I know I said I'd try to translate some of Sakurazaka46's music, but I decided to start on ONEPIXCEL instead. A lot of their music aren't translated and considering they're disbanding next month, I'd want to give it a go.

Lol theres like only one keyframe animator in the series that did that (Ebisawa) and it was literally like one frame in the Buu arc. So funny you say that though I just had watched an analysis vid that showed that specific frame and commented on the veins on veins.

OP...if youre interested in drawing DB, a good channel to check out on YT is called ForgottenRelics. He does animation breakdowns for every DB animator, and even covers Akira Toriyama and what kind of art supplies he uses. Great channel for learning and understanding the varying styles of animators and their evolutions over the years.

Thanks man, will do!

Umu sosha yo!

I also remember the Saiyan references.

There were also sequels and prequels right? I think it was Nisemonogatari I watched after and maybe one more. The toothbrush scene though...

This topic hurts my self esteem :(

I used to think that way when I saw other peoples work. Now I just try to let it inspire me instead. Seeing their progress really is amazing.

You'll see people drop the i in i-adjectives sometimes. instead of , or even just instead of and so on and so forth.

Definitely not something to do in any situation warranting formal or polite speech, but when slang is involved it happens.

Anyway, just finished the first volume of Bakemonogatari. Took a long time since I've mostly only been reading it when I'm out of the house.

By the way, since you brought up , here, have one of the most famous pieces of writing from Biohazard/Resident Evil.

I am going to be starting to draw again soon. It's been months, but I finally feel like picking up a pencil again.

Go ahead! It's always good to try again after a while. For me I think my brain starts seeing things I couldnt see before after a rest and it breaks off bad habits for some reason.

It's very normal in the first year to find yourself knowing every word in a sentence but still not having any idea what the sentence itself means. Best thing to do is not to let yourself get stuck on it and instead to just move on. Some day in the future you'll understand it.

Of course, in situations where you have an easily available official translation handy, this is one situation where it might be worth looking at the English translation (and pray that the sentence wasn't changed during localization).

Thing is I understand the sentences of normal conversations. But its different with songs I think. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

I was translating a part of BAN from Sakurazaka46. Was pretty fun, but its kinda hard getting the meanings of the sentences down even if I do know what some of the words mean.

Was listening to songs from my favourite group. Thinking of translating some of their songs bit by bit. Could be fun I think. Might start tomorrow if I feel up to it.

One year and three months after starting it, shu3 just recently completed an absolute monster of a completionist challenge playthrough of Breath of the Wild, the BotW (Superchallenge That Went Beyond All Others BotW) run.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbaAScy1bzdL0mMEtxNoBw2Gg5jYfH1kE

Apart from the normal challenge rules like 3 hearts, he's also got a bunch of other fun rules, like the only weapons and shields he's allowed to use are household items, or all photographs must be selfies. It's also a lore explanation run, and he prepared for it by first playing through all other Zelda games, and he explains the lore and references, as well as showing the backstories of various NPCs in the game. Oh yeah, and his definition of "completionist" includes things like opening every single chest in the game.

From since he started the playthrough until he finished it, I went from understanding almost nothing he says to understanding almost everything he says, so it's been fun to see my Japanese ability progressing along with the playthrough.

It's an absolute epic run which will deepen your understanding of the game as well as the entire Zelda series and I strongly recommend people watch it.

Gonna give this a watch.

Also lesson in the morning. Goodnight!

It comes with the territory. The higher you raise the bar, the more you have to up the ante.

Yeah you're right. I'm looking back at the pictures I used to be proud of and I'm seeing things I dont like now.
