Learn Japanese from anime on Netflix and Crunchyroll. Click any word in the Japanese subtitles to see what it means in that scene.
It reads the whole scene, not the word.
We hand it the line and the lines around it, so it gets politeness, slang and stacked conjugations right.
巨人
Titan
A giant. In Attack on Titan it is what everyone calls the Titans; in ordinary speech it also means a towering figure in a field.
やっぱり 巨人って すばらしいなあ
Titans really are wonderful, after all.
Usage Note
For a tall person, say 背が高い (se ga takai, tall); calling someone 巨人 is a joking exaggeration.
It tells you who actually talks like that.
Slang, dialect, or something nobody says outside a fight. Each card says so, and what people say instead.
貴様
you (hostile)
貴様 is a hostile, domineering way to address someone, especially an opponent. In everyday conversation it can sound extremely insulting; use the person’s name or title instead.
貴様の無限とやらも―
Even your so-called Infinity—
Usage Note
お前 (you) is also rough, but less openly hostile.
―
It brings its own Japanese subtitles.
No Japanese track on the show? It finds one written by people in Japan and drops it into the player.
Much better than bare hands.
The same product either way.
The free one just runs out.

I learned English by watching films and shows with English subtitles, and I wanted to learn Japanese the same way. The kanji stopped me, so I added romaji. Then a translation. Then an explanation for every word, a way to save it, and a deck on my phone. And here we are.
I'm still learning Japanese, so I'm one of Junie's users too. I'd be glad if you gave it a try and told me what you think. There's still a lot to do.
