Folktales from Japan Anime - LittleRedRidingHood - 2012-10-26

Hi everyone, I came across this anime on Crunchyroll. Each episode contains 3 children's folktales. What's interesting is that the language used is very childish and hence easy to understand. Perfect for a learner!!

Just thought I'd add something about Crunchyroll that people may not know about. On all fairly recent (up to a few years old) episodes, you can right click the video and turn off the subtitles.

Wow, this wasn't always true, for the longest time you could only do this if you had a premium account. It used to be hard-subbed at the lowest resolution.

Ah, I have a premium account, so I can't say if it works without. Have you tried?

Edit: Just tried and works just fine even without premium.

Yep - but make sure you don't have your language in your Video Preferences setting set to 日本語. This trips a bug in CR whereby the site will give you videos with hard-coded Portuguese subtitles. :-p I had a problem with my account where I couldn't switch the language back, and could only get Portuguese or English hard-subs. Fortunately, the good folks at CR fixed it. A number of language learners use CR for immersion, and the company seems cool about supporting that.

Also, be warned that you can't turn off subtitles on their mobile app. They have to hard-code subs for mobile devices for performance reasons.
