Aug 25, 2017 at 14:02 comment added user6692 That is way too complicated to learn if you all keep posting comments. I simply wanted an easy way to get the concept - I already explained all the information in details.
Aug 25, 2017 at 12:46 comment added user4092 @Shirik The first 3 paragraphs in the article you introduced is really great. However, no.4, 5 and 6 are inaccurate so that you will eventually run into examples that don't get along with them.
Aug 25, 2017 at 12:06 comment added user25382 But I read the link in Shirlik's comment a little bit.I guess It explained the same thing really well.They break the particle "は and が" down and explained concisely in 6 situations. I think it explains the gist of it. So, if you haven't read it, you should definitely have a look.

Aug 25, 2017 at 8:00 comment added user6692 That is more than enough of an answer. Thank you again.
Aug 25, 2017 at 8:00 comment added user6692 Ah, if the information is new to the listener and the speaker wants to give the important information you can use case marker "が”. - Thank you for your direction, I will keep it in mind.

Aug 25, 2017 at 5:00 comment added user25382 Ah, if the information is new to the listener and the speaker wants to give the important information you can use case marker "が”. On the other hand, if the listener and the speaker know the information well you can use topic marker "は” It might be detailed explanation nkc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/study_info/study_info01_04_j.html
Aug 25, 2017 at 4:45 comment added user6692 For example, Tony knows that Lucy likes it, he did not expect that the anime opening is particularly Lucy's favorite.
Aug 25, 2017 at 4:44 comment added user6692 Simply that, if a speaker mentions a piece of information that the listener did not expect to hear at all, then the particle が is used.
Aug 25, 2017 at 3:21 comment added user25382 Do you want to emphasize this is the thing what you really wanted with "これが” rather than stating this is something like you really wanted with"これは”?

Aug 25, 2017 at 1:15 comment added Shirik I found this write-up recently which is very similar to what you mention. It cleared a lot of things up for me. reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/6u2gaf/…
