[Japanese anime]danshi koukousei no nichijo

Do you know "danshi koukousei no nichijo" which is anime of Japan?
In this anime, everyday life of high school boys in Japan is described.
(danshi = boy, koukousei = high school students, nichijo = everyday life)
However, I think this anime is "everyday life of junior high school boys" in fact.
Because characters of this anime are very childish boys.

This anime is classified in a gag anime.
I enjoy conversations of many characters of the anime every week.

[Japanese anime]Bakemonogatari

The best favorite anime for me  is "Bakemonogatari" recently. In this anime, various supernatural creatures and ghosts appear.

In Japan, a supernatural existence like a ghost was believed from ancient times.
For that reason, many comics and anime take up such existences.
This anime is particularly interesting in those animes.

In this anime, you would see the skillful exchange of words.
It may be difficult for beginner of Japanese language study to understand it.
However, it would be one big step for a Japanese language learner to understand it.
