For beginners - 07-10-2009, 09:51 PM

I've been a keen follower of Naruto anime series and I've also seen Full Metal Alchemist (and following : Brotherhood) and so on but I am wondering which manga/anime would be best for a beginner in this language. I'm about to start a university program and I will study Japanese for three years and I figured I might combine my interest for anime together with studying.

To make it short:
Is there any manga/anime that's considered easy to read/listen to for a beginner?

Thanks in advance,
Svante


I'm tired in doing nothing, so I think I'll start doing something ~

None - Anime and Manga are replete with colloquialisms that range from extremely difficult to impossible to find in dictionaries.
However, there is a very good manga with CD based teaching resource available at a (semi) reasonable price sampler over here.

Try anime that stick to more of the professional dialogues, just like how they teach you in class.

For example:
Monster
Mushishi
Detective Conan (May seem odd, but a lot of formal dialogue is used in there.)

See how those work with your studies. If not, PM me and I'll see if I can find anything else that could pertain to the build up of your studies.
