Virtually not feasible at all. There is no situation in which a Japanese bus company is going to trust such a role to some random ass gaijin out of country.

Now if you lived in Japan on PR, had conversational Japanese and were already a bus driver (also very unlikely) then maybe but there's no chance of any of that happening for you, let's be real. Get a similar job in your own country. Getting a job in Japan is very difficult unless you work for an international company willing to transfer you or you want to be a teacher working the equivalent of minimum wage in Japan.

I saw that getchu was hiring both part timers and full time employees, for easy shit as repackaging stuff.

I would be ok with a job like that, packaging and sending eroge and dakis to people similar to me from all over japan, but they would never hire gaijin to do this.

I have no clue what is keeping you people from talking about the best contribution Japan has brought into the Americas.
Personally, I like any 90s Honda Coupe just as long as it's possible to rice up to 500+ horsepower with at least 50 pounds of torque. The Honda Del Sol was by far my childhood dream car, but I ended up settling for a Honda CRX my parents gave me.

Any Toyota fans out there too? Toyota has been going down the drain in terms of fun factor. I can't wait until Toyota's reliability goes down too to the point where Toyota stops production in America alltogether like Toshiba.

And of course, Mazda is doing just fine.

I still have the same 97 Red DOHC VTEC del sol I had in college in one of my discinnected garages. Just like that. It was fun. I went to college in the early 2000s

I just have a shitty old Toyota that doesn't even run right now. I could have it towed and repaired or just replace it altogether, but I don't care enough about cars to sort it out. I just walk to my parents' place and give them money to buy me groceries when I need some. I'll probably get it fixed eventually. What I really want for a car is a '67 Stingray, but those are expensive as hell nowadays. Probably a bitch to maintain and a keying magnet, too.

I have always loved hatchbacks, they look the best in my opinion. it fits my personality too. I like practicality and will never need to use 4 doors or need backseats. an automobile, just like a house is to me a private sanctuary. 3 door cars represent the idea that a vehicle crafted for personal use the best in my opinion.

I don't have a good time in my life the last years of 2010s and I don't remember good what happen with this.
Now handhelds sucks, anime is so mainstream and very few video games look cool.

Majokko Tsukune-Chan is a funny and adorable OVA series that parodies the magic succubus genre of anime and manga. It's all on youtube, if you want something short and sweet to watch, I say check it out!

Berserk is such a unique blend of multiples influences
it is fascinating to see how all those different media materials got blended together
into miura's mind to form berserk

here is some inspirations to name a few:

movies:
Evil Dead 2 / 3 Army of Darkness (Guts's mechanical arm and sword and a medieval setting)
Hellraiser (God Hand which share similarities with the Cenobites)
flesh and blood (the themes of a mercenary band and the relationships within it)
Phantom of the Paradise (Griffith's transformation into Femto)

mangas:
Fist of the North Star (art style and the depiction of violence)
Devilman (The design of the Apostles)
The Rose of Versailles (the strong emotions and intricate relationships)

novel series:
Guin Saga (world-building and overall scope of Berserk)

or north american
or south american

Give me your best argument for and against this. More and more anime is coming out and being produced by not japanese.

That's only something a weeaboo or a Jap would say. Japan are culturally closer to them than any other country and from a normie non-weeb foreign perspective they are part of the same autistic, collectivist slant eye cultural sphere with the funny traditional roofs and colorful robes.

Ive been reading hundreds of isekai harem ecchi and op protag mangas and manhwas and been wondering if theres a manga that suits my selfdefeatist psychology. The mc has like a cute succubus thats kinda likes him for being op and he just abandons her and then the manga shows how much the succubus suffers and how unbothered and asexual and wizardly mc is. And basically that on repeat. also bonus points if its an isekai doe.
manga im reading rn is I'm a Curse Crafter, and I Don't Need an S-Rank Party! btw

Domesticated Yapoo: The Human Cattle
Technically an adaptation based on a novel written by a veteran of both the Manchurian Occupation and the Imperial Japanese Navy. The adaptation was largely done by Shotaro Ishinomori, a man more famous for having created Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai than for his manga works.
You can feel the early to mid 20th century flavor to the horror seeping through the whole manga. The book seems to have been something of an underground classic in Japan, kind of like the works of The Marquis de Sade or von Sacher-Masoch in much of the European continent. So far as I know the book is untranslated, but the manga have English versions thanks largely to Ishinomori's fame.

Fair warning, if you found something on the level of Superconductive Brains Parataxis distasteful then you should stay far, far away from this one.

It is worth emphasizing that the books were considered pillars of literature. Yukio Mishima praised them as the greatest literature Japan had produced since 1945. They're still subject to serious academic analysis, including by westoids such as this:
https://www.academia.edu/5347860/Empire_through_the_Eyes_of_a_Yapoo_Male_Abjection_in_the_Cult_Classic_Beast_Yapoo
But all of the social issues they comment on are very distinctly 20th century, and the manner of their most scathing commentaries take the form of sexual brutalities that generally are not receivable when used in a visual medium such as manga. So none of the manga adaptations have gained the cultural ground held by the books, and there will hopefully never be an anime adaptation despite the prestige names incl. Mishima associated at various points in history.
