't because of the language barrier is the manga from Aoyama Gosho, Yaiba. As of the writing of this entry, there is no complete translation anywhere on the internet. It's not even licensed. So yeah, this title triggered me to learn Japanese.
