Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the dungeon meshi animation style is changing very quickly? Like the first few episodes are great in their style, and all the episodes have beautiful animation and story but I have noticed it has gotten really playful. Like exaggerating the models way more than just for good smears and action.

like this insane chilchuck took up the screen for SEVERAL SECONDS. I want to stress that this is not critique at all I just find it fascinating. It's like you can see the team quickly fall into a rhythm and find a style they all enjoy over these first 8 episodes. The way the characters emote and sometimes look in general is borderline unrecognizable from ep one and I've never seen an animation style change so quickly in a show's run. I would like to think it's indicative of the crew having fun because that makes me happy to think about. I don't know why you would go this hard on the animation in both the serious and the silly worlds if it wasn't for the fun of it.

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #rambling #I have been noticing this slowly #at first it was like in the mimic episode when in my watch party I was turning to my friends and going #'holy shit! go back to that shot! chilchuck's ears were massive!' #but now it's very clear that fucking with the models is here to stay and they are developing a mastery over it #like marcille was def off model during the undine fight but it looked so good the way they drew her face there

Do you think one could attain decent-ish ability to read Japanese just by studying kanji? Specifically asking because the kanji learnin' service "wanikani" is the single Japanese resource that works best with my brain, but then there are separate resources for grammar and vocab and and and.....

You will get REAAAALLLLLYYY far knowing only the kanji but you're going to have to know hiragana and katakana at some point too. Tofugu, the company that did Wanikani, has two mnemonics-based guides for the kana that are basically Wanikani Lite. They're how I learned the kana and I swear by them.

Here's hiragana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

And katakana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/

Hiragana are especially vital to learning kanji; you won't be able to use 99% of Japanese-English dictionaries without them. BUT they're pretty easy and the rules for using them are consistent. You won't have to remember any irregular exceptions for any of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard really good things about the Crystal Hunters manga series as a fun/low stress way to learning Japanese vocab and grammar. It eases the reader into new concepts and then repeats them throughout the chapter so you remember them. There are free vocab and study guides/lists for each chapter too. Might be worth checking out once you get some kanji and the kana under your belt? The first book is also free.

Good luck!!

#asks #Japanese takes like a bajillion hours forever to learn because of the 2200+ kanji lol........... #But it's sooooo consistent grammatically and with the spelling. I love it #Kinda spoiled me tbh. I look at English now and I'm like #'Why can't you be more like this. Why are you such a mess. Get your act together' #And then there's Korean's hangul writing system. It's SO BEAUTIFUL. Actual marvel of linguist engineering #The Japanese lexicon is also a lot smaller than English's too. Which is both a blessing and a curse #Less words = quicker to learn. BUUUUUTTTT less words that mesh well with English. Translation is hard!!! #Holy fuck. Ok so Wikipedia says that the English language has 755`865 words as recorded by Wiktionary #and Japanese has 500`000 according to Nihon Kokugo Daijiten #BUT THEN KOREAN. ACCORDING TO ONLINE DICTIONARY URIMALSAEM (open source dictionary) HAS 1`149`538 WORDS #The biggest lexicon is Tamil's with 1`516`952 unique headwords as recorded by online dictionary Sorkuvai #That's absolutely nuts #I got massively distracted.

i'm gonna say it. for a manga that is so centered on free will, inheritance of will and freedom overall people sure love to theorize about luffy's entire life being forged by others with him being predestined as nika's next reincarnation huh

#the fruit vibed with luffy yes but he could have very well died without awakening the fruit #'kuma saved luffy because he was nika' my brother in christ that is his FRIEND'S SON #HIM AWAKENING THE FRUIT IS LIKE. A YIPPEE PLEASANT SURPRISE MOMENT LIKE 'HOLY SHIT IT HAPPENED???' #LIKE WITNESSING A METEOR SHOWER THAT ONLY APPEARS AFTER AN AMOUNT OF YEARS KINDA SHIT EXCEPT NO ONE PREDICTED THIS NOT EVEN LUFFY HIMSELF #the leaks for ch 1100 more specifically some people's comments made me want to eat a brick #the world of one piece is massive not everything is centered on luffy!!!! him being 'destined' to be nika/joyboy FUCKS OVER everything #he's a chosen one on the sense that he chose himself. if that makes any sense #i'm not sorry for this rant anyways #ranting #one piece rant #one piece #monkey d. luffy #one piece nika #one piece theory #because if anything luffy awakening joyboy was a damn gamble that paid off. i could elaborate #one piece luffy #straw hat luffy #one piece joyboy #joyboy #one piece manga spoilers #i. i think

Okay okay but Tighnari about to tap out after a late night round, but you can't help but grab unto him, flip him over and straddle him. He'd gasp and there'd be a harsh blush across his cheeks - glazed over eyes watching you bounce on his cock. Only starts thrusting up to you when your bat your teary lashes all pretty for him, glossy lips letting out a soft "'nari, help"

He gets so clingy after omg he'd be so cute 🥺

dreams video actually works irl btw like last night me and my best friend (we’ve known each other since middle school) kinda got into it abt dream and they kept bringing up baseless stuff that the vid literally disproves and essentially said “well ive made up my mind and i’m not going to change it and so maybe we just don’t talk about it at all” (aka “i don’t want to hear abt your hyperfixation because i want to believe meme pages on the internet) and i sent them the video last night and they watched the parts that were important to them and then told me today when i asked if they’d watched it that like. they actually see where i was coming from now and how they were fed misinfo and they’re not a Fan of dream (that was never the goal) but they literally admitted they were wrong and need to work on their critical thinking and internet literacy. this coming from one of the most stubborn people i have ever met. like. we fucking WIN dream made an iconic fucking video i swear to god

#like i know we’ve seen ppl on the internet come around and stuff #but like. it also works irl. with people who don’t really camp out on twitter. like. holy fuck. #MASSIVE W FOR ME BTW IN MY DAMN PERSONAL LIFE
