先週に私は「ガチアクタ」というあたらしいアニメを見ました。とてもかっこいいですよ！
A friend once recommended this anime to me, but at the time I was watching another one. Now I’ve finally started it and I’ve been liking it a lot! Gachiakuta tells the story of Rudo (main character) who lives in a dystopian world in which socioeconomic differences are extreme. In this world, all objects have a soul and their soul is strengthened depending on the amount of care/attention they receive. Rudo, and other people, can bring up the soul of the object and then use them to fight. I’m excited with the story development and I find the animation style very pretty and creative.
Yes! In relation to my Japanese language study, I was able to recognize some words and expressions in Japanese and learn a couple others by relating their Japanese audio with the English subtitles. Regarding the acquisition of cultural knowledge, I believe the underlying plot of ‘every object having its own soul’ is related to Japanese culture (after a little research, I found out that it is called “Tsukumogami”).
Well, that’s it for this week!
Thanks a lot for reading and see you next time!
じゃあ、また！
