Four weeks ago I started watching 私を食べたい、ひとでなし with English subtitles
The dialogue seemed simple enough, so today I rewatched ep1 without subs.
I think I’ll watch it weekly, and let the no-sub lag those 4 weeks behind, because that’s enough time to remember what generally happened but forget the dialogue.
It’s a good anime, it’s current season and the episodes are releasing weekly.
I also watched some more Shirokuma cafe.
I feel like I’m slowly reaching the point where immersion no longer feels like a pain.

The VA is doing SUCH a great job, I could listen to her for hours (hope she gets an award or something for this role). So this one is def on my watch again (this time wothout subtitles) list, too

Yes!!
I really love the MC’s internal monologues. Probably the first time I rewinded because I liked it and wanted to hear it again, rather than for not understanding something.

As someone who consequently sticks to his plans I watched some more 私を食べたい、ひとでな, almost catching up despite what I initially said.
And some more しろくまカフェ. But I think I’ll drop it. I don’t like it a lot and I’m only watching it because it’s “understandable”. If I find something I like more on a similar language level, I’ll drop that.

The moment I started understanding しろくま i noticed how utterly boring it was 
I liked wonderful precure very much, but couldn’t get into the other precures. Even if you’re not into magical girls, I would give this one a try at least. It’s very easy
Edit: As a bonus, wonderful precure features the VA from 私を食べたい、ひとでなし as one of the precures

Not immersion, but I’m feeling better about my anki reviews Today.
I watched a kids program about イナゴ grasshoppers and another Episode of Blue Exorcist. I finished the Aomori part.
I also Volunteered at the community center to teach people how to make mashed potatoes and gravy?? In Japanese. I’ve litteraly never made mashed potatoes or gravy. so wish me luck!
I’m sure at the very least they’ll call you mashed potato上手 
Good luck!
I watched 星追う子供, taught people how to make mashed potatoes and gravy and Read book 2 of Inuyasha.

I take back what I said about shirokuma cafe, I’ve been consistently watching between 0.5 and 1 episodes a day. It’s convenient that a 20 min episode is usually split into two plots…
Slowly I’m approaching the point where I can see that immersion is doing more than SRS and I should definitely immerse much more.

Read book 4 of Inuyasha and another episode of Blue Exorcist this is my list of new words
蝦蟇 がま
武蔵 むさし
難儀する なんぎ
馳走になる ちそう
尾張 おわり
I own books 1-5 of Inuyasha. Then I’ll read a novel.
This immersion log is cute! Is mostly everyone here studying in Japan or in other countries?
Thanks to the CloudFlare outage I was unable to work in the afternoon, but I was also unable to do my Bunpro reviews.
So we have:
1 Episode of “Interviewing Japan” (JP Subs version from the patreon)
1 Episode of 私を食べたい、ひとでなし
2 Episodes or しろくまカフェ
Together with my new completely overengineered setup of one-click Anki card creation (310 lines of bash code) I mined 17 sentences from those.
This weekend I will probably extend the script to not only make Anki cards but add the terms to Bunpro, too. Still have to think about how. Probably in a Wanikani sync fashion where I add the words at a high SRS stage once they’re past a certain stage in Anki, to practice both recall and recognition.
