>never got to go to Japan during it's peakwhy even live at this point?
>>220878044It's still nice to go. Every zoomer here is going.
>>220878144>Every zoomer here is going.that's part of the problem.
>>never got to go to Japan during it's peakthat was the 80s
>>220879159i love 80s japan but the 2000s had better aesthetics. peak otaku culture
>>220878044I went in 2009, right when the new season of Haruhi got stealth-premiered but before Endles Eight tanked the franchise.If that's not peak Japan I don't know what is.
>>220879200I'm talking about their true peak and economic growth, not some retarded drawings made by and for paedos.
>>220879233we'll never have stuff like this again and this makes me depressed.i miss my god.
>>220878044The peak according to most people was when it was under construction. Yeah let me just go back to Japan during the public works boom in the 90s and 2000s back when people were dealing stimulants openly, yakuza were still openly hanging around, and downtown looked like a SEA red light district. Even Akihabara wasn't plastered in anime until the late 90s. Peak Japan as weebs envision it barely even lasted a decade before the tourism boom.
>>220879358you have to go back.
>>220879395and nintendo still is a card company right?
>>220879603i simply don't consider tourists who hate otaku culture to be part of this place considering they hate the roots and culture of this site.
>>220879381Sic transit gloria mundi. Feels good being a millennial weeb, when anime was popular enough to find fellow otaku but before it went mainstream and got flooded with normalfags and influencer bullshit.
>>220878044Modern japan is a shithole only good for women, sexpats and zoomers, and self hating retarded weebs, oh and content creators I suppose since they can take advantage of the shit taste of the country to make more money there compared to whatever they were before.The best time to go was any point in history before 2012, before they fully started their cool japan shit. But the same thing could be said about any other country, imagine visiting UK before it became refugee land, or germany before it was full of refugees and nafris..It's over for the world
>>220878044Thank God I watched Kodomo no Jikan when I was 13. Would be weird as hell to watch this in my late 20s.
I go to japan at least 5 times a year for business
>>220878044This shit is so gay. Peak Japan will always be 1980s Japan. No question.
>>220878044Otaku slop is overrated. Most Japanese don't even care about it.
Is there anything you want?
one could argue that the 2000s was the beginning of the end, particularly for consumer electronics besides videogames
>>220878044I went in 2007 and stayed over a month. Still an experience I think back on from time to time.
>>2208850762000s otaku and internet culture
>>220885173what are the best memories you have from there?
>>220884177It gets better at your 30s
Japan is full of lolicerdos, 100% cagada
>>220884177best ED in the world.one of the rare cases of the ED being better than the OP.
>>220880354also was a site for firsties to discuss otaku culture long ago, and now the likes of you and sanjeet flood every board in existenceif it was only online it can't be helped but even in real life every remotely non dump country is flooded by thirdies like you
>>220885933nice coping kangaroo fucker, you probably don't even know the context of that meme.it was /pol/tards and election tourists who invaded every single board, you know, the types who can't stop talking about real life politics and how much they hate da joos and immigrants or whatever in every single thread imaginable.reminds me of you.
>>220886027bracaco acting like he even has the attention span to engage in otaku, or for that matter any kind of subculture discussionvira lata always desperate for that firstie attention huh?go dance samba in copacabana, the internet is for firsties
>>220886068>more copinggo eat kangaroo meat or lose a war to emos or whatever you stupid cunt, you probably can't even name 5 visual novels>the internet is for firstiesi've been here since 2006. you probably don't even know about haruhi lmao
>>220886175do us a favor, your family is waiting for you
>>220878044I know Akihabara is a tourist trap selling you overpriced trash, the mecca of ironic weeaboos and it's covered in chink/gook shit ads now, but I'd still like to visit once, just to give my weebs years a proper closure.
I'll just leave this here.
Lately, every time I go to Akihabara, I see foreigners buying up old Japanese games like crazy-sometimes to the point the shelves are empty. If they can't read Japanese, what's the point?
>>220886199>and it's covered in chink/gook shit ads nowThis thing is the worst, it seems like akiba is now minority japaneseI remember reading some visual novel company couldn't hire those shilling trucks playing music, and the very next week i see a chinese game(honkai impact) using the shilling truck in question lol
