I don't know why but when I first watched the entire Erin's challenge series (I did this without any subtitles as a gauge/challenge), I was about to relatively follow the story. Much easier to follow with Japanese subs. But when I just hear the audio without visual cues, eh not so much lol
When I watch dramas, I usually get the gist of the plot but lose a lot of specific details. For me, listening is more selective in that I instinctively listen to what I do know. How would I go about trying to instead try to listen to the unfamiliar without it seeming like &^$(^$) nonsense? and @ ari, would this be your problem in your listening skills? If so, I feel your pain
[Edit] for some reason with jrock songs I am able to follow it xD probably due to the fact I play them hundreds (maybe thousands) of times on a daily basis. I just have problem with speech :/
