Alright, let's try.
(1/2)　昨夜、意識を取り戻しても足下が覚束なかった白粉[おしろい]を女子寮に送っていった後、アブラ神からいただいたソイジョイを食べようとしたのだ。だが、心身ともに疲弊しきっていた僕は何を思ったのかもらったそれをパックに入ったまま寮の電子レンジに投入、全力で『あたため』を開始してしまった。
　たぶん、温かい夕食が食べたかったのだ。ただそれだけである。なんと切ない話か。感動レベルとしてはトランペットに憧れてショウウィンドウにへばりつく少年の話と＝で結ばれる。
　しかし僕の前に現れたのは見知らぬ子供にトランペットを買い与えてくれる懐の豊かな紳士ではなく、マイクロウェーブの洗礼であった。レンジ内が明るく光ったかと思ったら、ボッフゥンという冗談みたいな音とともにパックが火花とともに破裂し、寮のブレイカーが飛んだ。
　――で、罰として朝食がもらえなかったのだ。

But there's so much plot in the h scenes

>It's a "character's name is an obscure plant/animal kanji" episode

(2/2)　温めるというのなら最低限あの袋を剥いてから、電子レンジに入れるべきだったのだ。……いや、それ以前に『あの時の僕＝トランペットに憧れてショウウィンドウにへばりつく少年』の等式が認められるのならば、あの時ブレイカーが飛ばず、温かな夕食としてソイジョイを食べることもできたと仮定すれば、将来僕は一流のジャズマンとして世界を賑わすことが可能だったのではないだろうか。
　最低な所からスタートを切った僕のジャズ人生は浮き沈みのあるものであったが、最終的に七人の子供と三〇人の孫たちに見守られながら最後の時を迎える。
「素晴らしき人生だった。時に過ちもあったが、それをも乗り越えこの幸せに辿り着くことができた。私は感謝する。神に、そして全ての原点たる電子レンジで温めたソイジョイに……」
　あれほど巧みにトランペットを操っていた僕の手はもう動かない。しかし妻や息子たちにしっかりと握られたは手は暖かいまま。それを感じながら僕は静かにこの世を去るのだ――

Is Japanese the most JUST language in existence? It's terribly inefficient, vague and retarded. They spend so much time coming up with letters that they forget to express something meaningful with them, and when they try to do, they trip over their retarded grammar.

...

If you like retarded languages, just look at English

It's okay buddy you'll get the hang of grammar eventually

Please don't use Rurumo for your meme threads.

That's pretty much what kana only sentences always look like to me anyway

>2/3rds through core
>still haven't bothered to try to read anything

How do you read 下 in 下を向いて?

the same way

should I just read raw manga with furigana? I really can't stand doing anki.

But したをむいて sounds awkward

You should do your fucking reps AND read raw manga.

Anki isn't supposed to be the focus of your studies, reading and listening should always come first when you're able to do so

You don't learn anything from doing anki, it just reminds you of shit, vocab and whatever else doesn't solidify inside your memory until you encounter them enough times in native material

俯いて

>SOLIDIFY
Thanks, I'll remember that for next time

thank you for serious replies. I'll try and balance my studies more so I don't burn out.

What are you learning Japanese for?

rolling

literally twice the amount of memes aint gonna browse themselves

トナカイ千ちゃんを跨いでもいいですか

Watching chinese cartoons without subs, reading VNs, masturbating to doujins and actually achieving something in my life that I can be proud of.

>You don't learn anything from doing anki, it just reminds you of shit
You make it sound like anki is useless when most vocab can be studied just fine through anki alone. There isn't some switch in your brain for each word that only gets flipped once you remember it on your own outside of anki.

Of course you can't learn a language just through grinding vocab, but trying to gain vocab without dedicating half an hour a day or so to anki is an absolute waste of time. Why do people promoting reading always have to do so while acting like anki is poison?

When I regained my senses my feet were already faltering after sending the powder to the women's dormitory, I ate the Soijoi I received from the god Abura. However, my mind and body, comanded by the exhaustion, made me think in throwing the pack as it was in the dormitory's electric stove, and with it's full force it started to warm me.
But I probably ate something warm for dinner. That's what it really was. I was deeply moved though, like a boy who clings to the show window yearning for a trumpet - that's how close it was.
But what was happening in front of me wasn't a gentleman who buys and gifts a trumpet to a strange kid, it was a microwave baptism. When I thought the meat in the stove was shining brighter, there was an explosion like the sound of a buffon's joke along with the sparks from the bag in the fire, and the breaker of the dormitory went flying.
- So, as divine punishment, I won't be getting any breakfast.

(cont)

Thanks bro but what about the first game?

I know that anki is a really useful tool obviously, I wasn't trying to make it sound like it's pointless, I just hate it when everyone acts like anki is the cornerstone of language learning, it shouldn't be treated like the primary activity you should be doing, it should be treated as a supplement to reading just to remind you of vocabulary that you're not encountering in native material

Sweet google translate, mate.

(cont)

If we're talking about warming up, that bag I ripped to the best I could should've gone to the electric stove.
...No, even before, when I was a kid yearning for a trumpet clinging in the show window, if there's something as a law of equality, that breaker wouldn't have flown, and assuming I could eat a Soijoi as a warm dinner, wouldn't there be the possibility of me being a first grade Jazzman who'd enliven the entire world in the future?
Starting from the lowest place possible, my jazz life was waved up and down but, ultimately I'd welcome my final moments while watching over my seven children and thirty grandchildren.
"It was a wonderful life. There were times of mistakes but, after overcoming them I was able to arrive to this happiness. I am grateful. To god, and to the origin of everything, the warm Soijoi in the electric stove..."
My hand, who could handled the trumpet that much skillfully, couldn't move anymore. However it was just as warm from my wife and children strongly holding my hands. And while feeling that, I quietly departed this world.

Done.
Sooo long, and long sentences are kinda hard because I think it's easy to mix one with another and get something weird in there.
Anyway this was my attempt, if there are any errors you can spot please comment on, I'll appreciate.

M-m-master, when I was on the Quasar I had a paracoita, a doll, you see, a genicon, so beautiful with her great pupils as dark as wells, her i-irises purple like asters or pansies blooming in summer, Master, whole beds of them, I thought, had b-been gathered to make those eyes, that flesh that always felt sun-warmed. Wh-wh-where is she now, my own scopolagna, my poppet? Let h-h-hooks be buried in the hands that took her! Crush them, Master, beneath stones. Where has she gone from the lemon-wood box I made for her, where she never slept at all, for she lay with me all night, not in the box, the lemon-wood box where she waited all day, watch-and-watch, Master, smiling when I laid her in so she might smile when I drew her out. How soft her hands were, her little hands. Like d-d-doves. She might have flown with them about the cabin had she not chosen instead to lie with me. W-w-wind their guts about your w-windlass, stuff their eyes into their mouths. Unman them, shave them clean below so their doxies may not know them, their lemans may rebuke them, leave them to the brazen laughter of the brazen mouths of st-st-strumpets. Work your will upon those guilty. Where was their mercy on the innocent? When did they tremble, when weep? What kind of men could do as they have done—thieves, false friends, betrayers, bad shipmates, no shipmates, murderers and kidnappers. W-without you, where are their nightmares, where are their restitutions, so long promised? Where are their chains, fetters, manacles, and cangues? Where are their abacinations, that shall leave them blind? Where are the defenestrations that shall break their bones, where is the estrapade that shall grind their joints? Where is she, the beloved whom I lost?

>divine punishment
when even rikai is beyond your skill level

Excellent taste. Are you reading it right now?

It's on 3dsiso

I'm thinking about getting a vita. What are some good Japan only games to practice my Japanese with? Of course, I know that there are plenty of VNs that I'd like to play, but maybe I should start with something slightly less text dependent?

>if there are any errors you can spot please comment on
Pretty much all of it is wrong. Did you rikai every word and rearranged them around until they fit?
At least finish tae kim before trying to guesslate shit.

うた組み５７５
シェルノサージュ
ダンジョントラベラーズ2
東京ザナドゥ
アトリエシリーズ
限界凸記 モエロクロニクル

VNs are better played on PC with a text hooker, though, constantly putting vita down to look shit up is not the comfiest experience.

Nope, I don't use rikai, but I use EDICT and Akebi's (Android App) dictionary (dunno which is).

Would you mind showing me my errors?

If you like rhythm games 太鼓の達人Vバーション has a pretty cute story mode and is fairly light on text.

とき as in 刻, you know, marking a 2-hour period.

Halp, so many questions:

> 昨夜、意識を取り戻して
Last night, I regained consciousness
> も足下が覚束なかった白粉[おしろい]を女子寮に送っていった後、
it was after sending the powder to the women's dormitory (足下が覚束なかった = could this be as in regretting one's actions?)

> 心身ともに疲弊
Mind and body along with exhaustion
> しきっていた
Formula? Expression? Style? Command? Direction?
> 僕は何を思ったのかもらった
What I got (or was allowed to?) to think was
> それをパックに入ったまま寮の電子レンジに投入
それを confuses me, if it was それは I could think of it as "that is" but it's not...

Also, where is this from?

Yeah, I don't have as much time to play VNs on PC anymore. Which is one of the reasons why I'm thinking of getting a vita.
I do like rhythm games, but I don't know if playing a Taiko game without a drum sounds like much fun to me.

もらったそれを

The most confusing part of thhe original post is indeed formatting. iIt got you too.

>I don't know if playing a Taiko game without a drum sounds like much fun to me.
you're only allowed to say this if you're 九段 or higher in arcades desu

Don't get Taiko for jap practice though, that's ridiculous. There's like no text and the story is shit. I would only get a vita for jp practice if you're past the point where you need texthookers, otherwise stick to PC

There's a demo on the PSN store if you want to try.

Another one with cute, bite-sized story interludes that I enjoyed is ぷよぷよテトリス, but that game's longevity depends completely on how much you like puyo puyo or tetris.

what kanji do you have trouble writing without assistance?

It's not that I can't remember how to write it obviously, but I can never seem to draw 女 right for some reason, always looks like ass

...

疑心暗鬼

Well, I've never even bothered to use text hookers, actually. Always kind of felt like an inorganic way to learn to me. I just look up words when I feel its necessary.

I'll probably get shit on for asking this, but is there a good guide for only learning spoken japanese? I mostly watch anime so I have little interest in learning kanji/katakana/hiragana.

...

ない

Japanese the spoken language is all romaji iirc. Really though you're going to cripple yourself immensly by not learning at least kana

Today I did Anki for 24 minutes and then read a visual novel for 2 hours and 9 minutes.

convince japanese immigrants in your home country to adopt you

I see you started reading monogatari as well

Should have done Anki for 2 hours and 33 minutes

Please stop studying more than me you are making me feel bad.

Thought so. Watching shows like SZS would have been impossible without learning that anyway.

>Today I did Anki for 24 hours

What do you want to do by learning Japanese so hard?

My dream is to one day become a kanji myself.

become emperor and invade china
