You know what? As a kiddo in Finland, my family (and our immediate neighbors) were one of the few to see Cartoon Network at all so I have childhood nostalgia not generally shared with my fellow countrypeeps. After CN stopped airing (and we children should have been in bed), the channel occasionally aired sumo wrestling which was so cool. Everything's better when it's bigger.

I just love how my brain, on some subconscious level, totally buys that this is one episode in a real old stop motion animation series.

What's your Japanese learning history been like? I've been thinking of whether to learn German or Japanese next and my main worry with the latter is its writing system, but, I mean, here you are working on it.

I do not worry about getting to the end of literacy if I pursue Japanese, like reading novels and such, but whether I can conceive a route to get there that has some rewards on its own. With French its pretty simple: read a couple pages in a novel and get to progress in story in a daily session, noticing it's getting easier and faster on a monthly basis and so on. I'm kind of wondering how I would set up my routine and when I could realistically expect to have fun playing a game or reading manga in Japanese.

I have the fannish itch to share it yet I don't know who would be interested in it. A marvelous thing that is impenetrable by design without being least bit pretentious.

Yup! Apparently there are multiple vids being done in parallel so we should be seeing more content more often in the coming next 11 months at least! Not that Tim has anything to apologize for.
