post something from japan (whatever) that makes you feel comfy or nostalgia for a country you are not from (japan).
For me it's this video that remind me summer in japan and how it makes me daydream about living in japan and coming back home from school or work or whatever at dawn on my bicycle and taking a bath and then eating japanese food and then playing some video games and read some manga or whatever

Talk about Touhou here. I think the OP or something. It's been three months. We've all talked about our favorite characters, so what's your favorite part of the fandom? Do you like the setting the most, the characters the most, the lore the most, the music the most, or, like me, do you just idealize the series like I do?

What are you doing right now to enjoy the series?

I've found myself watching, and this thread is as much of a confession as much as anything, kids shows. It started off due to the threads we've had about Cardcaptor Sakura and Doremy, but then I realized after watching them that I was feeling…oddly good and optimistic about the world in general. It's weird, because on the one hand I hate watching this stuff because, well, it's so fucking stupid and vapid, but on the other hand I love watching it because it's so goddam relaxing and healing to the soul. I find myself questioning whether this entertainment is purposefully made this way, to emotionally manipulate individuals past a certain age into a state of depression.

Uhm, thanks for reading my blogpost? Otherwise, I guess share some younger-demographic anime you might be watching?

What the hell kind of entertainment do you suggest we consume instead then with all the stress and pain from existing weighing down on us? If all you see around you is stress, fear and anxiety over merely trying to survive and get by, what's wrong with trying to get away from it at least by watching cheerful slice of life shows? Or, if what you suggest is manning up and rising against by enlightening yourself and investing into "serious" adult media, how do you figure we'd get the strength for that if everything is already so bleak

No, you're kinda right on that. That's a big reason why I can't stand western comics. Fugly shite. But more importantly, Jojo in general is fucking ugly (I assume OP is talking about JoJo).

Korean manhwas are more cinematic though.

I just have that color issue with mangas but in comics it looks nice to me, at least from what i've seen. In comics it is more variable, but generally it's fine.

Satou would about 37 if we base it around the time the original Welcome to the NHK book was published. If they made another book or series that revisited his life in the present day what do you think it would be about?

While I find plenty of manga/anime with oucasts quite relatable, the endings are always really grim.

They just wind up doing some shit dead end job that isn't fulfilling at all or meet someone and things fail, but hey at least they tried right?

It just reminds of how hopeless my situation is if that's the conclusion in a fucking anime.

Since Japan has some sort of hivemind mentality where shame plays a big role and no one wants to be the odd one out, I imagine from the Japanese point of view finally getting a job and becoming a member of society is the happy ending there, whatever job you do should be fulfilling enough because you're contributing to society. I can kind of understand the mentality, Japan is a functioning society kept by harmony and social cohesion so you'd feel bad if your existence was a nuisance to everyone else, the West is pure individualism and since it no longer has any values or a sense of community the moment the economic incentive disappears you just quit the race without shame.

 No.44418

>>44409
That's a good point. From the Japanese perspective the fact that they're out there contributing is all that matters, regardless of how shit their lives may be.

>the moment the economic incentive disappears you just quit the race without shame.


That's exactly what I've done since I accumulated enough money to do so. Why should I contribute to a society I'll never fit in to and support a system that hates me?

>the moment the economic incentive disappears you just quit the race without shame
It is interesting how, instead of trying to fix the economic incentives to improve participation rates, the powers that be are cracking the whip harder on the ones still in the race. Which just convinces more people to drop out of the race even faster.

Am I the only one who finds Sailor Moon more girly than Tokyo Mew Mew? I've wondered if anyone else feels the same way I do.

Yes, you're the only one who thinks that. You're the sole person who can see the truth. You're the chosen one.

 No.44420

When I watched it for the first time it did not give an "anime for succubi" impression but more like for everyone that like magical succubi so Tokyo Mew Mew is more in the girly side I think, but the last time I have watched Sailor Moon was in the 90's so I might be wrong and when I mentioned it to a classmate he said it was gay and lame, screw him, he was gay and lame=)

Is this a true story or schizo ramblings? Post some proofs… Anyway I have read that any foreigner can go to Japan as a student to a Japanese language school and take part time jobs and while at it search for an employer that is willing to give a work visa, apparently they have a shortage of workers in nursing homes and other crap jobs as such

NTA but he mentioned you could get non-qualified work if you're from SEA. Pretty sure he's referring to the Specific Skilled Worker (SSW) program. I read a bit about it and those exams are usually done in poor Asian countries but exceptionally you can also travel to Japan to do them there if you're from any other place. I've read on plebbit that working conditions for those jobs are bad but honestly I'm starting to get increasingly desperate about leaving Europistan and Japan is what's come to mind, the future of their economy is not looking good according to some people though… Also read to get those student or work visas you need to prove you have enough money in your bank account to cover your expenses, all this information obtained from the comfort of my bed so take it with a pinch of salt.

I am getting desperate too, ssw lvl1 visa can be prolonged only for 5 years, I have no notable skills so I'll have to compete with hoards of poos and south asian monkeys for slave tier jobs and low wages, maybe some opportunities may appear while I am there but I am a socially awkward person and I don't know how to make friends… it gets worse the more I think about it

>"On August 4, Japan's Immigration Services Agency published draft guidelines that significantly tighten the criteria for foreign nationals seeking permanent residency. Under the proposed rules, applicants must demonstrate a continuous annual income that exceeds the average level of Japanese households. The draft also requires expected pension payouts to match thirty years of standard employee contributions, while adding new criteria regarding Japanese language proficiency and children's school attendance.

>Immigration officials cited rising public assistance reliance among permanent residents and frequent administrative challenges at local government offices as primary drivers for the revision. Justice Minister Hiraguchi emphasized during a press conference that these measures are essential for maintaining an orderly society where Japanese citizens and foreign residents co-exist. The updated regulations are scheduled to take effect in April next year, representing a major shift in the country's long-term immigration policies."


Looks like no longer an option, not like this will stop immigration there, it will just be a rotation of workforce from third world countries doing blue collar jobs for peanuts and then being replaced by other third-worlders. Still much better than what politicians have imposed us in the West must be nice…
