the problem with YouTubers who make videos about Japan is that they spoil Japan for you like someone could spoil a film for you. they show all the facets of Japan. everything is discovered, nothing is hidden so that once in the country, you will be amazed by things that you did not know about Japan. Japanese youtubers are worse than weeaboos.

I have enough of japanese youtubers. they're ruining japan and vlogs were a mistake [in japan]. It is almost ruining japan for me (I never went to japan but I wish I did). I don't like the youtubers one like logan paul or jhonny somali, and I EVEN don't like those who respects the culture or aren't harmful to the country. they may act normal and respectful but I don't like them because they're normalfags and normalfags are already social people (this mean they generaly go outside or to parties or eating in restaurant in public) in their home country so they don't act weird in japan. I don't know about the weebs/otaku in japan, they seem to be discreet. I don't want to associate with normalfags. nevermind, there's a high chance I'll never go to japan

I'd recommend waiting a decade or two before going to Japan, &/or throwing a coin/thimble-sized-trinket on top of a map of the Japanese isles and visiting there, since the tourist traps are flooded with disrespectful "normies", vloggers, and God forbid, Yakuza activity funded by tourists using Yakuza lassies.
Japanophilia is an ancient phenomenon, but is ultimately a self-sustaining immune system, because in a Paris-syndrome-esque manner weaboos get let down when they go there and when they experience the healthy in-group preference of Japan's ethnic normality. It is true that Japanese outsources have become poisoned by… a variety of corporate and non-corporate influences, but old Japanese media is still preserved, and the Japanese countryside hasn't been meeting a fate similar to my nation's (England) because Japan's population is regulating itself.
Despite what people say, no, we don't need exponential population growth for every country.

In response to OP, don't be so silly. The implication that unknown facets of Japan are being broadcast to the public is an unfalsifiable anxious cope because the very fact that the facets are unknown means you don't know them and can't recognize them.

Would this board be better if anime discussion wasn't allowed? I like anime, but this board's so slow that having any actual discussion outside of the anime review thread or the cute anime character threads, is basically pointless. The world of imageboards needs a place for niche otaku discussion, but alas, no site caters to such interest. What with the modern day youth on this site, there'd probably just be a bunch of Vtuber threads to take all the anime discussion's place. What does /jp/ - Japan/Anime, think?

I want to start attending a Nichiren Shoshu temple; first to get a formal buddhist precept-taking ceremony as a layman, and then weekly to chant Daimoku, and read Gojo in the group study ,etc
I read in the 4chin archieve of this board that they "believe nichiren is a creator god" or that "japanese people have special souls"…is that even true? I think it's good, and not bad, if it's true that they teach that.
Also they have the comfiest temple and monastic arrangements out of all buddhist orders.

post all your favorite japan/anime artists. you can post hentai artists too since most of the good ones make hentai.

The first image is from 廃狼@新刊よろしく yotushiku something, I can only read the end of it. He is an artist on pixiv, I don't know if he posts his work anywhere else, but everything he posts is amazing.

The second picture is from an artist I found on pixiv called SPEC. I don't like most of his work, but this one is in a good style I wish I could see more.

The third image is made by Akyuun, another artist I found on pixiv. I like the colors, it looks dreamy.

I'll post more artists I like later. Please add whatever art you like.

Why is Tower of God considered an anime when it is adapted from a manhwa? If it is solely because a Japanese studio did it then why isn't the same logic applied to Cannon Busters? So basically anyone with money can just pay a studio to adapt their source material and it will be "anime"? Seems like a bad precedent we are setting. How does Japan feel about this?

No it is true, if you went to Japan and talked with actual Japanese people you would know that “anime” is the term they use for ANY animation, only retarded westerners think that “anime” applies to Japanese animation only.

Isomething similar happens with manga,hell some manga magazines literally say “Comic” on the title.

Is it just me, or is anime made with normalfags in mind nowadays?
Back then, it felt like anime was made exclusively for children and/or huge nerds.
But now it not only feels like most people who consume weeb shit are huge normalfags, but the people who make said weeb shit too. This applies to both western and japanese audiences by the way.
You can not go into a romcom discussion these days without seeing everyone talking about how the romantic life shown in the show compares to their own.
You just keep coming across many shows that seem to validate normalfags' way of life and opinions in the past few years.
To me, anime and anime culture today doesn't feel like it did a decade ago at all.
I only started really getting into weeb shit back in late 2009/early 2010, so maybe I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
What do you think Wizards? Is anime made for normalfags instead of people like you nowadays?

Of course stream services have to make a profit, do you think they do it out of charity for the studios, and will keep doing so indefinitely? The streaming world implosion will probably come before any other major economic event, unless they radically change the system in a way not yet predicted.

 No.41637

>>41635
If the value of a streaming service was media delivery, sure.

I'm not convinced, seeing as the youtube model is apparently profitable. "What people watched at a given time" and of even more utility, "where and on what device they did it" - has *considerable* value when sold in a side industry.

For e.g. an insurance broker would very much like to know how often a given neighbourhood's population is at home on week nights, and thus how much higher they can get away with adjusting car premiums without cancellations. The ROI for that information used correctly would be measured in the hundreds per home per year - far in excess of what the service delivery cost.

Then add how the film & tv industry famously use creative accounting to mask and funnel income, including manufacturing tax losses (almost certainly in such a way that the suits other business ventures are the beneficiaries) and it's quite likely that a streaming service turning a profit could be considered a bad outcome.

Hell, making *any* taxable income in the modern era - at least in the markets I have worked in - is a good reason to sack the accountant for incompetence. There is no legitimate reason to turn a profit once an enterprise goes beyond a certain scale, because there's no intrinsic value in doing so - compared to realising gains through shell companies and service providers in tax friendly jurisdictions.

Circling back to the topic, I'm not too familiar with the specifics of .jp tax and finance laws but I have read that after the real estate bubble the regulations got a lot tighter for this sort of creative accounting and profit masking - which would suggest that the studios are ripe for exploitation when used by a foreign actor.

But as you rightly say, the implosion could well happen independently (or even be the kick starter) of the next recession.

Manga has always had a normalfag following in Japan, anime was more cliche, but that is changing as more people want to see their manga animated. Western compaines like Netflix is a big reason for anime becoming more mainstream in the west, they are funding multiple anime. And netflix loves pushing shit where doesn't belong, so your are going to see more anime normalfag behaviors (sex, cheating, etc), more diversity, more social-issues drama, more western-oriented, etc. This bleeds in Japan's own culture and you start to see more manga and anime appealing to the lowest of the low. It's disgusting.

Anime will stay the same, it will just be recontextualized ala >>40531

I went to a cinema showing of an anime series, it wasn't a movie it was one of those shortened versions of a series arc. People laughed at the appropriate moments but like they were conditioned to laugh like dogs given a command. The crowd was mostly hipsters and younger normalfags with their parents, as opposed to the usual weaboo crowd (though it is almost impossible to determine who is a weaboo since no longer requires effort).
