わたゆり: Finished my reread of わたゆり it definitely went a lot better than last time, but I still feel like I was turning the translation a bit too easily, rather than forcing myself to pause and struggle a bit first. It’s hard not to turn to it, when I’m this into the story, and also trying to finish within a certain time span. I did try to use my 電子辞書 at one point, but found it way too disruptive/unproductive.
It was really nice to read the physicals - so much less distracting. Also I read the magazine versions for the most recent chapters, so that was really nice I think/hope there’s a new chapter out this month!
雨でも晴れでも: Read ch 1 of 雨でも晴れでも - definitely no translation for that. I can read it easily enough, but it doesn’t feel comfortable yet. More lookups than I expected. Kansai-ben is easy this time.
I’ll probably resume はなにあらし, now that I finished わたゆり… Tho maybe I should focus on 月姫 first
Audio-only: Been watching more audio-only lately (mostly summer 2024 shows that don’t have subs yet):
- BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! S1 | L23 - finished. mostly easy. Really underwhelming show
- 僕の妻は感情がない S1 | L22 - easy enough. Iffy on the show, probably won’t continue
- 時々ボソッとロシア語でデレる隣のアーリャさん S1 | L30?? - mostly easy. Good challenge to read quickly enough, when she’s speaking in Russian (the only time when there’s subs)
- 義妹生活 S1 | L25?? - somewhat difficult. Definitely really had to focus. Tbh would prefer to watch with subs
- こみっくがーるず S1 | L24?? watched ep 2. Moderately difficult. Not sure if I’ll continue
- 先輩はおとこのこ S1 | L30?? - easy. On the fence about continuing (it’s good, but also not sure I can enjoy it)
- 小市民シリーズ S1 | L30?? - 85% comprehension? Not going to continue
PTW (with subs):
