I forgot that I made an account here, but better late than never. Hello!

[Okonomiyaki-Chan]

Hey everyone! I'm Okonomiyaki-Chan, Oko/Okonomi/whatever-you-want for short. I'm from Ohio, the land of corn, corn, and more corn. I've been a gamer since before I was in elementary school and am currently pursuing a major in Asian Studies focusing on Japanese language and culture so that I can work on localization and translation. I'm also a terrible artist who is trying to get better (I promise!).

I hope that as I develop my language skills I can become a bit more useful to the community and start working on translation projects that I've been interested in.

I hope we get along!

A fellow weeb emerges! Quick, catch her before she gets away!

Welcome aboard, always nice to have people interested in translation projects. Hope to see you around.

Thanks!

Love the name and avatar. Yu-Gi-Oh! was my jam growing up. Had boxes and boxes overflowing with cards. Been meaning to go back and watch the show agains sometime. Maybe in Japanese if I can find it.

Once again, thanks!

[RyouBakura]

I went back to watching later episodes of GX in subbed. Because I kind of wanted to see what happened, and more so because the OP Teardrop is one of my favorite anime songs. Ended up dropping it though because I couldn't get back into it.

Also, still have my Yu-Gi-Oh cards, even if I don't use them anymore, I won't give them up for anything.

[Okonomiyaki-Chan]

I don't remember if I saw all of GX. I remember getting to 5Ds and kinda falling off after that.

I do wonder what happened to all of those cards I used to have. My brother might have sold them. Either that or they are buried somewhere far away in my father's house. Bummer too. We had some really nice ones.

Heya and welcome, we seem to have much in common! The only difference in your entire intro post from myself is that I study Japanese and translate games as a hobby instead of a major (I am still learning too though).

I was thinking about making a Learning Japanese club on here too. What do you think?

[Okonomiyaki-Chan]

Thanks for the warm welcomes you guys!

I'd be very interested in hearing more about a Learning Japanese club! I've been studying off an on since I haven't had the opportunity to dig deeper with college classes not lining up ideally. Plus, having other people interested in learning Japanese can serve as a means to keep people interested and motivated.

I'd love to hear more about it!

Awesome! Well right the club is nothing more than an idea right now, but I figured to start from the ground up which would meaning starting with learning/teaching kana. Who knows, maybe we could even make a game or videos about it. I definitely think it helps to have people to study with. A lot of people claim to learn the entire kana tables in 2 hours or 2 days or whatever, but I don't learn THAT fast, haha! I do learn faster when talking about it with other people though. Even with just a few people I think it could be fun and beneficial.

We could build on sections over time as we learn. I think one of the best ways to learn is by teaching what I just learned.

I went ahead and started up the club.

It's bare bones right now, so if anyone has any suggestions please suggest~
