Haha awesome Mister :D
I guess not get speaking practise is one of the downside of being a self learner, but learning together with people better than you is a big motivation because you want to become just as good as them(maybe it is just because I am very competetive, but works for me :D). I think you should try to stay with the intermediate class if you are able to take part of the class. Going to a class that is too easy for you seems dumb to me :/

Good luck :D

Love the new layout of the page and seasons, good ideas with more reviews! :)
Don’t like the new kanji setup… Too much scrolling to get down to the kanji I need… And much harder to find the kanji that you need :/

I got a lesson down today(0.o verbs) and 5 kanji.
I finally got around to upgrading everything to the new decks so it is much easier to keep track of :D The new decks also have some nice features like asking about which radicals are in the kanji
Anyway, this is what came out of it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5223862/1h%2015.PNG

Did it take just as long time for you guys?

1) Which type of story impacts you the most emotionally? (E.g Tragedy, Comedy*in the modern sense*, Action, fighting, rags-to-ritches etc)
Drama; Clannad to be specific…

2) Define a “good” plot (Subjective, all your opinion belong to us!)
realistic story set in a realistic world, where there is no magic/mech or all that stuff… other than that; boobs are always great :D :D

3) Give an example in a Anime/show where a good plot was ruined by something. What ruined it and what could have saved it?
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009) had 6(or so) episodes in a row that were all the same. not just alike, but exactly the same. The point was to show that they got stuck in time. It didn’t ruin the show entirely because I could just skip them, but I didn’t like it.
How to improve it: have 2 episodes with the same story insted of 6

- other than that awesome anime – 1st season was best.

4) From both fanboy/fangirl perspective, what type of character is the most easy to identify with, and what type of character is the most admirable/badass/want to be him/omfg you own/utter boss?
Generaly I have a hard time identifying myself with Anime characters due to not having the same culture :(

5) Is it better that a character is not completely powerful, and has many flaws?
Flaws
If the main character never did anything wrong, what would the fun be?

6) Do you prefer a story revolving around a solo quest or a group quest?
group quest – though kino’s journy was good :)

Music section, as with the previous bit try to give as many examples of songs/pieces/bands as possible, preferably with a YouTube link.

1) #1 fight/boss music?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWhUPlFnAe8
from amnesia though :D

2) When watching a show do you prefer ambient music over silence? Would you prefer a soundtrack while reading a book?
I prefer listening to music, since silence can get a little too akward.. :P

3) To what degree will a soundtrack make or break a series for you? Examplessss
Won’t do much to me really… if the series is good then it dosen’t matter about the soundtrack, but a good soundtrack can really enhance an already great experience

4) How much impact does a good soundtrack have on you emotionally? (Subjective, all your opinion belong blah blah) Examplessss
I think everyone who has watched entire Clannad will agree with me on this one:
Soundtracks can have a very large impact on me emotionally. I still remember crying:( while watching Clannad due to it being so sad. I get this same empty feeling when I listen to the soundtracks once again, and I must say to everyone who hasn’t watch it – DO IT! It will change the way you see on a lot of things.

Tracks that impact me emotionally:

Impacts me a lot emotionally… Still amazing songs.

5) Do you prefer a series to constantly use different types of music, or do you prefer some quiet times?
Same soundtrack, I like to assosiate the music with the series when listening to it after.

wall of text lol xD

You should go for some podcasts as well :) just have it running in the background while you are doing other stuff – even though you are not focusing on listening and can’t understand much then you will still pick pronounciation and other things up :D

Open your deck
go to settings
click deck properties
go to advanced tab
Write 99 in the leech treshold

solved :)
