Sankarea 06

Episode 6 did a great job in concluding Rea’s hide-and-seek dilemma while also leaving us with an interesting twist at the end. That being Rea’s slight ‘arousal’ from licking Furuya’s blood.

What should’ve been a sad and teary moment between Kuroyukihime and Haruyuki ...

Fan con­sensus begins to decide where is the best place to start, what to skip, where to move next, what the cor­rect chro­no­lo­gical order is. To a new­comer, this can all be intim­id­at­ing.

Now that I’ve covered the Japanese syllabary and writing systems, in this section I’ll be going over the basics of Japanese sentences. To me, the most fundamental parts of Japanese grammar are particles and the “to be” verb, です(desu), which is what I’ll be discussing here in Part 3… です(desu)/だ(da) The verb です(desu) and its informal equivalent ...
