  I watched the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie this last Saturday. I thought that it was a great movie. The music done by Kensuke Ushio, who is also the artist for other films like "A Silent Voice" and other anime sound tracks splendidly created an emotional and beautiful collection of songs to accompany this amazing movie. The almost psychedelic action, accompanied in its first half by soft almost artfully crafted slow scenes, really adds to the movie's overall experience. It has made me enjoy Tatsuki Fujimoto's work even more, and now I want to be able to speak and read Japanese to be able to understand it in an entirely different way: through Japanese. Overall, I think the experience has shown me just how masterful anime can be when done well; this movie is a great representation of that; and it makes me wonder about all the other amazing work that Japanese artists, writers, and filmmakers put out. 

日本に行ったら’しまなみ海道'というところに行きたいです。自転車で四国と広島を見に行こうと思っています。しまなみ海道は初心者にも走りやすいそうだ。島が連なっているみたいだ。しまなみ海道は橋が一つだけじゃありません。大きな橋と綺麗な景色と綺麗な景色が見られます。日本に行く前に、自転車を予約しておきます。それから日本に行った後で、新幹線を乗って、広島に行きます。天気が良かったら、厳島に行きたい。厳島がお寺や鳥居を見られるそうだ。その後日本で自転車に乗ったことがないので、しまなみ海道を走ってみたいです。

  Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is one of the greatest anime to come out in recent years. I watched the entire anime, but multiple times I would hear Japanese phrases that I already knew. One of the interesting things about hearing the dialogue in Frieren is the stark differences in how the main character Frieren talks to her close friends and people she loves around her, how that develops, and how that differs from how she talks to demons. At first in the story, Frieren is hundreds of years old, she treats most people with indifference, which comes out in curt and polite responses; sometimes becoming blunt. But, as her perspective of the world changes, her speech starts becoming more casual with characters like Fern. Further, this can be seen in her speech with demons, which is would be very rude and casual Japanese. Overall, the anime exposed to me the minute differences in speech in Japanese, and how using different forms can come off as polite, rude, or indifferent.
