WTF??? :shock: :shock: :shock:

I didn't know they had streaming services. Well I know of Funimation since a lot of anime I've watched was brought over to the English speaking world via Funimation. But I'll have to check out Crunchy Roll.

Speaking of anime, I'm debating about starting to watch One Piece. The only problem is that if I did, I'd have to start from the beginning (just because I don't know where else to start). I read the manga (in English :() but I'm still catching up - I'm on chapter 654 of 765. But a friend of mine who's caught up on the manga and watches the anime and movies, recommended I just watch the movies. What do you think księżycowy (or anyone else who has an opinion!)?

To be honest, my interest in One Piece waxes and wanes. Don't get me wrong, I like it and all, but between the amount of episodes and the filler, it does get a bit tired for me after a while. But I do keep going back after my breaks. :lol:

I've never seen any of the movies, so I don't know much about them.

Too bad, most of the stuff sold here are disgusting horror flicks (A guy kidnaps a couple, tortures them and jerks them off, then gives them a blink of hope and after that tortures them some more, in the end he kills the guy and cuts off the girl's head and guess what?

I do too actually, but it's really hard to find Japanese films online with English subs. I've watched a lot of the Japanese films on Netflix and some were good but a lot of them seems to be really highly violent or soft core pornos (I hope I'm allowed to say that). I have a hard time watching extremely violent movies (some are okay like I didn't have a problem with Kill Bill or Django because they were pretty cartoonish), and even though anime might be violent, it's not as bad to watch because the character's look fake already. And I can't stand horror movies especially slasher ones.

David I think you would love CrunchyRoll, I have only be on it for like two days and I'm loving it. They have so much free content I can't believe it. They even have a forum and a store! I'm seriously thinking of getting a Madoka shirt or keychain :P

Sorry guys I haven't been updating or on unilang much (or any forum lately) because I have been extremely busy preparing for my finals and a family emergency (I have a really sick Uncle who we don't think will make it to the end of the month). So things have been really stressful lately.

I'm really shocked at how easy Swedish is. Even when I first started French on Duolingo (which I had previous knowledge of) I was loosing hearts on the lessons. I thought Swedish would be really hard like German. I'm so amazed. Maybe I will make an update about what I have learned so far.

This Arabic project and final is absolutely killing me. For the final I have memorize a paragraph of an Arabic article my teacher picked and it sounds easy but it isn't I haven't read it completely perfect without error yet. I also have to write a paragraph in Arabic about my hobbies. And also connect letters and there is a dictation. My project is on Arabic music and I have to write a research paper on the different styles of Arabic music from each region and make a power point. At least I get a week break afterwards before intersession starts.

Update: So after thinking it over I think I'm going to focus on Levantine Arabic and fus7a. Of course with al-kitaab i still have look over the Egyptian videos and vocabulary but my teacher is from Iraq and has lived most of his life in Jordan. He said for his help we should do Levantine because he does not speak Egyptian or understand it very well :P
