I must admit I can’t make sense of things without the subs on, especially when it’s character-driven stuff rather than action, where the dialogue matters most. For that reason it’s reassuring to hear that Bokura Ga Ita is being subbed…after days of fruitless searching I thought that nobody was bothering with it!

I, for one, admire your determination to watch raws despite your level of understading the Japanese language. I salute you!

watching raw is definitely challenging…for me i always try to constantly compare the dialogue with the sub. its like my brain has to operate on two parallel processes to decipher what I hear and simultaneously superimpose and rearrange it on the screen subtitles. but it has since become a second nature for me as I watch. and u slowly start to be able to tell the difference in quality between subs. it also prompted constant rewinding, cuz sometimes u just go like, “wait what did he/she just said?” and that used to drive my roommate crazy. its certainly a good way to practice my japanese, and grammar structures become surprisingly obvious to the ear once i started doing that. it was especially fun with shows like Honey & Clover which has a lot of beautiful quotes. i remember taking a couple rewindings to finally get takemoto’s monologue about his riding the bike at the first episode into my head. ganbatte with ur raw watching
