This weekend, I watched the latest season of Record of Ragnarok, an anime about the fate of humanity, decided based on battles against humanity's greatest champions versus the gods. It's been a while since I last watched anime, but like with most of Japenese anime I watch, this was another thrilling, emotionally-evoking watch with a touching story to deliver. Linguistically, I re-engaged in a lot of understanding of Japanese rhythm and intonation in converstaions. Something I noticed in the episode was the respectful gestures and nature of mannerisms for those who are more respected based on age, status, and power. It was also so cool to able to read some of the hiragana texts present in the anime :))
Wow, Chloe, Record of Ragnarok sounds like a great show! I also love anime, we should get a class watch party for the next episode, so we can all discuss the fate of humanity!
