I remembered this one video about Gigguk during the Trash Taste Podcast, saying that he wants to learn 日本語 to be more satisfied when watching the Monogatari Series. I've been watching Bakemono and I thought it made perfect sense to hold it until I learn the language.

What do you think about it and is there any anime besides what I've given that you find yourself in the same situation?

RIP my time tho. N5 gonna be real tough.

No never happened. Also there's nothing wrong with the word "japanese".

Nope, the translations are really good (depends on the fan sub). If you are talking about the flashes of text, they are not needed to be read since they are mostly Arararagi's monologues from the LN. You can get a good grasp of the anime without them. But some puns do need understanding of Japanese. Not sure about the kanji.

I suggest you pick it back up because the dialogues and mystery are like 90% of the show. The puns are just cherry on the cake.

I do hope users don't feed the attention-seeking troll ProxyLain in the replies.

Edit: You put it on-hold before THE best episode in that entire season. Such a shame.

I was thinking about learning Japanese until I found out how difficult it actually is. So I have no intentions of learning Japanese any time soon.

Good choice. Never pick it up again.

Never happened to me, Didn't even know people did that.

It kinda seems weird to me to put a show on hold to just...learn Japanese, Like that'll take years and a shit ton of effort to learn, You'll probably forget that you wanted to watch the show after you actually learned a decent chunk from the language.
I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack

You told me that too late. Unfortunately, I made a point of continuing this garbage...
It's a sacrifice to watch, but one day I'm done.

It would be good to learn the language, but I don't think you have to put it on hold.

While we're at it, i think it's fine to watch Monogatari even if you're not skilled enough at Japanese. Like, subs can help.

Monogatari is for everyone who is above 18 according to PG rating. But even 15yo (minimum age) can understand it. Thankfully, the children can grow up and experience its greatness for the first time.

See what a big garbage it is. This is kind of sad.
Trashgatari has a target audience that catches people at the age where they are still retarded (teenagers), so it was successful. No wonder that so much garbage for this audience that comes out every season is successful.

Haven't you noticed that the worst animes are produced for this age group?
Of course, you rarely find a good one.

The animes for this age group do exactly what teenagers want and don't innovate at all. Most are devoid of good history.

Anyway, I don't like to explain things in an expository way. Watching more anime is the only way to understand this.

So, just because some bad anime exist means they are targeted towards teens? And just because teens watch said anime, they are r******?
Nice logic there.

I watch dub for the most part so this doesn't affect me.

Plus all the stuff I have ever had on hold is because
- Deltora Lost i'm taking a break from (have been for 6 months) since it's your average kids adventure story
- Wotakoi OVA airs in October
- Jouran I'm waiting for someone to finish it with them
- Oregiaru S2 because the first half of the christmas arc was that boring.

Yeah sure cause you're toooootally not a 14 y/o who likes to spout nonsense on anime forums. Also did you just end your comment with an emoji there? Not something a grown-ass adult would do.

The Trash Taste Podcast might as well be the bible for mal users at this point.
I won't drop something because of Japanese. If I want to I can go back and look over translations that I might've missed in fast shows like Monogatari and Zetsubo-sensei, but usually I can understand majority of the show from subtitles alone.
N5 is a long ways off for me as well. Learning Japanese just for anime seems like a waste of effort for the most part. I think I'll stick to only understanding Hiragana and Katakana for now

Aha aha does your mum also regularly use internet forums? Emojis are more appropriate when you're typing to someone you know irl, at least to my knowledge. Here on the other hand, It's just weird.

Bakamonogatari (shitsurei kamimashita) is an absolutely terrible show. It was a chore to finish all 15 episodes. Just randomly flashing distracting epilepsy-inducing bullshit, endless dialogue, no emotions with any of that dialogue, and no plot. It almost made me quit anime. Would have given it a 1/10 if not for the ED and Tsubasa Cat. The word play and kanji play is not as clever as people think it is and the subtitles do a more than adequate job to explain, or at least the random flashing frames that you won't be able to read. Oh wow...Mayoi is not a lost snail but a lost cow because snail is written with the kanji for cow.

At least the other seasons are not as bad. Less flashing text, more plot, and more Shinobu.
