comfy japan Anonymage 01/27/25 (Mon) 22:38:11 No.42915 [Reply]

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
max comfy

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?

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?

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.

Simple! Back in the day, the jobs were more or less similar one to another (for the most of the time).

That's not the case for the third millenia, but it's not like everyone on the globe understands that.

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=)

Tokyo Mew Mew: the character is a "mew mew", a kitty.
Sailor Moon: a decent stacey succibi representation; probably inspired by spoiled 80s kids of rich Japanese folks.

Kids shows Anonymage 05/03/22 (Tue) 01:54:26 No.38895 [Reply]

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

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.

>"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…

Anon, remember when the Anime Man brought on the undisputed king of Japanese adult films, Shimiken, for that absolute freakshow of an interview.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahbx-x4c2gY

The guy has thousands of credits, total mainstream legend in the industry, right? But halfway through he starts dropping the most unhinged lore imaginable.

Absolute peak cognitive dissonance. The man literally looks like a regular, respectable fitness-freak Japanese dude, and then he casually admits to the camera that he's been chowing down on his own turds since childhood because he actually liked the taste.

Joey is sitting right across from him dying inside, desperately trying to maintain his professional anime YouTuber composure while his soul leaves his body. Absolute cinema. Japan truly is the most magical place on Earth.

Thoughts? Would you endure a day in his life?

Watching the new GitS series, which is closer to the manga….does anyone remember the thread where some wizards where lamenting that even /d/-level hentai was being co-opted by normalfaggots?

I'm trying to understand who this particular version is aimed at. I read the manga, a bit, after I saw GitS '95 film and it wasn't to my taste, too fucking goofy, too fanservice-y, and IIRC it had like bits of fucking "world building" in between the panels of the manga. But it had an obvious target audience of nerdy otaku guys into succubi and guns and mechs. It's why most of the adaptations stripped the premise down into something that wasn't so obviously written by a hentai artist who loves drawing greasy succubi being fucked by horses.

This version retains that stupid goofy style, fanservice and dialogue from the manga so much so that it is bizarre watching it in motion in 2026. Like when a normalfaggot watches this version, what goes through their minds when they hear fully translated dubbed dialogue that STILL sounds like it was "sexy" dialogue written by a sexless otaku? What goes through their minds when they see fanservice clearly designed for sexless otaku?

Normalfags aren't shy about sex, so when the japanese do their weird "coy" fanservice stuff how do they process it? Or do they just consume it without a second thought because it's the current trend, like actually co-opting even this kind of stuff?

If it came out in the 90s, I probably wouldn't be squinting so hard at it.

The end of the wizards thread from a few year back?

Yeah, GitS was one of anime series you tried to show normies to get them to see the genre is deeper than DBZ and the handful of anime series they used to air on normal tv back then. I don't think it really ever worked, it was still cartoons to them until it became trendy. And then when it became trendy, I don't think they cared what the actual content was.

I mean, it's funny that the GitS is (or was?) touted as one of the "strong female leads" in japanese but if you know the source material (and the rest of his work) it's clearly wankbait.

So this new series that is basically the manga version….is strange. I guess when they adapt Bible Black for netflix, we probably shouldn't be surprised.
