Hi Belwyn,
Thanks for the comment!
I don't know why Dragon Ball is not listed but it's a popular one, too!

Usually I'm not that into anime series (I'm in love with japanese movies -so glad Hirokazu Koreeda won the Palme d'Or at our French Festival de Cannes! Yay! - and anime films like the Ghibli ones - but who doesn't ?)
But lately I happened to watch Baby Steps and I really enjoy it. It's about a high school boy who starts to learn tennis and makes his way up to the top tennis players in Japan through his hard work and dedication to it. I think it's the best show ever for beginners like me. First because it's about motivation and hard work that are necessary when we learn something from scratch (whether it's tennis or a foreign language :-) ) and also because all the tennis-related words are in English, so they can be used as "landmarks" to help you understand the construction of the sentence. I was like "Funny, the word "slice" is at the beginning of the sentence in Japanese but at the end in French! Interesting..." I ended up learning a few words without even trying and wanted to learn more about that beautiful language and that's how I subscribed to your website! :-)
Where is dragon ball Series?

Polar Bear Cafe is one of my all time favourites; who would have known that it would become my go to anime to help me understand the spoken language. Thanks.
Just curious, but are there any great beginner-friendly Light Novels that are good supplements for someone trying to learn Japanese? I'm not really so picky about genre, as long as the story is good and it's not written in overly advanced Japanese. So basically, can you recommend any Light Novels for someone who hasn't quite reached JLPT N5 yet?
What's your favorite Japanese anime?
