Which also makes me wonder why isn't Genta and co surprised by Conan's kanji ability... He probably knows not only the ~2000 commonly used kanji but also hundreds of other characters outside the jouyou list.

Does it only seem that way (to me with my two-lessons-Japanese  ), or is Japanese Grammar really that easy?
I mean, you have -masu for anything in present (active indicative), and -mash(i)ta for the perfect; you use a couple of suffixes (-no, -wa, -ni ...) to make a noun's use clear, and that's all - is the rest also that easy? Actually, is there a word order in the sentence?
Well, I've learned Latin, and you have pages with hundred of different forms, not to mention that - with a few exception - every word has an irregular second form, used for the past - and after that Japanese seems so easy (Well, except for the Kanji. But for writing I can use 平仮å

Japanese Grammar is simpler compared to Indoeuropean and Germanic languages. It lacks of personal pronouns, grammatical gender, number, tenses and other conjugations, but this makes the language very ambiguous, especially in non-textbook situations, that are the ones that matter.

Well, this is not about the Japanese Language itself, but I'm kinda curious as to why Japanese sometimes put (tonnes of) w's at the end of a sentence. I just dgi lol. s: .  I was told that it was done so to make the sentence itself look longer. Is it true? LOL.

[meidei]

The japanese for "lol" is （笑）, which in latin letters is spelled warai. That's where wwww comes from.
