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…

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?

One Punch succubus
(May I Ask for One Final Thing?)

Anonymage 07/26/26 (Sun) 01:00:38 No.44389

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.

>….does anyone remember the thread where some wizards where lamenting that even /d/-level hentai was being co-opted by normalfaggots?
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.

Maybe this belongs more on /hob/ and if the mods agree I would hold no ill will for them for moving or deleting it but I recently got around to watching Serial Experiments Lain and wanted to find some other wizzards with good reccomendations for /dep/ anime. The ones of course given are succubi last tour and Lain. I would personally not count Watamote as it seems quite shallow and everything turns out fine in the end and whatnot. So what are some other anime, manga or light novels dealing with actual depression or schizophrenia and not in the mainstream boohoo am so sad way.

Hold on but what about anime and manga that aren't just depressing but also try to convey something important? I mean, lain isn't pure depression, it's also trying to relay some ideas to you. Granted, I may still have no frickin clue whatsoever what the hell it is that it's trying to tell you, but there's definitely a message in there.
So yeah, what about anime or manga that both fits the atmosphere and the symbolism?

For me, Lain's story was a bit "too normal" to treat it as a proper existential horror movie.

The guy in VR helmet from layer 07 was spooky, though. Hadn't it been for him, i would have forgotten the very fact I, in fact, did watch some pieces of S.E.Lain back in late 2000s.

Regarding Japanese Imperial Family. Anonymage 07/17/26 (Fri) 08:56:04 No.44369 [Reply]

I know this is a controversial thing to say, but I learnt about the Japanese Imperial Family, and I felt so horrible in my own stomach knowing how the Japanese Emperor can't leave, even if he wants to. And the horrible treatment of his wife for not producing a male heir.

The Japanese Government's perspective regarding the Imperial Family is extremely horrible, they worship the beautiful throne but will not let the individuals who should be on that throne live in dignity to be honest. They are not even citizens and the Japanese Government only seems them as State Property.

At least the Princesses can marry commoners and leave if they want, the Empress can be divorced, but the Emperors and Prices can't even fucking leave, every single one of their moves is monitored, they are forced to perform unnecessary rituals, etc. I honestly, will get massively hated for this but life is significantly better in a trailer park than it is the Imperial Palace.

Honestly, if Japanese really revere their emperor they should force the government to give emperor basic human rights and freedom of movement. Like this really reminds me of when I read about GITMO tbh.

The only silver lining about learning this is that I unironically have more respect for my life in the third world country where I can go where I want, eat what I want, and speak what I want.

Drawing "noodle people" is okay as long as you aim for the "noodle people" aesthetics. However, if you are still learning the normal body proportions, your skill probably requires buying a tiny mannequin… ah! "Lay figure"!

Look up "lay figure doll" online.
Its a finy faceless doll that has the proportions of a human being. You can put one right before you and then draw your character.

Bonus points for taking pics of yourself and the doll while drawing - it may help you to beat *those* dreaded allegations.

>>44363
No, killing old people regardless of your edgy sociopathic ideology doesn't fix the problem of reduced demand from a shrinking population causing economic crash. The wealthy will see their investments plunge in value and will follow the natural incentive to increase immigration to prop up real estate prices, consumerism, etc.
