How lazy is this?

What's up loved otaku family. My name is Casey, but people call me Mugen. I was wondering how lazy of me would it be for me to learn Japanese just because I'm too lazy to read subtitles. There are a bunch of epic anime out there I know that are taking to long to be translated professionally so why not just cut out the middle man and learn Japanese? -MugenChishiki

That's the complete opposite of lazy.

I think about it every time, but never get around to it

I'm glad I'm not the only one. You just have to get out there and do it. After college I plan to throw myself into some city in Tokyo and do the full emersion technique

I think of doing that, but I don't talk enough with people in English now, so it wouldn't make much of a difference

You'll need to talk to someone for food or shelter. I guess after that you wouldn't really need to talk to anyone else....RosettaStone? Next best thing :D

haha yeah, I'd learn the basics and that's it. But I'd seriously try after some time, can't be a hermit crab forever :3

It's not as easy as it sounds. My friend was teaching himself Japanese, married a girl in Japan, has lived in Japan for damn near two years as a teacher, and he's barely cracked the basics. I'm not trying to discourage you, I just want you to understand what you're in for.
