The keys of anime selection are (i) whether it helps you to learn Japanese, and (ii) whether it’s “fun”. Continuous learning is difficult without stimulation to your  curiosity and motivation to acquire the language knowledge. As a native Japanese speaker, I  reviewed and evaluated Japanese level of the works, the prevalence of difficult words, the ways the characters talk, the difficulty of the story, etc. I hope this list can contribute to your Japanese learning journey. The list can be sorted by the Releasing Year and Rating of the works, check out the newest and most interesting ones! The rating method and the calculation method of Japanese difficulty are described in each link.

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal

©和月伸宏/集英社・フジテレビ・アニプレックス

76468.81. Impossible1. N1+++2001Action/Battle4---This work is a story of the past of Kenshin Himura, the main character of the super popular series. Therefore, the stage of this work is around 1853 to 1869, which is older than the TV version. This work has a strong element of studying history even for Japanese people. And since many words of this era such as "Edo" and "Gokenin" appear in this work, the level of difficult words is higher than that of working people. Also, since this work is set in this era, the appearance rate of difficult words is very high. The only people who can watch this work without subtitles are those who are quite confident in Japanese (honestly, it is not suitable for learning Japanese). Rather, since this work depicts Japanese culture, politics, and life from 1853 to 1869, it is better to watch it with subtitles to learn about Japanese history and the feeling of life at that time.98867468.8 =117 terms / 4 episodes * 16th grade

724241. Impossible1. N1+++2001Action/Battle2---This work is the story of Kenshin and others after the original. Therefore, the times are more advanced than the TV anime version. Since the characters in this work have regrets in their hearts, there are many scenes where they look back on the past. Contrary to the historical background of this work, they are obsessed with swordsmanship. Therefore, the words that appear are old, and the level of difficult words is higher than that of working people. For example, the words "Katajikenai" and "Tsujigiri" are rarely used in modern Japan. Moreover, this work has a very high appearance rate of difficult words. And some characters have an old-fashioned way of speaking, so they are not suitable for emulation. For example, Seijyuurou Hiko. The stage of this work is around 1868-1912. Japanese culture of this era is a mix of Japanese and Western styles and is interesting. Japanese learners who like Japanese history should enjoy this work with subtitles.8.587.566424 =53 terms / 2 episodes * 16th grade

7358.86. Basic6. N4-N32002Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---Anyway, the first half, the middle stage, and the second half are boring, but it is a work that touches the last 13 episodes. The process by which the angel is saved is carefully drawn. I thought that I would just enjoy the view of the world, and prepared a proper message. The drawings and backgrounds have an old impression, but they can be evaluated as appropriate choices for expressing the world view. The music is nothing special, but the sound effects do a very good job. If you don't watch until the very end, you won't know how good it is, so watch up to the last episode. As for learning Japanese, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that some old-fashioned terms come out, but since there is no difficult language in general, even Learners who understand the basics of Japanese can enjoy watching while using subtitles.8.5777758.8 =63 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

6656.46. Basic6. N4-N32002Slice of life26---This work is a school comedy anime. It depicts Japanese school life, and many of the difficult words that appear are related to school. For example, "Vice Principal". Most of the characters are high school girls, so difficult words are at the high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. This work is recommended for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese. Except for Ayumu Kasuga, which has a little dialect, the characters speak normally, so there is no problem in emulating or listening. This is an old anime, but it is one of the works that contributed to the establishment of the "Slice of life" genre, so if you have time, you can watch it.776.54.5856.4 =121 terms / 26 episodes * 12th grade
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien8452.86. Basic6. N4-N32003Romance14---This work is a story about the suffering of love. It's an old work, but the intense story that goes through the viewer's heart is wonderful. The leading men and women are in the third year of high school and are preparing to take an examination or get a job. Therefore, many terms related to examinations and employment appear in this work. For example, "落第" (Rakudai, failure) and "内定" (Naitei, unofficial decision). Also, because the main character works part-time at a family restaurant, words about his workplace and work are scattered. For example, "厨房" (Chuubou, kitchen) and "伝票" (Denpyou, slip). Therefore, the difficult word level of this work is high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is low. Also, the characters in this work are all people who speak normally. Although the drawing and character design are old, it has a very good story and music, so I highly recommend this work toLearners who understand the basics of Japanese.897.58.5952.8 =61 terms / 14 episodes * 12th grade

I don't think that the world setting is Europe, but the conversation is composed of very real Japanese. Because of the work set in the back organization, words and terminology are difficult, and there are many terms in the back society, so only Advanced learners of Japanese can study Japanese with this anime.8.578.565106.8 =115 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

65406. Basic6. N4-N32003Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy26---To be honest, the first half is boring, but the second half will be a full-scale development. The cherry blossoms that fulfill the wishes, the magic, and the memories of childhood, which had been laid down in the first half, are intertwined little by little, creating a dark story. At first glance, it looks like a love-hate drama, but it shows us a group of characters swayed by an unreasonable destiny. You may find the eroge-specific character settings and cheap settings boring, but be patient until the second half. The later the second half, the more interesting the development and sound, the more emotional it becomes. Especially the painful melody of the piano contributes to the psychological description of the character. It's a very old work and the character design is also vintage, but as a good work of the good old days, you should watch this animation as part of your history study. Even for learning Japanese, there are not many difficult words and the level of difficulty of words is not so high because it is a romantic anime on stage at school. An anime suitable for learning Japanese, which is highly recommended for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese.7676.5640 =129 terms / 26 episodes * 8th grade

The name of the motorcycle is Hermesu. The Erumesu is a mysterious motorcycle that speaks words. This work depicts various encounters between Kino and others. Many fictitious city-states appear in this work. People's lives vary from country to country. There are many genres of difficult words that appear in this work. Many idioms, old words, and words about armament and combat also appear. Since the difficult language level of this work is very high, it will be a Japanese learning animation for Advanced learners of Japanese.755.55.56148.8 =120 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

It's a very old work, but Shinku's quotes are still quite valid today. This work is a must-see masterpiece that reminds us of universal values.101089.59132.8 =99 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

Now, let's get into the main subject. There is no need to explain the story or world view of this work. Police and medical terms appear in each episode, so the level of difficulty in this work is very high. Fortunately, the characters speak in a stable manner. Therefore, if you are a challengable learner of Japanese or above ... No, I can't recommend learning Japanese with this anime. Reason?

The warship and battle animations are masterpieces and don't feel old. You might have heard it because the music used in audio production is famous. Now that KanColle and Azur Lane are all the rage, it would be interesting to look back at a real battleship anime. From the perspective of learning Japanese, as you expected, it is an on-parade of terms related to military terms and weapons and ammunition. In addition, there are many political, strategic and tactical conversations. The names of great people in history and the names of regions often appear. Needless to say, it is an anime with a high level of difficulty in Japanese, which even users have ultimate difficulty understanding.9.579.577248 =321 terms / 26 episodes * 20th grade

The mechanic design, which is a world view, is also a workmanship with high commitment. The drawing ability to express it is perfect. It's a 2004 work, but the mechanic action that moves so far must be evaluated as wonderful. The story and worldview are very similar to some work, but the message it claims is an interesting subject. From the viewpoint of learning Japanese, the number of difficult words is not large for SF mechanical action. One of the reasons is that there are many Katakana terms.7.5598.56100.8 =163 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

71100.84. Advanced4. N2-N12004Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy26---The story of the first half is a battle with a templated monster, but the battle development of Spoiler in the second half is intensely interesting. The fate that the heroines carry is terrible. Personally I don't like characters. However, the animation and background drawing levels are high. I would like to appreciate that the powerful drawing of the action scene and the design of the unique weapon and equipment mechanic (?) Called Element are unique (of course, considering that this animation is an old work). Sound provides a good source of sound where it's needed, and this can be appreciated. The high-tone female chorus helps to create a serious atmosphere. In the first half, there are a lot of things that make me feel sick, but I want you to wait until the second half. You can see why it was so popular at the time. The reason why the level of difficulty in Japanese is advanced is that there are few terms that are difficult to understand for SF genres. However, Kyoto dialects and characters who speak arrogantly will appear, so consider the character's individuality when practicing listening.8.567.56.57100.8 =216 terms / 26 episodes * 12th grade

The characters are cute and good, but they have a strong lori element. At that time, the world view was centered around a magical girl with a epoch-making setting, and the device's heavy sound effects were very good. The quality of the drawing varies considerably. Since there are not so many coined words and battle terms, intermediate-level players will be able to enjoy this animation in Japanese. However, be careful with Lori.7.5768776.8 =82 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

Is the viewing method wrong? An analysis of Japanese shows that there are some criminal terms and there is no habit. The term is often used in society and news, so it is a difficult one, but I would recommend it to learners planning to live in Japan. You can listen to realistic terms and ways of speaking often used in the real world.856.556190.4 =154 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

972023. Extreme3. N1+2005Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance12---A story in which the main character, a puppeteer, meets a heroine while traveling alone, and while overcoming various hardships, they are attracted to each other. Conversations range from general to historical. Unlike its appearance, this anime is very difficult to understand in Japanese. However, since this is a historical masterpiece animation, you should watch it regardless of whether you are studying Japanese or not. There are also a lot of idioms, hospital-related words, religious words, and sci-fi elements that will take a lot of time to understand. The story itself is very difficult, and there are many words that modern Japanese don't usually use. Therefore, it is a very difficult anime for Japanese learners to practice listening. This work may be difficult even for extreme level learners, so I don't recommend learning Japanese with this story.109109.510202 =121 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

Basically, because of the story of the school romantic comedy, the terms that appear are very similar. The way each character speaks is fairly stable for fantasy, and there is no strange character. Although the Japanese level of this anime is intermediate, it is not because there are many fantasy terms, but because there are many phrases and idioms peculiar to Japanese (of course there are many terms related to romance, but that is not bad as a material for learning. )8.5889972 =143 terms / 24 episodes * 12th grade

812222. Ultimate2. N1++2005Action/Battle, Drama24---A classic and hard-working ninja anime. Not for children like Naruto, but for adults. Therefore, there are many erotic and grotesque depictions, and there are many political and historical elements in the development of the story. The characters have unique ninjutsu, but their individuality is clear and the composition of the world view is outstanding. It's an old work, but very polite and well-moving animations and backgrounds that perfectly reproduce the historical background are worth seeing. The OP song is very nice, further enhancing the unique evaluation of this anime. There are few hard-lined ninja animes, so I would like to recommend it to viewers who are bitten by childish works. From a viewpoint of learning Japanese, it goes without saying that the way the characters speak is classic because the historical background is hundreds of years ago. It's not difficult for Japanese who are studying Japanese classics, but it can be ultimately difficult for foreigners. In addition, there are so many historical terms that it is difficult for foreigners who do not know Japanese history. The difficulty level of Japanese is very high, so you should watch this work for the purpose of purely enjoying anime, not as learning Japanese.8.57988222 =266 terms / 24 episodes * 20th grade

Difficult Japanese does not appear frequently throughout this work, and since many of the characters speak in politeness, I will recommend this anime for Japanese beginners to watch as a reference for everyday conversation. Since the main character is a woman, it can be recommended as a teaching material to learn how to speak like Japanese women.8.587.58813.6 =21 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

What's more, this work uses Japanese classical and religious ideas to create a mysterious story. The "worm", which is the center of this mysterious story, has an ambiguous shape and existence. Therefore, this work has many religious terms such as "eight million gods," "living gods," and "contraindications." Therefore, the difficult language level of this work is very high. Also, since the characters speak in an old-fashioned way, this work is recommended for Advanced learners of Japanese who are interested in Japanese history.8.5677.57126.4 =204 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

The story revolves around battle and everyday life. It's a story I've seen somewhere. In addition, a secret is hidden in the story, and many terms of war and weapons appear. Therefore, the difficult word level of this work is very high, and the difficult word appearance rate is also high.

The view of the world is designed in such a fine detail that it is difficult to understand the concept. And although the view of the world is good, the story is not interesting at all for some reason, it is not interesting for some reason. The movement is not very flashy for the battle action, but the drawing is quite stable ... For learning Japanese, Advanced is used to judge the level of difficulty in Japanese, but there are many work-specific terms, and the world settings surrounding them are complicated and profound, making it difficult to understand the behind-the-scenes of a story.76767120 =178 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

In particular, “薨御" (こうぎょ, death of important person) is a very very difficult word. Also, because there are many battle scenes, there are also many strategic terms such as “staff officer”, “annihilation” and “disturbance”. “linear scar” will be quite difficult. In addition, because there are many adult characters, difficult terms such as “enlightenment” come out. The ultimate is the politics, royalty, and military class, so the honorific level in the public scene is the highest. This is a difficult word level that even Japanese people are a little troubled with. Learning Japanese with this anime is quite difficult.9.59989200 =248 terms / 25 episodes * 20th grade

In addition, there are a lot of technical terms such as difficult conversation of adults, criminal and yakuza. Contrary to the character's appearance, it is very difficult to learn Japanese with this work because it is a super masterpiece anime with a story that is heavy even if the content is heavy.10968.59250 =324 terms / 26 episodes * 20th grade

837.27. Beginner7. N5-N42006Drama, Romance24---Since most of the Japanese used in the whole is mostly general, this anime is very suitable for watching Japanese learning. Let's note that how to talk about some female characters is exaggerated for anime. Japanese used by Minase Nayuki is very correct and becomes a reference for everyday conversation. On the other hand, like Kawasumi Mai, the manner of talking of reticent characters is somewhat difficult for reference to Japanese used in everyday conversation. As for the overall ratio, there are a lot of plain Japanese. The difficult terms occurrence rate is very low: 0.8 terms/episode, and the difficulty level of terms and conversation is also the lowest: 8th grade. Also, difficult words are used only in comedy parts and they do not come out in the main story, so it is easy to grasp the summary of the story. You must pay attention only to the way of female characters talking. However, it is also in the range that does not affect Japanese viewing. I recommend this anime to beginner.7.5810797.2 =20 terms / 24 episodes * 8th grade

However, it goes without saying that watching this anime is essential because it is the starting point for the subsequent Fate series. This is also the reason why the series continues for more than 10 years. The story, the worldview, and the perfection of the character do not go away over the years, and there is a history that is loved all over the world while increasing the number of fans to this day.

Although it is a 2006 work, the world view and story are very well prepared, and it is a story of great completion. The character designs are old, but each has its own unique character composition with its charm. It is set in a different world where magic exists, but surprisingly few terms are related to magic. On the contrary, the terms of royal family, royal palace, and aristocratic societies such as counts and political terms appear frequently. Therefore, since there are human classes, the honorific level used by characters is more difficult than in modern society.

The story is a climb action, with many organizations and people belonging to the underworld. Therefore, this work has a rather cruel depiction in some scenes. Since this work can be said to be a work for adults, the terminology is often metaphorical at the adult level. For example, there are many difficult words used by the Mafia such as "Mikajime" and "Jingi", and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. The wording of the characters is rough and not the words commonly used by Japanese people. Even if your Japanese ability is higher than N1, you don't have to bother learning Japanese with this anime.

Because the animation is set in a fictional world, some terms specific to the work appear. For example, "Undine" is a job to guide tourists on a gondola. However, there are not so many terms specific to the work, so you won't have trouble understanding them. It's a fantasy, but it's mostly a conversation about a situation you hear every day.

If the masterpiece on the front is Clannad, the masterpiece on the back is this anime. However, there are many otaku who do not know this anime. This work is a romantic anime, but it is not a normal story. It is an intense and super-developed romance drama with elements such as love triangles, memory problems, and accidents. Many of the difficult words that appear are used on a daily basis, such as "all night" and "tenosynovitis," and the level of difficult words is about junior high school students, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. All the characters speak in a normal way and are suitable for emulation and listening. This work is recommended for beginner Japanese learners. But you won't be able to study with this anime.

9216.87. Beginner7. N5-N42007Drama, Romance22---Many high school students appear in this Anime, and naturally there are lots of conversations between family members. Some of the characters talk in a very distinctive way, however, you can hear a natural Japanese in general. I will recommend this Anime for a Beginner, as the difficulty level is low. When characters talk about their true feelings, we can get their feelings that are not able to be communicated in writing. You can listen to, both in a positive and a negative way, a real "Japanese (two-sided)" conversation. This would be a very good training for imagining the characters' feelings, not only from their conversation but also from their facial expressions and behaviors.991010816.8 =30 terms / 22 episodes * 12th grade

8192.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22007Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy26---Considering from the present in the 2020s when AR technology is being operated, it is amazing that this animation was already visualized in 2007, more than 10 years ago. The stage of this work is Japan in the near future. "Cyber glasses" are widespread in Japan in the near future. "Cyber glasses" are eyeglass-type wearable computers that use a technology called "Cyber". Pets using "Cyber" are also popular in Japan in the near future. The main character of this work is Yuuko Okonogi, a sixth grader. She belongs to "Cyber Detective" and encounters various incidents. In this work, there are many terms related to "Cyber" and many idioms appear. Therefore, the difficult language level of this work is very high. Intermediate and above Japanese learners will be able to watch without subtitles. However, it is a very interesting work that combines the three elements of suspense, mystery, and S / F at a high level, so it is better to enjoy watching anime purely.1077.57992.8 =150 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

At first glance, it seems like suitable for beginners in learning Japanese because there are also many lines at slow speed. However, it is difficult to fully understand by just watching this anime once, such as Konata's geeky talk and Miyuki's long lines. In order to understand and enjoy the contents of the conversation in this anime, it is necessary to have the knowledge related to Japanese subculture. In terms of studying Japanese, this anime is for over basic level learners.7.597.58.5956 =83 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

73725. Intermediate5. N3-N22007Romance12---The main character, Makoto Ito, has various relationships with women, and in the end, it is an animation of a tremendous destruction. As a result, many romantic words and lines appear. However, it is difficult to use the term because it is not a term of pure love, but rather a term of guilt such as cheating or adultery. That's because the story is about love, so even elementary school students are familiar with the term, but Japanese learners are not. And if you don't understand these romantic terms, you don't know how the characters feel or what they say. Therefore, it is necessary to understand these romantic terms, so it can be said that the study in this work is aimed at more than Intermediate people.955.59872 =71 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

There are multiple characters and groups, and many characters make double spy movements, so the work requires viewers to understand. Although it is an anime in a realistic setting, the quality of the character design is exactly guaranteed. Especially, the female characters are pretty and beautiful. The action scene is drawn and the background image of Tokyo, which is the stage, is at a high level. Although it is an old work, it is an anime recommended for high-level otaku who want a complicated story. As for learning Japanese, there are many adult conversations because the genre of this anime depicts the underlying society. Therefore, the honorific level is high and there are many political talks. Learners below the extreme level should watch this anime with subtitles.8.5786.58176 =284 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

The difficult word level of this work is high school student level, and the difficult word appearance rate is not high. In addition, many of the difficult words in this work are often used in Japanese daily life. In addition, this work has few lines, so it is very suitable for learning Japanese.

7284.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22007Drama26---This work is a sports drama in which high school students strive for Koshien, a national baseball tournament. Since the baseball scene of this work develops a psychological warfare for each ball, Japanese learners who like baseball will enjoy it very much. In addition, this work depicts the daily life and psychology of high school students as much as the depiction of baseball. However, it should be noted that the difficult language level is very high. This is because baseball terms and training terms come out. Ren Mihashi, the main character, is characteristic of the character's way of speaking. He is very weak and not confident in himself. Therefore, he speaks in a single word. It is not uncommon for Japanese people who can only speak in this way to be real. As the story progresses, Ren Mihashi's way of speaking changes. It is interesting for Japanese learners to pay attention to that as well. For intermediate and above Japanese learners, this anime will be a good way to learn Japanese.8.567.57784.8 =136 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

Therefore, most of the difficult words used in this work are words that are used on a daily basis and words about Japanese events. For example, "green and yellow vegetables," "Hayatochiri," and "Hatsumode." The difficult words in this work are at the junior high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. Her eldest daughter, Haruka Minami, speaks polite women's. Japanese learners will listen and emulate her way of speaking. The second daughter, Kana Minami, speaks unisex. This is pretty real, so please emulate it with the understanding that it's a unisex way of speaking. Her third daughter, Chiaki Minami, uses fairly strong words for her second daughter, but polite words for her eldest daughter. If you pay attention only to the way the third daughter speaks, this work can be watched without subtitles even by Learners who understand the basics of Japanese. It's an old work, but it's a surreal comedy that will surely make you laugh.675.57.5863.2 =94 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

As announced. However, the drawing level is unexpectedly high, and the movement of the mechanism is amazing. The background is also high level. As for learning Japanese, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that there are few mechanic terms but many politics and idioms. There are many adult characters, so some difficult words are used.

This anime belongs to Slice of Life, but since it has many difficult terms, it is recommended for learners with a Japanese level of Intermediate or higher. In addition to all the characters speaking politely, there are also honorifics, everyday words and feminine words, so I would like to recommend this animation to intermediate and higher learners of Japanese. There are also a lot of things to learn about Japanese seasons and culture, so it's a very good anime to learn about Japan.6.5676.5785.2 =99 terms / 14 episodes * 12th grade

651084. Advanced4. N2-N12007Romance13---It is a love animation of high school students. The first half is a tedious development, but it is very good that the story falls from the middle stage to the dark side. Recommended for those who like gloomy stories. Therefore, be patient with the boring first half. The drawing is stable and the quality is sufficient. The background images are also stable and can be viewed with confidence. However, the rough sound is noticeable. This is a deduction. In the second half, the painful music that moves the heart is very good, but the production is bad. On the contrary, both OP and ED are very good songs. This is a must listen. Anyway, the sound production is poor, and everything else is not bad. Recommended for those who want to see a slightly darker story. As for learning Japanese, all characters are ordinary speaking styles, and there are not many difficult terms at the student level. It's also called a romantic anime, so if you're an advanced learner, it's quite possible to practice listening in Japanese with this work.6.56776108 =117 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

Therefore, many Japanese daily conversations appear in this work. Terms are often used in everyday conversation such as "New Year holidays" and "housework". The difficult words in this work are at the junior high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. However, you need to be careful about how the character speaks. The second person of Chiaki Minami is "Omae". She also uses a fairly strong male language. Therefore, her words are not suitable for emulation. Meanwhile, she speaks polite honorifics to her eldest daughter, Haruka Minami. If you pay attention only to this point, even Learners who understand the basics of Japanese learning can watch this anime without subtitles. It is an anime with a very sharp comedy.6.565.57758.4 =87 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

This is a work of 2007 and the character design is old, but at that time it was predominant. The drawing is old but relatively stable. As for learning Japanese, there are many parodies, and there are so many "peeping" sounds in the parodies' lines that it is almost impossible to hear unless you know the original story. There are a wide variety of terms that seem to be comedy, and the terms related to the material have no sense of unity, so they are not suitable as learning materials. The way the characters speak is relatively real. Many butlers and maids have appeared, and their honorific level is very high, so this is a good learning material. Although the Japanese level is classified as basic, it is not recommended to study Japanese in comedy anime.6656.5757.6 =245 terms / 52 episodes * 12th grade

Male characters speak normally, but female characters use interesting ways of speech so you need to pay attention. Compared to the previous work, this work can hear a lot more realistic and adult conversations. You should listen carefully to the words of the characters based on a delicate and polite story. Needless to say, this anime is a historical masterpiece, so please watch it. The plot and the setting is based on a daily life, so the contents of the conversations are mostly about daily life. Especially conversations between families and teenagers are repeated. This anime nicely portrays the characters' feelings. For example, Tomoya does not think well of his father, so he blurs the conversation when it is about his family. The plot is about the process of graduating high school and getting a job, so it will surely be helpful for your future. Anyway, it is an extraordinary piece of work so this anime is recommended for everyone.10101091013.2 =23 terms / 22 episodes * 12th grade

9450.46. Basic6. N4-N32008Romance12---This work is the second season of "ef: a tale of memories." Not only does it have an excellent story that is more crazy and ugly than its predecessor, but it also has the drawing, direction, music, and sound that fully complement it. Many of the difficult words in this work have a negative image, such as "addict" and "suicide." However, many difficult words themselves are simple words, which are at the junior high school level. Since the characters speak normally, this work is recommended for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese. However, since the story has a darker element than the previous work, it is necessary to understand the meaning behind the words. In both good and bad ways, this anime has a strong story that pierces the viewer's heart, so the Japanese level itself is not high, but it will be difficult to learn Japanese with this work. This work is not well known, but it is a masterpiece anime among the masterpieces of the 2000s, so if you call yourself an otaku, you must watch to it.9.5999.51050.4 =50 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

However, because of the world view of the work, there are many youkai and police-related terms, so if this anime is really suitable for learning Japanese, it is limited to extreme level learners of Japanese.9.588.58.57200 =150 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

You can also enjoy a Japanese typical comedy element, "Boke" and "Tsukkomi", which are roles that form a Japanese Vaudeville duo. I would like the Beginners of the Japanese learners to watch this Anime because there are very few difficult terms as conversations of high school students are central. This Anime mainly consists of daily conversation, so difficult Japanese terms do not occur. It is good to know that the Japanese language used in this Anime is used by general high school students, somewhat deformed into comedy style. Since there is Japanese used in a relationship between friends, this Anime is useful as a learning material for Japanese language used in conversation with close friends.9107.58.579.6 =19 terms / 25 episodes * 12th grade

She is in love with Shinichirou, the main character who lives in the house. This is a platonic romantic anime. Looking only at the analysis results of Japanese difficulty, this work can be recommended for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese. The difficult word level of this work is about junior high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is not high. However, since there are many vague remarks and unspeakable lines peculiar to Japanese people, it is an animation that requires the ability to read unspoken line spacing. However, this is the same not only in anime but also in real Japan. Beginner to intermediate Japanese learners will find it very effective to study Japanese and Japanese sensibilities with this anime.988.57.5858.4 =94 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

The heroine of this work is Horo, the incarnation of a wolf in the wheat. Religious terms such as "nun" and "scripture" appear. Since the main character is a peddler, economic terms such as "business negotiations" and "discount" also appear. This economic term is full-fledged, and there are many terms that even Japanese people find difficult. The difficult word level of this work is also very high. Also, because Horo is a god, the way she speaks is like a god (?) And is unique.

N2-N12008Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---This work is an anime with three elements: fantasy, daily life, and comedy, which are based on traditional Japanese traditions and religious sensibilities, such as "Goshintai" and "Kegare." Therefore, the level of difficult words is about high school students, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high because terms of various genres appear. The main character, Jin Mikuriya, speaks normally and is suitable for emulation for male learners of Japanese. The heroine speaks arrogantly and high-flying. The reason is that she is a god. However, Japanese gods do not always speak this way (probably). And since she has a different personality depending on the scene, the settings and characters are very difficult for Japanese learners to understand. Therefore, I do not recommend learning Japanese with this work. However, although it is a minor work, the degree of completion of the work is good, so please watch it for the purpose of enjoying anime with subtitles.7.578.567150 =162 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

You may think that it is not difficult to listen to Japanese because the content of the conversation is so young, but in fact, it is not just such simple Japanese. Because laughter is surreal, the terms used are peculiar. Also, you will rarely see elementary school life in Japan. Therefore, it is a good work to know the culture such as a satchel for schoolchildren, a menu for school lunch in Japan, a candy store, and an umbrella. You can learn a little bit with the short story structure, so even people at elementary level can understand well. It is also recommended for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese who aims to step up.765.57.5744 =71 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

In particular, Koizumi's honorific is not at the student level. Kyon's dialogue, which accounts for half of the conversation, is also very varied and difficult to say. As for Nagato and Mikuru, it is difficult for the Japanese to understand because the content they speak is too difficult. Fortunately, the number of difficult words is not very high.

Among them, the "A Certain Scientific" series has a strong dark fantasy element and is very popular. The stage of this work is a town where all students are conducting psychic development experiments. The main character, Mikoto Misaka, has a higher level of supernatural powers. She uses her supernatural powers to solve various incidents that occur in the town. In this work, original words, criminal terms such as "bomber demon" and "discovery" and police terms are often used. In addition, some people use high-level honorifics, and there are many proverbs and idioms. Therefore, the difficult language level of this work is extremely high. While Mikoto Misaka speaks realistically as a junior high school student, Kuroko Shirai speaks a young lady and uses extremely high levels of honorifics. Needless to say, the Japanese level of this work is Extreme. Although it is not highly evaluated overseas, it is one of my favorite works, so I highly recommend it to people who like dark fantasy.910108.58190 =228 terms / 24 episodes * 20th grade

However, in this work, she turns into a normal high school student's way of speaking. However, this work has a very high appearance rate of difficult words.

"K-ON!" is an anime that depicts a club's activity loosely, so you can learn Japanese while relaxing. Since there are many natural tones, it becomes a reference as a way of talking when talking with girls even in a real daily scene. As their conversation includes plenty of Japanese vocabulary frequently used, even if you are a male, watching this anime is significant from the viewpoint of listening.

7286.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22009Drama, Horror/Suspence, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---It is an anime depicting interaction between humans and youkai. Besides the conversation between high school students, conversations with youkai who speaks in a bit old-fashioned way also appear. Please be aware that it is a bit far away from the point of learning Japanese in general because Japanese terms used in scenes related to youkai are often old. Terms related to youkai are also professional and old-fashioned. So you need to acquire preliminary knowledge in order to understand them. I think these words don't appear in your regular Japanese learning, but it is a good teaching material for you to aim for advanced level from intermediate.8.576.57786.4 =70 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

Can be used to listen to real conversations of teenagers and adults, so it is effective for learning Japanese. Generally, the conversations are between a junior high school student and a primary school pupil or with Mari, who tries to lower her language level, so it is easy to understand. Since the theme is a disaster, some specific terms come out, but no technical terminology appear. A variety of conversations can be heard, but it almost never affects the plot.10676.5628 =38 terms / 11 episodes * 8th grade

7087.65. Intermediate5. N3-N22009Drama, Romance26---It is a rare love anime with the theme of "Flirt". The view of the world and the story are designed to be extremely realistic, and the work is at a high level like a drama rather than an animation. The 13th episode in the first half may be boring, but from the middle stage to the latter half it becomes interesting. For the anime of the 2009's, the drawing is very delicate and delicate, and expresses the feelings of each character. Especially, the performance output that expresses emotions that girls can't express in terms of facial expressions and gestures is a gift at this drawing level. In the scene where you want to make an impression, there is a soft depiction with a pencil touch, and you can get a glimpse of the high performance output. Anyway, I would like to commend you for expressing the subtleties of delicate emotions with careful animation. Also, OP songs and inserted songs are masterpieces, and although they are minor titles, they have good music. As for learning Japanese, I would like to evaluate the ability to listen to conversation in an extremely realistic tone. It is an animation that can be fully watched without subtitles by intermediate level learners of Japanese.7.5687.5687.6 =188 terms / 26 episodes * 12th grade

The quality of the drawing is high, and the quality is high that I can't think of in 2010. Camera work is doing a good job. The sound is quite good, the directing music is good, the insertion song of viola and the directing of the piano are good. There are many erotic effects, which are also realistic eroticism. As for learning Japanese, since the level of difficult words is not high and the frequency of difficult words is not high, even Learners who understand the basics of Japanese can fully listen without subtitles.

The main character is involved in various incidents by witnessing the "headless rider". In this work, various people such as people in the dark society, thugs, high school students and dark doctors appear. Since various characters appear, the range of difficult words in this work is wide. There is a wide variety of terminology such as school terminology, chimpira terminology, medical terminology, and occult terminology. Therefore, the difficult language level of this work is Advanced. Since the story is complicated, I suggest that you forget about learning Japanese and enjoy it purely as an anime work.9.597.588108.8 =163 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

However, most of the daily conversations are based on student life, but Japanese-specific phrases and idioms frequently appear. Although it may be difficult for students to use enough, this is a good content to learn. There are surprisingly few terms related to the story, but it should be noted that the latter half of the story is difficult to develop. From the perspective of learning Japanese, students and youth speak the majority of the lines, and it is fortunate for Japanese learners that honorifics and slang do not appear. However, since the terms that appear are diverse from military relations to love, gags, etc., I will tell you again that it is an anime suitable for Advanced learners of Japanese.771098150.4 =121 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

822801. Impossible1. N1+++2010Slice of life, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This work uses a lot of military language. There are also military terms and strategic terms. Also, Japanese idioms are used, and the level is quite high. There are many conversations about the military, the past and national strategies of the characters, and the story itself is difficult. The level of Japanese language is very high because even if the characters are simply conversing on a daily basis, there are words that the learners are not familiar with. Also, the world view is hard to understand, and even though it is a story of the distant future, there is no sense of the future in life, but rather it is receding. The troops are in remote areas, ruins, and ruined fortresses, so they feel as if they have returned to the past. It is also difficult for Japanese learners to understand the national strategy, which is the core of the story, because the words are difficult. Therefore, it is difficult to use this work as a Japanese language study unless you are proficiency or Japanese people. However, this work is not suitable for learning, considering that the words are only military words that are not usually used.9.578.588280 =168 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

In addition, Kuroko Shirai is too polite as a character who speaks in a characteristic way, which is not what modern Japanese people usually use.

This work has been reborn into a good-quality romantic comedy anime. The character is drawn much more cute than the previous work, and the attractiveness is rising. However, since the connection with the previous work is completely broken, the first character appears without discomfort. Moreover, without explanation. Both the drawing and the background have improved considerably. Also, I want to evaluate that the frequency of underwear and eroticism has increased from the previous work, and it has also improved very much due to cuteness. From the viewpoint of learning Japanese, both the difficulty word appearance rate and the difficult word level are low, the difficulty level of romantic comedy is low, and the difficult words are not scattered at all. The appearance ratio of honorifics is low, and the way each character speaks is real and easy to hear. Since the content of the conversation is at the junior high school level, it can be said that it is a teaching material that can be used for learning Japanese except for erotic.6986.5728.8 =43 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

The content of the conversation is simple, so it is recommended as an elementary for learning Japanese. Similar situations are repeated for each heroine in an omnibus fashion. Therefore, it is easy to study Japanese because you can hear the same lines over and over again.

It's a complete story, but it's surprisingly interesting. The character design is very peculiar, but not bad. You won't feel any discomfort once you get used to it. The view of the world is unique, but boasts a high degree of perfection. The drawing is stable and the performance is good, but the work is good. It is an anime that you can enjoy fully with its unique design and comedy elements. There are many points to keep in mind from the viewpoint of learning Japanese. First, there are many old words and old phrases, not modern Japanese. In addition, since the number of lines is very large, the incidence of difficult words is also very high. Therefore, the Japanese difficulty level of this anime corresponds to one of the most difficult animes. Those who have the same level of language skills as native Japanese even among advanced Japanese people may want to take advantage of this anime, which further improves their Japanese ability. In short, learning Japanese is impossible with this anime.86678545.6 =409 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

However, it is a romance anime with a story that she had a secret that she did not want others to know.

However, Misaki Ayuzawa is arrogant and uses men's language at school, so female learners of Japanese should not emulate it.

This is my experience that I watched. From the standpoint of learning Japanese, the amount of dialogue of the protagonist is so large that it naturally falls into the Japanese difficulty category "Impossible".

Furthermore, servants summoned from the past, in addition to speaking old-fashioned, use the highest level honorifics as well as polite, humble and respected words.

All the appearing characters are very attractive both inside and outside (unlike the drama work, the character design is also very good). The world view and setting of the ryokan are very precise and well researched. The drawing and the background are of course the highest level in P.A.Works. Especially, the beauty of the background image is wonderful, and it is truly a drawing power that can attract sober materials. There are only drama works, and everyone speaks very realistically. The landlady's way of speaking is very real and you will be able to hear it. The serifs of the three heroines who use the honorific level well are very good for learning materials. Limited to Advanced learners of Japanese and above, this is a very good-quality anime and learning material for Japanese language.

This anime is a drama containing fantasy elements, but there are not many difficult words. However, it will be difficult to find criminal and weapon terms. Heroine Yuno Gasai is unusual in character and behavior, but she speaks normally (her voice is cute but her behavior is awful). Deus Ex Machina is a normal way of speaking, unlike its appearance. He speaks impressed, but not old-fashioned. On the contrary, Mur Mur speaks in a grand word with "xxx じゃ" at the end, unlike his appearance. There are many variations of difficult words, so if you are an advanced Japanese language learner, it will not be bad to try this anime. I also add that it is a very interesting anime.8.5888.5990 =193 terms / 26 episodes * 12th grade

8092.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22011Drama24---A hidden masterpiece animation with an extremely unique story, world view, drawing production, music, and sound production. A masterpiece depicting extremely heavy settings, family love, sin and punishment. It may seem boring in the early stages, but the story begins to develop from the 9th episode, and the difficulty and complexity increase rapidly. However, the precisely designed worldview that supports it is based on the abomination terrorist incident that actually occurred in Japan, and we are impressed by the challenging spirit that this animation appealed to the world. I have no choice. The final development begins from the 20th episode onwards. The story is difficult, so I recommend it to viewers who value the story. OP songs, ED songs with variations, and insertion songs are used extremely effectively, and it is wonderful that two famous songs are included. The only negative point is that the character design is not good enough and the acting voice of the leading voice actor is insufficient. From the perspective of learning Japanese, it may seem easy to watch because the number of difficult words is small, but there are many abstract and conceptual terms, and it is extremely difficult to develop the story. The numerical evaluation is an anime for intermediate learners of Japanese, but it will be difficult to understand the contents in Japanese unless you are at an intermediate level.9.5678.5992.8 =138 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

It is the end of the premise that follows the second term, but the second term is not announced. However, the character design is pretty cute. The two effects, erotic and gloss, are used properly. It's a dark fantasy, lots of blood, a past of torture is quite a bad, but a balanced production with comedy. Drawing is good only for action animation, there are few devised productions, but I feel a good sense everywhere. The theme song is pretty good. Must listen. The sound has a lot of repertoire for action, but the serious BGM is quite good and has the power to appeal to the spine. This is a unique work that has both dark fantasy and guro as its main elements, but also has many underwear and comedy. The theme song and the dance of the OP are very sexy and attractive, and the latter half of the OP is also good, with a very devised production. How difficult is Japanese?

It is particularly difficult to see classic monsters that are not used in modern times and religious terms related to Shinto. The main character is a shrine maiden with a background of Shinto, so it would be good to know part of Japanese culture (but it goes without saying that there is a problem as a learning subject in the first place, it is an interesting anime)7.5578876.8 =57 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

7386.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22011Drama25---This work is a story about high school students aiming to be the best in Japan. "Chihayafuru" means "strong momentum." The main character is a girl who is energetic enough to embody this word. Therefore, the main character does not use women's language very much and speaks in a neutral way. This is real. When emulating her way of speaking, make sure you understand that it is a neutral way of speaking. And this work is a story of playing karuta. Therefore, the difficult language level is very high. This is because, in addition to karuta terms, there are scenes for reading waka poems and explanations for classical words. However, since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work can be understood by intermediate Japanese learners.8777.5786.4 =133 terms / 25 episodes * 16th grade

In this anime, there are young people's words and young girls' words that real Japanese high school students speak. It is good for listening practice of reality high school students' spoken words but it is better not to emulate their way of talking. At the beginning of the story, the characters who reunited after a long time talk awkwardly. As time goes on, they will gradually be able to talk with real intention. Paying attention to the change in the way of speaking accompanying it, you will be able to learn more practical Japanese nuances. There are many natural Japanese language in the whole anime, there are no phrase-like lines. However, I say repeatedly, basically there are many young people's words, so as to practice listening but not to emulate.7.5777.5791.2 =62 terms / 11 episodes * 16th grade

Therefore, there are many battle and police terms and judicial terms, and the conversation contents are similar.

She talks a lot of simple words. He also uses easy words for her. Since 70% of conversations in this anime are between Rin and Daikichi, the difficulty level is very low. As mentioned above, some of her words are abbreviated but it is easy to understand the story by the actions of characters. Since the conversations between Rin and Daikichi are simple and heartwarming, it is good for your training of listening. This is a great anime that it should be recommended for Beginners of learning Japanese.865.56.567.2 =9 terms / 11 episodes * 8th grade

9421.67. Beginner7. N5-N42012Action/Battle, Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy8---It directs the real world and the spiritual world very well. The story and world view are quite difficult. If you can understand which characters are the two sides of the real world and the spiritual world, and what the spiritual world is linked to what the real world is, you will be drawn into the story of angry waves (repeatedly quite complicated). The dark production of disappointment and despair associated with friendship and romance is extremely wonderful. Characters, especially spiritual characters, are unique, beautiful, cool and attractive. The animation of the spiritual world is a 3D-based movement that moves very well and is a masterpiece. I will also add that the theme song is a masterpiece. A very unique masterpiece that is very unique and compactly packed with all the elements. Moreover, the difficulty level of Japanese is very low, so it is also suitable for Japanese listening practice. Certainly the story may be difficult, but it should be emphasized that it is worth more than that. It's a masterpiece.9.598.5101021.6 =21 terms / 8 episodes * 8th grade

Not only the character of the character but also the personality, inner face setting, and behavior are highly calculated. The view of the world that makes the most of horror with "Japan" Germany can be highly appreciated. The stability of the drawing and the 3D effects are beautiful everywhere, and the production of the death scene gives viewers a tremendous fear. In particular, the background that complements the worldview is beautiful and creepy, and must-see. The theme song matches the work very much and is a fearful OP.

941304. Advanced4. N2-N12012Comedy, Romance12---Because the characters are related to delusional, there are various words in this anime, such as formal words, S/F terms, and exaggerated phrases. Therefore, despite this anime is a school love comedy anime, the difficulty level of terms and conversation becomes the difficulty of the highest: 20th grade. The point which seems to be especially difficult for Japanese learners is that there are two patterns when each character plays a normal way of speaking and when they talk in the way of dramatic phrase. Therefore, I recommend over Advanced learners who can distinguish them to learn Japanese with this anime. However, repeatedly saying, since this anime is a outstanding anime, I want you to see this anime separately from learning Japanese.9109910130 =77 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

Because of the genre of the work, there are many different ways to play words, so if you're not proficient in Japanese, including proverbs, you can't understand the meaning. Many old-style and old-style kanji appear on the screen, but they are not used in modern times. It's not an unlikely way of speaking, but it's old-fashioned, esoteric, dialectic, and quirky.

However, the distinctive feature of this animation is that the characters use difficult speech styles like a literary work. You can appreciate extremely exquisite and complicated Japanese. I would like to recommend this anime to Japanese learners with more than proficient level. Some websites for Japanese learners recommends this anime as a learning textbook, but this must be a joke or mistake. The anime contains a lot of information to explain tricks and situations because it has elements of mystery. In this anime, an interesting technique is used when Houtarou is thinking, where words show up on the screen and move as if they were characters. You should be careful that the contents of the conversations are difficult. On the top of that, the amount of lines are huge and the speed of the conversations is quite fast.10101079316 =347 terms / 22 episodes * 20th grade

Of course, the Japanese language of this anime is ultimately difficult. However, as there are many military jargon and characters with distinctive speech, the level of difficult words is the highest. Moreover, many of the difficult words in this work are not usually used. Therefore, if you learn Japanese in this work, it will be biased learning, so I would like those to study in other works first. If you haven't learned Japanese to the ultimate, forget about learning Japanese and just enjoy this anime. You can enjoy a very pure youth story despite handling the noisy tools of tanks.9898.59252 =151 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

All the characters are unique and their designs are wonderful. The wonderfulness of the world view needs no explanation. The shaft is not only for drawing, but also for the background. The theme song matches Hagawa, and the ED song is also good. The sound is wonderful throughout the series. Both the OP and ED are unique and match Tsubasa Hanekawa, and the production also has a shaft-like appearance. (Especially OP is excellent workmanship). You all know that it is a series and animation that makes learning Japanese ultimatedly difficult. Because of the variety of word games, unless you are proficient in Japanese including proverbs, you will not understand the contents. Anyway, the rate of occurrence of difficult words is very high, and if you do not understand it, you can not understand the story.8.598.589272 =68 terms / 4 episodes * 16th grade

As you might expect, a variety of military terms such as weapons ammunition, battles, and operations appear, and there are many terms and lines that are difficult for political relations in adult conversations. Of course, the honorific level is also very high, and not only simply adding “Desu” or “Masu” at the end of the word, but it is also necessary to distinguish honorific and humility.

This is because the game is the subject and there are many English words (as you know, the pronunciation of Japanese is strange). Perhaps because there are many junior high school students, the content and way of speaking is plain and easy to understand for the SF genre.

Speaking of non-human creatures is a way of speaking to God, with the highest level of honorific and difficult to understand. In particular, in this anime, the point of speaking to God and high-level honorifics is the point. Even Japanese people feel difficult, so it will be quite difficult for Japanese learners. Fortunately, all characters are very realistic. If you can notice the difference between speaking at the age of 14 and speaking at the age of 16, your Japanese language skills are undoubtedly ultimate level.10678.510260 =324 terms / 25 episodes * 20th grade

Professional criminals arrest criminals before committing a crime. This is a work in which the best scenario writer in Japan drew a story. We strongly appeal to us with its uniqueness and reality. The interestingness of the work is guaranteed. However, be careful from the perspective of learning Japanese. Criminal terms, political terms, and ideological terms appear frequently, and the characters are also adults and the age group is high, so the level of difficult words is ultimately high.9.5896.58262.4 =360 terms / 22 episodes * 16th grade

80158.43. Extreme3. N1+2012Sci-Fi/Fantasy24---Thinking of it as a magical fantasy action, a detective animation with a surprisingly elaborate story. It is an animation that can be recommended to viewers who value story because it can show unexpected development difficulty. The appearance of the character design is not so appealing, but it has a good character and internal design, so it plays a sufficient role as a function of spinning the story. In addition, the anime of the drawing and the background is extremely high, so you can watch it with confidence. OP songs and ED songs do not have much to be mentioned, but they have a unique atmosphere because they are unified in the music production of Hamlet etc. over the whole volume. It's a little-known work, but it's an anime that I would recommend to viewers seeking a story. In learning Japanese, there are more reasoning elements than magical fantasy elements, so the required vocabulary bases are different. In addition, there are many citations of Hamlet and Tempest, and there are also many characters with a high age group, so Japanese difficulty is above average. In any case, it is an anime recommended for Learners who understand Japanese to the extreme level.97978158.4 =236 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

The inside depiction and development are very well done, which is very interesting. The character design is normal, but the internal settings are well done and the cuteness from the inside is well expressed. The world view will be enjoyable if only SF elements such as personality changes are accepted. The line drawing is a little thick, but the movement is smooth and there is a sense of stability. It will be an interesting attempt for learning Japanese. Since the souls of the five people are exchanged, it is good to pay attention to the way that the way of talking changes with the appearance. Also, let's pay attention to the fact that each character's way of talking changes little by little as the story develops, while incorporating romance elements. It is very good for learning Japanese because it has many idioms that are often used in everyday life. Each character calls the family name or last name depending on the relationship with the opponent. This difference is very important in Japan. Although the difficult word appearance rate is not low, it is a good work that I highly recommend to intermediate who are confident in listening to modern Japanese.8.587.57.5869.6 =98 terms / 17 episodes * 12th grade

Because this anime is set in an art school, many artistic terms appear. However, because slang does not appear at all, the students can listen to Japanese without worries. The way each character speaks is common and very realistic, so Japanese listening is very easy. Since most of the characters are high school students, the term difficulty level is equivalent to High School, but you may find it a little difficult because there are words related to manga, anime, and voice actors. I recommend this anime to Learners who understand the basics of Japanese.9.5106.56.5751.6 =101 terms / 24 episodes * 12th grade

The obnoxious words that appear are ninja and fighting words, so you know them all in other manga and anime. I can tell you the approximate meaning by looking at the screen. Since there are letters in anime, it is easier for Beginner's Japanese learners to understand. The anime is easy for Japanese learners to understand because it makes the conversation more comedy by making it childish. It's meant for Basic judging, but it's a must-see for All Japanese learners.7868.5957.6 =62 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

The main character is a character from a young age of high school students, but there are some words for young people, but they don't use offensive slang, so you can watch it with ease. For Japanese learners, Vienna is the most familiar place because Vienna often asks questions when there are words they don't understand. It should be noted that the subtitle of each lesson is a parallel expression of "xxx たり" or "xxx たり". From the point of view of learning Japanese, it is necessary to understand that the Japanese used in this play is intended for teenagers. Of course, even adult Japanese, if they are close friends, sometimes have a conversation using Japanese like in this movie.878.56.5682.8 =89 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

The characters in this work are high school students. Therefore, many of the difficult words in this work are related to schools, such as "disciplinary committee" and "school cafeteria." Many of the other difficult words are in line with everyday life, such as "New Year's Eve" and "childhood friend." The main character speaks a little neutrally, but it can be emulated regardless of gender. The heroine, Rin, speaks bluntly and is not suitable for emulation.

In addition, otaku words such as "doujinshi" and "comike" also appear. In addition, words used in general life such as "hemi" are used, and idioms such as "stretch wings" are used.

69327. Beginner7. N5-N42012Comedy, Romance13---A maniac story that makes each other's thoughts through saliva. However, the story is well made and is established as a boy / girl love story. The character design has no appeal, but there are also sexy scenes, so there is plenty of fun to watch. Surprisingly, the drawing and the background guarantee good quality. In addition, the sound production that makes use of the individual settings is very individual, highlighting the mysterious charm of the heroine. Although it is an anime with a rather maniac taste (propensity?), It is a recommended work for viewers who want originality. The answer is YES when it comes to learning Japanese. Contrary to the maniac setting, the difficulty level of Japanese difficult words is low and the frequency of occurrence of difficult words is low. It is composed of very simple words, so even beginners can learn Japanese with this anime.7676.5832 =52 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

The worldview needs to be understood with some flexibility (needs the degree to allow fairly unrealistic settings). Both drawing and background have a high sense of stability, especially the background is very beautiful. The advantage of learning Japanese with this anime is that everyday conversation is mostly student terms and school terms, so there is no difficult content. There is no slang or student language. All the heroines are very easy to hear because they speak normally. There is no exaggerated way of speaking that is peculiar to anime. Although the level of difficulty is not high, you may not understand the detailed expressions because the rate of occurrence of difficult words is high. Even Learners who understand the basics of Japanese can learn Japanese with this anime if they are confident in listening.5.577.56.5756.8 =92 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

This work tells a story about the hero's past. Since that era was around 1853 to 1869, historical words such as "Shinsengumi" and "Kunoichi" are sometimes found. There are many words related to swordsmanship. For example, "Tachi muscle" and "Mental body". Therefore, the difficult language level is the highest. And the difficult word appearance rate is impossibly high. Therefore, only native Japanese people can watch this work without subtitles.

Many of the conversations are childish for a second-year high school student. Also, there are many variations in the words that appear, and there are many terms that are not familiar to Japanese learners. What I want to say is that learning Japanese in this anime is inappropriate. But I'll add that it's an interesting anime. Therefore, it can be said that the work is difficult to use as a teaching material unless the learner is advanced. And if you're using it for learning, look at how fast male high school students are speaking and what they're saying.6557774.4 =74 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The story, world view, characters, animation, background drawings, music, sound, originality, and OP / ED production are all at the highest level. It's not my desire to spoil the splendor of this anime with my poor description. Anyway, watch this artistic finish of the anime. As a Japanese analysis, this anime is at an intermediate level, there are classic terms such as “御霊火" (Mitamabi, Holy Fire) and “巴日” (Tomoebi, Hatsubi), so even Japanese people feel somewhat difficult. Students' daily conversation is not difficult, but I don't want to emulate this because the main character, Hikari, speaks in youth language. Other characters speak realistically appropriate for the year, so their way of speaking is good for emulating practice. There are a few difficult terms for traditional events and legends. But more than that, there are a lot of terms related to the sea, because the sea is the stage. In addition, adult lines will have high-level honorifics and difficult dialects, so you will find it difficult to listen to Japanese.9.5101010973.2 =158 terms / 26 episodes * 12th grade

The story composition with a gradual effect that feels the chilliness of the spine and the warmth of friendship is excellent. The Japanese level is difficult to reach the Extreme level, so I hope you enjoy watching it purely as an anime. This is one of my favorite animes so I highly recommend it.10999.59166.4 =249 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

Since the whole volume is produced in 3D, you can enjoy the super high quality drawing and the battle scene. In addition, the OP song is very catchy and full of dash, and the music during the battle is magnificent. It's a model of the fleet of the former Japanese army, so it may not be familiar to foreigners, but it is a very popular work for Japanese who like military. As a result of analyzing the Japanese language of this anime, it is known that many military terms and weapon names appear, and that there are many narratives and political topics unique to the Navy. The difficulty level of Japanese is ultimately high that you should watch it not for learning Japanese but for the purpose of enjoying anime.9101098254 =152 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

Anyway, the rate of occurrence of difficult words is very high, and the story cannot be understood without understanding it. This is a series that even Japanese people find difficult to understand. It is impossible for foreigners to learn Japanese with this anime, but it is a very wonderful series of anime, so it is recommended that you watch it with English subtitles.98889380 =95 terms / 5 episodes * 20th grade

Also the everyday part and comedy music are very good. One of the impressions is that, while there are similar works, the fact that reality and S / F realism are fused at a high level is missing. From the perspective of learning Japanese, the point is that all characters speak real Japanese and the honorific level is very high. Although the rate of difficult words is high, surprisingly there are many everyday terms rather than S / F terms, especially social terms such as health insurance. Therefore, it is an anime that I can't recommend to all Japanese learner (It is important to note that difficult words in Japanese are classified into the most difficult categories).8.598.588312 =253 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

80606. Basic6. N4-N32013Drama13---The words that come out are not all difficult, so it is a very learned content. Also, the way the character speaks is very stable. It is suitable for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese because it has a lot of silent psychological depictions, so it has a good reading ability and there are few things to learn. Since the theme of this work is swimming, the words "swimming", "distance", and other swimming words appear, but they are few. Rather, Gou likes muscles, so the name muscle appears more often. In addition, some words related to school and club activities such as "prefectural convention" and "study abroad" appear. There are some words that are modern flanks of idioms. Also, many words used in ordinary life such as "insert" and "homecoming" appear. The conversation is all about swimming, but since there are many friendships through swimming, you'll be sympathized with it.8897860 =64 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

In addition, there are many coined words unique to the work. In addition, there are many honorifics of the highest level. In addition, idioms and proverbs also appear. Female characters often speak in a strong male tone. In short, the difficult language level of this work is the most difficult. The extremely unique design, drawing, and world view confuse viewers, but surprisingly, the story development is excellent.

7747. Beginner7. N5-N42013Comedy12---A work depicting the life of students going to Asahigaoka Bunko, set in a countryside in Japan. Some characters speak in a unique language while some others speak in a dialect, making viewers notice the ways Japanese language could transform. Characters mainly communicate in a calm and ordinary way. Some conversations do make viewers see the difference between cities and countryside. People from the countryside must be familiar with scenes such as not locking the doors and buses come once every 2 hours. People from cities might be surprised by these facts. Perfect for learning the fascinating Japanese culture. Level of Japanese used is low and there is not too much difference from real-world conversations, so it is recommended for beginners. At least 90% of the conversations are in easy Japanese, without difficult terms or slangs. Some characters do add strange expressions to sentences, but that's not all the characters, and only a few formal languages come out without any comedic aspect, so it is recommended for Japanese listening practice. I strongly recommend this anime for Beginners learning Japanese.8.587784 =5 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

It is interesting to note that there are many character names related to mochi(rice cake). There are many conversations between high school students and daily conversation with people in shopping streets. There are Japanese greetings and customs that differ in seasons, which helps you to learn more about Japanese language and culture. There are many scenes you will understand four seasons of Japan, which makes you feel like you are studying abroad in Japan. Since Tamako speaks a typical way of speaking as high school girl, it would be helpful to learn the young ladies Japanese. Although the difficulty level is not high, Dera sometimes uses bait difficult words. His cheesy lines that are out of place is one of the attractive points, which need subtitles to understand the meaning of it.887.56876.8 =76 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Japanese used in a casual conversation between friends appear in this Anime.

In this anime, dialects appear, but the content of the conversation is daily. It's interesting to see how different characters think about dialects. In particular, the conversation between Haruto and Asuka in the first episode gives you an impression of the dialect in Tokyo.

Therefore, many words related to the work of the ward office such as "Certification of Nursing Care" and "Family Register and Residents Division" appear in the difficult words of this work. Also, since the characters in this work are newcomers, they are still in the mood for students. Therefore, younger's words such as "charai" and "slapstick" are sometimes found. On the other hand, the characters basically use honorifics at work. Moreover, it is a very advanced honorific used at work. From the above, this work is recommended for Advanced learners of Japanese. I would like Japanese learners who want to work in Japan to study honorifics with this work. As you know, honorifics in Japanese are very difficult, but when you actually work in Japan, you need to master the same level of honorifics as they do.8.586.55.57123.2 =100 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

"Public committee" and "love letter". And the main character, Eita Kidou, was Chuni-byou in middle school. Therefore, there are some words that are reminiscent of Chuni-byou, such as "Makai" and "Seal". Therefore, the difficult word level of this work is very high, and the difficult word appearance rate is also high. The work itself is not very interesting, and it is not an anime that I can recommend for learning Japanese.

The elements of laughter are included as a romantic comedy, and spices are added to the love story, which is not bad. However, I personally do not like this anime. This is because there are many places where story development is difficult. From the perspective of learning Japanese, most of the lines are college students, so the terms are fairly realistic. Young people's words also appear moderately, but they are also frequently used, so they are good for listening practice.6.577.56699.6 =199 terms / 24 episodes * 12th grade

His life changes as he joins the "service department." Many of the difficult words in this work are school-related words and younger's words. The level of difficult words in this work is about high school students, but since this work is a comedy, the appearance rate of difficult words is high and there are many lines, so only advanced Japanese learners will understand it without subtitles. Learners who understand Japanese to the extreme level should be aware that the main character speaks normally, but speaks loosely. He hasn't built relationships for many years, so he has a habit of speaking like a soliloquy. Such a way of speaking is not very welcome. Some fans in Japan enthusiastically love the work in this series, but I don't.7.576.55.57208.8 =208 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The stage of this work is mainly school. Youth language and a wide variety of terms appear, but difficult words do not. Therefore, the difficult language of this work is at the junior high school level. Kyouya Sinomiya uses honorifics for his seniors. He is able to use different words, such as using broken words for his peers in the same grade. A male learner of Japanese can practice well by emulating his way of speaking. On the other hand, female Mao Amatuka uses rough men's language, so female learners of Japanese should not emulate it. The anime is a little quirky for learning Japanese, so anyone who is an intermediate level or above can watch it.

Therefore, many terms of love appear in conversation. However, the main reason for the difficulty of using the Japanese language in this anime is that the main character frequently uses idioms and young people's words that are peculiar to the Japanese language. In particular, most of the difficult words are idioms, and Japanese learners will find them more difficult than the numbers. I would like to recommend the study of Japanese in this anime to students of Advanced and above. Also, because of the appearance of voiceless texts such as notes and letters, the language ability of Reading in Japanese is required.9.5109.58.59130.8 =217 terms / 20 episodes * 12th grade

There are also many technical terms such as mechanics / military operations, weapons, classes, orders, etc. In addition, the story is likely to contain political elements and the content is also difficult to understand, making it much more difficult to understand the context than the terminology.

There are no drawings and background pictures with a quality higher than this one. The battle scene is a high-quality moving animation. The background image is as powerful as it is, and the level is high enough to be mistaken for a photograph. Both the theme song and ED song from the first half of the year are very good because they match the world view well. It's inconspicuous, but the sound is quite good with movie-like music. Anyway, the fact that there are many productions of Egui bloody is a positive evaluation personally. Oh, Japanese difficulty? Of course, it's impossible to learn Japanese. You should avoid learning Japanese with this anime.8.59108.58294 =382 terms / 26 episodes * 20th grade

They also involve other classmates to establish a club called "Far East Magic Nap Association". Many S / F terms and coined words based on Chuni-byou appear in this work. These are difficult for native Japanese to understand. Therefore, it is difficult for even advanced learners of Japanese to watch this work without subtitles. In particular, the heroine Rikka Takanasi is not suitable for listening or emulating because she always speaks in a Chuni-byou style. However, all the female characters are unique and cute, and the drawing is done by Kyo-Ani, who boasts the highest level of quality, so I recommend that you enjoy it purely as an anime work.89889380 =228 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

The main character of this work is Kobeni Yonomori, a 16-year-old high school girl who lives with her mother and sister. She suddenly lives with her fiancé Hakuya Mitumine and her sister Mashiro. In this work, many school-related words such as "skipping grade" and "additional exam" are used. Also, since this work is a comedy, there are some otaku terms such as "romantic comedy," "sister complex," and "doya face." The difficult word level of this work is very high, but the difficult word appearance rate is surprisingly low. Kobeni Yonomori's way of speaking changes depending on her partner. She speaks very polite honorifics to her sister and her mother, but she speaks unisex to others. On the other hand, her sister Benio Yonomori uses kinky geeky terms for her sister, but when she's at school she speaks polite honorifics. From the point of view of learning Japanese, only intermediate level students and above will be able to learn Japanese with this anime. However, anyway, the main character Kobeni Yonomori is very very very cute, it is also very interesting as a romantic comedy, and the OP songs and ED songs also have unique and catchy melodies....

In particular, Enju has an old-fashioned way of speaking, unlike the appearance. Just in case, let me give you a conclusion.

The main character Angela is also cute, and the design is too erotic, so it's very good. I feel awkward with voice actor Kugimiya, but this is probably the result of easy-to-understand casting of the tsundere element. The animation drawing and battle music of the mechanic robo action is a terrific production, and it gives you a sense of realism. The theme song is also a song with a sense, and it is finished as a well-balanced and complete work as a whole. Don't be shy about Angela's bold clothes.

Although it is not well received overseas, it is a very popular series in Japan.

The difficulty level of Japanese in the Love Live series tends to be low, so I would like to recommend this work for Learners who understand the basics of Japanese.8798745.6 =73 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

7637.66. Basic6. N4-N32014Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Anyway, the inside of the character is complicated. It's a spoiler, so it's difficult to explain, but it's very difficult to tell which character is which character. However, this is also the essence of the story, so it is necessary to understand and watch it well. The story is interesting because it is complicated. The mystery = setting in the previous work is revealed, so it ends cleanly, but it is up to each person whether they feel that setting is interesting. The sound and sound are still excellent, and the OP, ED, and inserted songs have a dark atmosphere and are particularly creepy. It's been a while since I frozen my spine. The battle drawing is very well done and there is almost no discomfort with everyday scenes. There is a lot of power in the production of the world view of the background of the card battle and the background of the spiritual world. A work with a low degree of publicity, but a high degree of completion. I highly recommend it. From the perspective of learning Japanese, technical terms for card games come out, but they are easy to understand because they are katakana (though Japanese pronunciation is strange). It is very easy to listen because it is composed in very plain Japanese. The story itself can be understood by looking at the picture, so it is also suitable for Japanese listening practice. This is a great piece that I would recommend to Learners who understand the basics of Japanese.9777837.6 =56 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

It's a story of them going to another world and capturing various games. When you hear this much, you may think that it is a mundane and boring work. However, the tremendous storyline and the creation of the world view are wonderful, and there is no doubt that you will be absorbed in this work. From the perspective of learning Japanese, there are many words related to games and games because the story is about the main characters playing games. For example, "first move" and "losing". Other difficult words are bad words and fantasy terms such as "summon" and "technique". In addition, since there are many conversations with strong comedy elements, the level of difficult words is very high, and the appearance rate of difficult words is also very high. This work is not suitable for learning Japanese, but I would like to add that it is very interesting as an anime.9787.57198 =198 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The recommended learner is Intermediate, but you can also watch it on Elementary, which aims to be better. Also, for the Japanese, it is a very funny comedy, so if you can laugh with this film, you can say that you have acquired a lot of Japanese language and sense of Japan.7.5788.5887.6 =87 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Compared to S/F, there are few difficult words, and words used in daily life account for half. Also, since the stage is for students and schools, there are many school terms. Most of the terms in the story can be understood by junior high school students, but since there are several adults in the characters, please recognize the Difficulty Level of terms and speech as a high school student level. However, the Difficulty Level of terminology alone is not high, so it is possible to understand the contents in Japanese if you prepare. So if you are a learner of Intermediate's Japanese, you may be surprised to know that you can learn from this anime.5.5988984.8 =68 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

Because of this, the terms are simple and the contents of the conversation are simple, making the anime very easy to learn Japanese. Especially, there are many conversations about food. Perhaps because the characters work at Cafe, we often hear words and conversations associated with the menus of each restaurant.

Even beginners are able to use this for their listening training. I would also like you to learn how they choose to use different tones of language according to whom they are talking to.

Because of the composition of the story, you can listen to the same lines many times, which is good for Japanese listening practice. It is recommendable to learners who understand the basics of Japanese.

The difficult terms occurrence rate is also very low: 3.5 terms/episode, and the difficulty level of terms and conversation is also very low: 8th grade. Scenes where honorifics that Japanese learners are not good at are also limited.

In addition, the stage of this work is an island in the countryside called Goto. Therefore, the islanders use a fairly strong dialect. Even Japanese people don't understand the dialect they use (Japanese subtitles are displayed for Japanese people!). The key visual of this work seems to be easy in Japanese, but it will be difficult to watch without subtitles unless you have the ability of advanced level or higher.765.55.56105.6 =79 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

Therefore, unless you understand the words of a wind instrument or club, you cannot enjoy this work. However, the genre of difficult words is fixed, so it will be easy to prepare for Japanese. However, the words of the brass band club are not common words. For this reason, we recommend Intermediate learners.

The difficult words in this work are very high level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is also high. It is nonsense to use this anime for learning Japanese.

7293.65. Intermediate5. N3-N22015Slice of life12---This work is a Slice of Life anime that describes everyday life in a coffee shop where the main character works. Because of that genre, various terms come up. "Club activities," "handling fish," "platoon," etc. The difficult words in this work are at the junior high school level, as they are words that are used on a daily basis except for some military terms. The appearance rate of difficult words is also low. Rize's parents use men's for military personnel, but Chino speaks simple honorifics to everyone, and Chiya uses women's, so they're recommended for both emulation and listening. As you know, this is an anime where cute girls just do cute things, and there is no difficult story. Even beginner Japanese learners will be able to understand without subtitles.776.57.5893.6 =93 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

However, because of the battle anime, there are many battle terms, and there are also idioms and difficult terms that are unique to Japanese. The work itself is not very interesting.6687.56150 =150 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

661564. Advanced4. N2-N12015Comedy, Slice of life14---This work is the third work of "Working !!". This work is a story about a hero who works part-time at a family restaurant and meets various people. Since the basic line of this work is comedy, various difficult words come out. Not only idioms but also younger's words such as "hetare" appear. Difficult words are at the high school level, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Basically, it will be an animation for advanced Japanese learners. However, the characters in this work have different ways of speaking depending on the other party. Souta Takanashi, for example, speaks to her senior Popura Taneshima in high-level honorifics, but to her junior Aoi Yamada in a blunt, masculine way. This difference in speaking style is so real that it will be a great reference for Japanese learners.76668156 =182 terms / 14 episodes * 12th grade

66127.24. Advanced4. N2-N12015Comedy, Romance12---This work is a sequel to "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected". The main character is a high school boy with a twisted personality. A romantic comedy depicts an incident between him and the women around him. He often uses words with twisted meanings such as "sophism" and "deception." The difficult words in this work are at the high school level, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high because the number of lines is very large. It may be a good anime to get to know Japan because it depicts the sensibilities of Japanese students, for better or for worse. In fact, some Japanese fans enthusiastically love this piece (though I don't like this)876.55.56127.2 =127 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

If it is understood, the conversation is easy to understand because it is simple, but it is not suitable for learning because the words are not consistent. There are many words used mainly in daily life, so if you know it, it is very useful not only for watching this anime but also for learning Japanese. That's why Elemental wants to take it to the next level, even though it's Intermediate. The prevalence of difficult words is not high, so you can watch anime and learn Japanese by preparing.6.565.55654 =53 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The characters in this work are high school students. Since the stage is a school, there are many school-related words such as "advancement" and "mock exam". In addition, since this work is set in the brass band club, there are many words related to club activities such as "morning training" and "homecoming club". Difficult words are at the high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. The way the characters speak is also normal. They are very realistic because they speak differently depending on whether they are older or younger. From the perspective of learning Japanese, especially honorifics, this work is highly recommended for intermediate learners of Japanese.10109.58884 =91 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

Surprisingly, he only has a lot of vocabulary so he has a lot of difficult words. Since the work genre is fantasy, specific terms appear but not many. However, it will be an obstacle to learning Japanese. Individual characters will not be heard because they speak differently from the present day.

However, many words and terms that appear during conversation are not used today. If you like Japanese historical drama, this is a familiar word. There are not many technical terms related to Kabaneri. From the perspective of learning Japanese, it is not a study in the first place.

881044. Advanced4. N2-N12016Drama, Horror/Suspence, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---It's like a compilation of the series. There was a slight change in the character design, and the cuteness of the women was suppressed. The world view through the series is wonderful. However, the shaft-likeness of the production is not noticeable. Is it because the drawing ability improved a little? As usual, the level of sound and BGM is high, and the work with high originality and very unique sound is further strengthened. ED has a unique expressive power, is very individual and wonderful. As a result of Japanese analysis, word play has been restored in the series for the first time in a long time, and you can hear various ways of speaking again. Although the difficult word appearance rate is low in the series, the difficult word level is still high. The numerical evaluation of the Japanese difficulty level of this anime is at the intermediate level, but it goes without saying that learning Japanese is difficult with the Monogatari series.8.5998.59104 =77 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

86885. Intermediate5. N3-N22016Slice of life, Drama12---This anime is set in a game developing company. Aoba, who is a newcomer, and her superior called Rin talks appropriately as a working member of society. Almost all of its characters speak so correctly that they can fit in the real world. Therefore, I would like to recommend this anime to all Japanese learners. Since the story takes place in the game company called "イーグルジャンプ" (Eagle Jump) and the age demographics of the company is young, the relationship between employees is casual, and they have an atmosphere that they feel free to talk to each other. It is realistic for the characters to talk like this because recent IT and game industries are oriented towards younger people. (You should know that workers, who belong to more traditional companies such as auto manufactures, electric companies and trading companies, tend to speak more formally).9107.58.5888 =65 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

The background of this work is a world suffering from discrimination and poverty. This work depicts how to change this world, including the battle of Gundam controlled by the main character. Therefore, the Japanese used in this work is very difficult. In this work, there are some words that even Japanese people in their twenties may not know the meaning of. Moreover, in this work, the way of speaking used by military personnel is often used, which is far from the real way of speaking of modern Japanese people. Therefore, this work will be difficult even for advanced Japanese learners. I recommend that you watch this work for the purpose of enjoying anime.9.5797.58225.6 =351 terms / 25 episodes * 16th grade

This work is a suspense anime. Therefore, there are many case and criminal terms in the difficult words of this work. For example, "kidnapper" and "convict on death row". Therefore, the difficult word level of this work is very high, and the difficult word appearance rate is also high. Since the story develops quickly, it is strongly recommended to forget about learning Japanese and enjoy it purely as an anime work with subtitles.1077.579163.2 =122 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

The title: three leaves three colours is based on an idiom "Sansha-sanyo", meaning everyone is unique. Every character has its own way of speaking, so it is easy to see who is speaking just by looking at a random line. Normal conversations are central, but since the speed is fast it might be difficult to listen to.

The protagonists aim to become blue mermaids, a profession responsible for maritime security and defense. They enroll in a Blue Mermaid training school and grow while maneuvering warships. Most of the difficult words in this work are naval and military terms. Therefore, the difficult language level is extremely difficult at the military expert level. This is because military jargon that even Japanese people do not generally know often appears. Moreover, this work has a high appearance rate of difficult words. It is very difficult to learn Japanese with this anime. However, this anime has achieved very good quality in all aspects of story, worldview, character, music, drawing and background. Therefore, please watch this anime for the purpose of pure enjoyment. I highly appreciate this anime and it is my favorite work.7.5898.58218 =130 terms / 12 episodes * 20th grade

It's wonderful that the exchange of life is seriously depicted without any flashiness. The distinctive watercolor-like drawing is characteristic, and the drawing itself has a high level and moves smoothly. As for learning Japanese, fantasy terms are few, but conversely there are many youth words and idioms. Since it is a work that deals with serious subjects, it is a good animation that I highly recommend to intermediate-level learners of Japanese.8.5878.5892.4 =92 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The way of drawing each individuality is not bad. The view of the world is easy to understand with a common setting. The drawing is quite beautiful and the movement is stable, and the line drawing is thin, so it is very beautiful. The sound is very good and the serious part is especially good. As for learning Japanese, the terms tend to be difficult because the conversation content is an action anime about a magical girl. The way each character speaks varies, but they do it in a realistic way. It has a good honorific tone, you can listen to a wide variety of ways of speaking, such as masculine way of speaking, youth language, and listening with a wide variety of ways of speaking. However, the development is unfolding, so it is hard to recommend learning Japanese with this anime. You can understand the reason by watching it (preventing spoilers)688.57860 =60 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

724061. Impossible1. N1+++2016Drama13---It is a drama work with a good story based on rakugo. Rakugo, historical background, and way of speaking are reproduced very realistically. In addition, I am deeply moved by the fierce life story of the two main characters. The relationship between the characters that becomes apparent in Episode 10, the story that is inherited by the disciples and passed down to the children, and the way they are shown is amazing. It is an impressive development that makes people feel tears in their half-life and remorse. Although the background is partly simplified, the main drawing is very stable and does not interfere with viewing. The music is not particularly noteworthy, but the sound effect is a good representation of Rakugo and its era, and plays a part in the composition of the world view. A rare work in which you can enjoy extremely realistic Rakugo in anime. Of course, since the Japanese level is extremely high, it is unnecessary to explain that it is not suitable for learning Japanese. However, I hope you will enjoy the Japanese culture called rakugo and the excellent story about it.9.576.567406 =263 terms / 13 episodes * 20th grade

Among them, the "To Aru Kagaku" series has a strong dark fantasy element and is very popular. The stage of this work is a town where all students are conducting psychic development experiments. The main character, Mikoto Misaka, has a higher level of supernatural powers. She uses her supernatural powers to solve various incidents that occur in the town. In this work, original words, criminal terms such as "bomber demon" and "discovery" and police terms are often used. In addition, some people use high-level honorifics, and there are many proverbs and idioms. Therefore, the difficult language level of this work is very high. While Mikoto Misaka speaks realistically as a junior high school student, Kuroko Shirai speaks a young lady and uses extremely high levels of honorifics. Needless to say, the Japanese level of this work is for super advanced players. Although it is not highly evaluated overseas, it is one of my favorite works, so I highly recommend it to people who like dark fantasy.88668123.2 =92 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

Since the atmosphere of the anime is kind and calm, the conversations you hear in it make peaceful impressions in daily conversations. Since the difficult terms contain dialect and local terms, this anime is at about a high school level.

The figure term is katakana, so it remains in English. This is a good subject to learn the strange pronunciation of Japanese people. On the other hand, there are many words used in daily life such as "homecoming" and "body fat" in this work. The level of difficult words is about high school students, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. The way all characters speak is also normal. Especially the way the announcer speaks in the live game is wonderful. This work is a good anime to learn very real Japanese.

After all, it is an opportunistic development. There are no parts where I feel cluttered by looking at the drawing and background images at a fairly high level. However, the production is flat or monotonous. The character is cute, but not very individual. The sound is good. The production of horror is well done. It's pretty scary. There are many adult conversations, so Japanese is very difficult. The difficulty of a single term related to the essence of the story is high.5.57866201.6 =201 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

In addition, each character has a problem appropriate for each year. In particular, the problems of human relationships that are common in adolescence are depicted realistically. The main character is 17 years old, but he is a professional shogi player. Therefore, the terminology of shogi is diverse in this work. The difficult language level of this work is very high. However, to tell the truth, there are few scenes in which this work is playing shogi.

Most of the conversations are about school, and there are many worries and doubts that teens often have. Therefore, Japanese learners of high school level will be sympathetic to them. And for Japanese learners of the same age as the protagonist, there will surely be something noticed. Also, since the protagonist is actually a working person, there are conversations about work.

The hero who reincarnated as a little girl joins the war while using the talent of magic. There are so many military and political terms in this work. "Loans," "urgent," and "trends" are words that are not used in everyday conversation. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are very difficult at the expert level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high.

I'm looking at the tentative completion of the series (but continue). The character design has the impression that the cuteness of the women is somewhat suppressed. The world view through the series is wonderful, and this work corresponds to the closing, and the series composition is well planned. The number of unique productions has increased, and the character of the shaft has returned significantly. The sound is particularly wonderful in the scene where you can see the stable world view, originality, and Ougi's identity throughout the series. I would like to pay attention to the fact that the word analysis appears in places in Japanese analysis results. Also, since the content of the story is more difficult than the conversation content, it will be quite difficult for an intermediate person to understand the story in Japanese. I want you to enjoy this anime purely with English subtitles.9.589810176 =77 terms / 7 episodes * 16th grade

It's a very popular anime both in Japan and abroad, so you don't need to explain the synopsis. Since this work is a dark fantasy in which humans fight against giants, many noisy words such as "attack" and "murderer" are used. There are also simple medical terms such as "stunning" and "severe". Difficult language level is very difficult. For reference, both Zoe Hange and Eren Yeager speak in common men's.

The difficult words in this work are at the high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. Also, the main character, Aoba Suzukaze, uses very correct honorifics. Her Japanese is suitable for both emulation and listening. In addition, business terms appear in this work. Japanese learners who want to work in Japan should refer to this work as a good idea.

Although it is not generally evaluated highly, it is a very complete animation, so I highly evaluate it. This work is a unique work that develops a battle while focusing on the profession of creator. Style is action and metafiction. In addition, the Japanese government will also appear because anime characters will battle in the real world. Therefore, conceptual terms and political terms frequently appear. The difficult language level of this work is the level of working people and specific experts. The appearance rate of difficult words is high, as some characters prefer old-fashioned speaking styles. This work is not suitable for Japanese learners. However, since this work is very interesting, we recommend that you enjoy it with subtitles.

83426. Basic6. N4-N32017Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---It is a story of human-shaped jewels. The fact that the jewels do not have sex is a point when learning Japanese. Many characters talks in the boy’s tone, however, there are characters who talk in the girl’s tone, such as the diamond. Since the jewels have no gender but have very unique characteristics, they talk according to their personalities. Not only by their appearance, but also by listening how they talk, you can understand whether each jewel has boyish or girly personalities, or whether they are childish or mature. Therefore, it is a very good training to use this Anime for Japanese listening practice.8.599.56.5842 =42 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

8456.46. Basic6. N4-N32017Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy24---This story is a fantasy anime that begins when an unhappy girl is sold to Eriasu at an auction. Eriasu is a strange wizard, not a human. The characters in this work speak more slowly than in other works. Therefore, this work is suitable for listening to Japanese learners. The heroine doesn't speak much, but basically uses honorifics. Eriasu also speaks politely, which makes it suitable for emulation. The difficult words in this work have fantasy elements such as "familiar" and "mystery", but most of them are often used in daily life. Therefore, the difficult word level of this work is high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is also low. This work is recommended for beginner Japanese learners. The drawing and background are very nice, and the world view and story are for adults. Definitely a good work.9.578.58956.4 =111 terms / 24 episodes * 12th grade

8144.46. Basic6. N4-N32017Drama13---There are fewer terms for idol activity than in the first term. However, there are many idioms, but it is easy to use everyday, so let's remember. The character's way of talking is also characterized by Yoshiko, Hanamaru, and Dia, but it's a good work to listen to because the difference from normal is easy to understand. It is suitable for learning because the conversation content is plain and easy to understand. Since Yoshiko is a secondary illness, many words that are not normally used such as "fallen angel" and "summoning" are used. Also, while there are youthful words, many idioms such as "shoulder" and "feel good" are used. Conversation content is more intertwined between 3rd and 1st year students than in the 1st term. Therefore, the second term is that the honorifics have been completely eliminated. Even in junior high school students, there is not much in Japan that they do not use honorifics. Since it can happen only when you are on good terms, it is better to use honorifics. Finally, the story of this work is in Numazu, Japan. Students who are interested in the area of Japan are encouraged to take a look because the tourist spots and the beautiful sea are drawn so realistically.7.57108844.4 =48 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

8058.86. Basic6. N4-N32017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---First of all, since this work is a fantasy, there are many words specific to the work, so it is difficult to understand. Besides, Regu uses old Japanese. These are not the words that we use every day, so I would recommend them to learners who have completed basic learning. Since this work is a complete fantasy animation, many terminology specific to the work is used. It comes out many times, so it's not impossible to remember. Also, Regu speaks a little difficult. Some old wording is also used. A simple idiom also appears, but most of the conversation is supposed to be in the main theme of the work, "Abyss", so it is not a daily conversation.9.5786.5958.8 =63 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

81164.83. Extreme3. N1+2017Comedy13---This work is a fantasy comedy. The story begins when Kobayashi helps the dragon Tohru. The main character, Kobayashi, is a woman, but she uses neutral words. Besides, she sometimes uses men's language. There are many such women in Japan, so they are real. However, if you want to emulate her, make sure you understand this difference. Tohru uses women's and honorifics, making it suitable for both listening and emulating. This work has a strong element of everyday life, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high, and the level of difficult words is also very high. There are geek terms, idioms, and work terms. Therefore, this work is recommended for advanced learners of Japanese. I love this anime, and when I heard the announcement of the second season, I cried for the resurrection of Kyoto Animation. Good luck, Kyoto Animation.8.586.58.59164.8 =133 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

8051.66. Basic6. N4-N32017Slice of life, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Compared to other anime, there are very few characters introduced. And the conversation between Chito and Yuri is the main plot point. Because they both speak at a slow speed, it is very easy to understand. A few technical military terms appear, but since most of the conversation consists of plain terms, I would like to recommend it to elementary level Japanese learners. As the difficulty in conversation about the world view increases in the second half, it is very comprehensive and elementary level at best, but for beginners of the Japanese language, I would recommend you to try and challenge for yourself.977.58.5851.6 =51 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

77211.23. Extreme3. N1+2017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Contrary to the cute character design, the story and the world view are real spy movies. Although it has a structure that is close to the one episode, chapter numbers are randomly arranged, so the way the episodes are displayed has been devised, which is very interesting. The drawing is very stable, including the action scenes, and the background, decoration, and clothes are reproduced in British style. It has a great effect as an action, and the story is very interesting because it is deeply designed with spy elements and humanity. I definitely want to watch the sequel movie animation. Needless to say, Japanese is very difficult.9886.57211.2 =158 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

77116.44. Advanced4. N2-N12017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy,12---A simple story composed of two episodes in one episode. It's a little boring, but not so bad as deducting points. The characters are cute Frame Arms Girl and the main character is cute. This is a work that admires the cuteness of characters. The setting is very expressive of the Kotobukiya personality. The drawing level during the 3D battle is extremely high. There is no sense of incompatibility with 2D everyday scenes. The operation sound of the machine is very good, and the normal sound is quite comfortable. The OP has a great movement and is very good, and the ED has a good sense and is a good-looking animation. In learning Japanese, there are many difficult words associated with laughter, so it is not difficult if you ignore the dialogue about laughter.788.578116.4 =116 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7750.46. Basic6. N4-N32017Romance12---This work is a love story. The stage is Kawagoe, a city that prospered as a castle town, and the buildings of that time still remain today. Learners who like Japanese culture will enjoy this work. This work also gives a glimpse of everyday life, such as Japanese school life and parental transfers. There are many difficult words related to schools such as "athletic festival" and "school of choice". Next to that, there are many younger's words related to romance, such as "Ichatsuku" and "Kokuru". Since the characters are junior high school students, the difficult word level of this work is junior high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is not high. Also, since the main character and the heroine speak normally, they are suitable for both listening and emulating. In particular, the heroine has few words, and her way of speaking is very real. In the past, Japan had an indescribable aesthetic. The title of this work also has a meaning that is not exactly what it says, so Japanese learners should check it out. This is an idea unique to Japanese people who value emotions and line spacing. From the above, this work is recommended for beginner Japanese learners.9.587.57.5650.4 =75 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

A formal and with a sense of distance and the way they talk to each other at school, and a friendly more light way of speaking to each other outside of school. You can learn one of the characteristics of Japanese that one can adjust a sense of distance with others by changing the way of speaking. If you like romance anime, use this opportunity and learn those terms. You will be able to enjoy other romance anime more easily.8.5778754 =53 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

N2-N12017Drama12---The conversation content of this anime is mostly about mystery solving and strategy elements, and since there are many young people's words, the variations in terms and vocabulary that appear are very large. The characters have a relatively realistic way of speaking, but various types of difficult words appear in anime in which it is difficult to specify the genre of the term. It is difficult for even Japanese learners of Advanced and above to learn Japanese with this anime.6.58877139.2 =139 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7374.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22017Comedy12---This anime is about a main character who works at a concept cafe "Stile" and lives her daily life while working part-time. Note that each character has a different personality and way of talking in daily life and customer service. Also, since the way female characters speak changes greatly between the time of serving customers and the time of daily work, listening requires a prerequisite knowledge of the "Attributes" character, which is the concept of the work. In general, the Japanese level of comedy films varies widely, but the Japanese level of this anime is rather high. Therefore, I would like to recommend this anime to intermediate Japanese learners.6.5958874.4 =74 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7182.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22017Comedy12---This is a comedy animation about angels and demons training in the human world, but it basically describes the daily lives of high school students. Therefore, although the conversation is simple and easy, there are a few kinds of words used. It is a good idea to practice listening, being aware that RPG-related game terms and religious terms will appear. However, as it is a comedy, various words come out and topics are often discussed, so you won't be able to enjoy it unless you can understand the words. For this reason, I would like Japanese learners who are making progress in studying vocabulary in Intermediate to try this anime.7777.5782.8 =82 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

72142.44. Advanced4. N2-N12017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---It's a story about a hero who is the only survivor of humans in a decadent world where humans have perished, encountering fairy weapons in the work of military weapons management. The world view seems to be very interesting, but it is a pity that the story does not make full use of it. However, the OP song is absolutely wonderful. Only this music is a must listen. Now, let's talk about Japanese analysis of this anime. Many of the difficult words in this work are military terms. For example, "military uniform" and "commander". And since this work is fantasy, there are many coined words unique to the work. Therefore, the difficult words of this work are difficult to the highest level. The main character, Willem Kmetsch, usually speaks normally, but uses advanced honorifics for his superiors. Rhantolk Ytri Historia uses women's language and speaks politely. Besides, she uses advanced honorifics. However, the honorifics they speak are not used in everyday conversation. It is an extremely difficult honorific used by military personnel. Therefore, it is not recommended to study Japanese with this work. Let's enjoy anime purely with subtitles (listen to the OP song anyway!)6.5777.58142.4 =106 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

7148.86. Basic6. N4-N32017Slice of life12---Because the characters are trying to create a small theater company, words related to theater appear. Other than that, the works are suitable for learning Japanese because daily conversation is conducted in plain Japanese. There are few difficult terms, so you can watch it without worries. In addition, since the characters written in the Hinako notebook "HINAKOTO (HINAKOTO)", which is also the title of the work, appear as a video, it is advantageous for students to learn how to read Japanese. The Japanese language learning level of this animation is Intermediate, but it has three advantages of listening, reading, and emulating, so please watch it and use it for Japanese language learning.6.5768848.8 =73 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

6620.87. Beginner7. N5-N42017Drama14---The story structure is poor. Too simple. The character is not cute. The drawing is rough, the movement is not good, and the production is not good enough. The 3D drawing of the live scene is wonderful. However, there is no point that can be evaluated only there. The music itself is good, but the sound production is not good. The personality and laughter elements are not bad, and there are some points that make you laugh. The OP has good movement, music, and performance, but the ED does not draw well. Overall, I can't really appreciate it. It's popular in Japan ... Why? However, there is good news from the perspective of learning Japanese. There are few difficult words, it is composed of simple lines, and the band term does not come out much. The story is simple, so this animation can be recommended for beginners as a listening practice for everyday conversation.6.5676.5720.8 =36 terms / 14 episodes * 8th grade

67208.83. Extreme3. N1+2017Comedy, Romance12---It is a romantic comedy about the main character who created a perfect self to avenge his childhood heroine. Because it is a romantic comedy aimed at young people, the content of conversation is often related to love, and young people's language also appears. However, the Japanese level of this romantic comedy is so high that it is not suitable for beginners to learn Japanese. Proverbs and idioms that the main character likes to use may be very difficult for Japanese learners. In addition, there will be a lot of slang and vocabulary of the main character, which will make learning difficult. They also call other people "Pig's trotters" or "small fly" so they shouldn't be taken as just nouns. The way you enjoy this work depends on how you understand the unique Japanese expressions around here. Therefore, it is very difficult to study Japanese in this anime, and even students with advanced level or higher may find it difficult. From these points, it can be said that this work is not suitable as a Japanese study material.6.57587208.8 =208 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

68103.24. Advanced4. N2-N12017Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy10---This work is the second work of "KonoSuba". The main character of this work, Kazuma Satou, goes to another world and adventures with guild members. Since it is a comedy anime on a stage like an RPG, there are a wide variety of difficult words. RPG terms such as "summon" and "subjugation" and Japanese-specific idioms. However, difficult words are not so difficult and are at the high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. However, the drawback is that the main character is too unique. Megumin speaks Chuni-byou, which makes it unsuitable for Japanese learners to emulate. What's more, she uses old words when casting her spells, making listening difficult. Her emulation is also unsuitable for learning Japanese, as Aqua uses both high-handed and childlike speech. Darkness is pervert in the first place. The Japanese difficulty level of this anime is not high, but it is not suitable as a learning material. Let's enjoy it purely as an anime work. It's very interesting!6.5856.58103.2 =86 terms / 10 episodes * 12th grade

621324. Advanced4. N2-N12017Romance, Comedy12---The genre of this work is Youth Romantic Comedy. The main character, Ituki Hashima, is a novelist. And even though he has no sister, he loves being a "sister". Perhaps because of that, unique characters are always gathering around him. This work depicts the uproar and their daily lives. The novel written by the hero is full of love for his sister. Besides, there is also a naked scene in his work. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are scattered with words used in sexual depiction. Also, since this work uses Parody from other anime works, it may be difficult to listen without knowing the relevant anime. In addition, Nayuta Kani uses simple honorifics, which makes her suitable for listening and emulating practice, but she speaks obscene words in rapid succession. Therefore, this work is not suitable as a learning material unless you are an advanced learner of Japanese. In the first place, the subject matter itself is not suitable for learning materials. And it's not a very interesting anime.6.565.567132 =131 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Since they are animals, there are some words that describe their habits. For example, "territory" and "nocturnal". The difficult word level and the difficult word appearance rate of this work are not high. The difficulty of Japanese in this anime is not high, but it is not very suitable for learning Japanese. Because the characters speak exactly to the animals, they speak in a wide variety of ways. Your question is, do you have the option to watch it purely as an anime? In Japan, enthusiastic fans love this work (at least at the time of broadcasting, it was a tremendous topic), but personally I didn't like any of the characters, drawings, or backgrounds.5.5555566 =66 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The Japanese is also fairly stable, so you can listen to realistic Japanese. This work is a story that goes to Antarctica, so there are many words related to it, but fortunately it is not so difficult because it is "icebreaker", "snow car", etc. In addition, it is a characteristic that among the words related to Antarctica, there are many words related to ships such as "departure" and "ship". There are also proverbs, idioms, and four-letter idioms, but these are the levels that are normally used, so let's take this opportunity to remember them.1077.57.5855.2 =59 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

Unlike "Fate / stay night", this work does not have the Holy Grail War or the command curse. The stage is a peaceful world. As the title of this work, cooking ingredients, seasonings, and cooking names appear frequently. There are also words related to seasonal events in Japan and words often used at home, giving a glimpse of Japanese life. The difficult word level of this work is high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is normal. However, the words used by servants, including Saber, are fairly high-level honorifics. Keep in mind that these honorifics have limited opportunities for work.

It is superb to draw the world view of shogi realistically. The drawing is polite, the movement and direction are good, and the background is high level. The theme song is quite good, the comical sound and BGM are also good, and the dramatic music is also quite good. From the viewpoint of learning Japanese, it is set in Kansai, so it is important to note that there are many characters who become Kansai dialect when they become emotional. After that, as the title says, there are many terms related to shogi, so it will be difficult for those who do not know shogi.7.5887.57225.6 =169 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

This story begins when the main character meets the robot Reisyia. The difficult language level of this work is the most difficult. However, the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. At the same time as this work is science fiction, there are also scenes of crime and battle. Therefore, in this work, speaking styles and words in various fields such as police and military personnel appear. And since Reisyia is a robot, she can't speak well. The main character speaks as a normal high school boy. This work is not suitable for learning Japanese because the story and world view are advanced and very interesting.

However, it is good for enjoying anime because it contains a lot of maniac terms and lines, but it is difficult to learn Japanese. The words in this anime are used in everyday life, but there are many difficult terms such as game terms, otaku terms, idioms, and slang.

You can enjoy laid-back conversations between female high-school students who speak in a natural tone. Considering the difficulty level of the Japanese language used in this anime, it is suitable for intermediate Japanese learners, but if you're the same generation as them, you can challenge even if you're an elementary Japanese learner. There are many terminologies about outdoor since this Anime is camp themed, however, you can understand fully even though you have no knowledge since it has enough explanation one by one in the story. When it comes to the outdoor work, you might imagine that this anime is enthusiastic, but actually not at all.

Most pairs have a combination of bright, lively characters and calming speaking characters, such as a brake that stops their partner. There are hardly any honorific words or slang, so you can watch it with peace of mind. Since this animation is based on the theme of beach volleyball, the rules of beach volleyball and terms related to competitions such as "Serve" and "Match Point" often appear. The terminology is relatively easy to understand because there is a scene where the characters explain the beach ball beginner Haruka. It is easy to understand because the pronunciation is based on English, not Japanese.7.5876742 =41 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

6558.86. Basic6. N4-N32018Romance12---The theme of this work is Yuri, a high school girl. The main stage is girls'high school, so you can get a glimpse of the life of Japanese girls' high school. The level of difficult words is high school students, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. The way the characters speak is suitable for both listening and emulation, and is recommended for beginner Japanese learners. In addition, many of the frequently used terms in this work are those used by modern high school girls and school-related terms. For example, "Shikato". Therefore, I would like to recommend this work to young learners of Japanese. However, it is an absolute requirement that you are resistant to Yuri.

641444. Advanced4. N2-N12018Comedy, Romance11---This work is a love animation of working people. They have otaku hobbies, so they can't really talk to people who don't have otaku hobbies. That is why it is difficult to fall in love with an otaku. However, they seek to find out if otaku can fall in love with each other. This work has a strong comedy element, and the speed of conversation varies greatly from scene to scene. In addition, there are scenes where they deliberately use difficult words to ask the other person's reaction, so even advanced learners of Japanese will have difficulty understanding. In addition, otaku terms such as "Yuri" and "BL" and younger's words such as "Botchi" are also found. Therefore, the difficult language level is very high. Anyone familiar with Japanese subculture and confident in Japanese may be able to watch this anime without subtitles.6.566.567144 =98 terms / 11 episodes * 16th grade

642722. Ultimate2. N1++2018Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This work is a story about the 30th hero rejuvenating and traveling in the game world. Yes, the story and settings are no longer interesting. Since the game world of this work is an RPG, game terms such as "summon" and "holy knight" are scattered. Since the main character is a member of society, the level of difficult words is very high, and the appearance rate of difficult words is also high. Pochi also has a habit of adding "xxx nano desu" to the end of the word. This is unnatural Japanese, so it is not suitable for emulation. Whether it's anime or learning Japanese, this is a work I wouldn't recommend.5.5776.56272 =204 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

7172.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22019Comedy, Romance12---Although it is a typical romantic comedy work, it depicts a polite psychological change, so it is an animation that you can enjoy a pleasant platonic while laughing. The first half introduces characters, and the second half has a stronger love element. It's a pretty good development. All five are cute, but the deduction point is the lack of performance output. The drawing is not bad, but there are some variations in quality. The OP song is a light number with a romantic comedy appearance, and the ED song is quite good because it has a sexy appearance. Because it is a romantic comedy, the level of difficulty in Japanese is not high, and even intermediate-level users can watch it in Japanese. Notice how the five sisters speak slightly differently. Everyone is a real high school girl.7767.5872.8 =109 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

The difficult word level of this work is high school student level, and the difficult word appearance rate is not high. Since Pecorine speaks in a general way for women, female learners of Japanese will be good at emulating practice. Female Japanese learners are good at emulating because Suzume also uses simple honorifics and women's languages. However, many women who use men's language and characters who speak uniquely appear in this work. Therefore, I recommend this work to advanced Japanese learners who can judge the difference between them.

The main character of this work is a college student, but since it is a love story, the level of difficult words is not high. Most of the romance terms are "love hotel" and "love hotel". Since it depicts events that occur in general life, there are many difficult words used in daily life, such as "death anniversary" and "night owl." The appearance rate of difficult words in this work is high. However, since the characters in this work speak in a normal way, they are suitable for emulating Japanese and easy to listen to.

6493.65. Intermediate5. N3-N22013Romance12---The Japanese tend not to give their opinion. This is because Japanese people hate being excluded from the group, but they also hate people who give opinions outside the group. The Japanese hide their true intentions and give safe answers in line with the opinions of the majority of people. This safe answer is called "Tatemae". For example, even if a Japanese says yes, it is no in their hearts. This work describes how to use this true intention and "Tatemae" properly. The main character is a boy who can't really say "Tatemae". Because his true nature is a naughty boy who loves women very much. However, he wonders if someone could take over "Tatemae". And when that idea becomes a reality, he can only talk about his true feelings for women. And the reaction of those around him to him changes steadily. This work has many proverbs and idioms. There are many women-related words such as "small breasts" and "chastity." The main character, You to Yokodera, speaks normally. However, all he talks about is the woman who really is.

In this work, the main character and the heroine become fake lovers, and while living as a student, the distance between them and their friends is shortened. Many of the difficult words in this work are related to school, such as "promotion" and "additional examination." Also, since this work is a love story, many love terms such as "Two-timing" and "first love" appear. Since many other difficult words are used on a daily basis, the difficult word level of this work is junior high school students. However, the appearance rate of difficult words in this work is high. The main character, Raku Ichijyou, uses a strong second person for his lover, Chitoge Kirisaki. This name is often used by men around this age, but it's not a pretty word, so Japanese learners shouldn't emulate it. Moreover, it is outrageous to use this word for a lover. Raku Ichijyou's way of speaking other than this wording is a little rough but normal. Chitoge Kirisaki speaks a little hard to Raku Ichijyou, but speaks normally to others. This distinction is important. From the above, this work is recommended for intermediate Japanese learners.6788881.6 =122 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

You can enjoy a high-quality drama with a fairly polite psychological depiction and delicate emotional changes at the center of the story. Many of the difficult words in this work are related to the stage, such as "sleeve (stage)" and "dressing room." Other difficult words are plain.

In addition, the polite way of speaking of the producer is suitable for both emulating and listening to Japanese learners. This work can be viewed even by basic Japanese learners. Like the "Love Live!"

In addition, completely different types of difficult words such as "Suppin" and "Choju-Giga" will appear. However, the level of each difficult word is not high. The appearance rate of difficult words is also normal. Orivia speaks a little Japanese. Foreigners' Japanese sounds like this to the Japanese. Be careful not to speak like her. Hanako Honda and Kasumi Nomura speak normally. However, when they become gag parts, their way of speaking changes suddenly. If you are an advanced level Japanese learner, you will be able to distinguish between them. It's an anime that drops a very unique and high-level comedy. I guarantee that there is a value at first glance.7.57789114 =114 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Encouragement of Climb Season 3

©しろ/アース・スター エンターテイメント/『ヤマノススメ』製作委員会

7627.27. Beginner7. N5-N42018Slice of life12---This work is a friendship story that deepens through mountain climbing. Since this work is in the third season, there are surprisingly few climbing terms. Many of the difficult words in this work are seasonal words such as "autumn leaves" and "changing clothes." The other difficult words that appear are all plain words. Therefore, the difficult word level of this work is junior high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is low. Moreover, since this work is a 15-minute animation, it is an excellent teaching material for Japanese learners. Therefore, this work is recommended for beginner Japanese learners. The story is highly evaluated for its friendship story, growth story, and very delicate feelings (I'm a little dissatisfied with the drawing and background drawing, but it shouldn't be a big problem).9867827.2 =40 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

66765. Intermediate5. N3-N22018Comedy12---This work is a story about Kaoruko Moeta, a high school student who is a manga artist, entering a dormitory for female manga artists and studying as a professional manga artist. Many of the difficult words in this work are related to manga, such as "serialization." Many other difficult words are used on a daily basis, such as "mail order" and "parent's house." The difficult language level is the junior high school level. Mayu Amizawa, the editor, uses polite honorifics when working with younger people. This is very important. Therefore, her words are suitable for listening and emulating Japanese learners. Other characters basically speak in a normal way. The story is simple and the way each character speaks is stable, so this work is recommended for intermediate Japanese learners.5.577.57676 =113 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

The level of difficult words is elementary school, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low, so it will be easier for learners to prepare. The main character of this work is Chi, a cat. Chi's way of speaking is sloppy and expresses a child. Some Japanese children speak this way. Therefore, learners who are likely to have the opportunity to interact with children in Japan should watch this work regardless of their Japanese level.668.58811 =57 terms / 26 episodes * 5th grade

8131.27. Beginner7. N5-N42018Action/Battle, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---It's an animated version of a special effects drama for children, so even children can understand it. However, you shouldn't blame this work too much. This is because Japanese special effects dramas for children are popular with adults, so the easy-to-understand part and the mysterious part are well balanced. Therefore, the level of difficult words is junior high school students, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. It can be said that this balance is the great taste of this work. It's perfect for kids to watch anime and learn Japanese. Therefore, this work is recommended for beginner Japanese learners. The story is simple. A monster attacks and the hero transforms into a hero and defeats the monster. You can enjoy this work without hesitation because the outline is simple. What's more, the atmosphere and background of the high school that is the stage is quite real, so I would like you to observe it closely (not to look at the attractive thighs and chest of the heroines).8.5987831.2 =46 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

7686.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22018Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance13---It's a youth sci-fi fantasy where people like and dislike clearly. The urban legend "puberty syndrome" is just a syndrome and has various symptoms. Mai Sakurajima who suffered from this disease can only be seen by Sakuta Azusagawa. The good thing about this work is that each character speaks realistically. For example, Mai Sakurajima is older than Sakuta Azusagawa and is the first to meet at the time of episode 1. Therefore, she uses words that feel a little cold to him, including a commanding tone. Sakuta Azusagawa is younger, so he uses simple honorifics. The school life scene and the attitude around Sakuta Azusagawa are also real, so this work is recommended for intermediate Japanese learners. High school level difficult words and low hard word appearance rates will help you prepare. Many attractive female characters have appeared, and the delicate facial expressions and the animations that delicately draw them are worth a look.7987786.4 =93 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

933201. Impossible1. N1+++2020Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---As I said earlier, this work is not recommended for learning Japanese. This is because the level of difficult words is high for college students and adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is very high. Please watch this work with subtitles not as a learning material but for the purpose of purely enjoying animation. This work is a battle action. The stage of this work is the earth in the near future where humankind is in danger of ruin. Only teenage girls who show decisive weapons and high synchronization rates can save this situation. The world view seems to be a mundane setting, but the essence of this anime is elsewhere. The point is that the extremely good friendship of the girls is depicted in the faint lily scent. I want you to fully enjoy the drawing and directing animation of the outstanding workmanship in the work of 2020. Recommended for the largest!9109.599320 =239 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

832562. Ultimate2. N1++2020Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This work is Key's third original animation following "Angel Beats!" And "Charlotte". Therefore, this work also focuses on sad friendship and affection, and the final episode is very crying. The heroine, Hina, speaks with the ending "-ja", which is not a dialect but an "old man's language". Since the latter half of the 18th century, "old man's language" has been used in the world of play as a role word to express old people and intellectuals. God and old people use "-ja" in Japanese animation because it has a very long history. However, this is not suitable for emulation, as no Japanese actually speaks this way. On the other hand, the main character, Youta Narukami, is suitable for both listening and emulating. It is not recommended for learning Japanese because difficult words at the level of college students and adults appear at a high appearance rate, and "old man's language" also appears. However, this story is very moving, so I want you to watch it purely as an animation with subtitles (it is a controversial work, but I highly appreciate it. I recommend it)7.588.58.59256 =191 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

If you are attracted to it and start watching this work, you are already in the trap. The story that betrays the expectations of this work is quite cruel. In this work, a brain battle is also fought, so difficult words at the level of college students and adults appear at a high appearance rate. It is hard to recommend it as a learning product, but for the purpose of purely enjoying anime, I strongly recommend "Talentless Nana", which I was very excited about the story after a long time.9.58779230.4 =186 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

The story is a fantasy comedy of princesses and demons seeking a good night's sleep. Modern people are not good at sleeping. In particular, 20% of adults in Japanese feel chronic insomnia. 15% of them suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness. That's why she can't help but pursue her sleep quality, even in the position of a hostage abducted by the Devil's Castle. This story is a work that Japanese people can sympathize with very much. Highly recommended as an anime that allows you to hold your stomach and laugh.76688126 =125 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Therefore, this work gives a glimpse of what a Japanese marriage or newlywed life looks like. For example, items required for marriage registration, signatures, wedding rings, etc. And it's also standard for couples to move from a small apartment to a solid apartment after marriage. However, since the first episode contains Japanese folk tales such as "Taketori Monogatari" and "Kaguya Hime", it is necessary to prepare for it. High school level difficult words appear with a high appearance rate, but since there are many terms related to daily life, learning Japanese with this animation is a good choice.6.576.567134.4 =134 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

If you actually do that in Japan, you'll either be sweared by a woman, called by the police, or kicked. Since there are many naughty words in the difficult words that appear in this work, the appearance rate of difficult words is high. This work cannot be recommended for children, but it is good for taking a break from adults at an advanced level of Japanese. It's a lovable work with a very silly theme animated.56578136.8 =34 terms / 3 episodes * 12th grade

While playing a net game, she is sent to another world with her bear equipment on. And she takes advantage of her innate business talent, where she lives strongly. Her various commercial senses are amazing, such as opening a shop from scratch or building a tunnel. Also, since this work does not have the Chuunibyo characters that are common in different world fantasies, the difficult language level can be completed by high school students. Moreover, since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work is a rare different world fantasy that intermediate-Advanced Japanese learners can enjoy. However, the story is not very interesting.5.56667102 =101 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

5251.26. Basic6. N4-N32008Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy26---In Japan, the original manga was one of the most popular, but in anime it's a disgraceful work whose story has collapsed magnificently. I have to say that the director is sinful. The story is a romantic comedy centered on naive high school boys and alien girls. Although it is a little erotic, there are no sexual terms in difficult words, and it is at the junior high school level. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is not high, there will be no inconvenience in studying. However, the story is so terrible that the drawing is not stable, so it is not recommended to watch it as an animation.4.5555.5651.2 =164 terms / 26 episodes * 8th grade

Many young people these days don't know the rules of mahjong, but it is not uncommon for them to enjoy mahjong with the people of the company after the scheduled time. I usually work in telework, but one of the reasons I go to work is mahjong after regular hours (although I haven't played mahjong for the last year because of COVID 19 ...). By the way, the difficult words in this work are at the level of working people and specific experts, because there are many mahjong terms. However, everyday conversation is not difficult at all, so if you like unique and cute girls and Yuri and erotic productions that make them look more sexy, please watch this anime. Even if people who didn't know mahjong saw this, they said that the mahjong scene was quite powerful and interesting. In short, I recommend it to you who like Yuri and erotic elements!77778192 =240 terms / 25 episodes * 20th grade

671324. Advanced4. N2-N12009Comedy, Romance12---This work "Student Council's Discretion" is an anime with a good story that cannot be judged from the cover picture and character design alone. The basic route is the school gag story, and the center of the characters is the student organization members, but since the student organization of this school is selected by mere popularity vote, there is no formal element. What's more, they spend most of their student organization activities talking. The content of the conversation is like a normal high school student, and there is not much content. It's so real that it's a good teaching material for learning everyday conversations in high school. However, comedy has many parodies of other works, so if you don't know them, you can't enjoy it enough. Well, if you're a nerd, this shouldn't be a problem. Of course you know Lucky Star, When They Cry, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Code Geass, K-On !, Strike Witches, right?6.57767132 =131 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

801084. Advanced4.

The story mixes various elements such as romantic comedy, BL, and comedy, but surprisingly well foreshadows and entertains the viewer. The character has a pretty cute design, and the way it is shown in the production is very attractive and very good. In particular, the high point is that the stability of drawing is high and various drawing effects are devised. The serious face and the production like "Shaft" are very impressive. On the other hand, from the perspective of learning Japanese, it is important to note that this work takes time to understand because there are many very unique settings such as the "test summoning system". This anime has a strong originality, so if you want to see this work, you want Japanese ability to understand the settings. Since the words unique to the work will appear, advanced level Japanese learners will be able to watch it without subtitles. Although it was an anime more than 10 years ago, it was a popular work that became a hot topic at that time, so if you like anime, please watch it.6.588.589108 =116 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

74132.84. Advanced4. N2-N12010Action/Battle, Horror/Suspence12---First of all, this work is quite grotesque. The protagonists run away while fighting the sudden zombies, and they are a little erotic and scary. The real thrill of this work is that you can enjoy a sense of realism and impatience through dynamic sound production and overwhelming drawing. And above all, the content that is easy to understand will be nice for Japanese learners. However, because the characters are quite unique and there are many military personnel and samurai, difficult words are classified into college students and working adults. Especially Saeko Busujima is not suitable for emulation because it speaks in an old-fashioned way, but other characters are fairly normal. Advanced users can watch it without subtitles, but there is no reason to bother learning Japanese with zombie animation. Let's enjoy (fear) purely as an animation.6.5697.58132.8 =99 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

74225.62. Ultimate2. N1++2010Comedy, Romance13---Although this work is an anime with the Student Council as the main member, it is not rigid at all. In addition, many "sounds" called "Bleep censor" appear. "Bleep" is a sound that is placed on top of a banned broadcast term. Well, this work has a lot of off-color humor, and it's an interesting setting because the female student council president says the off-color humor. However, since "beep" is a sound that covers the lines, it is interesting for Japanese people to understand, but it may be difficult for Japanese learners to hear. Moreover, since the off-color humor is a word that is not usually used, it appears as a difficult word at the level of college students and working adults. Moreover, the student council president always gives off-color humor, so the rate of appearance of difficult words is high. Only native Japanese can understand this anime, so I hope you enjoy it with subtitles. It will surely be a good break. Although it is an old work, it is a fine work with a surprisingly high level of drawing, character design, and erotic performance output.67879225.6 =183 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

7753.66. Basic6. N4-N32011Comedy, Romance12---The story is a school love story centered on the consolidation and abolition of high schools. The school that the main character Shingo Uryuu attends will be closed and integrated with the prestigious girls' high school in the same town. Some students are against the integration because the integration destination is a girls' high school. Perhaps because of that, the story is that a test period is set up and selected members go to high school. Shingo Uryuu was selected as the member of the selection. Difficult words are at the junior high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low, so it is an anime suitable for learning Japanese. The characters speak a little slowly and are easy to listen to, and the story is easy to understand because it is a school love story. Since the original is a gal game, the character design is also a gal game, but the fact that the psychology of the characters is spun with very delicate music and drawing can be highly evaluated. Although it is a 2011 anime, the line drawing is very thin, the background drawing is also fine, and the OP song matches the world view very well. Although it is a slightly minor work, it is highly recommended as an animation for learning Japanese.7.5888753.6 =80 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

However, please be assured that this work is not a lolicon, but a genuine sports animation. The main character, Subaru Hasegawa, plays an active role as a coach in the basketball club of an elementary school and watches over the growth of elementary school students. Since the main character is an elementary school student, the difficult words are at the junior high school level and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. Therefore, I would like to recommend it to basic Japanese learners. The characters speak slowly, so it's easy to listen. The delicate movements and the highly realistic depiction of the sports setting are highly appreciated.6.5686744 =66 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

However, women who speak men's language like Chifuyu Orimura and Houki Shinonono do not really exist, so female learners should not emulate their way of speaking.

Moreover, difficult words are at the junior high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high, so it is very easy to learn. Especially if you are planning to work part-time in Japan, you should take a look. This anime is set in a family restaurant, where the characters work part-time.

In particular, the main character's younger sister is Hentai with a severe brother complex. She speaks in honorifics, so her way of speaking is suitable for emulation, except for Hentai terms. However, the tempo of women's interaction is too fast to be suitable for learning Japanese, so I would like to recommend this work only to advanced learners who are "Extreme". Difficult words have a high incidence of sexual words such as "夜這い: to steal into a house to see a woman". It is doubtful whether you will come to Japan and use these words. There is no doubt that it is an anime that loves outstanding erotic and cute girls. Recommended!6.510978171.6 =171 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7352.86. Basic6. N4-N32012Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This animation, which was expected as the second work of the "To Love-Ru" series that failed in the first work, was also not good. The battle of aliens became more serious than the previous work, and the story became decent as the number of serious scenes increased. The number of sex appeal scenes has decreased, and the sound production has also been improved. However, it is a demerit that the drawing quality is not stable in this series of works where the character is the most important element. Fortunately, from the perspective of learning Japanese, it is easy for Japanese learners with basic skills. This is because difficult words are at the junior high school level and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. MoMo, the main character of this work, uses polite and female languages, so female learners of Japanese are good at emulating and listening practice.6.5977752.8 =79 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

Contrary to the laid-back atmosphere, this work is for native Japanese. Because the protagonist has a hard job called "teacher", she likes difficult words. Because of that, the difficult language is at the level of college students and working adults. Besides, there are many lines and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. However, fairies use children's language, and women and men of all ages come out, so it may be a reference for how to speak. By the way, Japanese characters often appear on the screen, so you can practice kanji, hiragana, and katakana. In any case, contrary to the design, it is difficult to learn Japanese at the ultimate level, so I do not recommend learning Japanese with this anime.6.555.566265.6 =199 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

88153.64. Advanced4. N2-N12013Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance12---One of my personal favorite animes is this anime "Date A Live" series. This work is about love, science fiction, romantic comedy, combat, beautiful girls, and slight eroticism. This work has a world view and story that is quite original, so it is highly recommended for anime lovers. It can be evaluated at the highest level that it embodies the extreme and unbelievable world view of using force or dating with the spirits that destroy the world with considerable drawing power and background painting. There are many female characters, and in addition to the pretty cute character design, the erotic production is also modest, which is highly evaluated. In addition, the chorus of the voice actors is wonderful for the OP song that best matches this anime. However, from the perspective of learning Japanese, there are many difficult words unique to the work, and there are also political and combat terms, so the difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults. Fortunately, the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, so advanced Japanese learners who like beautiful girls will enjoy studying. I highly recommend the first of my favorite anime "Date A Live" series. Must watch!810989153.6 =115 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

70171.23. Extreme3. N1+2015Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---Despite being a dungeon fantasy work with no strange speaking characters, the Japanese difficulty level of this anime is very high. This is because many difficult words at the level of college students and working adults appear. As a story line, it is also a growth that the main character raises the level, but it has a strong fantasy element, and there are many difficult words that are not usually used, such as "神威" (God's majesty), "敏捷" (Agility), and "眷族" (dependents). In addition, there are many idioms such as "足手まとい" (Nuisance) and "色目を使う" (make eyes at a person). Despite the different world fantasy, there are many expressions with strong Japanese, so it is recommended to watch with subtitles. The drawings and backgrounds are of very high quality, but the story, music and personality are not good.6.5796.56171.2 =138 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

There are many real conversations such as career topics after graduation and final exams. Especially recommended for learners who are interested in the life of Japanese high school students. Difficult words are at the high school level, and younger's words such as "slapstick" and "shikato" appear, and simple honorifics for seniors are also very real. Although it is classified for advanced learners as a numerical evaluation, intermediate Japanese learners should use this animation for listening and emulation practice. To be honest, Amagami had a much more attractive character, but from the perspective of learning Japanese, Seiren has a simpler story, so it's easier to understand.6.566.566105.6 =105 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Compared to the previous work, it is more complicated, harsh, desperate, and villainous, and the story and world view have acquired overwhelming originality. There is no reason why this animation is not interesting at this degree of development. And since politics, combat, strategy, etc. still occupy most of the topics, the difficulty level of Japanese is extremely high. Expert-level military and medieval terms appear frequently.

N1+++2018Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---The second work of the popular dark fantasy, "Overlord Season 2," has many political and military stories, many original terms, and frequent expert-level difficult words. Since the characters also use extremely advanced honorifics, even native Japanese people need to have enough language skills to have a hard time. In short, learning Japanese with this anime is not appropriate. However, the character and the dark world view are outstandingly interesting. The point that I especially appreciate is the thrilling production that freezes the spine. The Overlord series is one of my favorite animes. Forget about learning Japanese and enjoy it purely as an anime. I highly recommend it.8.5887.58308 =200 terms / 13 episodes * 20th grade

81725. Intermediate5. N3-N22018Slice of life, Comedy12---The heart-warming anime "Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood" with extraordinary healing power is my favorite work. Anyway, the character is cute. Very cute. Not only the appearance, but also the personality, behavior, and lines are all cute (By the way, the OP and ED songs are also cute and recommended). The vampire girl who is the main character is too kind and the common place is very unique and interesting. I've never seen a vampire so kind and not scary. Moreover, she is an anime otaku, so it's even more interesting. The story is a comedy of a vampire girl and a human girl, so everyday life is the main thing, so Japanese is easy. The vampire is also a laid-back human girl who is the main character, and the tempo of conversation and the tone of the characters are slow, so it is suitable for listening practice. As for difficult words, only junior high school level words such as "mail order" that are used in daily life appear normally, so if you have basic to intermediate level Japanese ability, you can watch it without subtitles. Occult terms rarely appear in this work, and most of them are everyday terms, so it is highly recommended from the perspective of learning Japanese.796.581072 =108 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

773121. Impossible1. N1+++2019Comedy, Romance12---It's a great anime that makes you feel "Voice actors are amazing!" The main character in the work is a genius. Of the Japanese, the ones who are said to be geniuses who have a quick mind are usually quick-talking. Therefore, the characters in this work are naturally quick. Even as a native Japanese person, there are some parts that I can't hear if I take a closer look at this work. It seems to be a conversation of geniuses that many difficult words at the level of college students and working people appear. If you are not a native Japanese, please enjoy this work with subtitles. Let's feel the exquisiteness of the subtitle "Genius's love brain battle" and the awesomeness of the voice actors. It is a comedy masterpiece that stands out among recent anime. I promise that your abs will collapse. You can't breathe from laughing.7.58599312 =234 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

811444. Advanced4. N2-N12007Action/Battle, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy27---"Anyway, it's hot!" This is the essence of "Gurren Lagann". This work is made up of spirit, guts, momentum, and so on. However, probably because of that, characters who use rough Japanese are conspicuous, so it is not suitable for emulation practice. Moreover, many difficult words are about fighting. Since the characters and stories are quite unique, there are some difficult words unique to the work. From the above, difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults. However, difficult words are not so frequent, and there are 27 episodes, so you will get used to them soon. The good thing about this work is that the lines are deeply stuck in your chest. It's fun to watch with the heat of the work, but I want you to bite the lines properly, so I recommend it to advanced learners. It's a famous work, so it's worth watching.888.579144 =243 terms / 27 episodes * 16th grade

Although it is for people who have learned the basics of Japanese, which is a little unusual, it is not recommended for children. Because this work is not Nasty joke but genuine erotic. Her protagonist has a strong romantic approach from her unrelated twin sisters, and is also thought of by other schoolgirls. Nevertheless, the hero has no moderation. However, the important point is not the story, but the point of laughter that this work is aiming for. I will refrain from detailing it because it will be a spoiler, but for example, girls' "urination" is the main axis of this work. You will be surprised that this anime was broadcast on TV. Recommended for those who want to enjoy maniac and rich eroticism (or basic level Japanese learning).6866.5960 =89 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

63268.82. Ultimate2. N1++2011Comedy, Romance12---"Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!" Is a work in which the drawing, background, and music are good, but the charm of the story and characters cannot be understood. The original is a gal game. All the heroines have some kind of martial arts and martial arts, so they are really strong. The main character, Yamato Naoe, is weak and weak, but has a clear mind. He has a desire to surpass women in his brain and, if possible, dominate. The stage is Kawashin Gakuen, which incorporates martial arts into its curriculum. Of course, battles occur until battles, so they are always fighting. The content is crap, but there are a lot of lines and a lot of difficult words at the high school level. Therefore, only those who have strong confidence in Japanese can understand it, no, even native Japanese people do not understand it well. I can't recommend this work for both anime and learning Japanese.557.577268.8 =268 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Surely you don't know what I'm explaining. Naturally. The world view and character settings of this work are extremely ridiculous. In summary, this is a romantic comedy, a harem, and the main character is dressed as a zombie (sorry, I can't explain it ...). From the perspective of learning Japanese, difficult words are not high in the appearance rate of difficult words at the junior high school level, so if you are an intermediate Japanese learner, you can theoretically watch them without subtitles. Yu, the heroine, is a written conversation, so you may be able to use it for reading practice.

This work is an anime suitable for learning Japanese because the psychological description and speaking style of the characters are very realistic, the difficult words are at the high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high. This is a work for intermediate level students who are interested in the actual life and way of thinking of Japanese high school students and the love affairs of Japan. A fine work that spun unrequited love, love triangle, and pure love with a polite psychological depiction centered on attractive and cute high school students.

73297.61. Impossible1. N1+++2013Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---With top-level drawing and background quality in 2013's anime, "Unbreakable Machine-Doll" is a story of acting with an automatic doll called an automaton with magical power. This work seems to be fantasy and difficult words are very difficult. If you think that there are fantasy terms that you don't usually use, such as "magician" and "puppeteer," you will see "Puppeteer" and "after school," which are typical of a school. In addition, there are combat terms such as "armor", idioms such as "unknown", and old words such as "school", so the difficult language level becomes college students and adults. Moreover, the appearance rate of difficult words is high and it is difficult to study. The era of the story is set around the beginning of World War II, so it's more complicated. Although the main character's purpose is revenge, it is difficult to understand the intricate setting of being a school, so this work is not recommended as a textbook for learning Japanese. If you want to enjoy it purely as an animation, please expect it from the characters and drawing / directing, not the story. Yaya is cute.6.579.56.57297.6 =223 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

72964. Advanced4. N2-N12013Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---The setting is too unique and amazing. The stage is a world where human children are no longer born and the dead live in zombies unless they are buried in a grave keeper (but unlike most zombie movies, it's not a story of them attacking people, but they. Lives normally dead). The main character is a grave keeper girl, who lived happily in a village. However, she discovers the secret of the village and she inevitably embarks on a journey to save the world. Perhaps because of this apocalyptic worldview, many high school-level difficult words are related to death, such as "burial," "dead spirit," and "corruption." It may be a little tiring to study, but please be assured that the appearance rate is normal. Advanced Japanese learners will be able to use this animation as a teaching material. It is a unique animation that expresses the moral view of the world where "the dead live" as the default with a bird's-eye view with a high sense. It's a low-profile work, but if you want to call yourself an otaku, it's a work you should know.867.56.5896 =96 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

This series is a story of the battle of girls who enjoy "Sensya-dou" where they fight in tanks as a sport. Moreover, this OVA mainly depicts the battle with Anzio High School, which was not drawn in the main story, so it is just a battle. Since only combat terms and military terms appear, the difficult language level is the most difficult. Needless to say, it is virtually impossible to learn Japanese with this anime. However, this anime, which faithfully reproduces the artillery battle between powerful tanks with a high level of drawing power, is worth a look.8.5898.58296 =37 terms / 2 episodes * 16th grade

The content is pretty silly and not very erotic. Taking advantage of the short animation of 4 minutes, it would be good to divide it as a learning material. Difficult words have a normal appearance rate at the high school level, so it is recommended for intermediate learners. Emulation practice is also possible because all the characters speak normally.

In chronological order, it is set about half a year after the PT case (Precia Testarossa case) in the previous term. Since the description of magic battle has increased from this term, you can enjoy a powerful battle scene. From the point of view of learning Japanese, it is recommended from advanced level, but if you use subtitles well, you should be able to incorporate it into your study and enjoy it. Since the main character, Nanoha, is in the third grade of elementary school, she basically uses simple words, so you can see her with confidence. The point to note is that difficult words related to magic such as "barrier" and "mage" appear.7677796 =103 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

Because the stage of this work is a country that has been at war for a long time. The center of the story is "Pumpkin Scissors," which is dispatched as a specialized unit to solve war damage such as the bandits of refugees and soldiers. As you can see from this background, war terms and noisy words frequently appear. These will be difficult to understand because they will be at the university student / worker level. With 24 episodes and a long animation, the barrier to watching is that it is not very interesting until the final episode. However, the 24 episodes of the final episode will surely impress you. War and peace are always themes we should consider.7.57867219.2 =328 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

This is because the story, character design, and music are not good (although the drawing level is very high). It is a story of girls using weapons called Symphogear fighting against humanity's enemy "noise" while singing. It is a mechanism that the fighting power improves by singing. However, the essential music is not good enough. Although the level of difficult words is not high, it is not suitable for learning Japanese because there are many political terms and coined words.

However, unfortunately, the appearance rate of difficult words is higher than the previous work at the college student / worker level. Anyway, since this work has various genres of difficult words, the range of difficult words is wide.

However, because of this style, in addition to science fiction terms such as "otherworld" and "barrier", many noisy terms such as "torture" and "barbarism" are used. In addition, because the characters are of a high age group, there are many difficult words at the level of college students and working adults.

The main character of this story is a girl about 15 years old, so everyday conversation is easy. However, the school they attend is about training blue mermaids, a profession responsible for maritime security and defense. Therefore, most of their conversations are dominated by naval and military terms, which are difficult words at the level of college students and working adults. Many of these difficult words are unknown even to Japanese people, and it takes time to get used to them. However, this work is an OVA of the main animation, and there are only 2 episodes, so it would be good to see it with subtitles to take a break. I think the battle in the ocean is quite real.6887.57384 =48 terms / 2 episodes * 16th grade

You can enjoy it even if you haven't seen the previous series. Since the main character is not Nanoha, "Nanoha" is missing from the title. Although there are scenes where the heroines transform, it is also recommended for sports lovers because it is more like a martial arts player than a magical girl. From the perspective of learning Japanese, difficult words at the level of college students and working adults that are used in martial arts such as "mock combat" and "old style" usually appear. If you want to watch without subtitles, you need advanced level Japanese ability.

The only two best animes of 2017 are this one and "The Saga of Tanya the Evil". The Japanese of this work is intermediate level, but it is actually very difficult. Since the main character is junior high school to high school students, the appearance rate of difficult words is not high at the high school level. But why is it so difficult? That's because the story is quite intricate. This is not just a fantasy. It's a story where you can enjoy a fairly pure psychological depiction and bargaining, delicate romantic feelings, and psychological warfare. Moreover, the wording of the main characters Kei Asai and Sumire Souma is quite difficult. They use a lot of parables and metaphors in addition to difficult words. And if you want to understand this work, I recommend watching it several times. Even I, a native Japanese, have a hard time understanding ... However, this is still a wonderful work. Must watch.1077.56866 =131 terms / 24 episodes * 12th grade

This work is a short story with two episodes per episode, so it's easy to use for learning. There are a few idioms in difficult words, but the others are only high school level ones that can be used in daily life. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is not high, I would like to recommend it to intermediate level learners. It's an intensely entertaining comedy, so it's the perfect anime to take a break from learning Japanese.6767884 =83 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

It is a must-see what kind of end it will be. If you are an advanced level Japanese learner and have seen the previous work, take a look at this work as well. This work still uses words and phrases used by government agencies, as well as combat terms. In addition, the character's age group is high, so the difficult language is at the level of college students and working adults. Overall, the end point of a person-to-person story is depicted.

Moreover, there are various interests within the same organization. In addition, since this work has many characters, the settings are included. It is quite difficult to learn while watching this animation and try to understand everything. In addition, there are many words and phrases used in government agencies, and difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults. However, the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, so advanced level Japanese learners will understand it.

Among them, this animation "Zombie Land Saga" has reached the critical point with the fun of "comedy". The production also brings a strong comedy from the first episode. In addition, the message of discussing the theme of "living" from the perspective of the dead is also characteristic. I guarantee that this work is quite unique but absolutely interesting. However, the trouble is that many characters use Japanese dialects and old words, including the main character, other main characters, and even mobs. Therefore, it is a little difficult to hear and is not suitable for emulation. In addition, it is difficult to learn because all the characters have too strong individuality and various difficult words at the university student / worker level are commonly used. Even advanced learners will have difficulty understanding. However, forget about learning Japanese and take a look!

Because the story focuses on battle, the appearance rate of difficult words at the level of college students and working people, such as military terms and rough words, is high. I want you to enjoy it purely as an animation, not as learning Japanese. This is a very nice piece. The whole thing is made with CG animation, but the movement of people is very natural and does not make you feel uncomfortable. The story is about an air corps that protects the airships of a trading company that transports goods by air from air pirates. This aviation corps is called "Kotobuki Squadron" and is an organization only for women. But don't underestimate them. They are pretty brilliant and move in a way reminiscent of the notes of an ace pilot who experienced World War II. The powerful aerial battle reproduced in CG animation gives you an indescribable sense of presence and speed. The general review doesn't seem to be high, but I rate the anime in the top five of 2019.

72190.43. Extreme3. N1+2019Drama, Horror/Suspence6---In a nutshell, this work is "an anime in which very noisy girls play an active role." This work is an OVA of the Grisaia series. The stage is Mihama Gakuen this time as well. At the school, which has become a special skills training school, girls who have lost their way shoot their pistols, make bombs, and throw kunai every day! Since the original of this work is a novel game, the settings are quite complicated. Since they are involved in cases that cannot be resolved by the police and the Self-Defense Forces, there are many military terms, combat terms, and a lot of difficult words at the level of adult college students and working adults. For example, the word "sniper" is not a word we usually use, and in recent years in Japan it is only used in anime and novels. First of all, you should study Japanese with other animations and use this work as a teaching material after reaching the advanced level or higher. The background is as beautiful as the highest level, and the finely moving drawings are extremely high level. For fans of the previous three Grisaia works, I recommend "Grisaia: Phantom Trigger the Animation".778.56.57190.4 =71 terms / 6 episodes * 16th grade

701304. Advanced4. N2-N12019Comedy, Romance13---"You Never Learn Japanese" Oops, excuse me. Explain "We Never Learn". This work is recommended for studying Japanese! This is because the heroines who have weak subjects struggle to study for entrance exams while having the main character Nariyuki Yuiga teach them how to study. This work is a harem romantic comedy! I'm sure you will be motivated too. Besides, this work allows you to study a lot of idioms. You can enjoy studying because there is even "Mahuyu Kirisu's idioms" on YouTube. However, there are many difficult words at the high school level. This work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, but the above-mentioned "Mahuyu Kirisu's idioms" is suitable for one-off study, and I think that you can learn from intermediate level with subtitles first. Let's just add one word. I guarantee that the OP of this anime will boost your study motivation.686.56.58129.6 =140 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

7180.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22019Comedy, Romance12---The main character is Ao Horie, a high school girl. Since her father is a sensual novelist, Ao also has a wealth of sexual knowledge. However, because of that, she hates men and has no dating experience. That's why, after she was confessed to Takumi Kijima, she became too conscious of him as the opposite sex and couldn't study her. Ao wants to live alone, so she wants to go to a high-level college. She has to study, but she's full of her head with Ao's naughty delusions. Anime in which women have naughty delusions is rare. Difficult words are at the high school level, and the appearance rate is not high, so intermediate level Japanese learners can enjoy them without subtitles. However, since many of the difficult words that appear are sexual, is this study really useful? (No, it's definitely useful!)7866.5880.4 =80 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

66115.24. Advanced4. N2-N12019Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance12---I was a little shocked. Because the third work of my favorite "Date A Live" was not good enough. This time, a big problem about Origami Tobiichi has come up, and the story is about to reach a turning point. However, the story composition, character design, drawing level, and music are all inferior to the previous work. Fortunately, the Japanese level is easier than the previous work (although it is still an advanced level). Since the production of the fourth season has been announced, I have high expectations for the next work (why does the animation production company change every time even though this is a popular series?).67767115.2 =115 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Why the Hell are You Here, Teacher!?

©蘇募ロウ・講談社/なんでここに先生が!?製作委員会

6161.66. Basic6. N4-N32019Comedy, Romance6---This work is a high school romantic comedy with a strong comedy. Although various naughty happenings occur, the strength of the gag is outstanding, and it is strange rather than erotic. Even if I watch this anime, there are many parts that make me wonder "what a big adult is doing", so it may be boring for adults. However, difficult words have a normal appearance rate at the junior high school level, so anyone who has mastered the basics of Japanese will understand it. If you are a high school student or a Japanese learner, you should be able to learn Japanese in a fun way with this work (not recommended for people with adult sensibilities).575.56761.6 =46 terms / 6 episodes * 8th grade

70785. Intermediate5. N3-N22003Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This work is for intermediate level, it is too plain and there is little conversation. Difficult words are at the high school level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal. But you may get a little sleepy when you see this. It's a little boring. The main character is Shiki Toono, who can see the fragile parts of various things. He is the eldest son of a large conglomerate, but he is willing to see strange things and is disowned by his father. After the death of his father, he returned to his parents' home when he was in his second year of high school and lived with his sister. There was a vampire-like serial murder in his town at the time, and he met Arcueid Brunestud. She was actually a vampire. From her encounter with her, Shiki follows her murderer and at the same time begins to face her upbringing. Shiki has a face that can't kill insects, but he actually has a habit of collecting cutlery and has a secret of his upbringing. Also note the faint love between Arcueid Brunestud and Shiki.867.56.5778 =77 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

81145.64. Advanced4. N2-N12005Action/Battle, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy50---"Eureka Seven" is a science fiction robot anime. Especially the robot action scene is a must-see! This is so powerful that it is definitely recommended for robot anime lovers. The passion of the creators can be felt from the internal design and depiction of the mechanics and mother ship. As you can see from this genre, the difficult words in this work are at the level of college students and working adults. Combat terms, mechanic terms, military terms, rough Japanese, these are the contents of difficult words, so it is suitable for advanced level Japanese learners. However, since this animation has 50 episodes, it is good to watch it when you have time (because it will be interesting from the second half).8.579.57.58145.6 =451 terms / 50 episodes * 16th grade

He will live with her. The two are in a very awkward relationship. Moreover, he is living with his cute little sister. The content of this work is a typical romantic comedy. Although the character design is old, it has the cuteness and charm that can be used even today. It's worth a look. In addition, it also includes a secret taste that changes from a simple romantic comedy to a serious love story. The story is easy to understand, but requires an advanced level of language proficiency. This is because there is a wide range of terms from younger's words to marriage-related terms, school-related terms, and difficult words at the high school level. Moreover, the appearance rate of difficult words is high. To watch without subtitles, you need advanced level Japanese ability.6876.57152.4 =152 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

69183.63. Extreme3. N1+2012Comedy, Romance12---Do not evaluate it as a simple drawing. The romantic comedy animation that seems to be boring is finished in an interesting way. The heroine, Tsumiki Oniwa, speaks very femininely and has a very good gap with Tsundere. It's also very interesting as a comedy, and it's a level that you can enjoy watching purely. I would like to evaluate the music that matches the work very well. The sound BGM is also finely made, and it is a high-level sound production as a comedy. I assert that you, who have a high level of otaku, can enjoy this anime. On the other hand, from the perspective of Japanese learners, it is necessary to call attention. The story and the way of speaking are slow overall, but the appearance rate of difficult words is very high, and the heroine Tumiki Miniwa uses both women's and tsundere, and Mayoi Katase changes the way of speaking frequently. The level of Japanese is extremely high, so I hope you enjoy it as an anime work with subtitles instead of learning Japanese.6776.58183.6 =183 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

70230.42. Ultimate2. N1++2013Action/Battle, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This work is a robot sci-fi fantasy, but not for children. The appearance rate of difficult words at the level of college students and working adults is high, and an ultimate Japanese level is required. Because there is a political element in the work. The stage of this work is the world where 70% of the population lives in a space city far from the earth. The world is home to two major powers, the United States of America and the United States of America, and a small neutral nation. The main character is Haruto Tokishima, a 17-year-old who enjoyed peace in a small country. One day, a small country is attacked by the Federal Army of the Military Alliance, killing his childhood friend. He forgets himself in anger and boarded Valvrave I, the robot that was there, to repel the enemy. However, as soon as he becomes able to control Valvrave I, he is no longer human. Haruto, who has become a man in the midst of various politics, plans to become independent of the school, fearing that his school friends and family will be hurt. And Valvrave is also discovered from III to VI. I wrote it briefly so far, but in fact, since most of this work is political, there were some parts that even I, a native Japanese, couldn't understand.7.5696.56230.4 =172 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

80785. Intermediate5. N3-N22014Comedy, Romance12---My favorite Yuri anime is "Sakura Trick". There is no other work that you can enjoy the cute gestures of cute girls with Yuri, comedy, and more than this anime. Definitely recommended for intermediate level learners who like Yuri and want to laugh! Difficult words are easy to understand because at the high school level, school terms and words used in daily life usually appear. In addition, this work has four seasons, and you can learn about seasonal school events such as entrance ceremonies, changing clothes, ball games, school festivals, and graduation for entrance exams. Especially graduation is anxious. They can't hide their anxieties about the future, parting with good friends, and losing their special place of school. It is also a work that depicts such a conflict of mind and a relationship with an important friend who blows it away. A catchy melody OP song, ingenious camera work everywhere, a unique production effect like Shaft, a very attractive cute character design, and an erotic Yuri. Excellent!!6.587.581078 =77 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

64227.22. Ultimate2. N1++2014Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---"If Her Flag Breaks" was not a harem anime. This is an overwhelming anime that searches for the truth of the world. The beginning is a school animation, and the girls and the hero get along with each other while going around school events such as sports festivals, forest schools, beauty pageants, and school festivals. However, in the second half, suddenly unclear settings such as virtual worlds on the network and cyber battles appear. The program that tries to control humanity and the main character will fight. However, this is the actual production of this work. In addition to the appearance of various girls (and strange ways of speaking), this rapidly developing work is ultimately difficult at the Japanese level because difficult words at the college student / worker level are used at a high appearance rate. I would like to recommend a little maniac anime to those who want it.766.55.57227.2 =184 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

7470.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22016Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---The background picture is super beautiful. The beauty of the sky and the sea blends into the background of the animation of the speedy flying scene (this work is about a fictitious sport called the Flying Circus), and the sense of balance is overwhelming. OP and ED also let us enjoy the beauty of the background. A straightforward youth sports drama that seems to be a simple sports animation, but also depicts the worries and regrets of each character in detail. The character design has some features, but the design is not too cute, which is a good impression. No, it's cute enough, but it's good that it's not too biased. The drawing of the flying scene is truly a workmanship, and gives a very sense of speed and presence. As a whole, I like the story that is drawn straight. It is also good that there is almost no erotic production peculiar to gal games. Since only high school level Japanese appears and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high, this animation is highly recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners.7.578.57770.8 =70 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

651983. Extreme3. N1+2016Drama, Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---"This work is not a gag anime !?" was my impression when I first saw it. The character design looks like a gag, but the story is surprisingly solid. The main character, Shigeo Kageyama, works part-time as a ghost under Arataka Reigen. He has nothing to do except supernatural powers. One day, he joins the body modification department to change himself. This work is a story in which a hero with supernatural powers fights against spirits and calms them down while sending youth. Therefore, this work has a high rate of appearance of difficult words at the high school level, such as spirits and psychic powers. You can watch without subtitles if your Japanese ability is expert level or higher. Pay particular attention to the changes in his relationship with his younger brother, who had a feud, and with Arataka Reigen, who sometimes has doubts. Also, Arataka Reigen sometimes speaks fast, so you need to listen carefully. The unique animation dynamically directs the action scene, and its power is sure to be overwhelming.6.56767198 =198 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

6493.65. Intermediate5. N3-N22017Drama, Romance12---This work realistically depicts the love, school life, and entrance exams of high school students. The main character is Eita Izumi, a third-year high school student. He went to Fukuoka when he was in the second year of junior high school due to his parents' transfer, but will return to Kanagawa at the closing ceremony of the second semester of the third year of high school. He reunites with his best friend Haruto Souma, who is still in middle school, and Mio Natume, who secretly had a feeling for him. This work is a love story centered on them. Eita has been recommended to enter the university, and her high school life, which has only a few months left, does not belong to the class, and she goes to the study room and her uniform is the same as before. This may be a little confusing to you. Japanese high schools are not compulsory education, so some schools are generous in attending as long as they earn credits. The stage is Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. You can enjoy the scenery of Japan because the images of stations, cityscapes, schools, etc. are quite realistic. Since the characters are high school students, difficult words are also at the high school level. The content of the conversation is real, and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal. This work will be a good study for intermediate level Japanese learners. However, there are many scenes in which this work is exchanged on LINE. Due to the small letters, it may be difficult for Japanese learners to understand. Japanese reading comprehension is also essential.7.566.56693.6 =93 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

914281. Impossible1. N1+++2018Drama, Horror/Suspence, Sci-Fi/Fantasy14---Actually, I don't like this work. However, it has rated "The Case Files of Lord El Melloi II" as the best anime of 2018. Because the animation and music are as good as or better than Hollywood movies. I have to evaluate it as a work that transcends the realm of animation. It is a work with such a high degree of perfection. As a work genre, it is a new genre called magic mystery. This work is very difficult! It cannot be practically used as a teaching material for Japanese learners. In addition to the difficult words peculiar to the genre of mystery, there are many difficult words related to magic. This is positioned as a difficult word at the level of working people and specific specialists, but even Japanese people cannot specialize in magic. Therefore, it takes time for Japanese people to get used to difficult words. After all, this work is a story with Waver Velvet, who appeared in "Fate / Zero", as the main character. Once a magician, Waver Velvet was defeated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, with Iskandar as his servant. Later, with Iskandar's teachings in mind, he became a teacher, but with the advent of Reines El-Melloi Archisorte, he followed a magic-related incident. You can enjoy this work even if you haven't seen the "Fate" series. In addition, it is full of difficult phrases and old words unique to this series. If you are a Japanese learner who liked "Fate / Zero", you will surely enjoy it, but please watch it with subtitles.9.581099428 =299 terms / 14 episodes * 20th grade

This work carefully depicts their delicate psychology and facial expressions. The stage is the high school student organization. Yu Koito helps her student organization campaign, as requested by Touko Nanami. Yu is supposed to give Touko's cheering speech, but she becomes a member of the student organization. Then, the school festival, which is the biggest work of the Student Organization, begins. This work grows through student organization activities and learns about thinking about people. If you are a basic level Japanese learner who is interested in real student organization activities and high school life, please take a look at this work. Everyone speaks normally, so it's suitable for both emulation and listening. Difficult words are usually only at the junior high school level, so it will surely be a good study. Oh, this is a Yuri anime, but it's not a simple Yuri. Although it is not a flashy work, this work, which can express the slight changes in facial expressions and the slight movements of the line of sight with delicate camera work and performance output, is excellent.7.5787854.4 =88 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

742402. Ultimate2. N1++2018Action/Battle, Horror/Suspence12---A modern ninja anime, "Release the Spyce". It is a story of high school girls who spy on the city as "Tsukikage". By chewing spices, they gain a superhuman body and fight against enemies. The main character is Momo Minamoto, an ordinary person. She has good eyesight and witnesses Yuki Hanzoumon and others spying on her. She has a connection with Yuki and others, and she becomes a lizard after training and testing with Yuki as her master. Can she protect the city from criminal gangs! ?? This work has a high appearance rate of difficult words related to police and self-defense that are not usually used. Since these difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults, the level of Japanese is ultimately high. The character, world view, drawing, music, and OP production are all well-balanced, so it's best to watch it purely as an animation. If you like character design, there is no loss in watching it.877.56.58240 =180 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

There must be victims of goblins and monsters in fantasy. But have you ever seen the victim? Isn't it omitted in most of the works? "The brave men went to the cave but didn't come back. Can you see me?" Seems to be a boring templated line, but this should be a very scary situation. This is an anime that depicts such extraordinary life and death and death with thorough realism. The main character is an adventurer who hunts only goblins. His name is Goblin Slayer. Strength is justice, but it can also create fear. And recklessness and courage are different. This is a real fantasy that reminds me of such ordinary things. I recommend it to you who are tired of ordinary different world fantasy (Do you love murder, humiliation, bleeding, etc.?) In addition, this work has a high appearance rate of fantasy terms and combat terms at the college student / worker level, so this is It goes without saying that it is not suitable for learning Japanese.7.56779251.2 =204 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

This is what happens every day in the human body. It is an animation in which cells that anthropomorphize this and cells set in the body play an active part! Humans can get scratched, get the flu, and get food poisoning. This work clearly depicts how cells move when a person is sick or injured. In particular, this work is a good work to understand the difference in cell function between normal times and emergencies, and the activities of various organs. However, detailed explanations such as cells and pathogens will be displayed on the screen. This may not be narrated, so Japanese reading comprehension is also required. The ultimate level of Japanese learners will enjoy this work, but any level of learners should take a look with subtitles. Especially recommended if you are interested in physiology or the human body. Difficult words are at the level of working people and specific experts, and the appearance rate is high, but it is natural because the characters are cells. The mechanism inside the body is animated based on correct medical knowledge, characters such as red blood cells and white blood cells are designed with extremely correct medical settings, and organs such as lungs and heart are also based on accurate knowledge. It is visualized in. These are explained in an easy-to-understand manner with familiar drawings and productions, and the sound production is also developed in a wide range from serious to dynamic and emotional. Although it is a very unique work, it is an anime that is praised by Cancer Research Co., Ltd. for its accurate content.86677234 =163 terms / 14 episodes * 20th grade

The original story of this work is a romance adventure game limited to those over 15 years old, and the story is "High school boys go to another world and make children with 12 women". However, because of R15, there is no direct erotic depiction only in the atmosphere. The story is simple, but the Japanese level is extremely high because there are many jargon.

One day Hinata brought her friend Hana, who was Miyako's favorite beauty. Miyako is supposed to have a communicative disorder, but she lets Hinata and Hana cosplay and take pictures! Miyako is a Hentai person. And Miyako's communication disorder is getting better little by little. In addition, an elementary school cultural festival appears in this work, but it is surprisingly rare in anime, so it is a must-see. Parents also help with the school festival at the elementary school, but it is drawn quite realistically. If you have mastered the basics of Japanese, definitely take a look at this anime! I'm sure that the tired mind of learning Japanese will be positive. Difficult words have a low appearance rate at the junior high school level, so you should be able to learn with confidence. It's a funny work and it will be healed by cute elementary school girls, so let's take a look. The music and direction of OP and ED is very nice!6.5977843.2 =64 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

All of them speak in a normal way, and many of the difficult words are at the high school level. However, the range of difficult words is wide and it is difficult to learn. The story itself is easy to understand, so it will be easy to use for learning. It's an anime in which very cute and attractive beautiful girls (however, Hentai) provide us with 100% laughter (lost laughter).

59100.84. Advanced4. N2-N12019Slice of life12---This work begins with a fox named Senko coming to Kuroto Nakano, a tired office worker. In Japan, foxes are said to be messengers of God. Because the foxes come down to the village from the spring when farming begins to the autumn when they are harvested, they look like messengers of the god of farming. Knowing such a background will make this work even more interesting. Senko also speaks in an old-fashioned way. This is "old man's language". Since the latter half of the 18th century, "old man's language" has been used in the world of play as a role word to express old people and intellectuals. By letting a god who has lived for 800 years use "old man's language" like this work, it shows the difference from human beings in the world. Senko's way of speaking is not suitable for emulation, but Kuroto Nakano is suitable for emulation because it is a normal way of speaking. When a person is tired, he or she can get rid of it by being recognized by someone. This work is such a work, so it is good to see it when you are tired from work or study. The difficult word level is high school students, and the difficult word appearance rate is normal, so advanced level learners will understand it easily.5.56666100.8 =100 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

901044. Advanced4. N2-N12012Romance, Comedy, Horror/Suspence12---Do you know Japan's "school ghost stories" and "seven mysteries"? "Dusk Maiden of Amnesia" is based on these urban legends. In short, this work is horror. Therefore, since all the difficult words are related to mystery, they are at the level of college students and working adults, and there are many words that are not usually used. This work is aimed at advanced level Japanese learners, but the degree of perfection as an animation is a masterpiece level (although the name of the work is low). The story is simple. The main character is Teiichi Niiya, a boy who can see the spirit. He meets the ghost Yuuko Kanoe at school. She has lost her memory and she is a ghost, so she has a limited number of people to talk to. He establishes the Mystery Investigation Department to investigate the cause of her death and the mysterious phenomena that occur in her school. The horror and romantic comedy are well combined, and the sound effects are very thrilling, so the work is spectacular. It's a 2012 work, but it's still well worth watching today. Highly recommended.9.589.599104 =78 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

It's been a while since we've seen such pure romance. A movie version of a romance anime that I would recommend to anyone who wants to see super pure love. Actually, this work is a sequel to "Tamako Market", but you can enjoy it without knowing the main story. The stage is a shopping street. The main character, Tamako Kitashirakawa, is the daughter of Mochiya, a third-year high school student. Her childhood friend Mochizou Ooji is in love with Tamako. He decides to confess to Tamako and at the same time decides to go on to university in Tokyo. However, he cannot easily convey his feelings to her. Third year high school is a crossroads in life. At the same time as they get lost in their careers and going on to higher education, they can also say goodbye to their favorite person. "Tamako Love Story" is a work that beautifully depicts the emotions of high school students in such a delicate standing position. From the perspective of learning Japanese, difficult words are at the high school level and the appearance rate of difficult words is not high, so if you are an intermediate level Japanese learner, you can watch it without subtitles. This work is a very beautiful story. Your heart will definitely be clean. Highly recommended!8797.5772 =24 terms / 4 episodes * 12th grade

723041. Impossible1. N1+++2014Comedy, Romance13---It's the second season of "Seitokai Yakuindomo". Although all the characters are one grade older, this work is still a student organization anime with dirty jokes as the main theme. As a result, the Japanese in the "Bleep" part is hidden, and there is no work that is so difficult for Japanese learners to listen to. It is practically impossible to study Japanese with this work, so if you want to see it, it is a good idea to put out subtitles. The reason why many difficult words at the college student / worker level appear is that most of the terms are dirty jokes. The story has a high percentage of people who enjoy dirty jokes rather than student organization activities. Although it is a gag anime, the character design and cuteness are surprisingly excellent, and surprisingly the drawing level and performance output are very high.67878304 =247 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

74170.43. Extreme3. N1+2017Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---In the real world, there are people who are persecuted by discrimination anytime, anywhere. The relationship between people, the way people live in society, and how to cherish people's feelings are grand themes common to all humankind. This anime "Interviews with Monster Girls" challenges the theme from the perspective of Ajin (Monster Girls). At first glance, this work is a school anime full of beautiful girls, but the heroines are human beings with a special character called Ajin. They are vampires, yuki onna, succubus, etc. that are motifs of fairy tales and ghost stories, and they are people who are often called youkai in Japan. Although they have been persecuted for a long time, they are no longer persecuted on the stage of this work, and they are now able to live like ordinary human beings with assistance. However, it is superficial, and there are many disadvantages such as being unable to understand even if the persecution disappears and being afraid of appearance. There, high school biology teacher Tetuo Takahashi works to help them. What was there was not Ajin and human beings, but the attitude of pursuing a universal "natural" that can be done as a companion living in the same place. This work requires advanced level or higher Japanese proficiency. Difficult words are at the high school level, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high, and the main heroines use advanced honorifics. However, I want you to watch this anime with subtitles. The cute character design, stable drawing, and comedy arranged in a proper balance ease the difficulty of themes such as universal values and ethics.976.56.58170.4 =170 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Masato Oosuki is transferred to the game world by the Cabinet Office. It's also with his mother. The purpose of the Cabinet Office is to play a normal test play as a normal hero and his mother. However, the real purpose of the Cabinet Office is that the mothers are together. Can Masato serve his purpose and return to the real world? !! If you are a learner who enjoys RPG online games, you may be able to enjoy the details of this work. Those who do not know RPG terms need advanced level Japanese. Also, since it is a comedy anime, it is important to note that the high school level difficult word appearance rate is high and the range of word genres is wide. The animation itself is not so interesting, so I don't recommend it for learning Japanese or as an anime work.5.5675.56147.6 =147 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

This work is a continuation of "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!" And is the final episode of this series. This work deserves the end of his story. As usual, Hachiman Hikigaya grows a little at the end and solves Yukino Yukinosita's problem. If you are an advanced level Japanese learner who has been watching this series, please take a look. High school level difficult words come out with a high appearance rate, but let's think that it can not be helped because Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinosita have this kind of personality. It can be said that this is the final episode of the school romance of troublesome people. It's a series of works whose likes and dislikes are largely divided even in Japan, but people of the same age will probably sympathize with it. I like this series, so I highly recommend it. The character design is also very cute, so I like it.7.5896.57145.2 =145 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

65150.44. Advanced4. N2-N12020Slice of life12---When you hear the fishing animation of high school girls, it may not seem like a real thing. But don't underestimate. This is a fairly full-scale fishing animation and a work that respects nature. This begins when the main character, Hina Turugi, joins a club called "Teibou Club". The "Teibou club" is a fishing club, and the name "fishing club" is usually used. Although it is a club activity animation with very rare contents as an animation, there is a surprising high school with a fishing club. Of course, only girls are anime, but ... Hina is not good at living things, so she screams every time she touches an octopus or a ligia exotica. Yuuki Kuroiwa, the director of the Teibou club, forced Hina to join the club, but Hina really wants to join the handicraft club. Still, when she tried fishing, she found it quite fun and she fell in love with fishing. Since the motto of the Teibou club is "Eat when you catch it", the difficult words in this work are usually the difficult words of college students and working people such as cooking names. The Japanese difficulty level as a numerical evaluation is an advanced level, but the difficult words are biased toward fishing, so if you ignore them, you can watch without subtitles (because it is close to the Slice of Life animation). Take a break and take a look at this. Of course, if you like fishing, be sure to check it out!766.567150.4 =112 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

While going to school, they will perform their first live, CD debut, and CD sales promotion live. And one day, they are aiming to live locally. And the outline of the story is to prevent the demolition of the dormitory of the office to which they belong. This work is recommended for intermediate level learners, but since the manager often speaks in writing, reading comprehension in Japanese is also required. Since the main characters are high school students, there are many younger's words, but difficult words have a low appearance rate at the high school level and the story is simple, so intermediate Japanese learners can watch them without subtitles.666.56792.4 =92 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

74219.22. Ultimate2. N1++2005Drama26---The number of people who can learn Japanese with this anime "Akagi" is extremely limited. Because this work is a mahjong anime. Most of the difficult words are mahjong terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. If you don't know mahjong, even Japanese people can't understand the term. However, this work has a solid psychological depiction and historical background. The stage is Japan in 1958. Thirteen years after the end of the war, Japan was about to enter a period of high economic miracle. The cityscape, the existence of yakuza, and the play of the bad guys at that time are depicted realistically. The story begins with the encounter between him and Mahjong, as it depicts Shigeru Akagi's boyhood. At the end of the story, Akagi's battle with a horrific betting mahjong is depicted, in which blood is drained when the game is lost. I like mahjong, so I like this anime, but it goes without saying that it is not suitable for learning Japanese.878.55.58219.2 =355 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

And he rebels, knowing that he will cause many casualties. No matter how hard he fights, no matter how much he wins, his memory will not return. However, something reveals his true identity ...! In this work, war and politics also appear, and religion is involved, so difficult words are at the level of college students and working people, but the appearance rate is normal. This work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. However, it is better to understand that Shinto, which is a polytheistic religion in Japan, is the original belief. In addition, the life and beliefs of Eruruu and others are based on the Ainu culture.

He departs from the tip island with Nakiami to regain his original appearance. And he knows the truth of the world with his companions and moves forward while struggling.

They decided to nurture love from now on, and started an exchange diary and kissed. Soon they will share secrets that only each other knows. An enemy appeared in Hokkaido, where they live, and the war began. In front of Syuji, who escaped from a sudden air raid, Chise, who was half-armed with her body, appeared. Yes, she was the ultimate weapon for humankind. Syuji decides to support her while being shocked. However, contrary to his thoughts, Chise's personality is gradually swallowed by that of weapons. Since this work is set in Hokkaido, the character has a dialect. Except for the ending, it is almost the same as the standard language, and the intonation is slightly different. I want you to understand this well. The endings are "-dabesa" and "-shoya", but this is also a dialect, so don't emulate it. And since this work uses military terms, the difficult language is at the level of college students and working adults. However, since there are many daily conversations, fortunately the analysis results of Japanese difficulty settle down to the intermediate level. We hope you will enjoy this old Japanese masterpiece anime "Saikano". It was a work more than 20 years ago, but it was definitely a sensational work at that time, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a representative work that formed today's anime culture. By the way, the last scenes are all different for the original version, the anime version, and the movie version, so it's a good idea to check them all.8787886.4 =70 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

Meanwhile, Satuki Sinonome, the most promising candidate for the next student council president, proposes "organizing and abolishing unsuccessful club activities." Therefore, the Shoken members decide to stand up for the opposition and run Yuuki Oojima. He wasn't enthusiastic, but he gradually became motivated and made various moves. The student organization inside school election of this work has many adhesions, backdoor deals, and election obstructions like the election of politicians. This area is not real, but speeches, votes, cheering speeches, etc. are real. However, please be aware that some Japanese high schools do not hold student organization elections. Also, Yakumo Mouri and Oboro Yumesima usually use honorifics, so listen and emulate them. In addition, this work boasts a high appearance rate of difficult words at the university student / worker level such as election terms, youth language, and criminal terms. Therefore, this work is for people who are confident in Japanese (Extreme level). The quality of the drawing and background painting is very high, the sound production is very polite, and the story that well depicts the conflict of thoughts of the students is also very good.

What's more, this work is a 10-minute animation, which is useful when you don't have time or want to learn love terms. However, the story is quite sensational. It is reminded that the strong enemy of love is "misunderstanding". The main character is Yuma Okazaki, who recently had a boyfriend. Her best friend Hotaru Mizusina is her childhood friend and her neighbor. Hotaru kisses and touches Yuma, who has a boyfriend for the first time, to teach her various things. Yuma hates it, but she's more interested in kissing Hotaru than kissing her boyfriend Takeda. Takeda works hard to develop a relationship with Yuma, but Yuma can't help but worry about Hotaru. Yuma feels guilty about having a more advanced relationship with Hotaru than with Takeda. The key point of this work is the lines of Hotaru. I want you to think carefully about what she thinks and what she wants. You can see that the Japanese have a really annoying personality. And Yuma, Hotaru and Takeda are good for emulating and listening. I would like you to refer to them.5.555.56.5760 =30 terms / 6 episodes * 12th grade

761743. Extreme3. N1+2018Comedy12---The Japanese difficulty level of "Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!" Is Extreme. This is because the honorific level is extremely high and the comedy terms contained in the dialogue are diverse. But this anime is insanely interesting! I definitely recommend it! The main character, Tubame Kamoi, is a former SDF officer with muscular muscles. She has a genius cooking skill. Her target is Misha, a beautiful girl in the second grade of elementary school who has a Russian mother. Tubame wants to get along with her more than she needs, no, to marry her, and decides to board her Takanashi family as her housekeeper. However, Misha has a serious wound in her heart and tries to get rid of her housekeeper. However, Tubame is a former SDF officer.

Difficult words are at the high school level, but the appearance rate is high and the range is wide. Still, this work is so interesting that you will love it. Let's be healed by Russian-style music, high drawing level that can not be thought of as a comedy genre, and insanely cute Misha.787.57.58174 =173 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

In her case, this was not a problem with her eyes, such as color blindness or color blindness, but a problem with her mind. The 17-year-old, who has left her relationship with others and her witch, herself, and reveals her emotions, was in a world of white, black and gray. Her grandmother, Kohaku, cast a great deal of magic on her. One day in 2078, Hitomi will be back in time in 2018. Despite being confused, Hitomi joins the magic photography art club with her second-year high school student Kohaku, remembering her joy, sadness, tension, and emotions. And she is fascinated by Yuito Aoi's painting and his heart, the only one that can see the color. This work is a fantasy set in Japan with a few wizards. Surprisingly, there are no difficult words about magic, so the difficult words are at the junior high school level. The appearance rate is also normal, so if you are a basic level Japanese learner, you can watch it without subtitles.

The level of drawing and background images is high and you can watch with confidence. The sound effects and direction are also skillful, and you will definitely be impressed. The character design is also cute, yet it is kept in a charm that does not interfere with the story (meaning that it emphasizes the story). Although it is a serious story, comedy elements are effective everywhere, and it is an animation that you can enjoy the story to the fullest. A masterpiece that can definitely be recommended. This work is a science fiction adventure mystery with a strong original element. The stage is 2063 AD. The main character is Kanata Hoshijima, a high school student. Nine of them will participate in a planetary camp that says, "In the wilderness, students spend five days alone." However, in the wake of something, everyone is thrown into space and is in distress. They board a spaceship that they find by chance and gradually embark on a journey to their hometown. Then, they gradually realize that the distress was not an accident but a deliberate cause, and they unite while colliding. Will they be able to return to their hometown? The difficult words in this work are at the high school level, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. This is a really interesting work, so definitely take a look. Also, the first person of Ruka Esupojito is "Oira". Only anime characters use this first person these days, so don't emulate it. In addition, he adds "~ ssu" to the end of the word. This is the youth language of "desu" and "masu". "-Ssu" is translated as "-desu" and "-suka" is translated as "-?". This is a honorific word, but it's a word that some people find unpleasant, so don't use it.9.5888.58136.8 =159 terms / 14 episodes * 12th grade

The story of "Fire Force," which is full of originality, begins when a boy who longs for a hero more than anyone else is assigned to a special fire brigade. His name is Shinra Kusakabe. He is a boy who blames himself for the fire that his mother and his brother died, and is accused of being a devil, but never forgets his straight heart. In this world, people are afraid of the "flame bite" phenomenon in which humans suddenly ignite. Then, the special fire brigade pursues the mystery of "Flame Bit" and uncovers the truth of the fire that robbed Shinra's family. The charm of this work is, of course, the human nature of the character. Even a superior called a captain is not perfect but full of humanity. The Japanese level of this work is advanced. There is a wide range of difficult words at the level of college students and working adults. Manga and anime are popular with teens, but 20s may not find it interesting.

He is the number one psychic in the school city, but because of his strength, he rejects others and has some evil points. Therefore, this work can be said to be a dark hero. He was injured and hospitalized after saving "Last Order" in one incident. He is so kind to the Last order, he cares about something and cherishes it. However, he learns of some plans for the "Last Orders" to be used and tries to resolve them. Aiho Yomikawa, who appears in the first episode of this work, ends with "-ja" and "-jan". Never emulate this. Japanese has the ending "-jan", which means to make a strong assertion, and is often used by young people. However, Aiho has almost all endings with "jan" or something similar, which is unnatural. In addition, various difficult words such as difficult words unique to the work, terms of battle, terms related to spirits appear in this work. These correspond to the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate is high. And since the characters are called by something like a code name, it is very difficult to remember. Even as a native Japanese, it took me a long time to understand difficult words and names. It is not recommended to study Japanese with this because it is an Extreme level Japanese difficulty work.88877182.4 =136 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

The travel companion is Risutarute, the goddess of healing. She was frustrated by Seiya, who was too cautious, but she was treated nicely, not against his cool face and sex appeal. It was a party that was enthusiastic about increasing the number of friends and defeating the Demon King, but in reality, Seiya and Risutarute had a very heavy secret ...! Since this work is from a different world, the appearance rate of difficult words at the level of college students and working adults who do not usually use it is high. This work is for the ultimate level learners who have strong confidence in Japanese. The combination of a stupid and erotic goddess and a cautious hero creates a unique and rhythmic comedy.

Will the after-school tea time people who bring their guitars to overseas trips make their debut in London? ?? People living in London speak English during the film. There are scenes where Yui sees a foreigner in front of her and only looks at her stomach, or is surprised at the height of her foreigner. This is a real Japanese feeling. We are always surprised or atrophied by being tall to you. Then I panic and I can only say "yes" like Yui. If you come to Japan and see a Japanese who is impatient like Yui, please understand that there is no malice. In addition, difficult words are only words used in daily life and are at the high school level. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work is recommended for basic level learners. This is a recommended teaching material that is easy to understand, as there are many word-only conversations. I want you to see this work. In addition, only some of the real high school students in Japan who have money can go on a graduation trip. Among them, there are not many high school students who can go abroad. Only this point is fiction. It is a K-ON movie animation provided by stable Kyoto Animation. A heart-warming story that highlights the short time they graduate from high school. If you watched K-ON's first and second seasons, you will surely be satisfied. There is no need to explain the greatness of drawing and music. From the viewpoint of learning Japanese, the appearance rate of difficult words is low, so it can be said that it is a good teaching material that even beginners can watch without subtitles.898.58.5860 =25 terms / 5 episodes * 12th grade

And, as the title suggests, this work features characters from Chunibyo. Therefore, difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate is high. Moreover, even if you study and understand the difficult words, there are many words that you do not use in your daily life, such as "awakening," "dark dragon," and "contraindications." At least as a native Japanese, I have never used these difficult words in my daily life. Learners who can recommend this work are also for those who have strong confidence in Japanese. However, for those who want to enjoy the cuteness of Rikka Takanashi drawn with the highest quality drawing power, the difficulty of Japanese is irrelevant. Anyway she is very cute!!8109.588228.8 =57 terms / 4 episodes * 16th grade

Who does Kyousuke, who is popular for some reason, choose? There is a story about Kyousuke and others stepping into Saori Vageena's house, and there is a fight between Manami Yamamura and Kirino, so for the learners who were watching the previous work, the charm of the character can be reconfirmed. There are a wide variety of difficult words such as otaku terms, younger's words, and publishing terms, but the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, so it is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. Anyway, Kuroneko and Ayase are so cute, I want you to know their charm. The additional three episodes are stories that seriously portray extremely sensitive issues. I would like to give praise to the production team who made this additional episode into a scenario and visualized it.8976.5876.8 =102 terms / 16 episodes * 12th grade

732482. Ultimate2. N1++2013Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy23---Strike the Blood is a spectacular work with splatter scenes, sexy scenes, and comedy, but it is for people who have a strong confidence in Japanese. This is because difficult words at the level of working people and specific experts appear frequently. In particular, there are many difficult words specific to the work from the first episode. Even I, a native Japanese, had a hard time understanding this work. If you want to see this work, we recommend that you first understand the difficult words specific to the work and the names of the main characters before watching it. Especially at the beginning of the first episode, there are many lines that are difficult to hear, and there are some parts that I do not understand, so please listen carefully. Let's explain the story. Kojyou Akatuki becomes the fourth true ancestor of the legendary world's strongest vampire. Although he is not a very dangerous person, it is true that he is the fourth ancestor. Therefore, Yukina Himeragi will be dispatched from the Lion King Organization, and Kojyou Akatuki will be monitored. The Fourth Genso has emerged at a turning point in history and has been targeted by various institutions because it has caused slaughter and destruction called "holy mourning." He awakens the beast that is summoned from another world, sucks the blood of a woman, and fights as the fourth true ancestor. What is the meaning of the existence of the Fourth Genso, the significance of his fighting, and the Holy Spirit? This is a work that can be enjoyed as a mystery.6.588.56.57248 =283 terms / 23 episodes * 20th grade

As the title suggests, this work will hold a national high school mahjong tournament, so there are more mahjong scenes than previous works, so many mahjong terms will appear. As for the evaluation of anime, it is a little uninteresting like the previous work. I wanted the character to be a little more attractive and cute. While the miniskirt production is still alive, the service scene has decreased. Mahjong's drawing production is good, but the drawing of everyday scenes is at an average level. The songs are also average level. Overall, the evaluation that the first work was better.6.576.56.57195.2 =195 terms / 16 episodes * 16th grade

And Mirai and Akihito face their weaknesses again and grasp their "future". Difficult words still have fantasy terms, but they are at the high school level. If you are an intermediate level Japanese learner, you can watch it without subtitles. However, you must watch the TV series in advance.

Yuuichirou Hyakuya, who was in the orphanage, is kidnapped by a vampire with the children of the orphanage on the day the adults die. One day, Yuuichirou, whose companion was killed, escapes from the underground city of the vampire castle and meets Guren Ichinose. Yuuichirou joins the vampire annihilation unit and prepares to avenge the enemy. However, Yuuichirou is an experimental body of a certain research, and contrary to his own thoughts, he is involved in the battle for hegemony. Many of the difficult words in this work are military terms and spiritual terms, and the difficulty level of Japanese is at the level of college students and working adults. However, the appearance rate of difficult words is low for the genre of the work, so intermediate level Japanese learners will enjoy it. The story is not a simple human VS vampire battle, but a very interesting content that includes political faction conflicts and human conspiracy theories. As for the characters, Shino's cute appearance and quirky way of speaking are attractive, and the friendship between the protagonists who became vampires is also very interesting. Although it is only 2D, the level of drawing of action scenes is quite high, and the drawing ability will increase in the latter half. In summary, the evaluation of this work is that it is surprisingly interesting.8.587.57.5792.8 =138 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

However, since the content is omitted considerably, there are some parts that people who have not watched the main story do not understand. If possible, it would be easier to understand if you look at this work after seeing the main story. Although there are fantasy terms such as "Hanyo" in difficult words, they are at the high school level. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, it is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. The main characters speak normally, so it's recommended for both emulation and listening. Akihito Kanbara is a hanyo born between humans and youkai. Mirai is an alien worldman who subdues Youmu and earns a living, and tries to defeat him. But for that reason she can't kill him.

912322. Ultimate2. N1++2016Action/Battle37---Bungo Stray Dogs is insanely funny. Anyway, it's funny. It is an anime in which famous literary masters from all over the world fight against each other as characters with different abilities. Since the character settings are based on real people, the strange realism and originality of different abilities are very interesting. Also, not only the characters but also the dramatic story that accompanies the conflict between the organizations is interesting. In addition, comedy, which is sometimes inserted into a serious, one-sided, heavy story, provides the viewer with exquisite comfort. Furthermore, at an extremely high level, the animation that supports these with drawing and background images is excellent. In particular, the background paintings are made very carefully in every detail, creating a realistic view of the world. Looking at the title, it doesn't look interesting, but it's a very interesting work. Highly recommended. I will explain the details. This is a battle animation with different abilities, and each character is modeled on a literary master from all over the world, mainly Japan. The main character is Nakajima Atusi. He was really good at my novels, so it's perfect for the main character! The story begins when he meets Dazai Osamu, who has a suicidal habit. In fact, Dazai is a core member of the "Armed Detective Agency" that solves cases that the military and police have also stumbled upon. Members of this detective agency have different abilities. The power protects the peace of the town, but the mafia is the number one enemy. Conflicts between organizations and their past are one of the highlights of this story. In addition, the characters' slight lines, abilities, and everyday life are reminiscent of real literary masters, so it is interesting and intimate. For example, Edgar Allan Poe, an American poet and novelist famous for the world's first detective novel, The Murders in the Morg Street. He also appears in this work, but he has a raccoon. This is because Poe has a raccoon in the movie "The Raven's Last Five Days." And Dazai's suicide habit is also a real story. There are many other points like this, so please look for them. However, since the character is a literary master, many sentences are displayed during the work. If you don't understand this, the fun will be halved. Therefore, this work is for people who are very confident in Japanese. Besides, they use difficult words. Difficult words have a high appearance rate at the university student / worker level. However, this work is extremely interesting as an animation, so you should forget about learning Japanese and enjoy it purely. Brilliant work!

Because this work is one of the "Story Series", and there are many lines anyway. In addition, some characters like tongue twisters and difficult words, so the appearance rate of difficult words is very high at the university student / worker level. Even I, a native Japanese, sometimes dislike watching. The story is as unique as ever. The main character is Koyomi Araragi. Mysterious events are likely to occur around him, and he is always in trouble. He finally graduated from high school, but this time he is trapped in the world of mirrors. In that world, Mayoi Hachikuji, who should be an elementary school student, is 21 years old, and her sister, who should be taller than Araragi, is small. How can he return to the original world? He also uses his thoughts and connections to put an end to the story. It is a "Story Series" that has a wonderful world view and story as usual. Both drawing and sound production are unique and unique, and many female characters with various personalities will appear. Still, everyone is very cute and attractive. Insanely recommended!

Therefore, this work is for advanced level Japanese learners. And in this work, a conversation about the mechanism of online games comes out from the first episode. Learners interested in online games will understand. Also, Kirito and Asuna speak normally, so they are also suitable for emulating Japanese.

Even if you read the synopsis of each story, you will not understand the meaning unless you understand the difficult words unique to the work. In addition to that, this work has many noisy difficult words and is not used in daily life, so learning is a low priority. In addition, all characters speak with their own personality.

Moreover, the JR Hokkaido sleeper limited express "Express Hamanasu", which ended operation in 2016, will also appear with a detailed background. "Express Hamanasu" is the last sleeper express in Japan, so it's a very valuable scene. There is no other "Express Hamanasu" drawn in such detail. What's more, it's already out of service when this film is shown, so imagine how amazing it is. By the way, the name of JR Hokkaido appears on the end roll, so please look for it. However, since this anime is based on the theme of Chuni-byou, Rikka's way of speaking is not suitable for emulation or listening. Since she likes difficult words, her difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults, and her appearance rate is high.

However, since difficult words are at the junior high school level, intermediate level learners can watch them. Maybe it will be very studying.

In addition, since it deals with current affairs and incidents in Japan, it is a work that is difficult to understand rather than difficult for learning Japanese. In addition, this work has different voice actors for each part, and you can ad-lib as much as you want. That's why it's interesting, but on the other hand, the range of difficult words at the university student / worker level is wide, and the appearance rate is high.

Also, if you like Japan, you will surely enjoy the character design, background paintings, and accessories that are studded with the goodness of Japanese culture. However, many of the difficult words in this work are a little old, and are at the level of college students and working adults. The level of learning Japanese corresponds to advanced level. In addition, many grotesque scenes and characters appear in this work, so it is not appropriate to use this animation for learning Japanese.

Moreover, even a multinational volunteer army appears, and Tanya falls into a pinch of desperation. Will her dream of living behind her come true? This work is a war animation. The words spoken by the characters are all about military terms and tone, so listening is difficult and not suitable for emulation. Occasional telops were displayed only for a short time, and even I, a native Japanese, could not read them in many cases. Japanese learners who like dark fantasy and war stuff will enjoy it with subtitles. This is because even native Japanese people have a hard time, so many difficult words at the level of college students and working adults are used in this work. As for the work evaluation, like the anime version, it has an intensely interesting world view and story. The theme song is the same as the anime, and the climax sound effect is also wonderful.

Ai Tanabe gets a job in space and is assigned to the debris section that collects debris. Since people collect debris, it is a life-threatening task. The encounter with Hachirota Hoshino, a senior with such a dangerous job, was the worst. The two were almost always in conflict, but gradually they began to recognize each other. When each other begins to feel special, a moon incident occurs. People from various countries appear in this work, but the company itself is a Japanese organization. Especially in one episode, there is a scene where Rabii complains about the order of greetings to Ai. This is very important in Japan. In Japan, there is a tendency for great people to come first, but greetings from new graduates are especially important. I want you to remember this too (although this trend is becoming obsolete in Japan these days, it still exists as an important implicit rule in older companies and organizations).

You can enjoy this work without knowing the "Fate" series, but since there are many characters from the "Fate" series, those who know it will be able to enjoy this work more. The main character is Illyasviel von Einzbern, an elementary school student. When she is in the bath, she is suddenly turned into a magical girl by a talking magic wand. Illya will collect the class card with Rin Tousaka, the original owner of the wand. However, the class card is a card with the power of the spirit, and she must fight and win the spirit in order to recover it. Illya goes into a tough battle with Miyu Edelfelt, who also became a magical girl. The story of this work is simple, but there are many difficult words such as old words and combat terms, and it is at the level of college students and working adults. I didn't think it was interesting until I watched "Fate / kaleid liner Prisma Illya". This was a big mistake. It's really interesting! The story and world view are designed with high precision, while incorporating excessively interesting elements such as comedy, seriousness, friendship, and Yuri. The drawing level will be a masterpiece from the middle episode. Super recommended!8586.58155.2 =97 terms / 10 episodes * 16th grade

It's a work that I want you to see without shy away from the title. The point is the beginning of the story. Hikiomori gamer Takuma Sakamoto has been summoned to another world by an elf and a leopard girl. It's still what he did in the MMORPG until he was so scared that he was called a devil. He is called Diavro. Not knowing how to talk to others (especially women), he "commands" them as the only in-game self, "Demon King Diavro," who was in contact with others! This work is a different world animation, and you can enjoy eroticism, comedy, and battle. However, the difficult words that appear are wide-ranging, such as game terms, idioms, and combat terms, and are at the level of college students and working adults. Moreover, because the appearance rate of difficult words is high, this work is for people who are confident in Japanese. Also, Diavro is an arrogant wording, so don't emulate it.

It's the Japanese horror novel "Ring." This is a very famous work in Japan and has been made into a movie. The ghost "Sadako" that appeared in the "Ring" has become synonymous with horror in Japan. "Sadako" is a woman with long black hair and pale skin. Therefore, a black-haired woman with an insidious impression is called "Sadako" and may be bullied. The main character of this work, Sawako Kuronuma, is one of them. Anyway she resembles her name "Sadako". What's more, she is a beautiful woman with long black hair and pale skin.

One day she hears that her friends aren't doing well, and she puts on the striker unit again. And again, the hot battles and fun days with the members of her troops begin. The difficult words in this work are all about military and combat. Therefore, difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults. Advanced level Japanese learners will enjoy this work, but the priority of learning is low because of the difficult language genre. In addition, the character of this work is modeled on a real person who was active in the world war. Although all of them are female characters, there are some parts that are shared with the modeled person, such as personality, heavy equipment used, and common name. If you are interested in history, I encourage you to take a closer look. Then you will be able to enjoy this work more. By the way, in this work, the Japanese battleship Yamato does not sink, and it is set to be active. Many ships and planes were active during the war, so learners who like military stuff should take a look at this work. The engine sound of the fighter is also real. Also, Perrine-H. Clostermann uses the words of a bossy lady, so it's not suitable for emulation. Female learners of Japanese should be careful, as Mio Sakamoto, Gerhard Barkhorn, and Charlotte E Yeager use male language. Yoshika Miyahuji is a normal way of speaking, so it is suitable for both emulation and listening.788.56.58131.2 =98 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

However, Mizure is worried that Nozomi will disappear again. The two project their days into the story of the theme song "Liz and the Blue Bird" and laugh as if they were themselves.

In particular, her chatter may be a mixture of ad lib, imagination, and true stories, so this work is for people who are confident in Japanese.7.56767183.6 =183 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

66964. Advanced4. N2-N12002Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance1---"Voices of a Distant Star" is a science fiction romance animated film. This is a work that depicts the ultra-long-distance relationship between the universe and the earth. Mikako Nagamine and Noboru Teruo, who are in the third year of junior high school, were attracted to each other. However, their desire to "go to high school together" does not come true. Mikako was selected as a member of the United Nations Space Force's Tarsian Survey Team. Tarsian is an extraterrestrial intelligent life that suddenly appeared in 2039, and became an enemy of humankind when NASA's research team was destroyed. Mikako goes on a dangerous journey, and she contacts Teruo from space via an ultra-long-distance email service. However, as she moves farther from Earth, it takes longer for her emails to make a round trip, and her relationship with Teruo gradually diminishes. Will the email from Mikako, who has moved eight light-years away after the battle with Tarsian begins, reach Noboru? There are astronomical terms in the difficult words of this work, but the appearance rate is normal at the high school level. This work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, but since the characters speak a little faster, I would like you to concentrate on listening to the lines. And since this work has many emails, it is even better if you have Japanese reading comprehension. Also, the background of this work is quite real, such as the streets and schools of Japan, so people who like Japan will enjoy it.7.557.57696 =8 terms / 1 episodes * 12th grade

This work has detailed settings, and there are too many scene changes that ignore the time series, so even I, a native Japanese, could not understand it well. Difficult words are at the high school level, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Since the main characters of this work are people living in the underworld, many difficult words are yakuza words and noisy words.

A cute character design that does not make you feel old, stable drawing, OP with high performance output and melodious theme song are a must listen. The main character is Kouhei Hasekura. He moved to Shuchikan Gakuin from the second year of high school. Soon after, Kouhei witnesses the student council president, Iori Sendou, sucking blood from the schoolgirl's neck. Kouhei interpreted this as a mischievous Iori prank, but in fact Iori was really a vampire! Kouhei can't hide his upset when he finds out that Iori's younger sister Erika, who Kouhei was concerned about, is also a vampire. Kouhei, who joined the student organization while being invited by Iori, is selected as the executive committee chairman of the athletic festival. Why is Kouhei so fond of Iori? It was because there was a secret in his blood. In addition to sports festivals, this work gives a glimpse of Japanese school events such as pool opening and school festivals. The difficult words in this work are school terms in addition to everyday terms, so it will be a particularly good teaching material for students learning Japanese. This work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners.7.588.57.57105.6 =105 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

As you can see, many of the difficult words in this work are used infrequently even in everyday terms. What's more, it has difficult terms such as police terms, criminal terms, yakuza terms, and military terms. The difficult words in this work are at the level of college students and working adults. The Japanese level of this work will be advanced, but Japanese learners who like anime should see this work even with subtitles. The main character of this work is 16-year-old Narumi Fujishima. He is enrolled in a gardening club by Ayaka Shinozaki, whom he met at the high school he was transferred to. Then, he reunites with NEETs hanging out at a ramen shop where Ayaka works part-time. They were part of the NEET detective agency created by what is commonly known as Alice. Narumi regains herself by meeting them and is involved in the incident that comes to them. This work is not only a mystery anime, but also a story of Narumi's growth. In particular, he stopped being deeply involved with people for some reason. Such a person does not have a chance to grow. But he strives to grow himself. You will sympathize with that. For Japanese analysis, Alice likes very difficult words and phrases. Min, a ramen shop, uses men's language even though she is a woman. Military geek Hitosyi Mukai sometimes uses military language. They are not suitable for emulation. Although it is a minor work, I highly recommend "Heaven's Memo Pad", which has a scenario that many viewers praise.9.578.578152 =113 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

At the same time, the love they hold falls in an unexpected direction, and the friendship they have fostered breaks down. Since this work is famous for the original game, some people may refuse to watch it just by looking at the title. However, "White Album 2" is a very memorable work. Although the work is a little old, the difficult words used are at the high school level, and only the words used in everyday life.

Most of the difficult words are everyday terms, so it is recommended for basic level learners. However, the content and drawing are a little scary. Because this work is a work that depicts the depression of the adolescent mind. The drawing is quite realistic, and you can get a good idea of ​​the streets, schools, and facial expressions of Japan. The main character of this work is Takao Kasuga, a second-year junior high school student. He admires the French poet Charles Baudelaire, and "Flowers of Evil" is the bible. Therefore, French words often come out of his thoughts. Such a serious man is thinking about his classmate Saeki Nanako. One day, Takao, who is alone in the classroom, steals Saeki's gym clothes. The whole story was witnessed by Sawa Nakamura floating in the class. He was forced to submit by Nakamura. Their relationships roll in unexpected directions.

This work is a total of 7 episodes and exists as a continuation of the second season. However, there is nothing special just because it is an OVA, and dirty jokes are still a series of student organizations. Therefore, there are many prohibited terms for broadcasting, and the lines are only erased with a "beep". Japanese people can imagine what they are saying, but it is a difficult task for Japanese learners, so this work is for native Japanese people. It is impossible to learn Japanese using this work, and the Japanese that can be learned with this work is special (but it may be the most practical). Difficult words are everyday words, obscene words, and sexually conscious words, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high at the level of university students and working adults. There is no particular story in this work, but you can enjoy the members of the summer student organization. In summer, it can't be helped if dirty jokes are fully open!

The original is a romance game, so the title is "Girl Friend Beta", but this anime version is a heartwarming work that describes the daily lives of high school girls. Therefore, it is a work that both men and women can enjoy with peace of mind. In addition to everyday terms, many of the difficult words in this work are school terms and old words, which are at the high school level. Due to the high appearance rate of difficult words, this work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. However, the characters appearing in this work speak slowly as a whole. Therefore, this work is very suitable for listening. Kokomi Shiina can use honorifics for senior students well and speaks women's language, so it is also suitable for emulation. Chloe Lemer is an international student from France, and she has a strong habit of speaking Japanese. This is due to the prejudice that foreigners who come to Japan usually have such intonation, but in fact many foreigners speak with such intonation. Japanese learners should be careful because her way of speaking is not suitable for emulation. This work has no particular story, so it is suitable for learning slowly.

You can enjoy this work even if you haven't seen "Strike Witches", but if possible, you should know more about the characters to enjoy this work. "Strike Witches" depicts the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, and this work is the story of the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing. In chronological order, this work is between the first and second seasons of "Strike Witches." The members of "Brave Witches" are also modeled on real people who were active in World War II. Japanese learners who are interested in history should check it out. Then you will find that a little anecdote, the name of the striker unit, etc. is real. This work is a story of girls fighting against the human enemy "Neuri". The main character, Hikari Karibuchi, was quite a dropout compared to her sister Takami. However, Hikari did not give up, and after her twists and turns she was assigned to the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing. She vows to be her full-fledged witch here. This work is military. For this reason, most of the difficult words are military terms and combat terms, and military terms are sometimes used as the way of speaking. The difficult language of this work is at the university student / worker level. Naoe Kanno uses men's language and her first person is "Ore". Aleksandra Ivanovna Pokryshkin uses women's and honorifics properly, so I encourage her to use them for both emulation and listening. Edytha Rossmann also uses pretty women's language, which makes it suitable for both emulation and listening. Georgette Lemare also speaks women's, but she speaks a little less confident. She wants you to feel the difference between Edytha Rossmann and Georgette Lemare. Sadako Shimohara basically uses honorifics, so it is suitable for both emulation and listening. Gundula Rall is usually a military language, so she is neither emulated nor listening. Waltrud Krupinski uses unisex Japanese, but in addition to her annoying way of speaking, her first person is "Boku", which makes her suitable for listening but not for emulation. Nikka Edvardine Katajainen and Hikari are normal speaking styles, so they are good for emulating and listening, but they are childish. As usual, the action scene is wonderful, so I recommend it to Strike Witches fans.788.57.58160 =129 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

The difficult words are at the level of college students and working people, where military terms, political terms, and police terms frequently appear. In addition, the appearance rate of difficult words is high, and this work is for people who are confident in Japanese. Also, all military personnel, including Sakuma, have a military tone, so they are not suitable for emulation or listening.

Are only a few online words, and most of them are everyday and youth languages. These are high school level, so this work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners.

He was confessed to Ako in the same guild and married in-game. But he tried not to think that Ako was real but female. One day, the members of their guild held their first offline meeting. The offline meeting reveals that Ako is really a woman, she is absent from school, and everyone is in the same high school. They set up an internet game club to cure Ako's refusal to attend school and her inability to distinguish between the internet and the real world. This work is drawn for people who like internet games. Therefore, it firmly holds down the points to be noted when playing Internet games. In particular, it is highly commendable that it depicts social problems that occur in the real world, such as the distinction between the Internet and the real world, and account hacking. The title is terrible, but the story isn't surprisingly bad. It's interesting.7776.5769.6 =69 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Many thoughts and events similar to Shinto and State Shinto appear in this work. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are at the level of college students and working adults. Since the number of Japanese people who use Shinto terms is limited, this work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, and the priority of learning is low. However, the work itself has extremely nice elements: story, sound effects, and emotions, so it is highly recommended to watch it purely as an animation.

79265.62. Ultimate2. N1++2017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---The main character of "Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor" is the bastard Glen Radars. He will work as a part-time lecturer at the Arsano Imperial Magic Academy, a state-owned magician training school. However, he was so unmotivated that his lessons were all self-study. Sistina-Fiebel, a student who was numb to him, applied for a duel. It was a duel that the teacher seemed to win, but he revealed that he could only use magic at the amateur level. Glenn was hated by the students, but he gradually became motivated by knowing the feelings of the students. At the same time, a magical association hostile to the government attacks the academy. The Japanese of this work is high to the ultimate level, so let's enjoy using subtitles. Difficult words are fantasy terms, everyday terms, younger's words, and difficult phrases that are at the level of college students and working adults. And the appearance rate of difficult words is also high. By the way, the uniform design is wonderful (laughs)7.59878265.6 =199 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

74150.44. Advanced4. N2-N12017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy5---This work is a movie version of "The Irregular at Magic High School". The timeline of the story is between the A and B parts of the 11th episode of "The Irregular at Magic High School season 2", so you need to look at the second season before watching this work. During spring break and vacation in the Ogasawara Islands, Tatuya is convened by the military. The asteroid is so likely to hit Earth that the army orders Tatuya to destroy the asteroid with a material burst. Meanwhile, in the Ogasawara Islands, escapees from the naval base were hiding in the plane on which Miyuki and his colleagues boarded. The escaper is a girl who calls herself Cocoa. She was one of the Navy-developed Meteorite Fall experimental bodies. They ask Miyuki and others for help as they gradually lose their ego due to the aftereffects of the experiment. The difficult language of this work is at the university student / worker level. Difficult words are often military terms and the priority of learning is low, but advanced level Japanese learners should be able to understand this work without subtitles.7.5886.57150.4 =47 terms / 5 episodes * 16th grade

72281.61. Impossible1. N1+++2017Sci-Fi/Fantasy5---"Genocidal Organ" is a science fiction anime, but if you are not good at it, stop watching it because there are scenes where a lot of people die. This work requires native Japanese proficiency in Japanese, so learning is a low priority. The world of this work has a strict personal information management system and is polarized into developed countries that are fighting the threat of terrorism and developing countries that are rampant in slaughter due to civil war and ethnic conflict. The United States, which takes the situation of developing countries seriously, establishes a new intelligence army and begins collecting information on each country and assassinating war criminals. The main character, Captain Clavis Shepherd, is ordered to assassinate John Paul, who is instigating the slaughter in the underdeveloped country. He starts by watching John's dating Luzia Scroup to grab John's tail. However, he likes Luzia. John then outsmarted and captured Clavis and taught Clavis about the "organs that govern the slaughter." This work is full of political, military, and police terms. Even the everyday terms used in this work are difficult. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high.87867281.6 =88 terms / 5 episodes * 16th grade

722522. Ultimate2. N1++2017Comedy, Romance2---There are things that are unbelievable in the world. That is, the movie "Seitokai Yakuindomo" has been made. Like the TV anime version, this movie version does not change to the style of broadcasting some short stories. The content changes steadily. The student organization members are busy with TV coverage coming to the school, suggesting requests from students to the teacher, and new teachers coming. Still, the synonym for this work, "darty joke", is still alive! The difficult words in this work are still obscene words and words that make you conscious of sex. The appearance rate of difficult words is very high, and this work is for people who have strong confidence in Japanese. The fun of darty joke is still very good. I can't say it in a loud voice, but it's a recommended movie (laughs)5.578.578252 =42 terms / 2 episodes * 12th grade

70180.83. Extreme3. N1+2017Action/Battle12---There are many work-specific words, combat terms, old phrases, and swordsmanship terms, and few common everyday terms appear. Also, many of the main characters prefer old words and phrases, which makes them unsuitable for emulation. "Armed Girl's Machiavellism" has a high rate of appearance of difficult words at the level of college students and working adults, and requires Japanese proficiency at an advanced level or higher. If you want to watch this work, we recommend using subtitles. The story is a school battle, so it's easy. Most of the students who move in here are problem children. It is the heroines of this work, "Tenka-Goken," who correct them by force. They are sword users and very strong. However, the upcoming transfer student Fudou Nomura was not straightforward. He is an influential person who can fight with no hands and can fight with "Emperor" in addition to "Tenka-Goken". Powerful girls have cute faces that do not match their abilities, and SILVER LINK's drawing ability that fully expresses its charm and fighting power can be evaluated.68867180.8 =135 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

One day Chron chases a cat and meets a man. He was a top-notch artist, but he left the band because he couldn't do more than his debut song. Chron can't help but worry about him. Is there anything she can do for him? This work is highly recommended for basic level Japanese learners. Difficult words are only simple everyday terms and are at the junior high school level. The appearance rate of difficult words is normal, and the way each character speaks is also normal, so it is suitable for both emulation and listening. This work cherishes the connection with people, so you will surely like this work.777.56.5652 =13 terms / 2 episodes * 8th grade

651444. Advanced4. N2-N12017Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---"Granblue Fantasy The Animation" is a fantasy work based on a social game for smartphones. The difficult words in this work have surprisingly few fantasy terms and many military terms. And there are many old words such as "sword handling" and "steering master" that are not usually used, and "epidemic" and "musician", and it becomes a college student / worker level. Advanced level Japanese proficiency is required (hence, learning Japanese in this work is a low priority). The main character, Guran, died by saving Ruria, who fled the empire. However, he is destined to be revived by the power of Ruria and cannot be separated from her. With Guran's buddy Bi and military officer Katalina, the four of them will escape and aim for the "Island of the Stars". However, the story is not well understood and not interesting. It might be interesting for those who played the original game.6.56866144 =116 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

67566. Basic6. N4-N32017Drama6---"Tsuredure Children" is a romantic comedy, but it progresses in an omnibus format where all the characters can be said to be the main characters. Therefore, many short stories are broadcast in one episode. Since the title is sandwiched between the short stories, the breaks in the story are easy to understand. The content is interesting about the frustration and encounters of men and women in love, and the existence that interferes with love. The difficult words in this work are only younger's words and everyday terms, and are at the junior high school level. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work is recommended for basic level learners. Since various characters appear in this work, it is possible to see Japanese schools from various angles. This work is especially recommended for learners who are interested in Japanese student life. Also, since the main part is about 13 minutes, it is recommended for those who want to learn Japanese little by little, and it is also effective for reviewing Japanese.775.56856 =42 terms / 6 episodes * 8th grade

63166.83. Extreme3. N1+2017Drama12---"ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept." is an ensemble drama set in the fictional Kingdom of Dower. The main character is the Inspector General of ACCA, a national administrative agency that owns police, fire departments, and medical institutions. One day, the main character, Gene Otas, was told to abolish the Inspector General. However, he uncovered injustice with his credit, and the Inspector General's survival is decided. At the same time, Grossular, who was an abolitionist of the Inspector General, distrusts Gene and orders the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office to investigate. Meanwhile, he works with Mauve to stop the coup. As you can see from the contents so far, this work is very political. Therefore, the difficult word of this work is at the high school level, but the appearance rate is high. The genres of difficult words include political terms, police terms, and everyday terms. This work is for people who are confident in Japanese.8665.56166.8 =166 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade
Tsurune
Tsurune

812083. Extreme3. N1+2018Drama13---"Tsurune" is an archery anime. Even if the bow is the same, unlike archery, a long Japanese bow is used. And since Kyudo is a martial art, there are many rules and technical terms. However, it is necessary to remember "quickness". This is explained in the work, but it's like Yips, where the bow can't reach the target because the bow is released quickly. The main character, Minato Narumiya, was quick to retire from Kyudo. However, his talent was remarkable and he loved Kyudo more than anyone else. With the encouragement of his surroundings and the encounter with Masaki Takigawa, he entered the high school archery club and made a fresh start for him. Although there were some conflicts in the Kyudo club, they deepened mutual friendship through training camps, etc., and faced the first match as a high school student. The difficult language of this work is at the level of college students and working adults. The difficult words in this work are archery terms, everyday terms, match terms, and youth words, and there is no time to list them. This work is for people who have a high appearance rate of difficult words and are confident in Japanese. However, there are many words that are worth remembering except for Kyudo and match terms, so please use subtitles well for learning. This is because the main theme of this work is Kyudo, which is a Japanese culture. In addition, since Kyudo is sometimes performed as a Shinto ritual, it is not uncommon in Japan to have an archery hall at a shrine. The reason is that the bow and arrow is believed to have the power to exterminate evil, and even today it is customary to decorate the house with "hamaya" sold at shrines as a lucky charm. Please see this work after knowing this. In addition, the students and Masaki Takigawa appearing in this work speak in a normal way, so they are suitable for both emulation and listening. Kaito Onogi speaks a little hard, but there are many men who speak this much. You don't have to emulate it, but let's listen.9.578.57.58208 =168 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

80163.23. Extreme3. N1+2018Action/Battle25---This work is a sword battle. The stage is a world where "Aradama", a strange monster, is ridiculous. Since "Aradama" can only be defeated by girls called "Toji", they belong to the special ritual riot police and are training at five junior and senior high schools nationwide. One day, Kanami Etou and Mai Yanase, who were selected for the prestigious match at the Origami family who control Toji, successfully win the match. Kanami falls in love with Hiyori Jyuujyou's sword and wants to play. Finally, that hope has come true, and Hiyori slashes at Yukari, the head of the Origami family, instead of Kanami. Instead of catching Hiyori, Kanami takes part in Hiyori's escape. In fact, Origami Yukari had "Aradama". Many of the difficult words in this work are unique to the work, as well as words related to swordsmanship, combat terms, names of swordsmanship schools, names of Japanese swords, and names of parts. There are many difficult words even in everyday terms, and difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Few Japanese people know the names of Japanese swords and schools. The priority of learning Japanese in this work is low. However, this work has a lot of Japanese swords, so it should be quite interesting for Japanese learners. A Japanese who has been learning old-fashioned swordsmanship for 10 years evaluates that the appearance of this work and how to hold and handle the sword are realistically depicted. I personally want to evaluate it as an anime. The 3D motion of the battle scene is a wonderful perfection, and the OP production in the latter half is very stylish. The parent-child love of the two heroines drawn from the front and back world views and the fellowship with Aradama bring moderate difficulty to the story composition and improve viewer satisfaction. It was good that the last was a Japanese way of ending.8.588.578163.2 =254 terms / 25 episodes * 16th grade

77785. Intermediate5. N3-N22018Horror/Suspence12---"Happy Sugar Life" is a work that depicts the horrifying madness of human beings that cannot be imagined from the title and image screen. I can't explain it any more because it's a spoiler. A wacky and creepy work that depicts anomalies born from the negative side of society. I am grateful for making me feel the world view and story of "intense" for the first time in a while. The difficult words in this work are at the high school level and the appearance rate is normal. The genre of difficult words is centered on everyday words and younger's words, and only a few police terms appear. Therefore, this work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. It's an anime that shoots through the middle of my strike zone. Super recommended!!!9767.5978 =78 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7988.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22018Drama13---"Uma Musume Pretty Derby" is a horse racing animation, but horses are anthropomorphized and live a life similar to humans. They are "Uma-Musume". Moreover, each Uma-Musume is modeled on an actual racehorse, and the content is fiction based on the true story of each racehorse. If you look at this work after knowing this, you will feel more intimate. However, some Uma-Musume are fictitious, and the live after winning is fiction. The main character is Special week. The story begins when she enrolls in Tresen Gakuen from Hokkaido. Toresen Gakuen is a training center for turning Uma-Musume into a racehorse. The training school in the animation is modeled on the actual Fuchu Racecourse, and not only the racecourse but also the cafeteria is drawn as it is. Special week is the same team as Silence Suzuka, which she admires, and fulfills her promise to "become the best Uma-Musume in Japan" with her mother. Horse racing terms appear in this work, but you can understand the meaning by watching the animation. Therefore, this work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. Other difficult words are at the high school level, where school and everyday terms make up the majority. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, I would like you to enjoy this work while learning. The original is a super popular smartphone game that has exceeded 10 million downloads. I have just raised Silence Suzuka to "A +".8887.5888.8 =95 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

73252.82. Ultimate2. N1++2018Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy25---The Japanese level of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" is extremely difficult. This is because the rate of appearance of difficult words at the level of college students and working adults is high. There are various genres of difficult words such as everyday words, younger's words, idioms, fantasy terms, four-character idioms, and chemical terms. Moreover, in this work, characters are often displayed on the screen. Let's enjoy this work with subtitles as a break from studying. The main character of this work suddenly dies and reincarnates in slime. The main character who became a slime meets a dragon named Verdola in the cave and receives the name of "Rimuru". Verdola was sealed by a brave man, so Rimuru decides to keep it in his stomach until the day it breaks. Rimuru then leaves the cave with the aim of breaking the seal on Verdola. Did you think that traveling alone with slime is the final episode? Please judge the correct answer after seeing this work! It's a story that adults can enjoy!8.57678252.8 =394 terms / 25 episodes * 16th grade

7139.66. Basic6. N4-N32018Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror/Suspence16---Surprisingly, the Japanese difficulty of "Angels of Death" is low, and as a result of Japanese analysis, it is an animation for beginners. However, it goes without saying that the genre of this work is psychological horror, so it is not suitable for learning Japanese. This work has many bloody and bizarre scenes, so learners who are not good at it should stop watching it. The main character is 13-year-old Rachel Gardner. She lost her memory and was wandering in a building. Among them, she is attacked by Isaac Foster, a man with a sickle. However, she later tried to escape from the building with Isaac Foster. This work is a mysterious story development because the main character has lost his memory. I expect the original game to be interesting, but my evaluation is that it is not good for anime.7.5677839.6 =52 terms / 16 episodes * 12th grade

7033.67. Beginner7. N5-N42018Comedy13---"Teasing Master Takagi-san" is for beginners learning Japanese. The main character of this work is a junior high school student, so the difficult language is at the junior high school level. The contents of difficult words are school terms and everyday terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. Therefore, I would like you to give priority to learning this work. The content is a junior high school classmate, depicting the interaction between Nisikata and Takagi, whose seats are next to each other. Takagi likes Nisikata, but he loves to make fun of Nisikata so he doesn't realize it. Nisikata also cares about Takagi. However, he is always enthusiastic about making fun of Takagi because he is teased by Takagi many times every day. Still, Nisikata is too straightforward to be teased by Takagi. It's embarrassing and nostalgic for such an exchange. The comedy level is the most interesting. Takagi is too cute. Recommended!6.575.57933.6 =54 terms / 13 episodes * 8th grade

The boarding school Dahlia Academy, located on an island between the Principality of East and West, is open to students from both countries. There are two student dormitories, the "Black Dog Dormitory (Black Doggy House)" for East Japan and the "White Cat Dormitory" for West Principality. At this school, students from two countries are in conflict with each other, and fights are constant every day. However, Romio Inuduka, the leader of the first year of high school in East Japan, was in love with Juliet Persia, the leader of the first year of high school in the Principality of West! Inuduka finally confesses to Juliet. Inuduka had been fighting her every day since she was in elementary school, so it was watery for Juliet, but she was attracted to his straightness and received her confession. However, the love between the two, who had to be ostensibly hostile, was a turbulent event. Reminiscent of "Romeo and Juliet," this love story is for people who are confident in Japanese. Difficult words are at the high school level, but the appearance rate of everyday terms, school terms, and terms related to battle is high. This work should be enjoyed purely as an animation (but not so interesting)686.56.57205.2 =205 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

However, she was summoned for no particular reason, and she doesn't know how to return Jyashin-chan to the demon world! This summon was an interest-oriented summon by Yurine! As a result, Jyashin-chan lives in Yurine's house. And Jyashin-chan tries to kill Yurine every day while eating with the demons who can go back and forth between the human world and the demon world! ?? This work is a black comedy about Jyashin-chan's daily life. Since this work is a comedy work, the appearance rate of difficult words at the high school level is high. In this work, there are many scenes of eating food, and the names of food appear in difficult words in addition to Makai terms, everyday terms, and youth languages. This work requires advanced level Japanese ability, but it has a wide range of difficult words because it is a comedy. Also, because Yurine speaks sloppyly, listening is also difficult. Moreover, it is not so interesting as an animation.5.564.567122.4 =122 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

905521. Impossible1. N1+++2019Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy2---I love the Girls und Panzer series and love it very much. Great characters and excellent tank action drawings, immersive artillery sounds and up-tempo music, and great friendship and sporting spirit. Explaining the greatness of this series, it seems unlikely that it will fit within the specified number of characters. By the way, "Girls und Panzer das Finale 2nd Season" is MX4D / 4DX by connecting episodes 1 and 2 of OVA, which is the final chapter of "Girls und Panzer". Naturally, the content is the same as the OVA. Momo Kawashima, a third-year student at Oarai Girls' Academy, did not have a university to go to. Therefore, the tank roads of Oarai Girls' Academy think about betting on the AO entrance exam by the tank road. Then, with Kawashima as the captain, he will participate in the Winter Track Cup on the Tank Road. Can Kawashima pass the university? This work still has many terms related to battle, military terms, and old words. Besides, this time the name of the food comes out. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are at the university student / worker level, and the number of difficult words is extremely large. Learning Japanese with this work is virtually impossible, so it's best to enjoy it with subtitles. In fact, Girls und Panzer is purely enjoyable as an anime!999.58.59552 =69 terms / 2 episodes * 16th grade

82145.64. Advanced4. N2-N12019Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy24---This work "Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld" is a sequel to "Sword Art Online: Alicization". Since there is no particular summary of the previous work, it is essential to watch the previous work in order to see this work. The main character, kirito, lost his right arm in a battle with the administrator and was cared for by Arisu in a state of mental loss. The two lived in hiding on the outskirts of the village of Lurid, but realized that the war between the human world and the Dark Territory was near, and went to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Asuna logs in to the Underworld to save Kirito and Arisu in the real world. The story moves greatly with the participation of Asuna, who became Stacia, the Goddess of Creation. The difficult words in this work are composed of fantasy terms and combat terms, so they are at the level of college students and working adults. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. Learning is a low priority given the tendency of difficult words, but there is no option not to watch the super-famous and popular series Sword Art Online.

792722. Ultimate2. N1++2019Drama, Horror/Suspence, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Since "In / Specter" is a mystery, most of the difficult words are related to mystery and police terms. In addition, the appearance rate of difficult words at the university student / worker level is high, and it is recommended only for the ultimate level Japanese learners. Before introducing this work, let's describe God in Japan. Japan is polytheistic. Long before Buddhism was imported, the Japanese believed in the existence of God. The idea is that God possesses things, nature, and some animals and must be cherished. This is called Tsukumogami. And there is also the existence of a god, and they are not possessed by things, but are like spirits in the West, and are in a higher position than the god who possesses things. And, the tsukumogami and gods sometimes change into youkai and mysteries, and sometimes youkai and mysteries become gods. I want you to know this. Also, this idea is now called Shinto. This idea was recognized as a religion only after Buddhism was imported. Please also be aware that before that it was just a habit and a custom. The content of this work is a style that solves a mysterious case. The main character is Kotoko Iwanaga. She was taken away by a mystery at the age of 11, and instead of losing her right eye and left leg, she became the god of wisdom of the mysteries. Therefore, she sees a mystery and solves the case for them. Her partner is Kurou Sakuragawa. He is afraid of mystery because of his existence, but he is relentlessly admired by Kotoko and is semi-forced to be involved in the case. The story is interesting like the "Story (Monogatari)" series, so it is recommended for content-oriented viewers.9877.58272 =203 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

In addition, the dance choreography is a fairly detailed animation, depicting the delicate movements of the fingertips and the bouncy hair. In addition, the production of camera work that moves around 360 degrees in all directions is a masterpiece. Dance scene animation is arguably the highest quality of any anime these days. Oops, I have to explain the synopsis and Japanese analysis. They decided to continue Aqours at the transfer school, but the new school building was an elementary school building that was no longer in use. Shizuma High School, the transfer destination, is a strong school for club activities. They found out that they couldn't practice Aqours' activities at the transfer destination, so they tried to show their abilities by performing a mini-live at the club activity briefing session. However, the live ends in a big failure. After that, they went to Venice! What a live performance of Aqours at Piazza di Spagna! ?? This crazy story should create an impression that only the viewer can understand. This work is recommended for basic level Japanese learners, so please use it as a teaching material. Since Yoshiko Shimadu is Chyuni-byou, fantasy terms appear in this work, but other difficult terms are high school level everyday terms. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, I would like you to give priority to using this work. This work is also recommended for those who want to learn Japanese by singing. I hope you enjoy their spectacular live performances.879.57.5760 =20 terms / 4 episodes * 12th grade

Also, Tanya and Roswar speak quirkyly, so don't emulate them. This work is for people who are confident in Japanese. But it's a lot of fun!87689180.8 =135 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

7281.65. Intermediate5. N3-N22019Drama5---"Her Blue Sky" is an animated movie recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. The main character is Aoi Aioi, a second-year high school student. She lost her parents at an early age and was raised by her sister Akane. Akane was a high school student at the time and she had a lover named Shinnosuke. She was supposed to go to a vocational school in Tokyo with Shinnosuke when Akane graduated from her high school, but she gave up her own dream to take care of Aioi. She reunites with Shinnosuke at a town event one day when Akane turns 31. At the same time, Aioi meets the spirit of Shinnosuke, a high school student. Aoi, who was practicing bass under the influence of Shinnosuke, had a longing for Shinnosuke, but at the age of 31, Shinnosuke had a personality far from what Aoi knew. While she wants her high school student Shinnosuke to disappear, Aoi has a dilemma of wanting her sister to be happy. On the other hand, Akane has a love for Shinnosuke, but Aioi was the most important. The difficult words in this work are all everyday terms, so it's at the high school level. I would like you to use this work as a Japanese teaching material. Also, if you look up the meaning of the saying, "井の中の蛙大海を知らず、されど空の青さを知る" it will be more fun to learn and watch.7.5787.5681.6 =34 terms / 5 episodes * 12th grade

Difficult words are at the junior high school level with only everyday terms. This work is recommended for basic level Japanese learners. This work has only one 30-minute animation, so you will surely be able to learn difficult words immediately.

6898.44. Advanced4. N2-N12019Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance25---"Fruits Basket 1st Season" is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, but I highly recommend this work to all level Japanese learners. You can see this even with subtitles. This is because this work gives a glimpse of Japanese culture that is not an anime. The first is about the zodiac. The zodiac refers to the 12 animals of "mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, un-monkey, rooster, tiger, and pig." In Japan, the zodiac is used to describe the year, and this is called the zodiac. For example, the zodiac in 2021 is the ox, and the year 2022 is the tiger. It goes around the zodiac in 12 years. 2021 is called the year of the ox, and it is auspicious by drawing it on a New Year's card or decorating the figurine of the ox. Therefore, the zodiac is originally auspicious. And there is a sad story in the zodiac. The cat was told a lie by the mouse and could not participate in the "Feast to decide the zodiac" sponsored by God. Before you watch this work, let's know this. The other is a culture unique to Japan that emphasizes family traits and customs. No matter how anachronistic you are, you will be taught strictly about the customs, thoughts, and family traits of the house. Even if it doesn't suit the times, the people at home cannot strongly oppose it. That is why when an influential person from the outside enters the house, the atmosphere changes at once, and the younger generation changes. This work clearly shows that. Yes, the person from the outside is Tooru Honda, the main character of this work. She lost her parents and eventually stayed in a camp. The place where she was camping was the site of a landowner named Souma. She is found in Sigure Souma and Yuki Souma and will live together. But they had a big secret that they couldn't tell. They are monsters of the zodiac, and when they are embraced by the opposite sex, they transform into animals. However, it was a testament to those who approached Souma's head, and promised the future. Therefore, they were danced by money and status, and while they wanted to get out of Souma, they lived in the conflict that they could not live a normal life with a cursed constitution. The existence of an honest girl named Tooru who appears there heals the wounds of their hearts. At the same time, she is noticed and hated by Souma's head. You may be confused by the unique Japanese setting that emphasizes family traits and customs, but this is also Japanese culture. Also, Tooru speaks only honorifics, making it suitable for both emulation and listening. Difficult words have a normal appearance rate at the high school level. The contents of difficult words are all used in daily life, so it will surely be a good teaching material.7.5686.5698.4 =203 terms / 25 episodes * 12th grade

The former magical girls were scattered all over the world. However, only five magical girls survived. One of them, Asuka Ootorii, retired from the magical girl and spent a normal high school life. She gradually became accustomed to normal life, while she was afraid of the peace that came at the expense of many. At that point, an incident occurred. Involving her friends, it was enough to bring her back to her magical girl. Reunited with her former comrades, she again relinquishes herself to the battlefield. However, unlike three years ago, the enemy this time was also targeted at humans. The difficult words in this work are mainly military and police terms and terms related to battle. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. "Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka" is for people who are confident in Japanese at an advanced level or above.6.56767192 =143 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

However, this work is a completely different story from "Z / X Ignition", so it is not a sequel. Three years ago on the time axis of this work, black points appeared in various parts of the world such as Tokyo. And each place was invaded by a strange monster called Zex. After that, the Armistice Treaty was signed, and a fleeting peace came to the earth. Then one day, the main character, Adumi Kagamihara, enrolls in Fuji Misaki Gakuen with a Zex named Rigel. However, Adumi is told by her companion Rigel that she "became a partner to monitor Adumi." What's more, she is attacked by an unidentified enemy as soon as she enters the school, and they are in a pinch of desperation. What is the purpose of this enemy and Rigel? This work is recommended for advanced learners, but many difficult words are combat terms and are a little old. Therefore, learning has a low priority.66767118.4 =88 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

64452.41. Impossible1. N1+++2019Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy3---"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!" Is a movie version produced after the second season anime. Since the main part of this work starts without any explanation, you can enjoy watching it after watching the anime version. The stage this time is Crimson Demon village. Kazuma and his colleagues hear that Crimson Demon village is on the verge of extinction and rush to Crimson Demon village. However, Crimson Demon village was safe ... Look forward to seeing what happened to the rumors that Crimson Demon village was on the verge of extinction, and what happened to Kazuma and Megumin who had to sleep on the same futon. However, this work requires the same Japanese ability as the native Japanese. Difficult words are high school-level younger's words and everyday terms, but the appearance rate of difficult words is incredibly high. Besides, the characters speak fairly quickly. Because it is a comedy work, the direction of conversation and the way of speaking change frequently. This work is not suitable for Japanese teaching materials, so it is best to enjoy it with subtitles. I would recommend it to KonoSuba fans.66767452.4 =113 terms / 3 episodes * 12th grade

One morning he was summoned to another world with all his classmates and his teacher and ended up fighting monsters. Even when he came to another world, he was given the weakest job of being a cultivator, but he still desperately resisted his destiny. However, he is pushed to the bottom of the abyss in the Orcus Great Labyrinth by the betrayal of his classmates. Besides, he lost his left arm. He devotes himself to breaking through the status quo as if he had changed, and he rises up. There are many fantasy terms in this work, and difficult words at the level of college students and working adults usually appear. "Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest" is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, but the priority of learning is low due to the genre of difficult words. In addition, the story is catastrophically uninteresting. Not really interesting. I am surprised that the second term will be produced. What a hell!4.56856123.2 =107 terms / 14 episodes * 16th grade

The setting is complicated even for me as a native Japanese. Difficult words are at the high school level, but the appearance rate is high, and the genre of difficult words is not constant. Therefore, this work is a little unsuitable for learning Japanese, so please enjoy it with subtitles. The main character of this work is a 12-year-old girl, Mileu. When she reincarnated, she asked God, "My ability is average." And yet she becomes a girl with cheat magical abilities! What's more, her reborn destination is the Viscount family! She wasn't normal at all and decided to run away from her house and live while hiding her power. She enrolls in a hunter training school in a provincial city and makes her friends.

Difficult words are school terms and everyday terms at the high school level, but the appearance rate of difficult words is high, and since this work is a gag anime, the characters speak quickly. In particular, Zenitu Agatuma needs to be careful when listening because the way he speaks changes.

Since there are a wide variety of old words, combat terms, younger's words, etc., it is at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Therefore, this work is not suitable for Japanese language teaching materials because it can only be recommended for the ultimate level Japanese learners. Learners who want to see this work will enjoy using subtitles. The content of this work is about a card-shaped learning device called "Daihasei Festival" and "Indian Poker", which are large-scale sports festivals held in the school city. Mikoto and his friends are still involved in the battle, so it doesn't look like a school. Especially this time, one of the level 5 Misaki Syokuhou erases the memory about Mikoto from Kuroko, Uiharu and Saten, so their friendship is also robbed. How Mikoto stands up from there and how to help them will be a big sight. The A Certain Scientific Railgun, which has the highest level of workmanship in all aspects of world view, character, drawing, background, music, and emotional level, is a very satisfying work (it seems that it is not popular overseas, but it is still very popular in Japan).9.51098.59233.6 =363 terms / 25 episodes * 16th grade

The second season of this work also maintains a high level of work quality. The difficult words in this work are diverse, including political terms, police terms, military terms, everyday terms, fantasy terms, and idioms. Therefore, the level of difficult words is at the level of working people and specific specialists, and the rate of appearance of difficult words is high. In the first season, if you have advanced level Japanese ability, you can watch without subtitles, but in the second season, you can not watch without subtitles if you do not have native Japanese Japanese ability. Forget about learning Japanese and enjoy this work as a pure animation with subtitles. The stage of this work is two months after the first season.

However, learners who are not good at the characteristic "expression" of this work should stop watching. This work has an advanced Japanese level. This work is a story of the "karma" of certain characters, and depicts the "haunting" and "group consciousness" that can be said to be Japanese culture. The story is set in Hinamizawa Village. It is a village surrounded by nature, and although there were plans to sink to the bottom of the dam in the past, the village was protected by the residents' movement. Keiichi Maebara moves from the city to such a village. However, he begins to suspect that Hinamizawa has some secret. He becomes unbelievable about his friends and is attacked by his classmate Rena Ryuuguu in suspicion. He managed to survive, but all he remembered was Rena, who scratched his neck. And the world repeats. It is recommended that you always look at the date when viewing this work. The difficult words in this work are not only everyday words, but also old and difficult words. In addition to that, police terms also appear, so the difficult words in this work are at the level of college students and working adults. Also, Satoko speaks the language of a young lady, so it is not suitable for emulation. Depending on how she speaks, she gives her character a personality. Rika is basically a honorific, but her first person is "Boku" and she often ends with "... desuyo". Don't emulate this. Keiichi speaks normally, so it's suitable for both emulation and listening. It's a blissful thing that my favorite "When They Cry" series has been animated again after 10 years! Anyway, I recommend it! Yeah? Forget about learning Japanese!9.5788.510139.2 =207 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

This work is a story of a battle for such a position zero. The stage of this work is a drama school. Here, a big stage is prepared every year, and the leading role of the year is decided by "review audition". The winner is the one who drops the opponent's coat while showing the skills of singing, dancing, acting, and martial arts in general. This time, the transfer student Hikari Kagura participated in the audition, and Karen Aijyou, who had fallen out, was also motivated. Who will take "Position Zero" and become a true "Top Star"! ?? This work is the movie version of the TV anime "Revue Starlight". This is a re-edited version of the anime, including a new cut. You can enjoy this work even if you are not watching the anime version. Although the words of the drama also appear, the difficult words of this work are basically everyday terms and school terms, so you can learn Japanese with confidence. This work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. It is an extremely excellent degree of perfection as an animation. A masterpiece of camera work. Drawing power that should be praised. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the highest quality. The presence and power of the performing arts, and the high singing ability of an actor rather than a voice actor are first-class products. In addition, the difficulty of the story is quite high, and the viewer is required to understand it. The composition in which reality and fiction weave the front and back through the drama is depicted dramatically and realistically. I'm looking forward to the third season as the sequel is expected to end. I highly recommend it because it is not a well-known work!988.58.5869.6 =29 terms / 5 episodes * 12th grade

In addition, since fantasy terms and younger's words are also used in this work, it is at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. To watch this work, you need to have an advanced level of Japanese ability. However, because it is a very popular work, it is better to forget about learning Japanese and enjoy it purely as an anime.997.58.59198.4 =308 terms / 25 episodes * 16th grade

Although Mare wins a four-year war, they witness the power of anti-giant weapons. From that, they learned that the Giants' superiority was being lost. Meanwhile, Eren crossed the sea and infiltrated Male. Since this work depicts the war between humans, there are many military terms, combat terms, and political terms. Many of the everyday terms used are difficult, so difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults. Moreover, the appearance rate of difficult words is high, and the priority of learning is low. Also, "Attack on Titan" has a lot of military language, so listening is difficult.

Therefore, the difficulty level of Japanese is at the level of university students and working adults, and the rate of appearance of difficult words is high. The Japanese level of this work is the ultimate. Those who are interested in this work should enjoy using subtitles. The stage of this work will start in 2019. Mankind had no choice but to deal with the enemy called "pillar" that suddenly appeared in the world. At the time of such desperation, the god named "Odin" bestowed "Valkyrie" and the spirit machine on humankind. The main character, Claudia Bruford, is one of the only nine named Valkyrie in the world and is an ace pilot. She was fighting in Europe, but one day she was asked to go to Japan. She was also called a "reaper" because her companions died when she sortie, and was treated as a nuisance, but not in Japan. The people at her Tateyama base welcomed her and accepted her. This work is an anime depicting air combat and friendship. In addition, the spirit machine that appears in this work is based on the actual fighter used in World War II. Famous items such as the P-51 Mustang, Spitfire, and BF109 will also be available, so those who like history will enjoy it more. The immersive battle scene is provided by praiseworthy high-level drawing and realistic gunshot and flight sounds. If you like character design and like air combat, I recommend watching it.789.57.57278.4 =208 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

Since the anime staff has changed significantly, you will get an overall different anime-like impression, including character design. However, the main axis of the story is the same as the previous two works. Yuu Takasaki and Ayumu Uehara, who happened to see school idols, are interested in school idols. And they revive the school idol club that was treated as a holiday. What is different from the previous works is that the main character does not become an idol and does not engage in group activities. Let's watch how the school idol club, which focuses on solo activities, will work. This work is one of the few works that can be recommended for basic level Japanese learners. Difficult words are at the high school level and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. Since difficult words are all everyday terms, this work is suitable as a Japanese teaching material. Moreover, Yuu and Ayumu are suitable for both emulation and listening. Unlike the enthusiastic popularity in Japan, the "Love Live!" Series is not popular overseas, but from the perspective of learning Japanese, this third season is also highly recommended. The beauty of the dance drawing and background painting in the live scene is of first-class quality. This alone is a series work that is well worth watching.77107745.6 =49 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

Therefore, difficult words have a wide variety of psychic, fantasy, combat, youth, and everyday terms. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are at the university student / worker level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. This work requires an advanced Japanese level or higher. Even if I am a native Japanese person, there are many difficult words and phrases when I see this work, so I have to concentrate on listening. This work has a low learning priority, so if you want to enjoy this work, we recommend subtitles. The main character is Yuji Itadori. He is a freshman in high school and has excellent physical abilities. One day he gets caught up in a spiritual battle and eats a ghost. And he is incarnated by the special spell Ryoumen Sukuna. Although he was marked by Jujutsu-shi, his high fighting power was not ignored. With that in mind, Satoru Gojyou decides to raise him at Jujutsu School. The battle between the spirits who are trying to make the human world ourselves and the Jujutsu-shi who are trying to protect humans begins. From a Japanese point of view, Yuji speaks so frankly that it is suitable for both emulating and listening as a conversation with his friends. Satoru Gojyou doesn't use honorifics older than him because he's perfect. Please understand strongly that this is an exception in Japanese society. The video animation is great and the occasional comedy is interesting, but the story and worldview didn't touch my chord.679.578187.2 =279 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

Ayame Himuro is a freshman in science and engineering. She fell in love with Shinya Yukimura in the same seminar in her same grade. She confesses to him, but she is asked, "What is the definition of love?" So they study for "confirmed evidence" that she likes him. There are so many characters and formulas in this work. Moreover, since all the characters that appear are majoring in science and engineering, there are many technical terms. Of course, the technical terms are explained in the work, but there are many parts that people in the humanities cannot understand. Still, you can enjoy this work, so don't worry. Most of the other difficult words are everyday terms, but there are many difficult phrases that are often found in real science. Therefore, the level of difficult words is at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Therefore, this work has a low learning priority.

771204. Advanced4. N2-N12020Comedy, Romance5---This work is a movie version of the story that continues from the second season of "Saekano". Learners who want to see this work need to look at the first and second seasons. The story puts an end to both game production and romance. Creators such as Tomoya Aki weren't dexterous enough to balance work and romance. The end will come someday because of their relationships, which are worried about whether to get a job or a love affair. Who would Tomoya choose as a nicer "real girlfriend" than his "ideal girlfriend"? The difficult words in this work have some otaku terms, but most of them are everyday terms and are at the high school level. This work will surely be a good teaching material for you. In addition, the characters in this work are suitable for both emulation and listening because they speak realistically according to the year. However, even for me, who likes Saekano, this movie was not very interesting.699.577120 =50 terms / 5 episodes * 12th grade

77406. Basic6. N4-N32020Slice of life13---This work is the second season of "Laid-Back Camp". The difficult words themselves are at the junior high school level and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, so this work is perfect as a teaching material for basic level Japanese learners.

This work will be a reference for sightseeing in Japan. Japanese learners who are interested in Japan will surely be able to enjoy this work while learning. I would definitely recommend this work to all levels of Japanese learners. The story is the daily life of high school girls who enjoy the outdoors.

74171.23. Extreme3. N1+2020Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---Two thousand years ago, the demon king Anosu, who had been violent by his power, died. Then, two thousand years later, the descendants of Anosu's blood built the Demon King Academy to nurture the "Demon Emperor." Anosu, who reincarnated with the memory of the previous life, arrives there. He entered the school with enormous magical power and magic. However, the declining descendants do not see his power, and Anosu is branded as a non-conforming person. He was cursed by the imperial family, but he went up with Miisya Nekuron, who he met on the day of his entrance examination, as a friend. The difficult words in this work are fantasy terms and difficult phrases. Therefore, the difficult words of "The Misfit of Demon King Academy" are at the level of college students and working adults, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. This work is for people who are confident in Japanese. However, due to the genre of difficult words and the way the characters speak, this work has a fairly low learning priority. In particular, Anosu and the imperial family speak arrogantly, so never emulate them. The character design is very good, so I recommend it to you who like cute women.7.5886.57171.2 =139 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

This work is a complete episode, so it is suitable for people who want to study little by little. Anyway, it's a work that cute characters love to do cute things. "Is the Order a Rabbit?" Is one of my personal favorite series.696.57.58122.4 =122 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

However, in real life he was a dark character, stooped and had few friends. However, at some point, Aoi Hinami, a beautiful woman who can do anything above the school caste, teaches him how to capture a game called "Life". This work explains in an easy-to-understand manner how to communicate with people and fashion that can be safely done. If you are not good at communication or fashion, or have troubles such as lack of confidence, please take a look at this work regardless of your level of Japanese. This work can be viewed without subtitles if you have intermediate level Japanese. It's very easy to understand because everything is explained like a game. However, Tomozaki always thinks like this. He said, "Is it okay to capture life efficiently and rationally?" I want you to feel the difference between him who values ​​"honesty" and Aoi who values ​​rationality. Also, I would like you to listen to the changes in Tomozaki, where the way you speak changes. The difficult words in this work are at the high school level with only younger's words and everyday terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is also normal.

721603. Extreme3. N1+2020Drama12---"Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" Is about three students trying to make an anime by establishing a new club in high school. The main character is Midori Asakusa, who loves setting pictures. She launches "Eizouken" with a companion she met in her high school. However, the club room she got was a shabby barracks. First, she decides to make an anime to get a repair budget at the school's budget deliberation committee. After that, she makes an anime for the school festival. Eizouken member Tubame Mizusaki speaks normally, so it's suitable for both emulation and listening. Sayaka Kanamori speaks in honorifics, which makes her suitable for emulation and listening, but she lacks emotional expression. Midori changes her way of speaking, so you need to be careful when listening. This work reveals a lot of fantasy worlds by Midori and Tubame. Therefore, the difficult words of this work come out in various genres, and at the level of university students and working adults. This work is for people who are confident in Japanese.86778160 =120 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

7051.66. Basic6. N4-N32020Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---"Gekidol" is recommended for basic level Japanese learners. Since this work is about theater and idol, there are some stage terms in difficult words, but most of them are everyday terms, so it will be a good teaching material for you. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is low, please give priority to watching this work. The stage of this work is Ikebukuro. The "Super Material Theater," a play that uses 3D holograms, is very popular here. Seria Morino, a junior high school student who saw this stage, became interested in stage theater and she joined the theater company. But she's annoyed because Seria can't do her own original acting, even though her copy of the acting of others is perfect. In addition, this work has a unique setting. The stage of this work is 2019, but a disaster called "Simultaneous disappearance of cities in the world" has occurred. Please look forward to seeing how this will affect the story. Except for Makoto Higuchi, all the characters in this work speak in a normal way, so they are suitable for both emulation and listening. I like both OP songs!8677751.6 =55 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

7097.24. Advanced4. N2-N12020Slice of life, Romance12---"Adachi and Shimamura" is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, but if you like Yuri anime, please watch this work regardless of your level. Because Sakura Adachi is "a roundabout and frustrating, THE Japanese". Surprisingly, people blush when talking to others, regardless of whether they have a romantic feeling or not. This is called blushing and is one of the sicknesses. Some people sweat on their hands and face. Some people get rid of this kind of sickness by puberty, but some people continue to work even after becoming a member of society. So if you meet someone like Adachi, don't be frustrated or distrustful, just take your time. Adachi and Shimamura have a habit of skipping school and classes, and they meet on the second floor of the gymnasium where they skipped. In particular, Adachi had no friends and was isolated in her home, making Shimamura the one and only friend. With the addition of her adolescent feelings, Adachi urges Shimamura to have her exclusivity. Adachi, who can only communicate in a roundabout way, and Shimamura, who takes good care of her, grow up with a smile. The difficult words in this work are all everyday terms at the high school level. And since youth language comes out a little, I would like you to use this work as a Japanese teaching material. The appearance rate of difficult words is also normal.7.5866.5797.2 =97 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7029.67. Beginner7. N5-N42020Comedy, Romance3---The Japanese level of "One Room THIRD SEASON" is definitely for beginners, and I would like to recommend it as a Japanese teaching material. However, if you watched the 1st and 2nd, you know that it is a very maniac work. This work is a first-person anime, and only one girl is speaking. They are talking to "you" and you have to think about your lines. The content depicts a love pattern that occurs in your room. Therefore, difficult words are only junior high school level everyday terms and school terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. Moreover, since this work is a 4-minute animation, you can easily learn Japanese. The girls' pronunciation is also clear, so it is suitable for both emulation and listening practice. This work is more for men, but I would like female learners of Japanese to use this work as a Japanese language teaching material. Women from junior high school to high school should be able to enjoy realistic Japanese spoken language. Compared to the 1st and 2nd, the 3rd work has less erotic elements and can be viewed by women (although it is still a maniac work, lol).6.587.56729.6 =11 terms / 3 episodes * 8th grade

It takes 3 minutes per episode, so it is recommended as a teaching material that allows you to experience Japanese when you don't have time. The content depicts the daily lives of Uma Musume and others. For example, you can enjoy a follow-up exam at Tresen Gakuen, Yukino Bijin who follows the work of a model in Gold City, and a lot of ramen from Special Week. This work basically has many everyday terms. Difficult words are at the high school level and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, so this work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. Interesting as a comedy.

60845. Intermediate5. N3-N22020Drama, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy2---The main character of this work is an anthropomorphic character of a humanoid railroad vehicle control module, which is called Railroad. There is no problem even if you do not have knowledge about the railway vehicle control module. As a native Japanese, I have no idea about this. Railroads were gathered from all over the country to boost the reconstruction of the railway business nationwide. The pair will solicit ideas for souvenirs using each specialty. Since this work is a 5-minute animation, the emphasis is on the character rather than the story. Some difficult words are related to trains such as locomotives, but other terms are everyday terms, so they are at the high school level. Since the appearance rate is normal, this work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners.6666684 =14 terms / 2 episodes * 12th grade

93785. Intermediate5. N3-N22021Sci-Fi/Fantasy14---As soon as 2021 began, some of the finest and most wonderful works appeared. "Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song" teaches us the importance of our mission and the meaning of life. This work sends a universal and strong message, "What is the heart?" In terms of expressiveness, video, music, sound, and story must be praised at the highest level. This work is suitable as a teaching material for intermediate level Japanese learners, so please give priority to watching it. The story begins in 2061. AI technology is developing in this world, and one mission is given to each AI. The main character is Vivy, an autonomous humanoid AI. Her mission is to make everyone happy with songs. However, her song didn't touch people's hearts and was always quiet before her stage. Matsumoto of AI will come there from the future 100 years later. His purpose is to prevent AI from killing humanity in the future 100 years from now. She participates in the "Singularity Plan" to correct the turning point in AI history. She will be deeply involved with more humanity and AI in this plan. This shakes her "heart" and she "grows" while being an AI. This story carefully depicts how AI, which should not grow, becomes aware of her emotions and hearts while revisiting history. Difficult words are at the high school level with only everyday terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, so please use this work for learning Japanese. Vivy can use both honorific and frank words, making it suitable for both emulation and listening. I highly recommend one of 2021's masterpieces, "Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song".

87964. Advanced4. N2-N12021Drama13---"Wonder Egg Priority" is a work on the theme of suicide in junior high school students. Of course, there are scenes where teenagers die, so learners who are not good at heavy themes should stop watching. The main character is Ai Ooto, who does not attend school. This work is a story of her fighting to revive her friend who committed suicide. At the same time, Ai has three friends. She finds her joy and purpose in her first life with her friends. And she takes care of her own problems and walks through her life. To add one commentary, the world in which she fights is called the "egg world." Protect the girl from Egg in this world from her enemies and she will return to Egg. The girls coming out of this egg are the girls who regret suicide. Understanding both the feelings of the girls who committed suicide and the feelings of those who couldn't stop their friends from committing suicide like Ai and others is the key to this story. Suicide of children is currently a major problem in Japan. There are many reasons for bullying, but the content of bullying is diverse. The reason for their suicide in this work is reality. I would like you to take a glimpse of their stories through anime and think about the problems that Japan faces. The difficult language of this work is at the high school level, which focuses on younger's words and everyday terms. The appearance rate of difficult words is normal. This work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. Please give priority to learning with this work. Ai and Momoe are age-appropriate speaking styles, so they are suitable for both emulation and listening. Rika speaks a little sloppy because she is in a good mood, but since there are many such children in Japan, it can be said that it is one of the realistic ways of speaking. This work reveals the negative aspects of Japan. Japanese teens appreciate this work because it correctly depicts the points they sympathize with. I highly recommend this work, which has a very high degree of perfection in terms of story, world view, characters, drawing, and entertainment.9997.5996 =104 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

8680.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22021Drama13---This work is the second season of "Uma Musume Pretty Derby". This work is recommended for intermediate level Japanese learners. The main character is Toukaiteiou. She joins Team Spica at Tresen Gakuen, the same as the main character Special Week in the first season. Toukaiteiou was aiming for "Undefeated Triple Crown Uma-Musume", but she was injured shortly before her dream. After that, even if she manages to return, she cannot easily regain her running and spends her frustrating time. As her retirement letters begin to appear in her mind, her rival Mejiro McQueen also suffers. Can Toukaiteiou, who vowed to inspire for McQueen, take the top again? ?? The main character of the first season, Special Week, has also appeared in this work, so learners who liked the first season should also take a look at this work. This work is a horse racing animation, but horse racing terms do not appear much. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are mainly composed of everyday terms at the high school level. Toukaiteiou uses "Boku" for her first person. Basically, it is desirable for women to use "Watashi". Others are normal speaking styles, so they are suitable for both emulation and listening. It is a work that I was genuinely impressed with the story after a long time. This is a true story, so I'm even more impressed. Recommended! The game is also recommended!

8261.26. Basic6. N4-N32021Horror/Suspence13---The story of Keito, a faceless girl, and Emiriko, a living doll that takes the place of her face. They live in Shadows House, a mysterious Western-style building with no visitors. This work is my favorite anime that has a unique surprise and mystery element. The characters in this work consist of living dolls and shadows. Since there is no face in the shadow, it will be a good learning of Japanese because it is necessary to read emotions by inflection and body movement of Japanese. Difficult words are at the high school level with only everyday terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal. Somewhat old phrases and difficult everyday terms come out. Because living dolls use honorifics. From this point as well, this work is suitable for learning Japanese, so please give priority to watching it. In a word, the story is "a story that approaches the mystery of shadows." Shadow lives by imitating aristocrats. Emiriko is Keito's servant, taking care of her surroundings and learning how to live in the Shadows House. When she got used to it, the day of "announcement" came. The Shadow and Her Doll must be paired to show the qualities of living to the adult Shadows. They don't know what to do because the content of the "announcement" changes every time. Can Emiriko and Keito pass the "announcement" safely? I want you to watch the mysterious days of Shadow and Her Doll. Personally, I am fascinated by the high sense of OP and ED. The dark and mysterious atmosphere is also my favorite (and Emiriko is cute enough).

801524. Advanced4. N2-N12021Horror/Suspence13---This work is the second season of "Zombie Land Saga". The story is exactly the "revenge" story as the title suggests. Franchouchou, who failed to attract customers at a large venue, has a large debt. Unlike the members who work part-time, Koutarou drank. However, Koutarou was pushed by the members of Franchouchou who did not give up, and Franchouchou's work steadily increased. At that time, a local storm hits Saga. They have lost their home Western-style building and they can't make up. Will it be Franchouchou's revenge from here? ?? The difficult word genre of this work is not constant. Therefore, the difficult words of this work are at the level of working people and specific experts. Also, the characters in this work are not suitable for emulation or listening. Such a work is rare. Girls with strong dialects and children who speak Oiran have a strong habit of tone. Koutarou also speaks with strange intonation, so it is not suitable for listening. It is best to enjoy this work with subtitles, not as a teaching material in Japanese. The content is very unique, interesting and inspiring. And this work realistically depicts the state of the shelter when a disaster occurs in Japan. Especially in Japan, there are many floods like the 11th episode of this work. It is a work that emphasizes entertainment, but there is no doubt that it is an anime that has "something". Let's look forward to the 3rd season (No way, it doesn't end in the 2nd !?)7.5888.58152 =98 terms / 13 episodes * 20th grade

762163. Extreme3. N1+2021Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---This work is an anthropomorphic version of the cells that work in the human body, and is a spin-off work of "Cells at Work" and "Cells at Work !!". The stage of "Cells at Work" and "Cells at Work !!" is the body of a healthy adult, but the stage of this work is the body of an unhealthy and unhealthy adult male. Therefore, the cells that work in this body are being abused as if they were working for an evil company. The main character is red blood cell AA2153. He is motivated by new red blood cells, but he can't do his job well. He takes time to deliver oxygen and nutrients, and every day he is scolded by other cells. The story of this work depicts a serious man growing up to be a full-fledged person. At the same time, it clearly depicts the problems that are common in adult men, such as the condition of the body that is damaged by alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine, the mechanism of erectile dysfunction, venereal diseases, hair loss, and urinary stones. Therefore, this work requires Japanese proficiency at an advanced level or higher. Since cells and pathogens are the characters in this work, many names such as those names, organ names, and disease names appear. The point is that difficult words are at the level of working people and specific specialists, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. Equivalent to advanced Japanese or higher. Also, the red blood cell AA2153 uses honorifics for superiors, Frank for friends, and gentle for children. The way red blood cells AA2153 speaks is suitable for both emulation and listening.986.56.58216 =140 terms / 13 episodes * 20th grade

Her sister Kotono takes over her dream that her sister Mana couldn't fulfill, and she joins her sister's idol office. Kotono wanted her single debut because she was not good at communicating, but she made her group debut due to the recent idol situation. She aims to become the top idol while overcoming her weak communication. But her sister Mana was hugely popular. Kotono is worried about the fact that Kotono's rivals and even Kotono's companions are chasing the shadow of her sister. This work allows you to enjoy singing and dancing while getting a glimpse of the life of an idol. The dance scene with animation that fuses 3D and 2D is a commendable perfection. Very high level. Effective switching between 3D and 2D and camera work that moves around are a masterpiece. The tips of her fingers move flexibly, her hair and costume move with a sense of dynamism, and the delicate steps and choreography are extremely attractive. Difficult words are also at the high school level, where only everyday terms are used, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. This work will be a good teaching material for basic level Japanese learners. It's not a simple youth story in which teenage girls aim to become top idols, but a beautiful dramatic story with sisterhood, pure love, and a little fantasy is worth a look.7.578.57.5744.4 =48 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

761024. Advanced4. N2-N12021Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---The different world reincarnated anime "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" is a rare work depicting an adult romance fantasy. The main character is Sei Takanashi. She is a serious office worker in her twenties who works late into the night, but she is not good at her romance. One day, she is suddenly summoned to another world as a "saint". Up to this point, the story has overflowed in the anime industry in recent years, but from here on, the originality of this work will be demonstrated. She does not defeat monsters or go on a journey. Moreover, it wasn't just Sei that was summoned to another world, but another young girl. She was praised for her as a saint, and Sei, who lost her place, started working at the Institute of Medicinal Plants on her own initiative. Of course, she could also be her saint, so her royal palace apologizes for her disrespect and offers her a luxurious life. However, she refuses it and just makes a potion. Yes, Japanese people get tired of the favorable treatment they are given and choose the option to work. It's a Japanese way of thinking that it's boring to be lazy all day and that it's more fun to work. She has a very Japanese thinking circuit. And another saint, Aira Misono, is a Japanese who can't express her own opinion. What's more, she's really Japanese because she gets on her rails, letting her others decide even her future direction. There are two Japanese characters of different types in this work, so please watch it. Difficult words are mainly everyday terms at the high school level, but some fantasy terms and military terms come out. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners, but intermediate and lower learners may enjoy it with subtitles. Anyway, Sei uses beautiful honorifics, so this work is very good for practicing listening and emulating honorifics. This work is a different world reincarnated animation that builds a position with communication ability rather than battle. Therefore, Japanese female viewers tend to feel close to Sei. For example, she stares at the handsome guy to see how the potion works, hates dresses, and likes herbal dishes. Since escorts from men are common in this country, it is very familiar to Japanese women to think that even if they are kind, they will not like them. Sei is a real Japanese woman. And the characters around her were set by the original author with the concept of "people who want to work in the same workplace". Therefore, an ideal workplace has been realized for Japanese women. It would be interesting to watch this work on the premise that Japanese women think of an ideal workplace. It's kind of an interesting concept to have good-looking guys who are as smart as women. Sei's facial expressions and emotions, which change so much that it is interesting, are very adorable. The title is not interesting, but the content is a very satisfying anime. Recommended.88877102 =102 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7432.47. Beginner7. N5-N42021Action/Battle, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Surprisingly, "SSSS.Dynazenon" is a work for beginners learning Japanese. Difficult words are at the high school level, where only everyday terms are used, and the appearance rate of difficult words is low. This work is a robot anime. High school student Yomogi Asanaka is struck by saving Gauma who has fallen over. At that time, Yomogi is called to the riverbed by his classmate Yume Minami. At that time, a monster appeared in the city on the opposite bank. When Gauma saw it and raised something in the sky, a giant robot appeared, and both Yomogi and Yume were sucked into the robot. Then Gauma controls the robot and defeats the monster. As mentioned above, the story is easy to understand because it is about riding a robot and defeating monsters. The worries and feelings of each character are drawn in a surprisingly careful manner. In particular, the response to people who are less than friends, the sense of distance, and the way they speak are very real. I strongly emphasize that this anime is very useful for those who want to understand the sensibilities of young Japanese people. It should be added that the story is not a simple robot anime, so it is worth seeing for you as an otaku (the story becomes more interesting from episode 10). The drawing level and character design are very good. Personally, I was fascinated by the production of Yume Minami's yukata in episode 9. It depicts a delicate charm that is difficult to express in words.788.56.5732.4 =32 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

741024. Advanced4. N2-N12021Comedy, Romance12---"The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬" is the second season of "The Quintessential Quintuplets". The main character, Hutarou Uesugi, speaks normally, so it's suitable for both emulation and listening. The quintuplets are usually spoken, but Nino is a little tsundere. Especially, it is not so good to call the other party "ANNTA". "ANNTA" is a second-person personal pronoun, but it's less than "ANATA" and is often used when looking down. Therefore, Nino's way of speaking is not suitable for emulation, as this can be rude. The story of this work is not so different from the first season. Hutarou tutors the quintuplets who hate studying, and troubles occur each time. This time, we will work toward the goal of avoiding red dots and the promotion to the third year of high school. In addition, Hutarou's first love partner will also appear. Most of the difficult words in this work are everyday terms, and it is at the high school level where idioms and younger's words also appear. If you have advanced level Japanese ability, you can watch without subtitles. The drawing quality has improved since the first season, and the quintuplets are drawn more attractively. The ED song is also good.88678102 =101 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7243.26. Basic6. N4-N32021Drama13---"Horimiya" is highly recommended as a teaching material for basic level Japanese learners. By all means, I would like you to give priority to learning this work. This work is a school romance anime that realistically depicts the psychology and life of Japanese high school students. The difficult words in this work are at the high school level, which is all about everyday terms, so it matches the age group of the characters. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is low, it will be easy to learn Japanese. The main character is Kyouko Hori, who is beautiful and excellent. She is so popular that her friends thought she had a boyfriend, but she is actually busy with her housework and taking care of her younger brother. The other main character is Izumi Miyamura. He's a very dark student, but he actually has a lot of pierced holes in his ears and stretches his hair to hide them. Japanese schools have very strict morals. Most schools do not allow tattoos or even piercing holes. At my high school, hair length and hair styling were specified, and hair dyeing, perms, hair styling products, and makeup were prohibited. For that reason, he stretched his hair to hide the piercing holes, which gave him a dark impression. He has no one to call a friend, and for some reason he makes friends with Kyouko's younger brother. The sense of distance between them who knew each other's secrets at the edge sharply shrinks. However, Izumi and Hori each suffer from a sense of distance from the other party. Please watch this work to see what they will do if they are less than romance and have more than friends. There are many places where you can laugh at this work, and the love patterns of characters other than them are also a must-see. I'm sure you will like this work. Also, the class scenes often appear, so you can understand the atmosphere of Japanese schools. No character speaks strangely, so everyone is good at emulating and listening. Personally, the scenario of 10 episodes was extremely excellent and impressed. Recommended!8.5776.5743.2 =46 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

73166.83. Extreme3. N1+2021Action/Battle, Mecha, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---"Soukou Musume Senki" depicts girls fighting in a robot called LBX from behind. They are called "Soukou Musume". The stage is Japan where space-time is distorted. Riko came to Japan where the space-time was suddenly distorted due to the space-time transition. Moreover, she was wearing LBX before she knew it. Forcibly becoming Soukou Musume, she is surrounded by her enemy, Mimesis, without even knowing how to operate her. She is helped by another Soukou Musume with a short break, and she becomes a member of the troupe. Still, she doesn't know how to operate LBX. Because no one has ever worn her LBX. Can Riko survive safely? Since they travel to various parts of Japan such as Kyoto and Kumamoto, this work can be enjoyed everywhere. Therefore, many place names, castle names, military commander names, etc. appear. Difficult words are not only combat terms and military terms, but also strategic terms and terrain names. The appearance rate of difficult words is high, and the priority of learning is low. This work is for people who are confident in Japanese. However, the degree of perfection of 3D animation is extremely high, and the splendor of this animation definitely contributes to the visualization of this work. The story is not bad either.7796.57166.8 =166 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

732342. Ultimate2. N1++2021Sci-Fi/Fantasy8---This work is the second season of "Cells at Work". This work anthropomorphizes the cells that work in the human body. This work also includes a continuation of the cells that appeared in the first season, so if possible, watch this work after watching the first season. In addition, this work is more enthusiastic and difficult than the first season. Therefore, you must understand the explanations explained in the subtitles, and you also need reading comprehension in Japanese. The Japanese language of this work is the ultimate level of difficulty. It's safe to watch with subtitles. Difficult words consist of cell names, disease names, and words that indicate the state of the disease. These are at the level of working people and specific specialists, and this work has a high rate of appearance of difficult words. Equivalent to teaching materials for studying medicine and physiology instead of Japanese (lol)8876.57234 =93 terms / 8 episodes * 20th grade

7442.46. Basic6. N4-N32021Comedy12---This work is the third season of "Non Non Biyori". This work depicts student life in the countryside of Japan, so it is recommended for basic level Japanese learners. There are few difficult words, only everyday terms and junior high school level words. This work is suitable as a teaching material for Japanese learners. The story is about spending a peaceful country life. It is a story about spending days with friends, such as taking classes, planting vegetables, and camping, centered on the main character, elementary school student Renge Miyauchi. Therefore, this work is basically one episode complete. Renge also has a habit of adding "... nonn" and "... nann" to her flexion. You will find that this is not suitable for emulation. Since the birthrate is declining in the countryside of Japan, there are many schools like this one that have only a few students in the elementary and junior high school. I recommend "Non Non Biyori", which has a high sense of stability both for learning Japanese and for anime.7.577.57842.4 =63 terms / 12 episodes * 8th grade

7061.26. Basic6. N4-N32021Comedy, Romance13---The Japanese title of "Higehiro" is "Shave. And pick up a high school girl." Some people may not want to see it because it's such a title, but I definitely recommend this work to you. This work remains the title, but it's not naughty at all. This work is about a single parent and his child, who are still a problem in Japan. Office worker Yoshida had a crush on her boss Goto, but he lost love and drank. That night, he meets Sayu Ogiwara, a high school girl, on the roadside. She is a runaway girl and has entrusted her own body to various men on the condition that she stay at her man's house. However, Yoshida affirms it. He tells her that her way of life is wrong and asks her to do his housework instead of staying at her house. At first Sayu was confused, but she gradually realized her mistakes and tried to confront the reason why she ran away from home. Yoshida gently raises Sayu and, with the help of her surroundings, puts her feelings in order. The difficult words in this work are only younger's words and everyday terms, so it is at the high school level. Since the appearance rate of difficult words is normal, this work is highly recommended as a teaching material for basic level Japanese learners. Also, since the characters in this work are all in a normal way of speaking, they are suitable for both emulation and listening. However, only Asami Yuuki uses Gal language, so it is not suitable for emulation. In recent years, runaway girls and boys like Sayu have become a problem in Japan. There are different reasons for running away from home, but most of them are family circumstances such as parental violence and neglect. Of course, after they run away from home, they can't live a decent life. She may end up selling her body like Sayu or get involved in an incident. Of course, in Japan, sexual intercourse with minors is against the law, and staying at home with minors is often recognized as kidnapping. That's why they aren't dealt with by decent adults. Sayu had less chance of meeting Yoshida than a miracle. This work realistically and seriously depicts the real problems that are occurring in Japan. It is a hard-line anime as a human drama.7.5776.5761.2 =66 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

70151.24. Advanced4. N2-N12021Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Comedy12---The Japanese level of "Combatants Will Be Dispatched!" Is advanced. Difficult words include combat terms and military terms in addition to everyday terms, so learning is a low priority. There are three reasons why the appearance rate of difficult words is high. The gag element is strong, the way the hero speaks changes, and there are many dirty jokes. The secret society Kisaragi is an evil organization. They have defeated the heroes and are on the verge of conquering the world. If that happens, the fighters will be restructuring. Therefore, Kisaragi decides to select a planet with an environment similar to that of the Earth as a new invasion destination, and let the combatants take on the task of establishing a base there. Combatant No. 6, the main character of this work, was dispatched to that planet, Although he likes women and is not very smart, his fighting power is high. The townspeople he landed on were invaded by the Demon King's army, so he would first fight the Demon King's army as a soldier. Can he really build a base for Kisaragi? !! A different world action comedy with an easy-to-understand character and an easy-to-understand composition, usually interesting. You can enjoy different fun from KONOSUBA. Excellent character design guarantees the quality of this work.67778151.2 =151 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

681444. Advanced4. N2-N12021Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Since "Redo of Healer" has the theme of "vengeance", there are scenes of one-sided violence and sexual violence. Japanese learners who are not good at these things should stop watching this work. Also, the Japanese level of this work is advanced. Most of the difficult words are rare Japanese that appear only in fantasy terms and novels. Therefore, difficult words are at the university student / worker level, and the priority of learning is very low. The main character's name is Keyaru. He is a recovery surgeon and a healing hero. Behind the heroes who fight with attack magic, it is his job to devote himself to recovery magic. But that's why he's been neglected by other heroes, drugged, and succumbed to violence. So he started his life over. On the second lap of his life, he does what he can for himself and takes revenge on those who have violently attacked him. Does he really have salvation for him? Rather, I feel that this is classified as an orthodox HENTAI anime ...6.5676.58144 =107 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

6951.66. Basic6. N4-N32021Horror/Suspence, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---Intensely scary. The sound production is also super scary. I was scared anyway. However, it is a pity that it is such a work. This work is recommended for basic level Japanese learners, but the drawback is that difficult words are not everyday terms. Difficult words are mostly combat terms, military terms, and spiritual terms, and few everyday terms. Difficult words have a low appearance rate at the high school level, but the priority of learning is low. As the title suggests, the content is about traveling around the world of the other side. The main character is Sorawo Kamikoshi. She is a college student and she loves ghost stories and ruins. In the ruins exploration, the mysterious "Kunekune" frequently appears in the otherside world she finds, trying to kill her. For some reason, Sorawo will explore the world of the other side with Toriko Nishina, who met in the world of the other side. The level of 3D animation and background images is high, so there is no difficulty in viewing. Recommended for those who want to see scary things. But you really experience horror too.5.5687851.6 =51 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

70142.44. Advanced4. N2-N12021Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy10---This work is the second season of "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord". Since one episode contains a rough recollection, even learners who have not watched one season can see it as it is. The second season "How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω" is a slightly naughty harem fantasy anime. Difficult words are at the level of college students and working adults, including fantasy terms, combat terms, everyday terms that are not usually used, and old words. Since advanced level Japanese proficiency is required, this work has a very low priority for learning. In particular, the main character, Diavro, is arrogant and uses old words, so it is not suitable for emulation. This trip involves the Holy Knight and Lumaquina, the head priest of the church. Lumaquina is somehow chased by a paladin, and Diavro happens to help her. Because of that, she calls him God, but what about Diavro, the demon king who has no communication skills? ?? Dark hero Diavro saves a lot of people this time as well. It's the second season of the popular anime that you can enjoy your favorite "naked", but personally, the first season was better (especially the OP song and story).6.5885.57142.4 =89 terms / 10 episodes * 16th grade

This work will be broadcast at the time of the announcement of the second production of the TV animation, and you can enjoy it with one episode completed, so even those who do not know "Saga of Tanya the Evil" should take a look. However, this work is for native Japanese. Difficult words are all military terms, and each character uses only military terms. In addition, the main character, Tanya, likes difficult words and phrases, so difficult words are at the level of working people and specific experts, and the appearance rate of difficult words is the highest. This story is relatively simple. What should I do to eat the dried pasta sent to the operation in the desert suffering from water shortage? Yes, they are soldiers. Everything is attacking the enemy army for pasta!6.5777.56760 =38 terms / 1 episodes * 20th grade

While the story that opened up a new territory in a typical romantic comedy is worthy of evaluation, it is the responsibility of the drawing team to fail to express the charm of the character. I wanted them to be drawn a little more attractively ... Now, I will explain the results of Japanese analysis. This work is a love story of high school students. Difficult words are only younger's words and everyday terms, and the appearance rate of difficult words is normal. As a Japanese level, it corresponds to advanced level. The main character is Sueharu Maru, who played the role of a former genius child. He quit his child role for some reason. He is adored by his childhood acquaintances, his childhood friends before his childhood, and his current companions. However, he had a partner to think about. No matter how approached by her childhood friends, he will never forget her. Meanwhile, he has the opportunity to act again. A love triangle that is more complicated than a love triangle, acting that can no longer be done. He had a lot of trouble. Who is he finally telling his thoughts?

And one day, 300 years later, she finds out that her level has reached MAX. It became a rumor that various races such as humans, dragons, and elves came to visit Azusa, who became her strongest witch, with problems. "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level" is an easy-to-understand story in which Azusa clears up problems and strengthens ties with her peers. The difficult words in this work are composed of some fantasy terms and everyday terms, so they are at the high school level. However, the appearance rate of difficult words is high, and this work is recommended for advanced level Japanese learners. Japanese learners who can afford to study even a little should try this work. Well, it's not a bad work.66766151.2 =151 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

He was supposed to be a librarian, but he was robbed of his desired job by a higher-ranking Viscount. So he decided to enroll in a hero school so that he wouldn't have a problem with his future job. However, he is far from being accepted by the hero school now. He knows how to use his skills to attend a hero school. It's about getting stronger in hidden dungeons.

He was taken care of by the town witch Marie's house and took the military recruitment exam but failed. But he had great potential. Can he really be a soldier? And, in fact, there was a big secret about Marie. There is no time to list the difficult words in this work, such as everyday words, military terms, younger's words, and old words. Therefore, the difficult words in this work are at the university student / worker level, and the appearance rate of difficult words is high. There are also many terms that are unfamiliar to learners who have never played RPG games. Therefore, learning Japanese in this work has a low priority. Also, it is not interesting as an animation.5565.57204.8 =153 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

It also shows big gaps between being serious and comedy. Being continued to the second season, it seems to end in a half way. The core part of this story begins when Taito Kurogane, the main character, becomes dead. He has been bewitched by Saitohimea whom he met as a child. They are in love each other. He dies as many as he could and comes back to life for her. This is a campus-life and rebirth fantasy story with a great deal of battles and dark plots. Generally, Taito fights for Saitohimea but it is difficult to get a clear picture as there are friend and foe weltering with many fantasy words and terms of intermediate Japanese level.

Although this is the story of Akatsuki, a Rogue Hero, he has already defeated the Demon King. He goes back to Japan and enjoys his naughty school life. Difficult words of this series are fantasy words, school words, words of daily life, and battle terms, etc. Akatsuki uses male language, but it is not suitable for emulation because he sometimes speaks in such an arrogant way. Miu is a female but she explains herself as “Boku” which means “I” standing for male. This is not suitable for emulation for female Japanese learners and also not recommended for learning Japanese.

One day, he is shocked to learn that Yuka is retiring, but he is able to recover himself when Yuka's look-alike, Ringo Kinoshita, transfers to his new school. Although this series is full of gag element (surrealistic with dirty joke, yuri, BL, parody), it also seriously draws the aspect of agriculture learning at school. Difficult words of this series are college and adult student level and they appear at high rate. Many of the difficult words are terms related to agriculture and animal husbandry. Not much recommended for learning Japanese but this is good for Japanese learners who are interested in life and scenery of Japanese countryside to watch with subtitles.

Definitely empathy should be one of essential human skill today. The empathy of Episode 9 is compelling and awesome. The last part is also excellent, and the ED scene is sophisticated. Highly recommended a piece of work. Well, let me get to back to review. This is a story of children involved in a grand experiment which is supposed to save the world, featuring the pain of youth. The main characters here are called "Kiznaivers" who share each other’s pain. They are all different kind of person who would never have associated if they had not been involved in this experimental program. Having many conflicts at first, they come to understand each other little by little fostering ties. However, involving with others sometime makes us hurt. That is the core of this story. The setting of this story is a little difficult but students of intermediate Japanese level should be able to understand it. There are a wide variety of difficult words but they are used on a routine basis. I recommend you to try this series first. This series is good for both emulation and listening of ordinary high school student’s real speaking except the one of Katsuhira and Sonozaki. Tenga also speaks a bit rough. This is a masterpiece of animation which you can learn universal value rather than a useful kit of Japanese learning. You have to watch this moving piece of work.9.5888893.6 =93 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

When Yuta goes to interview a professor of Seimei University Science and engineering department Isayuki Hashigami, Yuta discovers his dead body.

Difficult words of this series are crime word, police terminology, occult words, fantasy, word of daily life, and many others. They are college and adult student level and appear at high rate. In addition, you often find texts appearing on the screen. It might be also difficult content even for Japanese because of topic such as scientific basis related to occultism. The Japanese level is ultimate. Just forget about learning Japanese for the moment and let us enjoy purely this anime with subtitles. It is not so obvious but the animation drawing team does a very good job. The very detailed and delicate motion and ingenious camera work make the film visually very enjoyable.

The royal palace, the imperial rooms, furniture, and royal patterns are drawn finely detailed. You could also feel a hell of speed from the animation of witch’s aerial battles. Featuring the World War II, the story is drawn super real except the fantasy element of the witches. It is fun to follow the storyline changing several times. It would be difficult to enjoy this anime without subtitles. The setting is a world similar to Europe during World War II following the actual history and drawing the war realistically. But this story follows a witch that does not exist in reality. Her name is Izetta. She helps Fine, a princess of Eylstadt which is a small kingdom in the Alps, to fight against a military power, Germania Empire. Having difficult words such as battle and military terms, this series is college and adult student Japanese level. You would frequently find those difficult words.

732801. Impossible1. N1+++2016Drama13---We shall definitely enjoy this anime with subtitles to study Japanese as it is intended for native Japanese speakers. This is a story is about two countries at war and the story of Ikuta Sorouku, a boy who may save the inferior empire. He is a boy with highbred and talent but is always lazy without motivation. But one day, the ship with him and his old friend, Yatorishino, on board sinks and they drift to the enemy empire. You would find out in the story how they survived and how this incident exerted Ikuta’s talent and changed his life. Difficult words such as military terms, idioms, and proverbs are college and adult student level. In addition, those difficult words frequently appear. Ikuta talks in such an aggressive manner. It has less priority for studying Japanese.8.57867280 =227 terms / 13 episodes * 16th grade

It goes back in the 1920s during the Prohibition Era. This authentic mafia story makes you feel like watching an American movie. You can find difficult words of battle terms, offensive words, common expressions and classic idioms. This series is intermediate Japanese level as those difficult words appear at average rate. I would say it has less priority for studying Japanese since words are often used roughly.8.565.56772 =71 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

73141.64. Advanced4. N2-N12017Slice of life, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---All episodes are incredibly heart-warming and purifying our soul. The Japanese level is advanced but I definitely recommend this Anime for the learners of all levels since they can find the spirit of Japanese culture throughout this series. It would be better for the beginner to use subtitles as difficult words frequently appear. This story is set in Konohana-tei, a high-class Japanese hot spring ryokan, and it begins when the main character, Yuzu, becomes to work as the waitress. The Konohana-tei is a magical ryokan where not only humans but also gods and the messengers come to stay. It is a heartwarming story illustrating the daily life of the waitresses and their guests. You will find Japanese customs and history such as Obon and Kojiki that might be unfamiliar for you. Obon is a Buddhist event of summer season. The deceased ride a horse back to their descendants and families from the afterlife to spend a day. They then return by ox to where they come from. Horse is represented by a cucumber and the ox by an eggplant, and their legs are made out of sticks or toothpicks. The deceased ancestors use those ornaments as vehicle for the journey. Horse would be used for the journey home because they want their ancestors to return quickly and ox would be used for the journey back because they want their ancestors to return slowly. The Kojiki is Japan's oldest historical book and begins with the Japanese creation myth. This series has a variety of Japanese Gods names and characteristics and it might be difficult for you to follow the story without any information about gods in Kojiki. Again, Japan is a polytheistic. Difficult words are those relating to Japanese religious events and are old-fashioned terms. Let us practice emulation and listening with Yuzu’s honorifics of extremely good quality. This is such an excellent anime as well as Japanese language teaching material. It illustrates Japanese culture, Japanese spirit, Japanese view of life and death, and religious point of view that we are usually unaware of. Highly recommended.8776.58141.6 =141 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

The name of the restaurant is Nekoya which offers western food. The customers are regular customers who always order same menu, first-time customers, and those who lost their way.

Difficult words are mostly words of daily life with some fantasy words and old-fashioned words. Please note that its Japanese level is the advanced.

This is recommended for those who want to learn vocabulary related to food and for those who want to watch a peaceful story without any fight.

The story, animation drawings, characters, music, and audio are not so bad. Anyway, the worldview is extremely unpleasant. We can’t blame this work, the characters, the creators, or the fans. But those who made this project are unexcused. I’m not happy to make a review but I will do so. This is a military fantasy with many difficult words of battle terms, military terms, and old-fashioned words. The characters of this story are women who personalize ships which is a rip-off of Kantai collection. Difficult words frequently appear since this series uses a lot of military terms. and Japanese are the Japanese is biased. It is inappropriate as a Japanese learning material. Again, the worldview is unpleasant to begin with. Extremely unlikely recommended as a teaching material or as an animation (or game).477.57.56135.6 =135 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

This is a spin-off of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica” with high level drawings, Shaft’s distinctive dramatic impact, and its melodious and mysterious theme songs. You might want to watch "Puella Magi Madoka Magica” beforehand to enjoy this series even more than not watching it. I would like to recommend this series for basic level Japanese learners as it has difficult words with a wide variety of genre which are used in daily basis. The main character, Iroha, become a magical girl in exchange for her wish being granted. But she does not remember the wish. She is led by “a Rumor” to the place where she recalls the wish. Then she is led by "Rumors" to the fights with witches. Featuring gossip of teenagers, this is a story about the uncertainty of rumor which make something seem unreal sound like truth.

Through her hard work, she joins the "SELECTION PROJECT," the first step up the ladder for girls who want to become idols. The girls she meets there become her precious friends. Difficult words in this series are words of daily life and slangs of the young. This series is suitable for basic level Japanese learner as difficult words appear at low rate. I recommend to watch this as a Japanese learning material as Suzune, Akari, and Mako speak generally which is good for emulation and listening. It is a classic adolescence drama drawing each character’s charm that moves audiences. Highly recommended!9.599.58857.6 =62 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

This contains violence and bloody scene of killing oneself with slashing head and battles. I would say it should not be recommended for those who have trouble with watching them. The story takes place in Japan between 1912 and 1926. Tanjiro, the main character of this movie, joins the Demon Slayer Corps to fight with demons for getting his sister Nezuko, who has turned into a demon, back to human form. His mission this time is to hunt for a demon that has caused disappearance of people boarding on the train. Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, and Zenitsu board the Mugen Train to assist the Flame Hashira, Rengoku Kyojuro. They must solve the mysteries of the train and exterminate the demons involved in this case. Difficult words of this movie are high school level and most of them are old spoken language owing to its historical background. And there are some difficult words which are unique to this movie. It is for Japanese learners of advanced level, but not recommended for studying Japanese. Please enjoy this purely as motion picture animation with the finest visuals, direction, and music. Needless to say, Rengoku irresistibly attracts us with such a manly spirit and we can't watch his last scene without tears. Convincing that this movie has become the best animated film in the world.8.58108.58105.6 =61 terms / 7 episodes * 12th grade

8592.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22021Drama, Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This is a sequel to "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc”. This series contains violence and bloody scene of battles. I would not recommend for those who have trouble with watching them. The story takes place in the Yoshiwara which is a brothel district of Tokyo from 1912 to 1926. Yoshiwara Yukaku was created by the Edo shogunate in 1612 and it had existed until 1957 when the Anti-Prostitution Law was passed. Yukaku is legal red-light districts which entertain man. The women were often sold from poor families and many of them ran away. Yukaku is a night town with a lot of crime and the section is surrounded by walls and moats to limit free traffic and also to protect public safety. This story begins with a search for the wife of Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui, who has gone missing in Yoshiwara. Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu go undercover in the Yukaku to find her who might have been captured by demons. Difficult words are high school level with old spoken language, words unique to this series, and terms related to battles. Recommended for Intermediate level Japanese learners as difficult words appear normally but not recommended for studying Japanese. But you could enjoy the historical culture of Japanese yukaku. Also, you should enjoy the difference between Japanese & Western-style mixed costumes of this period and the Japanese kimono. Here let us talk about Yukaku and its system. The women who work in Yukaku are divided into Yujo and Geisha. Yujo is the one working for red-light business. Geisha is the one who entertain at party with dance and music. The famous Maiko in Kyoto is an apprentice of Geisha. Both Yujo and geisha belong to a family called an okiya. Okiya is like an entertainment agency today. Customers nominate Yujo through Okiya while they are served with food at restaurant, or waiting at Chaya. Or, Okiya procures Yujo for restaurant and Chaya according to the customer's budget. The customers then go to the Ageya where Yujo entertain them. You would see Oiran Dochu in episode 2 which is the parade down a street of Oiran who walks between Okiya and Ageya or Chaya accompanied by Kamuro. Yujo is responsible for all the cost of clothing, cosmetics, and having Kamuro. Therefore, they had to have the skill to make their customers to give her financial aid to survive. Yujo and Geisha usually born in the Yukaku or those who are sold to cover their parents' debts. Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitu are sold to Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui for getting into Yukaku. The best looking and brightest one is selected as a Kamuro who takes care of high ranked Yujo such as Oiran and receives education to become a Yujo. To become a geisha, like Zenitu, first aims to be Maiko working as apprentice as Ochobo. After 10 years of apprentice, those girls are free. Some of them gets free by getting married with a man who covers their debt to be his wife or mistress before the end of apprenticeship. Even after they were free, some of them worked in the Yukaku instructing or making arrangement of Yujo, sewing, cooking, and so on. However, there were many Yujo died young from venereal disease, stress, malnutrition, or abortion. There was also a hierarchical system among them, Oiran as the top, and they had to change their hairstyles according to their rank. Beautiful girls who are to become Oiran are specially trained from when they are Kamuri. Koinatu in the story is a very talented and educated girl with knowledge, manners, and even music which is quite different from ordinary prostitutes in other countries. Hope you can find something new with this information. I have to applaud this best animation and music of all time history. Especially, this is the excellent workmanship of the background animation.

8275.65. Intermediate5. N3-N22021Drama, Horror/Suspence15---This is the sequel of the "When They Cry - Gou". I recommend you to watch the previous series first because “When They Cry – Sotsu” is the answer arc. "When They Cry" is horror Anime which has many blood splatter scenes. I suggest not to watch this unless you are splatter fan. This series shows the answers of Rika and Satoko to reveal their future paths. Difficult words are high school level and they are mostly negative words such as assaultive words, battle terms, and words associated with death. Moreover, there are old-fashioned words and religious terms. Studying Japanese from this Anime, you would probably learn biased Japanese. Well, we all know that "When They Cry" is not suitable for normal person to learn Japanese. Let's enjoy this Anime itself. This work was not well-received but I would say it was not too bad as I am a fan of “When They Cry”. Moderately recommended.887.58.5975.6 =94 terms / 15 episodes * 12th grade

We can enjoy such a heavy issue without being too serious owing to its well-balanced comedy with good plot. Episode 10, such a beautiful and heart-warming one, is must-see. Both animation and direction are superb as we all know. I am so thrilled to see Kyoto Animation is back. This series is the second season of "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" and should be suitable for those who are pretty comfortable with Japanese and studying Japanese. I recommend to watch this series first using subtitles. Dragons of different cultures are in the same position as you are. You could learn Japanese way of life through Dragon’s questions to humans. Making a compromise is different from giving up on something, acting differently in private and in public, and selecting the least offensive clothes worrying about what others think about you, to name a few. In addition, Difficult words of high school level are frequently appearing in this series. Most of them are daily words but there are also some otaku and fantasy words and terms. Also, Thor's honorifics deserve to be emulated.8.588.57.59177.6 =177 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Humans and vampires have had a long history of repelling each other. However, Lev does not find her a scary vampire as she is a serious and adorable girl who has a strong will to go to the moon. But she is a laboratory subject and Lev is a lieutenant in the Air Forces of the Republic which instructs him to treat Irina as nothing more than a test subject. But he secretly teaches her to live like a human. This series is featuring astronaut training of the two people aiming for the moon but the difficult words are mostly words of daily life. Intermediate level Japanese learners should be able to watch this series without subtitles. The story is about their goal of spaceflight to the moon, and their future of a little further. They break the three boundaries of vampires fighting discrimination, human prejudice against vampires, and overwhelming power of nation for us to see a new world. It should be a trend now of many films deal with discrimination and prejudice, state power, and diversity . But relax, you will be fascinated by Irina's Tsundere charm and her red eyes. The expressive animation also brings out her charm. The chilling attitude is deadly cute and its cuteness of her gesture and face expression enhances every time we watch her. Vampire anime won’t let us down. Highly recommended!9108.57788.8 =88 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

Mebuki Kusunoki used to compete with Karin Miyoshi for the post of hero. Offered an amnesty, she was called upon as a guardian after the battle of the heroes was over. But this means that her life is threaten. Difficult words of this series include words of daily life, terms related to battles, and fantasy words. It corresponds to advanced Japanese level. This series has an original religious view based on Shintoism. Let me remind you that Shinto is a polytheistic religion and God can sometimes be one's enemy. The worship manner of Shinto is to bow and clap your hands which is "nirei nihakushu ichirei" simply translated as "bow twice, clap your hands twice, and bow once." But here, "Shirei Shihakushu Ichirei" is used. Please note that the religious viewpoint of this series is based on Shintoism. Not suitable for Japanese language study, it is good for you to experience the mystical atmosphere of Japan. The brightly colored and unique another space, the contrast of background art faithfully traced from the real scenery, the OP/ED music with the unique tone of this series and such an authentic music with Japanese spirit and mythology make us feel the origin of Japanese classics. I personally would like to give an excellent credit to the heartrending music expressing the merciless and cruel world. Must see for YuYuYu fans.7.58988112.8 =112 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

I would like to recommend you to try this series first as it is suitable for basic-level Japanese learners. The main character, Futaba Igarashi, is in her second year working at the sales department. She finds her senior colleague, Mr. Takeda annoying, but at the same time she trusts him a lot. Her sales talk and honorific is quite realistic and high level and they are good for Japanese emulation and listening. Content and context of work is drawn realistic. This is worth to watch for those who are interested to work in a Japanese company. The cityscapes are modeled after real-life towns such as Ginza, Akihabara, and Kichijoji. This series is a good Japanese teaching material as difficult words are mostly words of daily life with low appearance rate. It also has a high satisfaction level as anime because the animation and direction are of a surprisingly high quality. Igarashi's cute character designs and its lovely direction are killing us. All the characters have distinctive personalities. Sakurai stands out as much as a double heroine. Personally, I especially recommend the super powerful OP!7.510771054 =54 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7468.45. Intermediate5. N3-N22021Horror/Suspence, Comedy12---Congratulations to Miko Yotsuya for winning the Girl on the year of 2021 (worldwide)! She is the heroine of "Mieruko-chan," a rather unique and entertaining series mixed with elements of horror, erotic, and comedy. There were a lot of unnecessary low camera angles that may have contributed to the votes (thanks to the production team). This is a horror comedy set in Japan today. The main character, Miko Yotsuya, suddenly becomes a girl who can see ghosts and spirits. She is spoken by them but she does her best to ignore the existence with her through skill and tries to live out a normal school life. However, a powerful spirit possesses her best friend, Hana. Miko inadvertently makes a pact with shrine spirits in an attempt to save her. This series shows many attitudes toward spirits and gods of Japanese people . First, in Japan, it has been told that the best thing you should do if you see a spirit or are spoken to by a spirit if is to ignore them. This is a kind of folklore which seems to be backed up by the fact that a person who cannot see spirits is the one who always ignores them, and therefore there is nothing happens to them. And do you know that shrines are not for making a wish, but for expressing a determination? It is such a shame to tell you that many Japanese remember this incorrectly. I want to warn you that you need to pay a reasonable price when you made a wish to God at a shrine and had your wish granted. Visiting shrine to pay the price is called “Thanksgiving visit”. What you can ask at shrine are wishes beyond human control, such as drought and long rains that are allowed only for those who always express their determination, believe in God, and do their best every day. It is usually dangerous for a newcomer to start with making a wish to God. And you should bring God’s favorite food for thanksgiving visit. You need to find out the origin of the shrine and appellative. In addition, the messenger of the gods of Inari Okami Sama is a white fox which is deified. This apparition like fox appeared in this series is not a god. Inari Okami Sama is a god of agriculture and is closely associated with people’s daily life. That is why there are about 30,000 of these shrines throughout Japan. Difficult words of this series are mostly word of daily life although there are some religious terms and slangs of the young. Intermediate level Japanese learners would be able to watch this without subtitles. Japan is a polytheistic country and there are some people making wishes to both God of shrines and temples when they are in trouble. Miko does the same. You can feel the difference in religious views and the fear of God through this series.777.56.5968.4 =68 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

7655.26. Basic6. N4-N32021Comedy, Romance12---This is a story of maintaining love triangle relationship adopted by two girlfriends. This unusual setup gives some edge to this romantic comedy. Perfectly harmonized with the hero's ultra-serious character and heroines' somewhat crazy personalities, this is such a hilarious and entertaining comedy. The hero is Naoya Mukai, who is super pure, super serious, and super devoted person. His girlfriend Saki sometimes feels his love too heavy but one day, his love is split in two. This story is writing about super serious, so pure, and new type of impure relationship, “two-time”. Those two girls are purely in love with Naoya but they don't get in each other’s way. In fact, they get along well with each other. You might ask “What the heck happened?” Well, please watch the anime to find out. This series has a lot of difficult words related to love romance and is high school level with mostly words of daily life. Recommended for those who are learning basic level Japanese as difficult words appears at low rate. Again, deadly funny! Highly recommended!5.596.58955.2 =55 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

74172.83. Extreme3. N1+2021Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy26---The thrilling and stormy storyline of Rimuru, the most powerful character, who runs into difficulties, is quite interesting (It’s a little disappointing with stalling last scene). I bet you would be satisfied with this well-balanced story line dealing with politics, diplomacy, conspiracy, and battle strategy with some comedy element. This is the second season of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”. The main character, Rimuru, is a slime who has established Jura Tempest Federation and is building a stable foothold by trading with neighboring countries. The Kingdom of Falmuth invades his country and kills his friends. We should watch how broken-hearted Rimuru overcomes difficulties and run the show. The level of honorifics is extremely high as there are many diplomatic conversations of royalty and nobility. Difficult words are college and adult student level as they cover such a wide range of fantasy terms, daily conversation, battle and military terms. Japanese level of this series is Extreme as difficult words appear in high ratio.8.5866.58172.8 =279 terms / 26 episodes * 16th grade

741084. Advanced4. N2-N12021Horror/Suspence, Comedy12---The heroine, Shiesuta, is already dead when the story begins. She is a detective. This is the story of a detective and his assistant Kimihiko for three years of their life together, and a little while after that. This is not a detective story as we say. The detective's enemy is SPES, artificial human. This is not about a detective uncovers a criminal, but a story of fighting with secret organization. And the mystery of this story is quite unusual. Difficult words of this series are mostly words used daily, but it would be difficult to watch this anime without subtitles unless being an advanced level Japanese learner. Also, we might not want to emulate Shiesuta as she speaks with a bit arrogant manner. This series has three aspects such as detective, fantasy, and romance. That is why there is a wide range of difficult language. If you like the character design, this should be worth watching. Shiesuta is adorable.7.5886.57108 =108 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade

71100.84. Advanced4. N2-N12021Sci-Fi/Fantasy13---Let us enjoy the honeymoon couple’s sweet life. But this is more than Fantasy slice of life anime as the story is quite complicated and fun to follow. The key word of this series is "Grace of God” which is originally a Buddhist term. It means that Buddha's mercy influences people and helps them. In the world of this anime, every human being has some kind of divine blessing which becomes a guide for them to live. It can be thought of as so-called "unique ability”. The main character, Gideon, has the divine blessing of "Guide" and he is on a journey to defeat the Demon King while supporting his sister who has the "Brave" divine blessing. Gideon left the Hero’s party, changed his name to Red, and opened his herb store. His old friend, Rit, moves in with him and starts living together. They enjoy the slow life like honeymoon couple in a remote town and deal with chores and some troubles. Then, his sister, a brave warrior, comes to visit him. Difficult words of this series are mostly word of daily life with some words related to battle. However, Japanese level is advanced as this is not a simple story of fantasy world. Recommended for Japanese learners who are bored of ordinary fantasy story. My score is "Not too bad."7.57768100.8 =108 terms / 13 episodes * 12th grade

7092.85. Intermediate5. N3-N22021Action/Battle, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror/Suspence24---This is a suspense anime of time travel and there are many violent scenes featuring the delinquent. You might want to skip this if you are not comfortable with violence. The main character, Takemichi, is a 26-year-old part-time worker. He lives a life without money or a girlfriend. One day, he learns that his junior high school girlfriend, Hinata and her brother, Naoto died. He falls onto a station platform and finds himself time leaped 12 years ago at the year of 2005. He lived his junior high school years and returns to the present to save Hinata. Difficult words of this series include words of daily life, terms related to fighting, delinquent terms, and slang of the young, and many others. The Japanese level is intermediate but the content, difficult words, and speaking style are quite special. Studying Japanese with this series is not so recommended. Takemichi and other delinquents add "su" for the ending. The athlete club people also use this which is not honorific. For the review, it feels like watching today’s version of Re:Zero. No offense. Anyway, this storyline is interesting. The wimpy hero facing up to his own weakness is cool. It is difficult to evaluate the story based on the first season alone as this series is continued to the second season. Looking forward to the sequel.7777792.8 =138 terms / 24 episodes * 16th grade

70118.44. Advanced4. N2-N12021Romance, Comedy, Sci-Fi/Fantasy12---This is a love story set in Japan between 1921 and 1923. To be realistic for the era, Japanese on the screen are read from the right and Kanji characters are written in traditional form. Difficult words of this series are mostly old-fashioned words that appear in old novels and they are college and adult student level. The heroine, Yuzuki who was purchased by Shima family speaks high level of honorifics. In the winter of 1921, Tamahiko Shima lost his right arm in an accident. He was completely abandoned by his cold father. He becomes a pessimist who hates the world and does not value himself. Yuzuki was purchased and bought as a wife to take care of Tamahiko, but he is not interested in her or any other thing. However, he gradually turns to Yuzuki, falls in love with her, and vows to live a decent life as a human being. The is a story of his spiritual growth, is a love story, and is also a story of Japanese history during this period. In this era, the male domination of women was taken for granted, there is the big gap between rich and poor, and human trade was done frequently. Some people like Tamahiko's father value bloodline and origins without regard for their family. There are many children who were not able to go to school working as apprentices. The image of the title and the cover picture is contrasting to this realistic drama. The final episode is quite touchy. Good for advanced Japanese learner who are interested in Japan.8.5766.57118.4 =88 terms / 12 episodes * 16th grade

Let me explain about "Momotaro" before watching this anime. “Momotaro" is a story about a child who was born from a peach goes to expedition of ogres with attendants. This is not only an adventure story but also featuring our eternal theme of “The Evil of Discrimination”. The main character is Sarutorīnu Arudareiku(Sally), a princess of a small country, who goes on a journey and meets a demi-human, Frau. Sally has doubts to see Frau suffering discrimination from the village or country. They make journey together fighting battles with ogres to seeking the best solution for them. Japanese level of this series is advanced as the difficult words including fantasy terms appear with high rate. I would say this anime is not so amusing even though it has exciting and interesting elements and a theme (the abolition of discrimination).

If we can make the world peaceful by sharing the same meal, the same time, and the same space with different species, I really wish to bring peace for the world of 2022 by doing so. This fantasy anime is the second season of "Restaurant to Another World”. It is set in a restaurant, "The Western Restaurant Nekoya” which is connected to another world only on Saturdays. This anime series is composed of one-shot episode which is good to study Japanese. This is an ensemble drama of Nekoya's customers for you to enjoy their memories about the food and their food reports. Difficult words are fantasy terms and rather old-fashioned words but most of them are words of daily life including food. Also, they appear at low rate. Recommended for basic level Japanese learner. The waitress Aletta’s Japanese is good for emulation if you are female learner and emulating Japanese of the Master who uses masculine language and simple honorifics is good for male learner. You would be better off if you study the vocabulary related to food before you come to Japan. Recommended Japanese learning material.6.576.56.5751.6 =51 terms / 12 episodes * 12th grade
