It's the beginning, not the end. How did I fall in love..?

Japanese anime is my biggest motivation of studying the language. I spent my childhood in China where the TVs liked to play many of the classic japanese animes. Every day after school, I couldn't wait to rush back home and watch my "Daily show". Nah, I'm the おたく?

Here's the ranking of my favorite animes from childhood(and even now since I reviewed some of them last year):  
1. 名探偵コナン
2. スラムダンク 
3. デジモン 
4. 聖闘士星矢
5.テニスの王子様 
6.新世紀エヴァンゲリオン
7.ちびまる子ちゃん
.....

The list is very long so I omit the rest.

Anyways, I'm very excited to learn the Hiraganas and Katakanas so that I can at least read the Japanese lines or sing Japanese OSTs of these animes. 

The Hiraganas and Katakanas are rather difficult to remember. They require lots of practice. Many of them look really similar to me.


But..頑張って!

    3. こんいちわ。おおさかは、ゆうめいなまちですね。わたしは、おおさかにいきました。すきですよ。きょうとはに Gionが とてもきれいです!The street themselves are so pretty. Food was also awesome there. Kyoto shows the very cultural and traditional Japan. Osaka was also very nice. It's not as pretty as Kyoto, but a better (as in more convenient) place to live in. Osaka has so many great restaurants and department stores! I remember there was 万灯祭 at 道頓堀川 when I visited there. It was splendid.
