My humble 2016 JLPT N3 thread

Now I am watching an anime about a cat that wants to go outside. Much easier to understand than an anime about gangsters who are trying to get a restaurant to give up their land!

Nice list! I'm surprised Yugioh is on the easy list...but then again the show is quite repetitive so that's probably the reason for it. Chi's Sweet Home is the show I'm guessing you're talking about? It's a very cute show

As for Shokugeki no souma, that series takes some getting used to. It's like Iron Chef + softcore porn (comedy) combined. But the plus side is all the food made on the show is definitely possible to recreate though reading the manga is easier in a sense that you can easily read the recipe vs quickly try to listen to it in the anime. I always end up very hungry after an episode! XD

Another series I do recommend after shirokuma is 妖怪ウォッチ. It's another slice of life anime with the fantasy aspect of 妖怪 (ghosts/supernatural creatures). Originally first a video game turned anime series, it's a really fun way to learn about being a typical Japanese kid in Japan. It's also fun to see the ghosts in such a different light than the traditional Japanese folklores about them which I found a very appropriately named website called yokai.com

EDIT: Like Shirokuma, Youkai watch doesn't really have a plot which I don't really mind at all with this type of series. I actually like it more than Souma because of its positive outlook on life in general. Also the game is pretty fun.
