animebook VS Memento

Hello everyone! Although I first started learning Japanese a long time ago, I just stumbled upon some really useful resources here today that motivated me to do more studying. In particular, I found out about the animebooks video player that makes it possible to add sentence cards while watching movies with subtitles. I've set up Anki and everything works as intended now. So far, I sometimes created a subs2srs deck after finishing movies or an anime, but this approach seems far superior. Nice!

It's a lot less distracting, plus I can tweak size and word and line spacing. This is a screenshot from youglish. For local files I use my tweaked version of : https://github.com/animebook/animebook.github.io

Animebook works like a charm and does exactly that: https://github.com/animebook/animebook.github.io

For anyone using Anime for learning, Animebook is a great tool. If you have the video files + subtitles, you can use Yomichan + Animebook to automatically create Anki cards with a screenshot + audio clip.

If you are willing to acquire the content yourself, you can use this web app. It's browser based so you just drag the video file and subtitle file into the browser, then hover over unknown words with yomichan and add them that way.

Animebook - in-browser video player that works with your local Yomichan or Rikaichamp

For video: Animebook and Voracious

I've heard about some programs while studying Japanese that might be useful: Animebook, Voracious, and Knowclip.

I recommend not using English subtitles at all. Better no subs at all than English subs. If you really wanted to understand everything then id recommend a tool like memento that allows you to use yomichan to look up words as you go.

You can get Japanese subtitles from kitsunekko and if you want to use subs on online videos u can use the asbplayer extension or if you want to watch stuff locally you can use Memento it's basically MPV(Video Player) but with yomichan in it so you can look up words quickly and export them to Anki

Start consuming Japanese media. Look up everything you don't know and make flash cards for it in Anki. If you have access to subtitles you can do this with TV shows as well. TVer is good for this. Dramas which get put on TVer have subtitles and if you use something like Memento you can easily generate anki cards from the subtitles while you watch. But try to do this with a wide variety of media like TV Dramas, novels, anime, manga, online posts and news articles etc. The reason being is that you will come across a wide variety of vocabulary by doing this.
