Hi all – I’m wondering if there are pre-made collections of kanji/vocab flash cards for popular media in some handy app. Is this maybe what Anki is for? Specifically I’m looking for a collection of Ace Attorney vocab. Maybe even a vocab list would be a good start.
Background – I live in Japan and I get by fine day to day but my literacy needs improvement. I can see the benefit of making flashcards while reading stuff but in reality I seldom do it, so I thought maybe a premade deck to flip through on my phone while doing stuff like waiting for my kids would be a good addition. I’ve never messed around with Anki but I have a notion that maybe this kind of stuff is there? I downloaded Ace Attorney a while back, and see it frequently mentioned, I’m hoping that means there’s handy materials around it someplace.
Anyone have any favorite Japanese movies that involve college students / a college setting? Personally I really liked 探偵物語 (たんていものがたり *Detective Story*)(1983) and 回路 (かいろ *Circuit*)(2001)

I recently finished Bunpro N4 grammar/vocab over the summer and am considering doing a pivot/addition to my learning style.
Originally i intended on reducing my study time by a good amount once i was at n4 and exchanging that with more immersion time.
However im having self doubt over the results of pure immersion for me on a personal level. I read mainly tadoku/nhk easy/manga but even n5 things have not clicked in a way that would allow me output them.
Would i be crazy if i put off learning anything new for a month(while still reviewing what i know) and practicing writing sentences for every grammar point i know to try and correct me ignoring output? Or should i trust in more immersion.

Are the tariffs going to affect people buying digital media like kindle books from Amazon jp
I’ve been learning about verbs, and I read from some sites that ichidan verbs use -iru/-eru endings, but other sites say -ru endings. Are there any ichidan verbs that end with aru-oru-uru?
Proposal for the mods (tagging u/Moon_Atomizer and u/Fagon_Drang):
Can we put something in either the text body or pinned comment about not deleting/removing your questions after you post them?
It’s always been very annoying but seems to be happening more than ever lately and I think I speak for everyone who contributes here that it’s actively destructive to the purpose of these threads as well as incredibly rude to both people who reply and other learners.
It seems there are a lot of verb conversations
Like I know there’s only really 3 main types of ru, u and original… Is it better to memorize allb the conjugations for each word or recognize types and add lots of immersion? Looking for opinions not facts
I am a bit confused about not using “wa” with questions words
In genki it says you should use “ga” with questions words but with “Where” I have seen wa being used like
コンビニはどこですか
And also I have seen people giving example of :
Denwa bangoo wa nan desu ka
So howcome wa is used here ?
