Summary: 127 new study sets for Anime series (1000s of episodes) have been added to the Sets repository<\/a>, check them out!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

KanjiBox’s dedicated Study Sets section<\/a> is doing very well these days, with hundreds of public sets available to any user for subscription (and thousands of private ones).<\/p>\n

I have a particular fondness for sets that compile vocab\/kanji needed to tackle a specific film\/anime\/manga, as I think it is a great way to get the most out of an otherwise fun activity. I even posted a small tutorial<\/a> on how to make your own vocab set based on subtitle files for a film.<\/p>\n

Even though most Japanese anime series aren’t really my cuppa, I know that many KB users love them (indeed, it is even the main motivation to learn for some) and they are quite popular in the subscriptions. So, when I happened upon a massive archive of anime series Japanese subtitles, I thought it would be worth spending a bit of time on a semi-automated tool to bulk import them into KB sets.<\/p>\n

The results so far<\/a>:<\/p>\n

– 127 new Study Sets in KB’s\u00a0Anime section<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– over 3000 anime episodes (most sets contain vocab for about 20 episodes at a time).<\/p>\n

– complete episode coverage of 10 anime series so far: Black Jack<\/a>, Crayon Shin-chan<\/a>, Detective Conan<\/a>, Doraemon<\/a>, From the New World<\/a>,\u00a0Neon Genesis Evangelion<\/a>, One Piece<\/a>, Sailor Moon<\/a>, Space Pirate Captain Harlock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– for each series, in addition to a number of volumes covering new vocabulary words for episodes (bundled in groups of 10-20 episodes per volume), a separate set (“Volume 0”) offers an overview of common words across the entire series. This set has the added bonus of being a good starting point for people who may want to check other material related to the title (e.g., a manga version or a film adaptation of the anime).<\/p>\n

Because even batch parsing takes time, and because there probably is such a thing as too many<\/em> sets in the database (at least until I have the time to program better search tools), I had to select a few animes out of the hundreds I have subtitles for \u00a0(I mainly went for those I knew, liked and\/or had heard of). I will happily take any request for other series\u00a0and add them to the next batch (assuming I do have the subtitles for them). Even better if you do have the subtitles and would like me to use the batch-import tool on\u00a0them: contact me.<\/p>\n

As usual, welcoming any feedback and suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
