I am not very good at it either, but ranks or not, the bottom line is whether you can communicate or not since even all the words in the world would not save you if you cannot communicate it.

That is something even I have trouble with, but only because I have signs of social-phobia.

And somehow I think it would be kind of hard to get people to go to Japan for this meeting.

Well, we could simply schedule it so that it's during vacation time so the chances of making the meetup a reality is much more likely.

I read from somewhere that MariMite will "turn you into a girl in mid-season and you'll go lesbian for the Onee-sama character".

Somehow, that just makes me curious and drags this title to a 'Sort of want' level. <.<

It's only compulsory in the province of New Brunswick (since they're the bilingual province) and certain jobs all over the country require the language.

French is not a hard language to learn, but the grammar is a bit agitating for native English speakers.

A shame, but maybe someday, no?

I'd certainly love to do it, but even just a trip to Japan is not gonna happen for me in the foreseeable future.

I haven't used French in close to a full year.

In fact, despite five years worth of it, I rarely ever had a practical usage for it (other than once at a restaurant in Moncton and again talking to a photographer in Manhattan).

I see, I see.

I agree with you.
I started learning French during primary school for Extra-Curriculum Activities, but the language just didn't stick to my head no matter how I studied it.

It was also compulsory to study German when I was in Secondary School, which I did adapt well enough to speak somewhat fluently until it was overwritten by my current third language.

I'd certainly love to do it, but even just a trip to Japan is not gonna happen for me in the foreseeable future.

Ah come on, have more ambition than that. XP

German is a fairly easy language for English speakers due to the similarities.

Not to mention German is a cooler language than French.

Unless you're good at hard labour, you're either stuck in a call centre or working in retail.

At least with Japanese, you can more closely pursue your interests in its original form, amirite?

True, but I (try to) believe that what we saw on TV (Or in the VHS/CD/DVD versions) is not the final product Gainax intends to show us.

Yeah, but I lost interest fast.

Oh well, I still retained a few words and phrases, so that provides lulz when I'll randomly shout out a translation or quote a line verbatim whilst watching subbed anime with friends.

I prefer translated stuff anyhoo, even watching French television is difficult even though I'm completely bilingual because native Francophones speak way too goddamn fast.

It's fine if it works among friends, though hard work and guts will be needed to reach one level higher.

Well of course, knowing your favourite characters' catchphrases and some basic words is pretty far from fluency.

Also, since this province's Asian population is growing (it's mostly Chinese, but some Japanese are beginning to imigrate), maybe fluency in Japanese will become useful for things other than personal entertainment in a few years.

Let alone pronouncing them correctly, in many cases I have heard and seen before.

Many are saying that learning Cantonese/Mandarin will be a big advantage as well, given how fast China is catching up. I wonder if weapons can still be bought for cheap prices on the streets of Beijing. XD

Indeed it really is a great catchy song, could be one of the best anime songs ever.

For about a year or so i taught it was the greatest anime song ever. Then i got the internet and found better animu openings.

Hey guys, i see ur talking bout NGE, the first anime that really interested me in the genre. The movie(End of Evangelion) is out of this fucking world.

Only thing i can criticize about Eva is Shinji, that fucking emotionless gay stupid asshole. Man a couple of times i wanted to jump into the tv and kick his ass.

I cant wait to see the 4 movies, that are being produced as we speak. I bet they'll kick ass, its been 9 years since we saw something new about eva.

Another of my favourites (of the old school) is Cowboy Bebop, it has everything, great music, great plot and superb characters. Sweet action scenes too.
It was very funny seeing how they could never cash the rewards hahahha. And the movie is
in-fucking-credible.

I don't think no one likes shinji

I am looking forward to how horrible the live action movie will be.

I don't really consider any anme from the 90's as old school. But yeah it was cool. I prefer Outlaw star.
