For starters, once you\u2019ve decided to learn Japanese, you\u2019ll have access to one of the fastest growing niches in the entertainment industry, anime. Not only will you gain access to it, but its use will become two-fold. What this means is that you can learn from it and keep yourself entertained at the same time! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, I\u2019ll be going over four of the best anime for beginner Japanese learners to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Disclaimer: Many of the words used in Japanese anime aren\u2019t necessarily used in real life conversations and may come off as odd or even unintelligible in some cases. So, be sure to do your research and learn new things accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top 4 Anime For Beginners To Watch<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_176593117\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176593117\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-176593117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2.png\" alt=\"Doraemon\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2.png 700w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-600x257.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176593117\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of Shogakukan Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doraemon<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doraemon is a favorite among kids and adults. I even remember my Japanese language teacher in college teaching us how to say the words for simple things like the movie theatre. The anime features a young boy by the name of Nobita who has many everyday troubles such as bullying, poor grades and relationship issues. Luckily one of his descendants from the future was considerate enough to send a futuristic robot back into the past to be his guardian. This robot is named Doraemon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll learn common words that you would probably use in everyday life seeing as the anime was originally made for kids. Also, since the situations aren\u2019t too crazy or out of pocket, you\u2019ll have a easy time comprehending what is being said based on the context. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pok\u00e9mon<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_176593118\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176593118\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-176593118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pokemon.jpg\" alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon \" width=\"820\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pokemon.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pokemon-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pokemon-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pokemon-600x263.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176593118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Believe it or not, most people forget that Pok\u00e9mon is a Japanese production. You can\u2019t really blame them either since it is mostly played in its English counterpart outside of Japan. But, watching Pok\u00e9mon in the original Japanese version you\u2019ll be absolutely amazed at the amount of useful information you can acquire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides from learning 300+ Japanese Pok\u00e9mon names topics related to friendship are often discussed as that is the common theme of the series. Of course, you\u2019ll run into more complex words like \u201claboratory\u201d or \u201csecret organizations,\u201d but those still have their place in your word lists, so go ahead and learn them anyway. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pok\u00e9mon will give you a fantastic balance between adventure, hard work, and motivation. It\u2019ll be sure to leave you feeling like it\u2019s a brand-new day every episode and will keep your language learning spirits high!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hunter X Hunter<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_176593119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176593119\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-176593119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/4.png\" alt=\"Hunter X Hunter\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/4.png 700w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/4-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/4-600x257.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176593119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of Shueisha Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one will have you on the edge of your sit! Hunter X Hunter is arguably the best Shounen anime out to date, being contested by few others. The genre is adventure, but there are moments of intense action that\u2019ll have your jaw clenched. With the first episode, you\u2019ll meet a boy by the name of Gon who sets out to become a \u201cHunter\u201d which is the equivalent of a hero in more simple terms. Along the way, he meets other individuals with that same goal in mind and they come across various obstacles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLn7iYKq-G3PKbpPv_QTzFHETugwSdT67I\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-176600493 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Japanese_Blog-Banner-1-1024x288.jpg\" alt=\"Learn Japanese with the LingQ podcast\" width=\"870\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Japanese_Blog-Banner-1-1024x288.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Japanese_Blog-Banner-1-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Japanese_Blog-Banner-1-768x216.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Japanese_Blog-Banner-1-600x169.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Japanese_Blog-Banner-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The anime rises and falls with moments of cartoon friendly interactions and philosophical lessons topped off with a spruce of fighting. When it comes to vocabulary and grammar, you\u2019re certainly in for a wild ride. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story is narrated by a third-party during moments of intense emotion, and it almost feels as if he\u2019s speaking slow motion. Every word is clearly pronounced with the right amount of stress and intonation and while there are a few curveballs in there you\u2019ll still benefit a great deal with the right amount of listening practice!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shirokuma Cafe<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_176593120\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-176593120\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-176593120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5.png\" alt=\"Shirokuma Cafe\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5.png 700w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-600x257.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-176593120\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of Shueisha Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This anime is one of the most popular and recommended in the Learn Japanese community on Reddit. It revolves around a group of animals mingling amongst each other and talking about their everyday lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes this so popular with the Japanese learning community is the dialogue, which is closely related to everyday conversation (with lots of dry humor added in between). Also, since it\u2019s an anime geared towards a younger audience, the dialogue shouldn\u2019t be difficult for high-level beginners.

For example, having new characters pop by, pausing your screen, then looking them in another dictionary up is a bit tedious, especially if you&#8217;re doing this over and over again. Also, if you want to take your anime on the go and use it on your mobile, how can you possibly read those tiny subtitles?!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s LingQ. LingQ allows you to import your favorite anime and turn them into interactive lessons.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the lesson in LingQ using Shirokuma Cafe&#8217;s audio and transcript.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this so great for beginners is:<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s easy to read<br \/>\nYou can look up your new words by a simple tap, save them, and review them in LingQ<br \/>\nYou can listen to the audio<br \/>\nUsing LingQ&#8217;s mobile app, you can take your lessons anywhere you go and increase your study time<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, check out LingQ&#8217;s article about importing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/05\/anime-subtitles\/\">anime subtitles<\/a> to see how easy it is to import content.<\/p>\n<p>You can try LingQ\u2019s language learning app for free.
