I liked the comic book of that

[Angelic]

Inuyasha is my favorite... Dragon Ball Z is good (although GT kind of sucks), and Yu Yu Hakusho is okay.

Spirited Away (Or the Japanese title: The Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro)

More accurately (because I'm bored and have nothing better to do) the japanese title would be 'Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi' or

Using that at face value that would make yours "Sen and Chihiro's [experience of] being Spirited away"

It's sometimes written as "Chihiro to Sen is spirited away" or in your form " The spiriting away of Chihiro to Sen"

the reasoning for writing 'Chihiro to Sen', is based on the film itself because Chihiro (meaning- "thousand fathoms") had her name stolen to become the number Sen "thousand"

It is also because I have my mind set on the idea that "no" translates as "is" and not "are" ^^;;

I understand that the actual idea of the film (as shown by "and") is that Sen is always Chihiro, and Chihiro is always Sen, so your "Chihiro and Sen" is probably more correct than my "Chihiro to Sen"

But I can try to legitimise mine in another way
The term kamikakusi (spirited away) is is based on the idea that it used to be said that missing children had been "spirited away" ... in a sense Chihiro goes missing, and so Sen 'becomes' when Chihiro is spirited away, and Chihiro becomes when Sen is spirited away.

The film is about Sen... only at the end is it about Chihiro once again... and so "Sen to Chihiro is spirited away"
If you lead through this assigning meaning to the words its a bit like a puzzle-
"Sen to Chihiro is spirited away"
or with different words "Sen is spirited away to Chihiro"
which can be seen as 'Sen goes to Chihiro' or 'Sen and Chihiro come together/become one'

Which leads us to the ultimate end implied by your term of 'and', but that allows the term 'is'



Or, if you like word play-

"Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi" - change this to "Sentou Chihiro no kamikakushi" and you get "Bath-house Chihiro is spirited away"/"The spiriting away of Bath-house Chihiro" ... which is strangely apt, when you consider the film

And yes, I did say that I was bored

/me blinks

Where did that come from? Ah, wouldn't you like to know
Heh, I have all sorts of useless knowlege in my brain that forced the useful stuff out long ago- that particular segment came from my love of anime ^^

日本語勉強してるなの?
いいえ ^^;
Ack... eh heh... way to oust a girl ^^
否私は

私は私がことを望む ^^
(I'm also not sure that's right >_< it should say "[I] wish I did" but I'm not convinced...)

I wanted to, but I couldn't pay for a course, nor find anyone to learn from. So I started trying to teach myself... note the 'trying'.
Mind you... I've been reading the novel ふしぎ遊戯外 青藍伝 [Fushigi Yuugi Seiran Den (The mysterious play, Indigo Transmission/Story/Legend)] for the last two years, and I think I finally sorta understand it now ^^;;

I just... meh, I can't write japanese. I end up with boxes... the boxes being the reason why I didn't write much... its sorta trial and error what characters the computer will accept

P.S. I wish I did = ~ばよかった

パーティーに行けばよかった
I wish I had gone to the party

あの時、｢愛してる｣と言えばよかった
I should have told her I loved her

なっと食べなければよかった
I wish I hadn't eaten that natto

positive
taberu => take off "u" add "eba" => tabereba
Applies to all verbs

negative
shininai => take off "i" add "kereba" => shininakereba
Applies to all verbs

~ba is also a way to say "if"

But you probably know that one.

[Charon]

Letsee...

Yep I taught myself... although it seems you've done far far better in your 11 months than I have in my on-and-off two years ^^
As for how I study, I do my studying with the aid of dictionaries, phrase books and 'teach yourself japanese' style guides... with some manga and other peoples translations of said mangas thrown in there for variety...
And hence due to my lack of discipline (insert excuses, insert some more excuses... etc) I'm not very good

I used to have a (very patient) friend who would help me learn japanese by attempting to have conversations with me, (and admittedly when I was still having the conversations my grip on the language was better... now its all sorta degenerated ^^)
But they vanished long ago, so anything I do now is by book

And yes, I know I make things excessively wordy and repetitive, and that I could cut out half of what I say...



Sheesh... its been a very long time since I've even tried to use my weak japanese skills. Heheh, I blame the rust



*crosses her fingers and hopes she made sense and that her scrawls are readable*
Yep, I know... annoying ain't I? ^^ This time not only do you get wordy incorrect grammar, you get it poorly scribbled and scanned in (right-left downwards formatting) Sowwy
If I get the symbols properly, I'll be all nice and put those in later

Edit: Thankyou for the "I wish" and the grammar lesson

Naruto is the best, enough said. My close seconds are .hack//sign, and my first anime, which isn't listed, Nightwalker, it's very interesting, with little or no nudity
