I've only watched a few episodes so far, but I find Darker than Black addicting. It's very atmospheric and plots don't seem to be completely tied up like typical U.S. series, but I like that about it.
Strangely I have been able to recognize a few words here and there, which I didn't think I would considering the series is about government conspiracies and assassins. Not your typical vocabulary in beginning Japanese courses! When I'm done I will check out Naruto. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Here you are.
Well, I split out any sentence that stands out from Death Note, so you might be interested, even if it's not Naruto Shippuuden. This way, I guess my anime watching became more scholarly (at least I hope so). Here's a sample. Any opinion would be appreciated about it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Good luck with Japanese. It sounds like you're off to a great start and you're hitting the Kanji up right away
with RTK which I couldn't recommend more. I wish I had the intelligence to start with it when I started Japanese. Since you're using Anki I would suggest getting someone's Heisig deck that includes stories. Heisig's stories are ok although some are a bit scholarly and abstract which I found odd since he says to avoid the abstract but whatever. The big reason I would suggest getting a deck with stories filled in is that later Heisig doesn't give you any stories, and even if you're making your own it's nice to look at someone else's story to give you ideas for your own. I'm a big fan of Naruto. I started with the 1st series and now I'm watching Shippoden. I haven't found any Japanese shows that actually have Japanese subs - at least available in the States. I suppose if you were to import DVD's from Japan then you could probably get them but that sounds expensive so I haven't tried it. But you can read Japanese Manga online for free. I'm not sure how legal it is but there's plenty of websites with it and it's not hard to find. The anime adaptions follow the manga originals very closely and a lot of the dialogue is exactly the same. btw your English was so natural I did a double take when someone talked about Heisig with French stories. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Death Note is awesome. Really awesome. I watched it all in one sitting. Yeah, I cried at the end, but it's a great series. You should definitely check it out. Thanks for the link, Takato. 1 person has voted this message useful |
