Reference Resource Mondays: It’s That Week I Suppose

Yep, Young Black Jack Oh yeah, you know it’s time to read some good articles that took place while I was finishing up the summer anime season.

Here’s some good tips from Lynn on breaking into JLPT N1, or code for learning Japanese better.
Congratulations to one of the first unique blogs I found when I started blogging, Beneath The Tangles, as they’ve turned 5 years old.
I think the only surprise that came out of Muse blogging Attack on Titan: Junior High is that she put down cold hard cash for a FUNimation subscription. The power of Titan is real.
Let’s just say FUNimation provided some feedback on the Prison School kerfuffle. It went about as well as you expected.
This:

We want it all. We want the colony vs. Earth dynamic. We want the useless princess. We want the brooding protagonist who is supposed to be Japanese yet looks like a Kurdish kid fighting against ISIS. We want the uncomfortable scenes that will become centerpieces for yaoi doujinshi. That’s the Gundam we want.

Let’s just say that made it an easy inclusion into this week’s RRM.
You’re gonna need to read these translated interviews of the Sound! Euphonium staff, because they’re very good.
Finally, Kevin with an excellent premier on what is called Sakuga. It’s not complex, honest.
