Anybody got a good grasp of basic ひらがな (hiragana)? Wanna play しりとり (shiritori)? 
Basic description and rules (selectively copy-pasted from the shiritori Wikipedia page):
"Shiritori (しりとり) is a Japanese word game in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the final kana of the previous word. No distinction is made between hiragana, katakana or kanji. 'Shiritori' literally means 'taking the buttocks' or 'taking the end'."
- Two or more people take turns to play.
- Only nouns are permitted.
- A player who plays a word ending in the mora N (ん) loses the game, as no Japanese word begins with that character.
- Words may not be repeated.
"Example: sakura (さくら) → rajio (ラジオ) → onigiri (おにぎり) → risu (りす) → sumou (すもう) → udon (うどん)"
"The player who used the word うどん (udon) lost this game."
Any takers? I'll start:
アニメ (anime)
Go!
