Anderson Blog Post 2: AOT episode 1

My favorite anime so far is Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人). I found episode 1 online; here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSNWdlHuVsA. This show brought me into Japanese culture, and this, being the first episode, really shows what is to come throughout the show. I watched it subbed in English and dubbed in Japanese, so hearing the language impacted how I try to speak it now. Also, it includes many cultural gestures and mannerisms that I would not have found if I hadn't watched the show. It is fantastic, and if you have the time, I recommend watching the whole series.

    AoT was also one of the first anime I watched, and still one of my favorite, so I for sure second the recommendation. One thing I have been enjoying through this class is slowly understanding more about Japanese, such as how the Japanese title works grammatically (Shingeki no Kyojin), where Shingeki (attack) modifies Kyojin (Giant/Titan), and thus is slightly different than the English title.

Anderson Blog Post 4: Origami and Kendama

 Konnichiwa! Today, I had the chance to make Origami and try out Kendama at the cultural fair in the Hesburgh Scholars Lounge!

Origami was fun and relaxing, I made two shurikens during my time at the table. Overall it was a very positive experience!  Sayoonara!
