I'm watching an anime called "Death Note". It's been a long time since/that I wanted to watch it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It was once available on Netflix, but it disappeared overnight, which resulted in me not being able to watch it. I went all over the internet to see if maybe it was available somewhere, but only a few episodes were available and that with a voice distortion. It's really unpleasant, but I eventually gave up. Later on, I found the complete anime in a dubbed version by chance. Of course, I would've like to watch it with the original voices, but it cannot be helped, no episodes in VO. I was still excited at the idea of being able to watch it so I didn't hesitate and binge-watched it. Now, there's 7 episodes left beforfe I finish it for good.
I found it great for improving my English comprehension. I could understand everything without much complication, but I tested myself again to see if I could do the same with any contents, but it was a total flop. I wasn't discouraged anyway, but I thought about how I could improve that part, which is completely be able to undersatand my target language in any context.
The thing with anime is that they really articulate everything, which makes it easier to understand. I think it's because it's not an original version. I've realized that most dubbed version tend to be like that. I don't know if you can tell, but it really looks like it's not an original version. I also think that they also articultate each word to emphasize some emotions; the slower it is the better it is to capture the impact of every single word it has on the characters themselves, but also the viewers.
Anyway, If you're into anime. I'd recommend this one. If not, I still recommend it because it really helps, especially if English is your target language.
Happy Tuesday, everyone :)
