![]() ![]() And watching anime in Japanese with subtitles is still helpful with learning Japanese anyway. I stuck with the mindset I always had of “If I’m gonna watch something, I want to make sure I understand it as best as I can.” I would study Japanese in other ways, but watching anime was always something I wanted to be engrossed in and be sure that I caught everything that was said. ![]() Even when I started my formal study of Japanese in late 2004, I still had no desire to watch anime raw. Everything else I watched in those years was either a dub on TV or with subtitles via fansubs or official DVDs. However a recent post by froggykun got me thinking about the what, why, and when of my viewing of raw anime…įor roughly the first six years of my time as an anime fan, I probably watched less than 10 episodes worth of anime raw, basically all of which were episodes of Pokemon or Mon Colle Knights that I watched raw either out of curiosity or because a good sub/dub wasn’t available to me. In past posts I’ve talked about the subtitle quality in anime we watch, as well as anime dubs, but I never specifically wrote about watching anime in its “pure” form – raw in Japanese without any subtitles.
