/jp/ - Japan/Anime

hmmmmm!

You ARE right.

The otaku media is the reason I managed to survive the /dep/ zone

>>43377
Internet trolling is awesome and arguably a part of otaku culture (or perhaps otaku culture has significant overlap with troll culture, if such a thing could be said to still exist). There is actually nothing more funny and exciting than upsetting people on the internet for personal amusement. Especially normies who are unfamiliar with the internet and places like imageboards.

I believe that internet trolling is perhaps the only thing that can save otaku fandoms from the fail and AIDS of normalnigger hordes that have descended upon the internet

>>43654
normies are willing to spend TRILLIONS (in unrealized profits) just to board up their senses from otaku trolls, kek

This could be early morning, maybe he needs to get to his car. Actually yeah, I think it says "5 AM" in the bottom right.
But this is very light snowfall, it's probably the last hours of a system which brought a lot of snow.
And there isn't really a wrong time to shovel. Yes, you could have to do it again later, but it's not like that path he's made is going to be filled up in an hour, unless there is a cataclysmic amount of snow falling.

You must be living in permasummer lands. Lucky you.

>>42956
I don't live in a permasummer country, its just that seeing all this snow is rare nowdays

Here's some Eiji Ohashi photography

do you have a pdf of hikikomori/outsiders/ otaku in japan?

>>42540
its already a problem how much media they produces about hikkos
it implants the manifestation into the youth's minds. they will cast the role of hikko upon others or themselves.
>you are what you eat
you should take sun wukong's lesson and assume that you are also what media you consume

I'm a apprentice in a virgin boy website, I am hollow on the inside and I am what I eat:internet

>it implants the manifestation into the youth's minds. they will cast the role of hikko upon others or themselves.
lol wat? That role is bestowed upon outcasts by others whether they like it or not irrespective of what tv says.

>>42182
True

Normies: escape reality via normie shit
Hikks: escape reality too, in their own way

Thanks to Zenerat, I find Sekibanki t b rather interesting to watch

>>40322
Sekibanki is kawaii :3

>>43630
There's no going back, the internet now is in the hands of normies and bots, maybe there are some obscure places in the web where you can find genuine interesting things and people to engaged with.

>>43631
>normies and bots
*Third worlders and the LGBT

What about second worlders? Oh wait. Splinternet.

>1980s Japan: Jazz fusion, City-pop genres

Japan of the 80s is not your recommended youtube/spotify playlist.

>>41960
I'm ok with this.
There are clubs where you can't come in if you wear the wrong shoes, or they don't like your face.
Maybe they want to preserve a homely atmosphere.

Combine this with the knowledge that there are global agendas, which want to undermine each country's culture to be able to subvert it and control it.

>>43427
I feel like those global agendas are actually a good thing and I wish more people would choose not being racist in this current day and age.

>>42625
its not. its just johnny somali drama. hes one of those nuicance streamers and got into jail in japan for playing loud audio in a restauraunt for 2 weeks and now every ching hates that nigger since the news told them hes bad.

>>43428
t. Jew who hates unique cultures and identities (except his own)

Yeah I am sure the Japanese would hate me if I had to deal with them. I already have problem socializing with people in my own culture, it's going to be a lot worse in an anal-retentive autistic culture like the Japanese who'd get mad if you forgot to use the correct polite verb forms or if they found out you pirated SNES games. It doesn't affect my interests much though. I can continue immersing myself in Japanese media and learning Japanese without actually having to deal with Japanese people. They're mostly normgroids like people everywhere, yes including the otakus that made your fanservice lolicon manga, they're normgroids with friends and usually married not to mention a lot of them are succubi. Feels kind of weird consuming media from a culture where the people would hate me but ehh, I don't meet people, it makes no difference even if they're super welcoming.

I watched a few episodes of akagi just now but I didnt understand anything about majong.

>>43591
just noticed that reply is from a decade ago lol

I really like Space Adventure Cobra's intro…

>>43616
I thought I was being insightful. Excuse my autism

>>42494
It's pretty good but it really has become a normalfag anime on par with mainstream shonen. It's an example of why trolling is an important part of nerd fandoms and why they should not be safe spaces for any consumers of a given cultural commodity

>>43635
>It's pretty good but it really has become a normalfag anime
Its target audience was the "normal" general public and that's why it even managed to leave Japan. There's no reasonable cause to consider an anime for weirdos / nerds / virgins / whatever.

t. normie who started watching chinese cartoons in the late 2010s

>>42494
>The anime is a fucking non sense i try hard to focus on what is going on


that's kinda the point


Shinji went SPOILER, full SPOILER also FINAL SPOILER reveals Shinji would prefer to be a lone "self" rather than lose himself in a happy ocean of all being melted into one gang



Thus, Shinji is not exactly "mental disability", he actually had to handle a hearty dose of bullshit and SOMEHOW he survived it.

1. No game no life, I guess. Pretty normie for hikki standards, so to say

2. Strike Witches
Rule 63 to a bunch of WWII ace pilots.

3. Agent Najika

Pantsushots. Also, synthetic people and the drama about their future.

4. There was anime series named "hack", AFAIK

5. You know, you can watch Gunsmith Cats and then watch Gabriel Dropout to imagine Rally was ready to become an angel at some point.

There's no blackpill. I'm a bleeding heart, a lover of my interests, just as you and anyone else. Why the misanthropy? I love Japan too.
What differentiates us is the fact that I've lived there, indeed live here presently, Fukuoka prefecture, and have been in and off the country at large for over 7 years now, giving me an understanding of the approaching event horizon.

The sustainment of its culture and its foundation rests on an establishment too thoroughly intertwined with the support of its aging male population; those old men whose youth has been exhausted, whose predilections are, by and large, globally looked upon with reproach, whose communal support of and with one another is dependent on a network accessible only to them, and whose time has past. Once they're cut, it's game over.

You think Nagaru Tanigawa's gonna finish Haruhi? or Nasu will be ready to create something else for Type Moon? or 47 year old ZUN the likes of which speaks about Touhou's end. Really? These men with families entering their 50s or 60s have had enough, and their protégé are soon following, retiring to a halcyon life as their country spins a new tale. Who even buys anything except for those old men, of clear heart, wanting for more so they refrain from pirating.

Z-kun doesn't care for that, in all parts of the world.

Just as Takao Saito died, Akira Toriyama died, Kentaro Miura died, the remaining old guard will collapse, and thereafter nothing similar shall beget, for today's stage is a globalist type, and none no longer possess the steely mind necessary to resist its flare as they chase for money unavailable in their shamble of an economy.

Passion is dead, Z-kun exhibiting it still lesser somehow.

That's why high school settings are being banned. That's why 'underage' depictions are being annihilated. That's why anything libertine is being equated to things licentious and grossly perverted. That's why gore is rampant, because it's better to show a man being shot sixty times than seeing a flash of panties.

I always feel a stab of guilt when I read a JP comment and they complaining that creators they've always been following have begun lessening the intensity of their content to appear agreeable in western -in your- eyes, and express a powerless dismay against this. Just a mellow feeling

so japan is over and the fatest it dies the better, am I right?

>>43056
Partially.
Japan is over, yes, but not altogether so, and accordingly, to put that struggling remain out of its strangled misery, it is only best to deliver a swifter and faster death, lest it survives and transforms into a resisting bastardized amorphus blob, a shell of its former self, a willing carrier of disease, a thing which anyway will surely rapidly die… but not before taking the salvageable with it following a repulsive reign it will construct where flagellating all its prior merit will be commonplace. Yes, a faster death is better. Letting it live in a direction which normalizes shit is no good.

Accelerationism is an interesting policy.

Owing to natural phenomena, once everything resets and returns to nothing, the ensuing reconstruction will again recreate divisions of 'Good' and 'Bad' with the former of greater strength than the latter, more plentiful, allowing for a period of repose, until again the refuse is large enough that circumstances call for another reset.

All cabals in the world, all conspiracies, all machinations, all malevolency and good, creation entirely, from plant to insect to dog to man, good, bad, operates with that policy in mind, pushing for their own respective time of victory, and Japan's period must once more arrive, 62,530 days after Perry forced them to open up.

In the other thread, I'm sure you're the Penguindrum poster, yes? the show is good. Nothing like it 14 years later. It was especially interesting before Kanba's fallout.
The central theme in the whole thing is a merciless unveiling of the inability to truly overcome fate. Everyone was playing to the seductive tune of Sanetoshi Watase, even he himself. Bittersweet was not the ending, it was horrifying. Unlike Madoka, even if Kyubey always wins, the succubi can at least evade misfortune, but not so here. Actually, I wonder how that'll go in the next movie. Maybe it'll be worse for them, and Homura's rouse will collapse inward into itself, and as she despairs and weeps with no way to fix, Kyubey will be off with that Cheshire grin of his, a fresh pile of misery behind him.

But Urobuchi's a pretty happy guy these days, and after 2014, I think some ban was placed on animated media suggesting depressing themes. The stuff that's bleak is consigned to literary mediums now.

yes I am. you're pretty clever. apparently the movie don't add so much to the story. thats what I read on internet

even anime like Gundam GQuuuuuuX features smartphones as something mundane.
