My Study of Japanese

マクミランさんは食戟のソーマをみる This week I watched the second episode of the final season of Shokugeki no Souma (食戟のソーマ). It is a shonen series centered around "cooking battles" between chefs. The protagonist Yukihira Souma (幸平創真（ゆきひら そうま)) is the son of a famous chef, that enrolls in a prestigious culinary arts high school called the Tōtsuki Tea Ceremony and Cooking Academy (遠月茶寮料理學園 Tōtsuki Saryō Ryōri Gakuen). The story has followed his growth as a chef and his struggles to protect the cooking world from the clutches of would-be evil exploiters. The premise a bit goofy, but I enjoy watching this show much more than I originally thought I would! This episode saw Souma and his classmates compete with each other to secure Tōtsuki's three reserved spots for the most premier cooking competition in the world: the BLUE. Souma and his friends Tadokoro Megumi (田所 恵 (たどころ めぐみ)) and Aldini Takumi (アルディーニ 拓海 (たくみ)) secure the spots, but the episode ends on a cliffhanger when a new sensei

迷惑 世界には迷惑な人がたくさんいます。 私のこえが大きいので、人に迷惑をかけると思います... しずかな場所で話したら、人に迷惑をかけます。 迷惑な人は大こえで話したりひまであったりするようなことをすると思います。 たとえば、私は迷惑な人にチームプロジェクトだけで仕事をさせられました。 でも、私は臆病なので、文句を言いませんでした ... けれども、人に迷惑をかけないように、ていねいにがんばっています！

マクミランさんは僕のヒーローアカデミアを見る After months and months this season of Boku no Hero Academia has finally come to a close! I really enjoyed this season as seeing the big fight scenes finally animated (instead of just reading them in manga form) was super cool. This finale episode focused on the Flame Hero Endeavor (フレイムヒーロー エンデヴァー), who is Todoroki's dad and also the new number 1 Japanese Hero after All Might retired during the events of last season. In this episode Endeavor battles a super-powered "noumu" (creatures created by the League of Villains) with the help of other pro heroes like the number 2 hero: Wing Hero Hawks (ウィングヒーロー ホーク). After a really awesome fight scene Endeavor barely wins, and he earns the praise of the Japanese citizens as the true successor to All Might's legacy.  It has been very interesting to watch this season alongside my Japanese studies for this year. I can now understand the grammar behind some of the translations I see as the subtitles. F

オンラインクラス 今のところ、私はオンラインクラスが好きじゃありません。 私たちは家にいなければならない理由をりかいしていますが、それでも私はかなしいです。 クラスメートと個人な話すなど、オンラインクラスではできないことがたくさんあります。 そして、だれもが家にいるので、インターネットコネクションはとても悪いです... まだ、多くの先生は私たちにたくさん宿題させてくれますし、先生ににれんらくするのは難しいです。 でも、わたしは先生ががんばってることを知っています。 私はこの問題が二度と起こらないことをねがっています！

マクミランさんはドロヘドロを見る This week I decided to watch the 3-D anime adaptation of a famous seinen manga: Dorohedoro. The story is about a post-apocalypse world where most people live in horrible slums called "the Hole" while powerful sorcerers who utilize magic in the form of smoke live in a separate "world". Sorcerers often practice their magic on normal people, their experiments killing or disfiguring them. A man named Caiman was the subject to one of these experiments, losing his memory and being transformed into a lizard monster immune to magic! Now he and his friend Nikaido fight every sorcerer they come across looking for the sorcerer that transformed Caiman, with hopes of transforming him back. The series is extremely violent and has a twisted sense of humor, but I think thats what makes it so popular. It is probably one of the most famous modern mangas by a female mangaka, which is very cool. In the first episode Caiman's exploits make him the target of

地球の温暖化 さいきん、せかいの気温はあたたかくなってきています。 これは、人間がにさんかたんそを作りすぎているためです。 むだらしい人は食べすぎ、車やひこうきで旅行しすぎ、世界にがいをおよぼすものを使いすぎです。 地球の温暖化は洪水、台風、ほかのさいがいにつながります。 ざんねんながら、地球の温暖化の問題はせいじのようなものだから、人々は一緒に働きたくないと思います。 うまくいけば、人々は地球の温暖化を止めるために働くことが出来ます。
