Today I wanted to share my language learning experience of Black Clover. If
|
|
you are a fellow learner of the Japanese language and would like to hear some
|
|
feedback on this anime, this is the post for you.
|
|
|
|
I should point out that this is my first anime I ever fully watched with
|
|
Japanese subtitles. And so, big thanks to
|
|
[Asbplayer](https://github.com/killergerbah/asbplayer) and
|
|
[Yomichan](https://foosoft.net/projects/yomichan/) for making this possible.
|
|
Splendid tools for sentence mining.
|
|
|
|
If you do not know what they are, in short:
|
|
- Yomichan is an extension which allows you to highlight Japanese words and
|
|
show you their dictionary translations (alongside also provides amazing
|
|
shortcuts for adding the word directly into Anki).
|
|
- Asbplayer is an extension which allows you to insert custom subtitle files
|
|
into a webplayer (also provides handy shortcuts for automatically inserting
|
|
audio/screenshots into Anki cards)
|
|
|
|
Not only was watching anime with subtitles suddenly much easier, I could
|
|
finally do real sentence mining with Anki and extract all the new words I
|
|
wanted with the shortcuts that the two extensions provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The whole experience was super fun and engaging enough to make me say "oh come
|
|
on, one more episode. \*click\*" (this is especially true because at some point
|
|
I even started getting the jokes)
|
|
|
|
With all this said, it is totally possible that not everybody will enjoy the
|
|
anime the same way as I did. Given the preferences, knowledge difference, etc.
|
|
that we might have. But overall I recommend this anime to anybody who feels
|
|
that they are at least N4 or better.
|
|
|
|
Now, what did I get from this anime?
|
|
- Roughly 200-300 new words
|
|
- Listening and reading skills improved a lot
|
|
- Fun
