Is it true that Japan is irrelevant in 2026?
>>217765398With the growing rise of anti-foreigner sentiment in Japan, more stories are coming out from foreigners on what living in Japan is actually like. Japan's relevancy is completed tied to its cultural capital, like anime. With more weebs becoming disillusioned with Japan, so too does it's international relevancy. tl;dr yeah
>>217765398At least here, Korea is taking over in soft power, K-pop and K-dramas especially are very famous here, honestly I don't know why
>>217765398when has it ever been relevant?
>>217766316women like them, that's all that matters really
Toho is irrelevant in Japan too. I thought foreign weaboo made this because most of fans are foreigners.
>>217766888i trust this anon
>>217765398>irrelevant>literally everyone and their dogs have gone take vacations in japanlol
>>217765501But the hostility to foreigners is how they keep their cultural capital
>>217766316Aren’t K-dramas very similar to Telenoveas? Also, South Korea is a country that came about during the age of television and desperately wants to let go of its image as a poor nation. The government actively funds Korean soft power like K-pop.
>>217766316True and anime is kinda dying Don't know why but even I haven't seen much lately
