Nichijou and Yotsuba& are both great resources for that as a beginner I believe. Yotsuba for reading and nichijou for animé, although I believe they also have a manga

I suppose that any Slice of Life anime could serve as a good listening resource as they are usually slowpaced stories with lots of daily life dialogues.

Bocchi the Rock!, Nichijou and Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! can be some good takes.

Would something like Tonari no kaibutsu kun, Kakuriyo:Bed and breakfast for the spirits, Shugo Chara or Kamisama Hajimemashita work aswell?

I agree with the other posts that slice of life anime/manga are a good option. However, if slice of life isn't your favorite genre, children's manga will typically have a simpler vocabulary while being broader in content. Personally I'd recommend Beyblade (which has both anime and manga), as the Japanese is overall pretty basic, though it leans towards the informal and doesn't use much formal or polite Japanese.

I have other suggestions to if you want some anime/manga that aren't slice of life but still relatively basic Japanese, though of course I understand if you like slice of life that's unnecessary. kao_great.png

Best place to start is to just rewatch your favorite shows that you're familiar with, without subtitles. When you start immersive learning for the first time, you're going to struggle with a lot of it going over your head. But if you remember the general outline of how it went, that provides context for you to fill in the gaps. Match up the parts you can understand for confirmation, and figure out the parts you don't quite understand based on what you remember it should be.

It'll also just be slightly less frustrating to do it with a show you know and love. Because again, immersive learning is hard and you're going to struggle at first, so a favorite show you're attached to will help make it at least a little fun.

I guess some other anime I'd recommend would be Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball, and Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai. I would say their vocabularies are a step above Beyblade, but they still generally have pretty basic Japanese. They're also all pretty easy to find available on streaming in Japanese.

Haikyuu is a great option for around N5-N4 listening practice kao_great.png A lot of the characters use relatively simple Japanese, and I found it a very helpful resource! Not only that, but it's an all-around amazing anime kao_ball.png I would definitely recommend it!

Ah I watched Haikyuu about a 2 or so years ago, and it was really good (I really enjoyed it) but do you have any other recommendations similar to haikyuu? (Like with simple speach but still an all around interesting anime?kao_sparkle.png)

Hmm I recently watched Loving Yamada at lvl999 english dub! And at the time I was trying to learn reading more than anything. But would it be a good option listening?

i also enjoyed Kamisama Hajimemashita and Sugar Apple Fairytale ( I watched the dubbed versions) would these too be good options?kao_think.png
