× I watch movies maybe every after work but because I didn't have anything else to do at home so I just go to Netflix and check for new movies or new animes.
✓ I watch movies maybe every day after work, and because I sometimes don't have anything else to do at home, I just go on Netflix and check for new movies or new anime.
Mix of present simple and past tense and some preposition/article errors. Use present simple for habitual actions (watch, go, check). 'Every after work' is incorrect; say 'every day after work' or 'after work'. Use 'go on Netflix' rather than 'go to Netflix'. 'Anime' is an uncountable loanword, so use 'anime' not 'animes'. Also avoid unnecessary 'so' when already using 'and'. Combine clauses for clarity.
× I usually watch Korean movies or Japanese movies.
✓ I usually watch Korean or Japanese movies.
Redundant repetition of 'movies'. Combine adjectives with the noun to be concise: 'Korean or Japanese movies'. Use present simple 'usually watch' for habitual action.
× I also watch anime movies.
✓ I also watch anime films.
'Anime' can be used as a noun; 'anime films' or simply 'anime' are more natural. 'Movies' is acceptable, but changing to 'films' avoids repetition and fits context. Maintain present simple for habits.
× Well, I. Umm, currently I don't know.
✓ Well, um, currently I don't know.
Sentence had an isolated fragment 'I.' Remove the stray 'I.' and keep 'um' lowercase and connected to the sentence. Use 'currently I don't know' to indicate present uncertainty.
× I prefer watching at home because I am more comfortable and able to express my feelings and react to certain scenes that I relate with.
✓ I prefer watching at home because I am more comfortable and able to express my feelings and react to certain scenes that I relate to.
Use present simple 'prefer' for general preference. The correct preposition is 'relate to' not 'relate with'. Keep 'am more comfortable and able to' consistent in present tense.
× I think it is because I usually watch Korean and Japanese movies, so by hearing their original UMM audio I learned some of their UMM some of the words Japanese words like.
✓ I think so because I usually watch Korean and Japanese movies, so by hearing their original audio I learn some of their words in Japanese and Korean.
Tense inconsistency: use present simple 'learn' for an ongoing effect of a habit. Remove filler 'UMM' in formal correction. 'Original audio' is sufficient; avoid repeating 'some of their'. Specify 'words in Japanese and Korean' and keep word order natural.
