For people not in the loop, Cure Dolly was a youtuber who taught basic Japanese grammar lessons using a digital avatar. She had (and continues to have) a cult-like following (in a good way) among a section of the online Japanese learning community. She was also ill at the time and eventually passed away.


I happen to come across the original videos ~3 years ago and they are good.

Cure Dolly’s explanations of Japanese grammar are so much better than those of the textbooks and typical teaching that it blew my mind after already becoming conversant in Japanese to hear the concepts I had to struggle to figure out on my own explained so clearly.
