I hate manga.

Why is it hard for manga authors to not make garbage? 

Why is it hard for them to come up with a unique setting or a unique take on urban fantasy or sci-fi?

Why is it hard for them to have unique art styles and unique character designs?

Seriously, over a percent of 99 manga is shit.

I heard in Japanese schools they don't mention that Japan was allied with the Nazis. They just say the Nazis were very bad and leave it at that.

I haven't watched the Pokemon anime in a long time, is there anything truly worth going back to, or is it all just blind nostalgia? I'll occasionally read news about the series, like how Ash finally won the Pokemon league, and has at long last been written off the show. Honestly, I lost interest in the anime after the infamous XYZ meltdowns and subsequent Sun and Moon seethe. Nothing will ever top that.

The only ones worth watching is the 90s series for nostalgia, and the gen 6 series because it's the closest Pokemon ever came to being a shonen.

Welcome to my world. I haven't had interest in anime since Attack on Titan ended. Looking at what's coming out these days makes me think that was the peak for this decade like madoka magica was for 2010s. The 2000s and 90s was full of good stuff every year every season from what I checked.

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.

theres some youtubers who are saying japan isn't a amusment park. that means some people who come visiting japan think they're in a funfair. I think if I'd ho in japan If be this kind of person thinking I'm 8n amusment park. I may insults others who go to japan but I may be worst than those youtubers. I don't know anymore

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?

The globalist everyman will tell you that Japan's darkest cultural aspect is their genocide and total dehumanization of the Chinese. Smart people will see this as good and lighthearted make jokes about it, for in darkness there is light.

it's not only justified, but vindicated. The Chinese are, as much as you may like them, a cancer, and they are huge. Their influence should be cut out from everywhere.

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.

Not really, I just mean that heavily creative aesthetic that breathes all kinds of life, detail, imagination, blah blah blah, on the animation and its mise-en-scene, as though the artist was inspired on too many levels to mention and wanted others to see that inspiration too.

But I'm old.
When I googled "50s animated movie backgrounds" I just got stuff from Disney or other USA related junk, instead of stuff from films like Johnny the giant killer or even Animal Farm.

Go figure.

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.
