why dont jap kids just learn to torrent?
dumb zoomers
>>287316040I thought japan had super cheap manga cafes? Wasn't that the whole reason?
>>287316040They are busy watching puppets on NHK
>>287316040>manga>torrent
>>287316082cheap is expensive when your income is 0
In Japan you actually go to prison for pirating it’s not like America where it only happens as a loophole to get your digital footprint to sell or look for a more serious charge
>>287316040i wouldnt do piracy in japan, shits actually dangerous there.
>>287316040they have ridiculously strict piracy laws in japan, so torrenting is basically a nonoyou'll have to at least have a safe vpn if you choose to do it
>>287316096Yes?Don't tell me you read 1280px .jpegs on some shitty rehosted site like a pleb?
>>287316040It's illegal and actually has consequences. The copyright lobby is extremely strong in Japan and politicians just turn their wishlists into laws.>>287316130This.
>>287316183Don't tell me you don't read ongoing manga that don't get torrents
>>287316322Don't tell me you read unfinished shit
>>287316040>digital manga subscriptionsExcept, majority of jap digital manga sites don't do that, instead the do the free points system with pic rel autism and paid coins system.
100% they just don't give a fuck about it
>>287316322First of all what the other anon said, 99% of what I read is finishedSecondly yes even if I read something ongoing I download it
Manga is ded in Japan. Gaming is ded in Japan. What do people do for fun these days?
>>287316473You reading raw?
>>287316532Play puzzle dragon on the train to work

>>287316532Ive been drawing and reading classics more and will start gardening when the last frost date passes.
anyone believes this shit? You are telling me digital is more expensive than physical, that sounds like Japan paper lobby or the journo is retarded.
>>287316183
>>287316532porn (both jav and 2d hentai) is also deadendless cuckshit and femdomshit"problematic" genres are slowly being eradicated
>>287316726Some artists are unironically training local private AIs on their own art because variant_sets sell better than doujins at a fraction of effort.
>>287316704inflation has been hitting japan hard in the past decade and with oil prices the cost even for cheap paper that japan uses for their manga might rise even higherdigital is a problem because people below 18 can't buy anything online
>>287316704there's a pretty big fucking shitstorm brewing in Japan right now regarding borrowed yen and it's driving a bad situation into an even worse spot.
>>287316726isn't that due to Visa and Mastercard bullshit, not actual lack of interest
>>287316548Not him, bud I do It's better, and helps you learn Japanese
>>287316726pretty sure manga has less restrictions than tv anime tho
because torrenting is considered more evil than destroying a shrine
>>287316940All the time you spend learning Japanese just to read comics is time you could be spending reading comics
Could it also be that there are less good mangas due to magazines handling of new series and long running series are just the Japanese version of the simpsons? Pretty sure I’ll see this then see how JJK or demon slayer broke all records ever in some specific time period
>>287316986it won't be long until you won't be reading manga though, just mtlif you want to read it like it's supposed to be conveyed and not not AI gurgle you'll have to learn japanese at some point
>>287316986>reading comicsname good ones
>>287316963How many people regularly destroy shrines in Japan?
>can afford physical>can't afford digital >instead of sticking with physical just don't read manga at all (?)Makes me think of those people that say they're going to stop reading manga because there's no big normalfag magnet like Mangadex after they go down.
>>287317018That's stupid. Forcing a manga to continue beyond the point where the author had good ideas only makes it ruin its own legacy.There is an argument to be made that quick cancellations are an issue, but not lighting a fire under the mangaka's ass in the initial chapters does have the downside where it could be like 80 chapters before it even starts to get good. The manga should come with its best foot forward and if the author's work doesn't show promise in the first 3 or so tankos I could get why they'd axe it.A manga doesn't have to be long to be good, and it's better for it to be good and short than drawn out.
>>287317203Chinks and black people disrespect and do small graffiti sometimes. Indogs, pakis, and kurds are likely to flame them like arabs do to churches and synagogues in Europe, but no incidents yet.

>>287316877Why does all this bad shit come out of America?
>>287317523ended up with basically every nation to implement their own digital payment system so they're not beholden to them anymore, so well done Visa I guess?
>>287316130>>287316287do VPNs not exist in Japan?
>>287316707i'm glad that madokami still exists(though i'm a pleb that rather use mangadex to read instead of hoarding endless data)
>>287317523America is involved in many countries and how they function. Might change with how things are going recently though.
>>287317630You're right it will change. America will be in even greater control and it's cultural & political hegemony will spread further. The thousand year empire is just ramping up
>>287317721>bugmen moralfags winningI hate it.
>>287317581Japanese do not believe in VPNs and piracy
>>287316532read shitty WNs you seelike me
>>287316040They don’t care. They’ll just move on to whatever the brown Muslim children ‘new Japanese’ want to spend money on. Manga was a business
>>287317841but Japan is the kingdom of manga
>>287317780Shirabi was caught pirating a doujinshi a few years ago and was publicly shamed into buying it.
are zoomers/alphas really fucked as a generation? they don't know how to pirate, they grew up surrounded by corporate slop, most things they own are chink shit, they don't study because "hurr no child left behind", they're constantly monitored, they're surrounded by tech but are less tech educated than millenials, etc etc.
>>287316532I see a lot of them crossdressing and masturbating on twitter
>>287316532Kids these days are obsessed with bullying.Manga and stuff are lame.
They're still trying to blame their lack of effort in their industry on young people losing interest in [something], even though they were ridiculed for it about 10 years ago.
>>287318057>They're still trying to blame their lack of effort in their industry on young people losing interest in [something], even though they were ridiculed for it about 10 years ago. The article discusses a lack of effort, yet those who hate the media jump straight to criticizing it without even reading it—typical of old-time internet users.
>>287317961You forgot them getting cucked out of putting effort into anything by AI.They're the generation of miserable, disempowered consumer drones with no future.
I'm being quite serious about this: I'm writing a message that exceeds the 30-character limit for free posts on social media.As a result, more people's brains automatically reject comprehension when they perceive text as too long.Firstly, books consisting only of text, such as novels, are not understood and therefore do not sell.This has progressed even further, to the point where people are refusing to buy manga because they don't understand it even after looking at it.That looks like a cause-and-effect relationship.
>>287318099Counter point: LNs are quite popular, even though they're words words words.
>>287318096>consumerno, most businesses have shifted their models to ignore the majority of the population and only cater to the wealthy. vast amounts of people aren't participating in consumerism because they've been priced out of it
>>287318153Partially true, but that's only because the economy is so shit, companies are using it as survival strategy.
>>287316726>endless cuckshit and femdomshityou're retarded and wrong
>>287318153i'm in webdev and the amount of jewery going on in ANYTHING web related is astonishing really. for years the mantra was "why spent thousands of dollars on dev time, when you can just pay for this tool/plugin and spent 1/10th?", but now fucking EVERYTHING is a sass and everything has like a basic level where you can't do shit, and then the actual "best value!" level which is what you want(realistically) and every single one is "that'll be $150 per month. plus tip"fucking hate modern tech like you wouldn't believe.>>287318188yeah fuck no, companies are mega jewing every single fucking thing
>>287316183>like a pleb?The only plebs are the ones who download things like manga just to read them.
>>287317511Weak bait
>>287316040>MANGA DYING>COMICS DYING blah blah blah as long as there's people who want to make them, they'll never die fuck sell fags.
>>287318274>bait>it's realityWhat did he mean by this?
>>287318286>as long as there's people who want to make themAre there? Even the successful mangakas quit after a decade or so these days. Gone are the days where 1 guy would carry the industry for 40 years
>>287316130Nah they still pirate, although less so than America and much less than third world countries
>>287316795I'm honestly surprised more artists don't do that. Can't be easily accused of stealing your own art (though LLMs come with a bunch of stuff that is trained off other things) and probably easy to hide if you're competent.
>>287316532Read LN/WNs. Nobody bothers translating them unless they have a popular adaptation but going by floorspace LNs are as popular as manga at least and nowadays even LNs are not originals but rewrites from amateur WNs.I think part of the issue is that to make manga you have to be able to draw which is way more obvious if it's just bad and you will need to draw a lot. While everyone can sort of write and it's easier to write a lot of slop so there's a huge amounts of those.
>>287316040>can't afford digital platform subscriptions550 yen for Book Hodai618 yen for Bookpass780 yen for Comic FUZ836 yen for Bookwalker960 yen for Comic Days1480 yen for cmoa1480 yen for KomifloHow poor are they?
>>287318989>Nobody bothers translating them On the other hand, literally every officially translated LN ever is contained in a single reasonably sized torrent (+updates) with plenty of seeds.
>>287319008>asking a kid to manage multiple subscriptions
>>287318989Makes sense and I assume it's a lot cheaper since it's just text on a website and there's so many authors all giving shit away. In terms of hours of entertainment per yen it's a lot cheaper. But are people in Japan really that poor? Just like how gaming an industry that Japan once pioneered and dominated is now been reduced to f2p mobile slop and retail releases barely sell aside from Nintendo. Nobody wants to spend anything on entertainment.
>>287316040Because it is super illegal in Japan and they do enforce it.Outside of Japan they can't actually do shit about it.
>>287319124One is already plenty. You get dozens of magazine issues per month that way. With two you'd end up with more than you can realistically read.
>>287319008boss, an hourly wage for an apprentice/assistant is 800yen, a part-timer usually gets 1000-1200yenThats like, 5,4€ - nobody has money for that kind of stuff anymore
>>287316532Apparently prostitutes are incredibly pushy and basically walk up to marks and demand they have sex with them...So probably that.
>>287319246How many hours per month do people work?
>>287319272don't know, i'm a NEET
>>287316532Gacha. China won
>>287316096Most of the manga I read is torrented. Skill issue.
>>287316532For now, vtubers are free. There's free to play gacha games also. It's too expensive to live.
>>287316040Japan would rather chop off their right nut than download a 50 year old NES rom.
>>287319008That is all far too expensive for how little money young people have these days.
>>287318559Maybe they are, and are generally competent.
>>287319490The skill issue of you not knowing Japanese and barely reading manga?
>>287319625It is actually far easier to find untranslated manga torrents than translated ones. Just on nyaa there's dozens of raws uploaded every day.
>>287319717And that's everything you read?
>>287319717Not really, not if you want anything remotely niche
>>287319749Even if you want mainstream those rips are so bad, they're not worth reading.
>>287319008What’s the availability here? What should I subscribe for all the latest isekai porn series?
>>287316040No, this is clearly a left-wing stealth marketing article.Why are you taking this so seriously...?
>>287316040The fact that you're praising webtoons, which are being abandoned all over the world and don't even have many famous works, speaks volumes.
>>287319863Book Pass and Bookwalker have you covered with Young Dragon Age, Comic Ride Advance and Young King Lambda.Comic Valkyrie stopped the magazine release but the lineup right up your alleyhttps://kimicomi.com/
Articles of that kindNo, that guy's articles always mention how great Korean webtoons are.The phrase "Japanese manga is garbage" is always included in that.
>■Webtoons are extremely popular in South Korea.Anyone who takes this article seriously is an idiot.
>>287316040>The trend of young people moving away from manga has become a hot topic.>https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/cc4b134859845e23fba542e9f97286660d38b270?page=2 President Online is favorable towards Korean culture. This is another one of those typical writers saying, "Webtoons are great, aren't they?">In other words, Korean webtoons are structured in three tiers: "works that are free to read and widely read," "works that are frequently charged for," and "works that are suitable for film adaptation.">On the other hand, the Japanese digital comic market is weak in this fundamental aspect, which makes it difficult for children to get into.
>>287316839>borrowed yenExplain this like I'm 10
>>287320234>>287320169>Comparing Japan to Korea, which boasts a much bigger digital comic (webtoon) readership among the same demographics, Iida notes that the “digital manga” culture didn’t have the chance to take off among Japanese children due to several factors. Most notably, the adult-oriented nature of digital comics, whose market has grown primarily thanks to frequent and pricy in-app transactions and subscription plans. How exactly do Korean comic apps even work? In Japanese ones you can typically read a limited amount of chapters per day for free.
>>287320340Maybe talking about the yen carry trade. Because interest rates in Japan were so low people would borrow ten and convert to other currencies but now rates are rising this doesn't work well anymore. Causes loans to be repaid and assets sold. Less available for investment.
>>287316040I always find it weird how for a supposed 1st world country, the wages have never caught up to the likes of America/Europe. How the fuck is it possible that your average wage in Japan is bordering poverty tier?
>>287320167Thanks, this is actually useful information. Though it seems I need to pay per chapter/volume in bookwalker instead of a flat subscription.
>>287316385This. It's always some retarded system and you're locked into their specific digital platform that'll inevitably just cease to exist whenever they decide it's not worth supporting it anymore.
>>287316040>something something you'll bring shame to our family
>>287316070>fiscally moral zoomersOh.
>>287316634yea that's what he said
>>287316040This isn't much different than TV networks hemorrhaging viewers over the past few decades or certain types of movies underperforming in theaters. People were simply more willing to dedicate their time and money to those things when there wasn't so many other things to do/stare at on internet connected screens
>>287320655This is what's stopping me from buying manga I can't find anywhere.If they don't give me a .pdf or other format I can easily use on multiple devices then I want no part of it.
It's not about kids being able to "afford" it, most parents understandably won't allow their children to use their credit cards for subscriptions.
>>287320585Japan is even cheap for a Mexican, Japan's problemis over regulations and then importing indians to take entry jobsAlso everything is concentrated in Tokyo
Whether people want to admit it or not gen alpha and beyond is heavily invested in short form content, in jp mostly youtube shorts with some tiktok. In the west mostly tiktok. Children/teens would rather watch 5 hours of 600 short vides rather than 5 hours of reading a bunch of manga volumes. This of course leads to where we are now and it will only get worse and generations get more addicted, content becomes more addicting and social media becomes more and more accessible and monetized.
>>287316877Visa might actually get kicked out of Japandunno what's going on there, but from what I know>Visa might get banned>Japan wants their own payment processor, specially for digital use>Courts so tired of Nintendo they told them to calm the fuck down>Japs speaking out against the ban of mods and custom firmware, not for piracy, but to learn how to do software like every dev did before>Said no to age verification thanks to Love Hina' mangaka that is now involved in politics>no more immigrants sentiment, but somehow like Latam >Apparently people want the emperor back>Crunchyroll might get sued>possible regulations for foreign investors in JP companies>Some law that banned Type A and Type B bodytypes from gamesThere is some surveillance thing going on and they re protesting against it tho, but dunno the details, something about anti espionage central
Meanwhile, an actual japanese person...https://x.com/makoto_sanda/status/2041526202180251652>I don't know about Western Europe, but regarding Japan, I think the article might be wrong to begin with. That's because there's other data showing that the majority of Japanese children like manga.Huh, seems like OP is a complete and utter faggot.
>>287316070>>287316082see>>287321177
>>287321088>but somehow like LatamCalm down, Paco.
>>287321088>>Said no to age verification thanks to Love Hina' mangaka that is now involved in politicsWhat the fuck? Isn't that the same guy who's exwife sued him since she had the likeness of the main girl? Or was that To Love Ru?
>>287321088>Crunchyroll might get suedFor what? Haven't heard of this.
nothing ever happens
>>287321365Selling user data without consent.It has nothing to do with Japan so I don't know why he brought it up.
Conservatives unironically won the culture war in Japan and because conservatism restricts novelty, it gets boring reading the same dragon quest/mmo inspired rpg power fantasy setting over and over again. Granted that doesn't mean that the nips will likely soon turn again conservatism, if anything they are doubling down on it but the inherent boredom that comes from being conservative to a strict degree will eventually get to them, no matter how socially unacceptable deviations from the norms are.
>>287320460i havent used webtoon in a long time but back then the latest 5 chapters of popular series were locked behind a paywall while the rest were free to readso it was basically, read free and be a month behind other readers or pay and be up to date

>>287324387I’m looking at the Netflix top ten Japan, on my literal Japanese Netflix subscription right now, and solo leveling isn’t even on the list for either top ten series or top ten movies for today.there are 3 Korean things on the list:BTS comeback live, Bloodhound new season, and some movie called Humint.No Korean cartoons on the list. Lots of Conan movies, and the pointy hat anime at #2 behind some Japanese live-action detective series.
>>287324690That’s two different top ten lists I checked(series and movies), so it’s 3 out of 20 items, not 3 out of 10. Just wanted to make that clear.
>>287317523This bs literally came from Australia though. Google collective shout.
>>287324690Japs use prime video more.
>>287323223It's so odd seeing Jap age interests being the same as me.>30>hololive>mechs>pokemon
>>287324768Here’s today’s prime top ten for Japan (I pay for prime too because I’m stupid):1 isekai nouka2 nippon sangoku3 siren’s kiss4 tensei shitara slime data ken5 jujutsu kaisen6 Frieren 7 dr stone science future8 classroom of the elite9 dunce cap witches in Harry Potter world or whatever10 idk what this is, 2 gays of the sulfur springs or something, some anime that just started
>>287325328siren’s kiss is Korean, prime original live action drama apparentlyJapanese people tell me that Korean tv dramas are more interesting because everybody is constantly murdering each other in geysers of blood and gore and skinning each other alive with vegetable peelers, which is something they don’t really do on Japanese tv because of broadcast standards and old ladies calling the tv station to complain
>>287325539by the way we know you’re just an American troll and not an actual Korean or Chinese posterlike aside from the bad attempt at wrong grammar, the fact that you are combining South Korea and PRC into one group is absurd if you know how those two countries feel about each other.
Stellar thread as always
>>287325558?????Netflix and Amazon have tons of South Korean content for the Japanese and worldwide audience.Netflix for example is producing a lot of it. It doesn’t matter if Koreans can subscribe, we are talking about media for export. If they buy the license, they can show it.
>set up an automated home server that torrents everything>family members won't stop giving out logins to their friendsffs... anyone know this feeling?
>>287325460People love content from other countries because its new and fresh until it gets bogged down by real world issues that water it down until its sterile. When I started watching anime a decade ago I had never seen stories like that from anime in the West. But here we are in the modern year where anime is more Western than ever and all of the inherent Japaneseness has begun to vanish. Case in point censorship, the use of forks, Westernesq tropes and themes.

>>287326281>Japanese media mix is dead. While Korean and Chinese contents are rising due to easy access, less costs.It's sad, the reason anime and manga is such a giant cornerstone of the internet today is because of how prolifically it was pirated for kids all around the world to enjoy.
>>287316130only if you don't know what you're doing, and it's about as common as being sued into bankruptcy by the RIAA is in the US

>>287316726This post is what happens when you're raised by religious semi-illiterate parents. You talk shit about things you have zero knowledge of as if they were true.
>>287321890Not much different from buying magazines and throwing them away after a month because they'd take up too much space otherwise. Or paying to watch a movie in the cinema. You buy the volumes of series you like in order to own them but magazines are just a tool to stay current, not something to get attached to.
>>287327279They are getting made by someone. If it's not the conservatives because reasons??? and it's not the liberals because they'd rather starve than cater to men then who is making it?

One service problem with digital is, as we've seen, as digital services have matured they've ended up trying to nickel & dime their customers waaay harder than traditional media was able to get away with.
>>287316943Absolutely. The main issue I see is that R18 hardcore magazines are facing ridiculous censorship. All-ages softcore magazines are a lot more fappable as a result.
>>287316707Let me in
>>287328027No other word has been presented? You sure you know what an opportunity is? Need a dictionary?
>>287328195buddy, based on your previous posts, you dont even know the definitions of conservative and liberal despite clearly thinking you do.if i was you i would shut the fuck up about things i dont know and put effort into learning them. then, after i felt i had a solid foundation of knowledge, i would reengage the conversation.if thats too hard for you thats fine, but dont expect anyone to spoonfeed you basic political terminology.
>>287328250So you do need a dictionary. I can help you find one. Learners or something from your native language which would you prefer?
>>287328089Like even more black bars? I’m aware the “X years old” has been a thing for a while.
>>287328186Have you actually tried getting in?
must be bizarro world where retards from piracy sites are somehow funding the anime industry when they dont buy anything

webtoons have a bigger presence on line and every kid in japan uses line
>>287316040>wrestling in japan is becoming less popular>no one wants to become animators in japan>manga in japan is becoming less popular>whaling is no more>japan's gaming industry is losing to china and korea>nips preferring kpop over jpopGen Z Japan is such a cuck.
>>287325203faggot loser
>>287328606You forgot nip kids dont like>mecha>tokusatsuEvery single culture is declining
>>287328560idk if youre being sarcastic or not but many people who pirate anime also buy merch and give it word of mouth publicity even if they dont pay a subscription to a service or buy a dvd
>>287328606sounds like usa word for word
>>287328606If we change brittania into Korea and China, Code geass has predicted the absolute state of Japan. Japan is vassal state of Korea and China, area 11 of Holy Koreania empire and China empire.
Anyone could tell me what's wrong with this freak?>287328435>287328487>287328598>287328687>287328606
>>287321177Just another day of retards lying about Japan then
>>287328606lol
>>287328696>287328606Im not bikinischizo but you have to admit yourself that japan is losing the stranglehold to alot of subculture they created or famous for.I dont agree with the bikini shit.
LMAO at this gockcuck cocksucker>>287328598>>287328606>>287328687

>>287328606>japan's gaming industry is losing to china and koreaThis if offtopicAnd btw there are china and korea games that isn't cheap knockoff of Japan games? Last i checked their games are just a bunch of soulsclone and gay zelda copycat
>>287328734Isnt crimson desert at 270k? You mean it beat RE?
>>287316040>Japan>PCs
>>287328763RE requiem is at 344k, anon. Are you stupid?
>>287328606>>287328628why blame the new generation when it's the older people who turned all shows into garbage to make profit? Of course no one wants to become animators when everything you do is One Piece and Dragon Ball diapers episode 20 gorillion to sell merch and gacha??
>>287316040how in the world was print more affordable than digital platforms
>>287328294Mainly lightsabers and other excessive visual censorship. They get removed in the volumes but the magazines are atrocious to read. Thick black bars or mosaic are a bliss in comparison.
>>287328778PCs have been booming there in recent years. Most cross platform games get released on Steam and there's a huge streaming community.
>>287328839If one kid buys a magazine and brings it to class all the other kids can read it for free by passing it around. Digitally you'd have to share your phone which is ehhhh.
>>287316070Do you not realize that anyone from the 2010s onwards is Gen Alpha? Yes, anyone 15 years old or below is Gen Alpha and the Zoomers are already 16-30 years old now...
The Japanese use nyaa, they just don't announce it.
>>287323937I got a vacation for posting this. Be careful.

>>287316040Noticing that every nerdy medium is struggling to attract younger audiences. Feels like these hobbies will die with zillennials.
>>287321243That's To Love Ru. Love Hina guy married an idol.
>>287316040>why dont jap kids just learn to torrent?why would you advocate for this?you do realise that leaches like ourselves can only read manga for free because nips actually support the market
>>287321177The absolute level of xitter screencapping faggots.
>>287329416how so? worst case scenario the corpos pull out entirely and the artists publish everything themselves as webcomics
>>287329554>the artists publish everything themselves as webcomicsWithout getting paid? People need money to live and if nobody is willing to spend money on manga then they'll have to go back to their dayjobs.

>>287316040>Đorđeyour name is literally Georgewhy do eastern europeans just post their names in whatever bastardization of latin script they use as if they expect it to be intelligible in english?
>>287316532AI porn and erpg with their AIGF
>>287316040and there it isthat's why they go after piracy with the force of a military and are carpet bombing everythingthey can't adapt to a smaller earnings pool and are trying to eke out every drop of profitability
>>287321088Holy fucking based. So there's hope for Japan. I hope they'll find ways to sell their superior cultural product to the western wasteland despite our censorship issues.
>>287326489yes
