Meanwhile in Japan...
...gacha.
"beating" a country full of geriatric old people really isnt that impressive xau peng
The Zainichi won
That's a lot of Blue Archive, I guess the Touhou era is over.
>>740613478what a depressing shithole
>>740613478Really grim.
>>740613478India looks better
>>740613478could be worse
>>740613478The old days are gone
>>740613647i'm sure it's still better than your shithole
>>740613478Would look better in hindi with ads for kebab shops
Country full of gambling addicted losers
>>740613802Gambling is illegal in Japan though. Unless you count throwing balls at Evangelion as gambling.
>>740613760lol assmad weeaboo
>>740613756Did all of those other people with moot also meet with Epstein?
>>740613854>can't gamble>its just tokens for nick nacks>but you can exchange tokens to vendors next door for cashOk buddy. No gambling whatsoever
>>740613756Shorts on males should be illegal.
>>740613969The emails made it sound like Epstein was taking advantage of Moot and Moot was rather meek
>>740613639RIP
>>740613997Japan is a weird place. Look up how they dodge prostitution laws. They even came up with their own name for thigh sex so their brothels could say they didn't offer full penetration.
>>740613756Yeah, and it's beautiful.
>>740614205Is that why he hooked up with some instagram model and got cucked? 99% of this site is cuckshit now, you're trying to tell me that nothing happened?

>>740614297Why the fuck would this guy wear a pedo meme? He even looks the part.
>>740613478So what made Blue Archive so ridiculously popular in Nipponkistan? What is it about it that made people go crazy with it over other gachas. I don't play the game but i've spilles plenty of my seed to Hasumi.
>>740614564
>>740614564Why? Because it's a pedo game where you play as a old dude spending time with children.
>>740614564They literally pay for art and pornJapan is beyond cucked so they accept the money since they are getting poor as we speak
>>740614479autism + being an ironic weeaboo
>>740614205Gamingcirclejerk raiders keep bringing it up to make 4chan look bad, very limp attempt
>>740614813thisand its based
>>740613478What a fucking shit hole
>>740613756SOVL
>>740613756>Didn't have money to travel back in 2012 when I was a weeb and japan tourism have yet to explode in popularity >Now i have the money but the entire country and cultures has been raped to the point I no longer careI'm always late to the parties
>>740613756>>740614157*cargo shortsTruly the ugliest shorts, so glad they're out of style.
>>740613969>>740614205You are brown and really low IQ.
>>740615232outside of Tokyo and Osaka its still fine
>>740614224I've realized as a old Otaku and anime/manga enthusiast that my hobby is slowly turning irrelevant and dying off.>inb4 anime has never been biggerYeah but all new generation incel otaku has moved on to Gacha and Vtuber. They simply get a better fix from watching some anime girl playing video games while they can interact with them. Anime for zoomers is boring and they can't self-insert or have a parasocial relationship with their waifu.In the future I'm sure that animation studios will die off and turn into Vtuber factories instead.
>>740613770come back in 20 years, you'll probably get your wish
>>740615576It's the same for video games to be fair. 4chan is also dying off.
>>740615576>he says when an anime movie is the highest grossing movie in Japan literally ever>yeah butBut you just ignore objective metrics to continue digging your asshole for bullshit?
>>740615758Video games are bigger than ever. Anime is bigger than ever. You are right 4chan is dying off. Who wants to be around you miserable retards?
>>740615563Kyoto is also fucked thoughbeit
>>740613756The only thing keeping me from thinking the chick is a troon is the baby
>>740615840>Video games are bigger than ever.Not among younger generations.
>>740615940Because a headline said so? I need you to stop being informed on Twitter.
>>740615940Probably because you can squeeze more money out of adults than kids with microtransactions.
>>740615984Most of 4chan, reddit and X solely gets all their views from the internet.
>>740613478akihabara was the greatest disappointment of my jp trip by far.
>>740615840>Anime is bigger than ever.No it isn'tAnime industry is bleeding moneyManga is dyingThe younguns in Japan aren't reading it because it's inaccessible to them due to high prices and it being designed for older audiences as well as the quality declining, hence Shonen Jump circulation numbers keep declining every quarterYou don't know shit nigger
>>740616047Yeah? There isn't a magazine subscription version if that's what youre saying.
>>740616047So, like everyone else?
>>740616047The three cesspits of rampant misinformation and complete nonsense. I don't know, maybe have some common sense and take proclamations of "Hundreds of millions of people totally believe this and totally are doing this" with a grain of salt.
>>740614157>>740615424Why? The extra pockets make it super easy to carry your stuff without a bag.Utility over fashion.>>740614205Doesn't matter, Epstein created /pol/, which is the big reason things are shit.>>740615576Self insert has always been the biggest cancer and that's existed before gacha.>>740616147Because it's a tourist trap now.
>>740613639Touhou is still extremely popular. Reitaisai's average age is like low 20 something because of all the young people coming in.
>>740616267No they get them from tiktok and insta.
>Meanwhile in Japan...No sexo
>>740616490
>>740616490Bring in more Indians.
>>740616815>>740616490we live in a soceity
>>740616220>Shonen Jump circulation numbers keep declining every quarterBecause people are buying their digital offerings instead.
>>740616490Japan is only good to live in if you are a content creator or anything that get paid in euro or dollars so you are not subject to their shitty economy>No sexoLiterally the capital of prostitution lol
>>740615424>t. wears gay little booty shorts
>>740616490>work 10-12 hours a day regularly>extremely expensive rent, low adoption of remote work>relatively low salaries for the cost of living>wtf why aren't people having kids
>>740617029...but enough about America
>>740617029people still have sex even if their wallets go belly uplike how people bought houses during the mid 2000's, one of the most expensive eras for real estate. It's just something people will do if given half of a merit.
>>740617029>extremely expensive rentNot really to be fair.
>>740615576Is there not an infinite archive of anime for you to watch? You'll never run out.
>>740617164I've lived in Japan making ~7k a month and I was in the like top 5% or some shit anon. A decent LDK near a station will run you ~2-3k a month. Most people can't swing that.
>>740617395That's crazy. What was your job?
>>740613756Someone post the pictures of the /jp/ meetups at the big saw, I lost mine.
>>740617029i got a job offer to move to japan for a very big, very prestigious company and at the very last step after i got approved before i signed the contract, when they made the offer and were listing all the awesome benefits i'd get, the HR lady legit said "very low overtime work".i stopped her and said "sorry, how low?""oh we have one of lowest rates of overtime work in the industry""how much on average?""most employees only work 4 to 8 hours of overtime a week on average!"i sometimes regret not taking that job but i try to remember that specific detail. they're fucking insane.
>>740617621Codemonkey. Very well paid even by tech company standards.
>>740613639Touhou had billboards?
>>740617395Japanese live in smaller appartements than Americans who need 120m2 alone. The fact is you can live inside Tokyo while being single with a job. I wish I could do that in Paris or London.
What seperates Japanese bugmen from Chinese bugmen?
>>740617646One extra hour a day isn't too bad I guess
>>740617949anime and samurai
>>740617949The Japanese are ensouled
>>740617949In the 70s-2000, a lot. Japs were creative, curious, and had passion. Now? Absolutely nothing.
>>740617702No shit, anon. I did specify LDK. I lived in a 58sqm apartment, for reference (considered large for a single person)I now live in Brazil in a 160sqm apartment in a luxury neighborhood. Must say I prefer it (though Japan has a *lot* of good going for it as well, don't get me wrong)
>>740617968i looked them up on glassdoor, their average was more like 10-14 hours a week lmao>amount of overtime isn't that bad...japs are buckbroken
>>740618017Name 1 soulful thing they've done recently
>>740616329You will never be a woman
>>740618107Grim.
I honestly think Japan has no culture anymore.
>>740613478Needs more ethnic fast food ads, and nike banners with obese niggers.
>>740617949>>740618028Japs rode that Korean war profiteering wave right after WW2 through USA while Chinks slaved in sweatshops for minimal profit until less than a decade ago.
>>740618281wrong
>>740613478Japan has fallen...
>>740618210I've started to get a lot of japanese girl feet on my twitter feed for one
>>740615232I've been in 2017, I feel like I caught the very last sputters
>>740618404Yeah Japs make cuck porn and got fucked by Americans
>>740618269Where does the kitchen door lead to?
>>740613478A failed state reduced to cumming to cartoons after being emasculated and defeated by America in WW2.
>>740618281They have culture, it has just been somewhat defiledWhile other countries get raped by immigration, japan is getting raped by tourism, at the end of the day is almost the same, except the average japanese gets poorer while the european countries citizens are better wage-wise
>>740618789it's a street level apartment anon...
>>740618795They fucked themselves over in the 90s.
>>740618876>a street level apartment>with a balcony
>>740618269Let me guess, you need more?
>>740618876>>740618923They render windows the same as doors, you morons.
>>740618872>tourismMore like consumerism, but I guess tourism kind of falls under that.
>>740619046>They render windows the same as doorsWhy would they do that? Who's the real moron?
>>740616490Our adventure has only just begun.
>>740617646>4 to 8 hours of overtime a weekthat's fuck all.
I wondered why you weren't spamming the same pictures that you usually dump where your clitty gets a bit leaky and it turns out you are also spamming /int/.
>>740619194Been a few decades since i last saw this pic
>>740613478Christ, they're pathetic.
>>740619323it's more than 0. you don't get paid for overtime in japan, as it's "included in your salary".
>>740619382dont expect jannies to do shit either
>>7406163692hu survived kancolle, will it survive blue archive?
>>740616028More like because all kids play is Fortnite and RobloxThey prefer their parents buying them skins on those games
>>740619382Ha ha, it's the same chink, but he is using an american VPN to post atm, but same filenames and all.>>>/int/222155599>>740619781Blue Archive is in a weird state where nobody plays the games but it is sustained by its own fandom. Kinda like Touhou.
>>740619781Nothing can kill Touhou at this rate unless ZUN flies off the deep end and schizos out
>>740619581So true. Not even one strong BIPOC woman in those ads
>>740619585>you don't get paid for overtimeyeah, that's what salary means. it's like that here too
>>740619935>but it is sustained by nexon money >>740614819Ftfy
>>740620137Nothing can kill Touhou because nobody actually cares about anything new that comes out.It's just all memes and self propelling references to other parts of the fandom right now. Nobody cares about canon and it's mostly shit anyway.
>>740616908No they aren't you retarded ''muh digital'' coperMost of the overall sales come from niche works aimed at adultsThe readership is getting olderYounger audiences don't have access to credit cards, the physical magazines are expensive compared to the past and the series themselves are of low quality now not to mention they are not made for kids anymore like they used to beThe average elementary school kid will have a tough time reading One Piece due to the awful paneling alone which only oldfags are able to tolerate
>>740617646Probably worth it depending on how good the benefits were . I don't know shit about their time off policy though so it might be garbage
>>740620137
>>740614205>>740614924Notice how they always bring up Epstein and moot meeting as damning evidence for him creating /pol/. Yet they never mention and ignore the extremely strong evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell (/u/maxwellhill) was actively moderating and shaping the entire discourse of reddit till the day she was arrested.
>>740620482>as actively moderating and shaping the entire discourse of reddit till the day she was arrested.Mostly because that's not how reddit works.
>>740616490>1500 a month Holy shit I make like 2.6k month in the us and this shit is peasant tier but I only have to work 8 hours a day. If I worked 10 like they did it would be closer to 3.4k
>>740620770Yeah, but you can still rent an apartment in Japan for 300 a monthI live 2 hours from work and the cheapest rent I can get is 2500 a month My 6000 a month goes away in the blink of an eye.
>>740616490This is a scam channel for donation fishing by the way. I thought you guys were supposed to be more media literate than this.
>>740613478I will bang a ganguro whore in the Godzilla hotel while King Ghidorah watches.
>>740616329>Doesn't matter, Epstein created /pol/, which is the big reason things are shit.No he didn't, you fucking retard. Please explain how he created /pol/, oh. Because the dates of the email huh? Funny faggot, if you just ignore that /pol/ or enraged White men on 4chan have been here and political since the fucking beginning.For all you know, moot hated epstein so much he decided to bring back /news/ for that reason.And its funny you fault White men for ruining everything. No, its not you leftists fault for ruining video games. No no. Its /pol/ fault for "invading" 4chan and forcing you to read uncomfortable things in 2013, like how mossad and jewish billionaires are ruining everything like crazy nazis, so you now blame mossad and jewish billionare Epstein because he made /pol/. Do you reddit retards and centrists retards ever listen to yourselves?
>>740615576if you were a true otaku you would be playing BA like the rest of us
>>740614224it will be the end of days when vtrannies take over completely
>>740620880Where the hell do you live where you have to rent cuck for that much? I can get a condo like 1.2k a month counting HOA like a half an hour away from my job in a place with not super high crime. I don't want a condo because hoa shit is gay as fuck but it's an option
>>740614715Kei victory
>>740614950guh, flat as a board
>>740614564it's a game perfectly tailored for jp otakus, full of cute girls for (you)

>>740622265Yes, Japan is always better (for now), goycattle
>>740622017No one cares about your paid porn, porn addict.
>>740621712I can't read korean runes. What does the graph say?
>>740622578if a company is paying for thousands of doujins per year they can have my money
>>740622265let's see what consumerism is up to!oh...
>>740622397Weebs are the the ultimate goycattle
>>740613478SOUL
>>740622841Now let's see what consumerism (japan) is up to!oh...
BA is modern equivalent of Touhou. Its fandom is filled to the brim with secondaries that do not give a fuck about the source material and it's sustained mostly by porn content.The game barely charts on japanese app stores and Nexon has stated that BA survives via merchandising.
>>740623318>survives via merchandising.Doubt. They'd have to be selling new stuff every month and they don't.
>>740623294>who maded this
>>740623451He's a extremely illiterate brown shitskin, please understand.
>>740620662Site administration doesn't have any impact on how a site is run... oh, ok then, lol
>>740613854Asians are globally the most insanely addicted to gambling. I swear your average chinaman cannot go more than a couple hours without hitting up the slots. Go into any casino anywhere in the world and it will be a minimum of thirty percent chinks in there.
>>740615232Just go bro its not that deepvisit the country too, they treat tourists like kings because they spend a lot of money
>>740624009>Just go bro its not that deepYeah. I went in 2023, which I guess was before the "streamer/influencer" explosion in the past couple of years, but it was great. The internet is not the real world.
Japan is also being homogenized and diminished by the GAE.We used to like Japanese culture because it was *expressly* Japanese in its idiosyncrasies and modes but now everything else outside Japan has become a tiny bit Japanese (due to popularity) while Japanese culture has become a whole lot more westernized. Things have degraded, you can feel it.I think in a way, technology, and how everything is now digitalized and happens online also destroyed a lot of the doujin and otaku culture.If there is no influx of new blood then things get lost... and younger generations are growing up with incredible tools at their hands and have access to huge amounts of media, they probably don't feel as enticed to create their own stuff when there's already so much available.
>>740613756>flip flops, chucks and 3/4 cargo pantsat least the world improved in terms of fashion>>740617029it was the same 50 years ago and people still had kids
>>740621665
You dont go to japan for the gaming loser
>>740624009Modern japan is shit unless you are a weeb that soijack over "thing japan" which is the majority of zoomers nowadays but you get the idea, whatever made the old japan before the tourism boom is long gone.
>>740624009The amount of people who visit Japan and stick entirely to the cities is incredibly sad. My attitude for visiting any country is that if you're not visiting for the people, the culture, and the geography, why are you even going in the first place? I'm not joking, the best weekend of my entire life was relaxing in some bumfuck nowhere town in Kansai. I spoke to all the old people and loved hearing their stories, the weather was amazing so I was even invited to a BBQ in a garden. I also had sex with a professor I'd just met, but I know you guys won't believe me. She was so beautiful.These simple and quiet pleasures of life aren't matched by anything in a city alone, it's all about experiencing the whole country.
>>740613478...no good games are being made
>>740613639It's less about Touhou vs Blue Archive and everything to do with an Amateur event getting wholly Commercialized.
>>740615232>>740615563Went to Japan a month ago, Kobe was pretty cash money and rural Gunma was easily the best part of the tripCities are ok but once you've spent 3 days in Osaka you kinda get sick of it
>>740613639It isn’t that expensive to advertise there, I’ve seen a lot of LN series plastered over akiba before
>>740625056idc about that i just want people to go on adventures and stop planning so intensively
>>740624635why do these tiktok retards think japan is a playground?
>>740625731Not raised in a culture that has any common values.
>>740619781Send me Poop Shartchive.
Total Gachanigger Death
>>740625056I plan on going to Japan in a couple of years but I know shit all about the language. How fucked would I be if I go to Kansai
>>740625731Because it is? modern japan is only good for weebs and npcs
>>740625731Anyone stopping them?
>>740625731Japan are for the new breed of Disney adults who grew up on the manga and anime invasion of the 2000s. It basically is one big Disneyland for them
The real normie games are hoyo games. All the students my wife teaches at least plays either genshin or honkai star rail. They're the kind of big budget but highly accessible game with anime graphics that appeals to all ages in japan.
>>740626123where do you guys live and what does she teach
>>740625486It sort of killed some of the fun of comiket for me
I remember looking forward to new comiket releases now there is basically no niche shit left ex just flooded with fate and blue archive slop
>>740625056>acting as if doing sex tourism in japan is something not common when the entire country already surpassed thailand in sex tourismgoddamn weebs
>>740626121The irony about that is that I am a massive weeb who has since then transitioned to being a chink and koreaboo and I literally live in kyoto and it is the weirdest shit to visit an animate where I should be onions facing for standing in the same type of store that Konata from Lucky Star was frequenting 20 years ago but I am just there to check for new ZZZ merch while listening to stellar blade music. I should have come here earlier when I was still passionate about japan but I didn't have the money and opportunity a decade ago.
>>740626113You should be allowed to kill people that do this in buses or trains, with great prejudice and no consequences.
>>740625056I go for the cheap food, hotels, bars, and the fact that I don't have to worry about getting shanked by a groid or brown
>>740614232>Japan is a weird place. Look up how they dodge prostitution laws. They even came up with their own name for thigh sex so their brothels could say they didn't offer full penetration.they say they only do thigh sex but really they do real sex but say thigh sex to avoid arrest?
>>740626417Sounds kind of soulless ngl
>>740626179Kyoto, and she's coordinator for IB courses in an international school. All her students are zoomers and whenever she talks about the dumb shit her students are into I just roll my eyes.
>>740619028Yes. I cook a lot so having a kitchen that shit is insulting.
>>740614819>BA makes no money!>BA pays for billions of arts and doujins!Which one is it sis?
>>740625720Well, there's that too.>>740626029No more or less fucked than anywhere else in the country. Dispel all the scary myths you've heard about 関西弁. As far as I'm concerned every single person on this board should learn 日本語 but if you just want to learn the basics you can do so, and get by just fine.
>>740626417When I went to Japan for a work trip last year I couldn’t find much hoyo merch at the stores I went to. I found mostly FGO, BA and Nikke figs and scrolls
>>740626484Nta but brothels offee sumata or intercrural sex and some outcall services offer anal, everything to go around actual intercourse because that is illegal and may land you in jail and get deported. You have to be really sure or what you're getting into becauee japan has scammers just like any other tourist trap
>>740626705I had a family member that went and stuck to Tokyo and Osaka while knowing 0 Japanese but I think if I went to the middle of nowhere Kansai knowing nothing I probably couldn't really get to know the people or culture too well which is why I ask
>>740619781It'll definitely be fine in China. They have pretty sizeable Touhou conventions all over the country at an alarming frequency.
>>740620246Yostar is the one who does it not Nexon
>>740618281I think it's funny when people think Japan invented animation.
mfw my first trip to japan I went trying to find some gunpla to finally get into the hobby, but I found something that wasnt gunpla and a different and no media IP from koto instead I really dont like gundam
>>740626484It's both, they have prostitution for every fetish out there and they also have normal prostitution which they pretend to be retarded and decide to ignore, soaplands operate in that retardation, since you are paying to "get showered" and the sex just happens after they shower
>>740626963They're cracking down on soaplands rn
>>740613478>>740613639When I went it was Stellar Sora, the newest Yostar hotness.
>>740626395Just say you don't like lolis, faggot.
>>740626705I don't bother learning another language because I can barely have a decent conversation in my own. I'm absolutely terrible at speaking so trying to balance a second language im ess familiar with will only be worse and more awkward
>>740627023What happened to this game
>>740623437Most of their stuff sells out too fast.
>>740627052I do. I don't like ones with retarded Halos and fate lolis are just garbage
>>740626491I am aware but I frankly haven't been into anime since like 2016. My passion for japanese culture pretty much died after I stopped visiting /a/ or realized what a shithole it had become and slowly grew out of anime as a whole. I still love japanese video games but that really isn't otaku culture is it? Plenty of people love souls games and resident evil but you don't really have to go on a pilgrimage to Japan to enjoy those things. Nothing compared to the 2000s when people would gather together at 1 am to watch via a shitty livestream app and suffer through corny japanese live action dramas just to catch an episode of Madoka untranslated. God those were the times. MORNING RESCUE
>>740627087No idea, I had never heard of it until I went and started seeing ads for it over there.
>>740627163What did halos ever do to you?
>>740626928Getting into plamo with gundam is easy mode. Other plamo companies just expect you to know a thing or two about plastic models. What kit btw
>>740615772>>he says when an anime movie is the highest grossing movie in Japan literally everThe highest grossing movie in Japan has been one anime or another for the last 30 years. It's nothing new and every movie on the list is the most normalfag shit possible, your average otaku isn't foaming at the mouth over the newest Detective Conan movie.
>>740613756They have all transitioned now.
>>740624428cargo pants are back
>>740627345On that note I am honestly surprised that they still making conan movies. I guess it's a weird cultural thing where it's only big in japan.
>>740626789Your intuition is correct. However this is still not really a problem - if you know the basics then you can ask locals questions for anything you need, who will hear you speak and see what you look like, and from there they'll code switch and speak slowly in standard language to help you out. It is true that, at that level, the language barrier is probably too high to have any deeper conversations. But my advice is to start learning today and in two years time you'll be more than capable of having more sophisticated chats. Occasionally someone will speak fluently in English but of course you should not count on this.

Yoooo these shrines are older than my country & culture *starts breakdancing uncontrollably *
>>740627021They wish
>>740624347
>>740627576maybe im old and jaded , im told they get paid well. but i just feel bad for all these girls
>>740622726As if any company will ever be this based.
>>740627392Detective Conan is massive over there, when I went they were doing some kind of scavenger hunt promotion with JR East and the lines to get stamps at the train stations were really long.Reminded me of the early Pokemon Go days with how crowded it got.
>>740627568I went up these steps when I was in Japan and its so fucking annoying because people are stopped everywhere taking selfies and videos
>>740624347>>740627532>>740627638You're glowing, Mr Demoralization.
>>740614224KanColle and GuP sisters ... how did this happen ... at least the latter still gets a trickle of active dev ...
>>740614819>Japan is beyond cucked so they accept the moneyYeah, taking money from marketing firms who want to rent your ad space is such a cuck thing.
>>740616147Yeah same for me.
>>740627491Yeah and japan is like that nowadays. Thankfully I live somewhat on the outskirts of kyoto near Uji city where it's a slow sleepy area but you mostly live with old people but whenever I visit Kyoto itself it's just foreigners everywhere, loud chinks, and tons of backpackers. You can barely differentiate chinks, taiwanese, gooks and japs from each other. All the hobby shops are just infested by chink tourists hoarding shit to resell back in china. It's depressing.
>>740627649If they aren't being trafficked by the yakuza or other criminal gang, they are probably just as miserable as any other sex worker
>>740627649Rampant prostitution is the best measurement of a fucked up countryJapan is a special case since prostitution has been linked to the culture for hundred of years and is seen as normal, however their society has fallen so low they now have street walkers for the first time since WW2 since they can get more money doing that compared to working as escort or in any of the 10 different sex-related establishment.
>>740627576No way those places let you bareback their girls. Fuck outta here. That's from regular people having sex.
>>740614813>>740621712True, and that's a good thing
>>740627732To me GuP just died a natural death. It has been more than 10 years and the movies and anime had pretty much exhausted all it had to offer. It lasted more than Strike Witches which is impressive but it was always going to be nothing more but a niche IP for an even smaller niche of military otaku.
>>740627087it's still going but they are releasing hags so it's not making a lot of noiseit's not making a lot of money because they fucked it up like in 3 different ways but i think they will keep it alive for a time since it's their first game
>>740617626damn brat
>>740626746>couldn’t find much hoyo merchHow is that even possible? on Twatter, Hoyo is all the Japs talk about. I also asked ChatGPT, it said this.
>>740615576>Anime for zoomers is boring and they can't self-insertNigga anime is only self-insert isekai these days
>>740627740Koreans literally raped japan's very concept of a 50+ year old event made for fans, it was supposed to be an event where everyone shared fan content with other people who shared similar interests, which is why also the reason companies used to ignore the fact they were making money with their IPsNow it has become some paid shilling event and completely raped the spirit of the event kek
>>740627831Asian prozzies are weirdly cavalier about STDs. It sucks honestly, I like a fastidious whore
>>740627720this site has no way to root out blackpillers and doomers which is why xitter is more effective
>>740627819Sex establishments are a scam anyway. There are so many arbitrary rules per store that you may not get what you pay for and often times you get catfished because they use photoshopped previews but what are you gonna do, walk out the store for being given a different girl and demand your money back?
>>740627831They used to for extra money, not anymore after the STDs rate went up kek
>>740613478Akihabara was pretty meh. Like two short streets and that's it.
>>740613639nope, still tons of touhou in akiba. an entire shop dedicated to it, even. never got into the series myself so i never buy anything there but it's all really cool.
>>740627819>prostitution has been linked to the culture for hundred of years and is seen as normali remember seeing a video ten years ago where an interviewer was going around asking japanese women how they felt about their boyfriends and husbands seeing prostitutes and all of them said "its not a problem, shes a whore, im the wife" with total relaxation and no concern. really eye opening
>>740627164the real otaku culture shifted from anime to gacha since the covid
>>740627935They just need to make a new cast in a new school (same soulful sailor uniforms, I insist) and it will feel fresh again. They have proven time and time to have a talent for creating colorful characters, but they aren't doing anything with it. And the tankery sports angle (or military in general) offers also endless amounts of possible plot points. If soccer anime can run for 30 years with the soccer theme, then tankery sports anime can run for more than 10.
>>740615934Isn't she the crying to a shape puzzle solving tick-tock girl?
>>740617968Fuck that. I work for a "prestigious" international company in Tokyo with a supposedly great work life balance, with 1 hour of overtime everyday and it absolutely sucks ass.It just drains more of your energy and leaves less for you to do what you like.Unless the may is great, don't fall for it.
>>740613478
>>740617029This would easily be solved if they opened the gates for weebs and people willing to move and learn Nippon.But they won't. It's their own self-inflicted wounds. Same as America and other "western" nations with declining birth rates. They could fix the system, but Boomers flat refuse to and wonder why their kids don't talk to them or have kids.
Um, I'm scared to ask, but why is Japan in such a precarious situation anyway? Why is the yen so weak? Why is the birth rate declining? Why are they letting so many people from other parts of Asia waddle in?
>>740628148The more money you pay the better is what they give you, also since prostitution is so rampant in japan many establishments offer you membership cards with discounts and stuff like that if you become a regular costumer.
>>740627765Was in Kyoto few weeks ago and it felt like a theme park
>>740621383>>740621383It's telling that all these """old otakus""" can't name a single japanese franchise these days that's more otakucore than BA, other than 2hu.
>>740628239kek, reminds me of paul harrel wet behind the jeep at a furry con
>>740628332Their country is being puppeter by america to become the first disney world country, everything about modern japan is basically walt disney's idea of an EPCOT but applied to an entire country>birthratesAll 1st world countries have that problem
>>740628194Japs think 1h of overtime a day isn't bad while Europeans are implementing 4-day work week. It's sad.
>>740628297>save Japan>by flooding it with brown weebs obsessed with Dragon Ball Super and hentaiAmazing plan, Pablo.
>>740628172There were gacha games dominating comiket since ~2015, idiot, including kancolle and FGO.
japan has nothing to do with anime otakus lolmost people I know there barely watch anime, they know one piece and stuff but that is pretty much itwatching anime is more of a western thing nowadays all of the arcades in japan are also dead since agesthey are 99.9% crane games now, which also went from 100yen per play to 200+ and is mostly for yet again, foreigners
>>740628332Because China exists. Japan just isn't competitive enough. They have an islander mentality but they also have a massive population that cannot support isolation despite how they begrudgingly hate gaijins. Like call chinks and gooks copycats and crooks, but they are doing something. Japan for the most part of the 21st century has been comfortable just idling by doing their own thing. It's like playing an RTS match where you're just turtling around casually while everyone is playing gookclick 9000.
>>740628332>Why are they letting so many people from other parts of Asia waddle in?They have a shortage of work manpower because birth rate has been declining and people are getting old.>Why is the birth rate declining?Japan as a nation collectively decided to sudoku itself with absolutely abhorrent work culture and no one has money or time for children.
>>740614479He has ascended beyond your judgment. You mean nothing to him.
>>740613887Mutt came into the thread to seethe lmao
>>740628332They're trying to revive the economy which has been in a state of stagflation for the past ~30 years. The yen is weak and people won't have kids because the economy sucks and there's no economic safety net. They're trying to bring in immigrants to bolster the workforce for jobs that "no one wants" at the wages that they're paying, hence why you see Indians and other South Asians working in convenience stores and construction now. Japanese boomers basically live like American boomers too where they loot the government for benefits.
>>740628451>All 1st world countries have that problemSHUT UP IT'S ONLY A JAPAN PROBLEM CHUD
I did the usual Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and now going back I’m thinking of doing Sapporo and Okinawa, any anons got any opinions on those two?
>>740628039They’re mass producing big budget shounen anime all the time now, isekai only gets meme’d on because it replaced all the battle harem and more unique niche manga/LNs
>>740621527>>740615576>I've realized blabalablabla why isn't shit the same as it was when I was 12Meanwhile ZUN
>>740628575No such thing as "manpower" shortage retardGovernments under pressure from businesses and interest groups have created an economy where it requires 2 people to earn what 1 person used to earn. Double the labour supply and you get increased tax revenue, greater gdp, and lower wages. Great for Governments and businesses, bad for creating babies.
>>740627576Why did it spike?
>>740613639>Japan is actively importing SAARS>Blue Shartchive becomes extremely popular there
>>740628565Japan would rather go extinct that change, and I vaguely respect that. You hate the rest of the world and want to die before engaging with it? Okay. RIP.
>>740628565And honestly it's very depressing. You go to japan and there's a lot of heritage sites and old timey stores being managed by old couples but the signs are now in broken english and all the customers are foreigners. If you want to enjoy japan, fuck off from the city and try to hiking in the mountains or visit the countryside. It's hard and risky but it pays off.
>>740628718Okinawa is amazingSapporo is terrible
>>740628804Post the indian population in Japan, tranny.
>>740628718Okinawa is heavily Americanized in some places due to the military presence but it genuinely has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It's like stepping into one of those early 2000s videogames with the tropical aesthetic.
>>740628718Okinawa definitely feels like a must-do.I'm planning on going back as well but doing Fukuoka, didn't get to see the south my first time..
>>740628172The only thing that changed since covid was the boom for VtubersFGO in 2017-2020 years was inescapable on sad panda and even stuff like GBF was getting some doujins back then. All I really miss was some of the more niche seasonal anime getting some doujins>>740628737Never let yourself become old and jaded
>>740628880Just check the popularity polls for Blue Saarchive, tranny-kun.
Women rights was a mistake. As long as everyone is too afraid to admit this, the birthrates will never recover.
>>740628783Sex tourism, they opened the majority of their brothels after covid, street walkers also appeared after covid trying to undercut the prices of the brothels and escorts, escorts sevices now target foreigners as well,
>>740613478>what a depressing shithole
Was in Japan recently and holy shit they have useless jobs. They have workforce shortage but there are so many jobs that are basically just fucking standing in one place for hours doing absolutely nothing.
>>740628804wdym? BA isn't that popular among indians.
>>740628718>Sapporothey have the best beer, but you don't have to go there to drink it lolidk, I personally dislike tokyo from a tourist perspectiveit is just a mess with too many tourists + too many people overallkyoto is terrible if you go to tourist places like gion, it is 0 japanese and all foreigners osaka is pretty nicekyoto is the best if you dodge all tourists and tourist locations and go to more local spotsI normally advise people to stay around Kobe, OsakaI've never been to Okinawa, I heard it is very nice though
>>740628878What’s wrong with Sapporo and any recommendations instead?>>740628904Should I just try and book my room as far away from any military bases as possible?
>>740628476Yeah but Europeans dont get anything doneWhen I worked in Germany and the Netherlands nobody did any work, it was literally a work when you feel like it culture. Just show up on the day and do whatever you canHorrible for someone like me who specifically has to check all the boxes because you just end up vilified by everyone
>>740628964>no U post!!And stay down, subhuman brown turdworlder.
>>740628974Asian women are unironically more feminist in the traditional sense than western women. In a marriage, the woman is the king of the house while the husband drinks himself to death and cope with whores because the wife rules him with an iron leash.
>>740628634>stagflationTechnically correct if you interpret the "flation" here as actually referring to deflation.>>740629005Are you Europoor? The Sharts have that too, like Walmart greeter or grocery packer.
>>740617378Yeah, an absolute motherfuckload of anime, manga, LN, VN and games. The population of people you can actually talk about them with is rapidly decreasing though. The products themselves aren't all there is, talking and arguing about them with people with the same interests is also very enjoyable.
>>740629101SAAAAR PLEASE REDEEM THE BLUE SHARTCHIVE NUMBERS
>>740629050It's a selfhating brownoid making shit up to cope.
>>740628835>Japan would rather go extinct that changeTheir country already changed, they became the disneyland of the world, and their female prime minister literally said she is planning to target 60 million foreign visitors for 2030 compared to the 43m record they had in 2025.Going extinct would have been going autarky or someshit, not becoming a toilet.
>>740614564Same, but I prefer Rio. I like her cold beauty look. And she has massive tots, I don’t like the wings on Hasumi.
>>740615232People bitch about the UK but I went for my honeymoon earlier this year and it was gorgeous. I'd move there from Pennsylvania in a heartbeat, particularly Ireland. Beautiful country.
>>740629106I know, both west and east are having a feminism problem, which of course stems from women rights.
>>740629058Following up this anon, Kobe is the best of the big 3 Kansai cities. Barely any tourists when I went and it felt a lot quieter.Kobe > Osaka > Kyoto
>>740629005My biggest problem right now. I have been NEET here for almost 2 years because I can't find a suitable job that isn't degrading. Still trying to finish my language course to finally get a decent job but it's hell.
>>740629252It's better than America, but not by much.
>>740629265Maybe I’ll do Kobe and Okinawa then
>>740619585>you don't get paid for overtime in japanYes you do you retard. You get paid extra, and the same goes for when you work on your days off.
>>740613756>A bunch of fat, sweaty, cringe nerds get to go to Japan and I get to work paycheck to paycheck just to stay on my small apartment I fucking hate life
>>740629110>Are you Europoor?Yes. But I think the japanese are on another level with that shit. Like there was a small toyota pickup on side of the street, unloading stuff to a construction site and there were FOUR people guiding traffic on a completely empty street. Two people to guide pedestrians to a fucking traffic cone path they had built for fucking emptying a pickup. And two with sticks to guide the "traffic" (not a single car in sight) with light sticks.
>>740614715>>740621606Based
>>740629058Tokyo is awful for tourism because it's just a massive concrete jungle and tons and tons of subway trips. Nara is amazing if not for tourists.
>>740614157I used to say this too, but as I get older, cargo shorts is just really convenient to use when you've got a lot of shit like your keys, wallet, phones, etc.
videogames...
>>740629341Are you a third worlder? japan is cheaper than ever and it becomes cheaper every year
>>740629321you ever went to Nara?it is a single day tripif you like animals, you can go see and also feed deers it is a cozy experience imoif you aren't a fan of animals disregard
>>740629279How do you afford that?
>>740629619Yeah when I was staying in Osaka I went for the day
>>740629619I almost got bit in the butt by a deer a few years ago. It was funny. It's nice to see them bow to ask for biscuits.
>>740629596True, but a trip to Japan when moot took this would've been like 1.5x more expensive than a similar trip to anywhere in Europe bar Switzerland.
>>740613478The country is INFESTED with jeets and muslims now.
>>740629341>doesn't have his own houseyeah ur fucked
>>740629596eating out in japan costs 6-10 usd for a nice meal hotel rooms cost around 60-80 usd per night it is way too cheap mostly due to the current exchange rate
>>740614157In turn girls should by default wear shorts, not this stupid skirt or baggy pants business.
>>740629664Got lucky with a gigastacy long suffering wife who funds my habits.I am still trying to help her out and repay her and not feel like shit but instead I'm on /v/. Hikki syndrome is so real and dangerous in japan.
Any resources I should look at, if I want to explore more rural/non-big city Japan?Not a fan of dense cities, although catching a baseball game over there might be fun. I really like the look of some of those onsens, and hotsprings. Spending a whole week at some old ass moldy one, just disconnected from social media, sounds like a heavenly time, if I fill the down time with taking pretty pictures of the surrounding sites, or visiting parks, hikes, and shrines.
>>740629307What the heck are you smoking? None of the British Isles are better than any part of America, save for ethnic crackhead row in some inner city.
>>740629760Yeah it's nuts. Got a hotel room for 3 nights in Osaka for 90€. Fucking crazy.
>>740629596What are you talking about? It's not cheap at all It costs a month's rent for a round trip and that's before hotel fees, transportation, and things like that. And that's only if you're sightseeing. It only gets more expensive the more things you plan on buying there.Not every person living in poverty can afford to do any of the actual fun stuff they have there. The people LIVING there can barely afford it.
>>740613708t. wuwajeet
>>740629836Not unless you read Japanese. These places aren't overrun by tourists specifically because Japanese knowledge acts as a gatekeeper.
is this the thread? Or are we getting a different one to complain about fest rolls later?
>>740629836>Spending a whole week at some old ass moldy oneare you sure you aren't just crazy?Japan experience changes vastly depending on how much Japanese you knowassuming you know some japanese and want to live like some Japanese instead of tourist go around Sendai, Iwate, Aomori Around Gunma is also ok
>>740615576I know zoomer coworkers that watch anime. They literally only watch basic power fantasy shit like solo leveling or the latest shonen slop (not older ones like Naruto). Something like Planetes, GTO, Initial D, Cromartie, Code Geass or even Steins Gate doesn't even exist to them.
>>740628021They make less merchandise than you think so they probably do more pop up shops
>>740629836You need to look at specific websites on what tours and festivals are available. My dream has always been to witness and join a sengoku era reenactment but it's hard to find. This july, the gion matsuri in kyoto happens where you can see men in samurai armor ride onhorses as well as giant shrine floats parade down the streets. On the other hand, the summer heat is going to be brutal.

>>740629252>particularly IrelandYou'd get sick of the weather. Also our housing crisis might be the worst in Europe so you wouldn't find anywhere cheap or nice, and it's only going to get worse.
>>740629736Japan did need some diversity tho. The problem is their government won't control it properly (like everywhere else). At least they've got a few more years to keep the economy going until japs are completely replaced by 7 brown babies per women.

>>740630091Death Stranding...
>>740630123That has always been the case for decades. Everyone assumes the average japanese person watches anime. There's a reason most seasonal anime airs at midnight. Barelt anybody is awake to watch that shit. That was the entire dynamic between Konata and Kagami. Konata was the strange weirdo and Kagami was the hard working normie who was barelt knowledgeable about geek culture. Everyone assumes the average nihonjin is like konata when they're a pitifully small chunk of society.

>>740630436Do NOT point this out...
>>740625056I'm going at the end of the month after 18+ years of waiting and multiple failed attempts. I'm just going to be a tourist and enjoy my time. If I ever go back I'll happily explore further afield and have BBQ spots and shit saved on my map out in the countryside. But I just want to fuck around in cool bars, eat nice food, buy a bunch of anime and vidya merch and go to festivals.

>>740629991we'll make one tomorrow
China minbroke japan. On the other hand, a part of me feels like this like the 90s and early 2000s with non-JP watching dubbed anime and thinking it was cartoons that came from their country. So much of chinese gacha is basically promoted using japan and with readily available japanese voice acting and never mind artstyle that I wonder if the zoomers who play these are even aware they are chinese in origin.
>>740628332>Why is the yen so weak?answer is very simplethe interest rates are too lowbut if they hike interest rates too much both global economy will suffer, and also domestic economy will sufferyou would then ask why is the japanese economy doing badthey are unproductive workers, small island nation that doesn't have enough workers to support their very elderly populationif they properly took immigrants like a decade ago they wouldn't have this problem

More immigration = lowering the worker value = will not save your retarded country.

I unironically go to brothels so I can just lay down and grope a girl while ranting how much I fucking hate tourists.
>>740628332They are just dumb and violent by nature. Among east asians, Japan is like a typical illegal immigrant. It’s no wonder that when it comes to actual peaceful works, they lose even in their own competitions

This is why you never let women have rights, because they either consciously or unconsciously direct civilization back to ruin. It's why they open the floodgates to the foreign hordes. They're trying their hardest to destroy civilization so that the men here either fight back the foreign hordes, establish their superiority, strip them of their rights, and treat them like property, OR the foreign hordes invade and win, establish their superiority, strip them of their rights, and treat them like property.Either way it ends with women being put back in their place. Whether it's by us or by the invaders. It is destined to happen, it can't not happen. Feminism DIRECTLY causes lower birthrates. Lower birthrates causes one of two things. Either mass immigration (from countries that breed aka non feminist countries), or the stripping of their rights to promote higher birthrates.Literally everything women do is a shit test to destabilize society to see how long the men will collectively put up with it. And it ends the same way. Either the men take their rights, or the men lose, and the winners take their rights.We realized this at the dawn of civilization and it's why they had no authority over anything ever.

Japan lost its magic to me long ago, it's just another part of this rapidly decaying world. I can't think of anything better today than it was in the 90s or 00s.

>>74063104140 hours a week of solid work is not “to the bone”, eurotrash.
>>740629993I'm probably crazy, too. But I don't think we really have access to hotsprings like that, in my section of the states. And the ones I do know of are built like gaudy resorts for rich people.We do have some rustic cold water springs, that are probably great in the Summer. But nothing seems to match these youtube vids I'm seeing of old Japanese inns and Jigoku onsens.I envy anyone who gets to visit those regularly.Spending a whole week at one doing absolutely nothing, but maybe seeing the sights, eating local food, and practicing photography sounds heavenly.>>740630023How does the Summer heat compared to Southern US?More humid, and worse wet-bulb? Festivals like that are awesome.A dream vacation for me would be spending a few days in a city like Hiroshima, visiting museums. Followed by an extended stay in the "country," just enjoying things at a much slower pace and relaxing.

>>740631114Wait, why did she just destroy that street? That's thousands to fix it.
>>740631084on this topic this is why nipponbashi is so niceshe's been up there since 2004
>>740631176>How does the Summer heat compared to Southern US?It's bad but less humid than Florida or Georgia. If you're from the south than it's perfectly manageable, just remember to stay hydrated and not push yourself too far.
>>740631176there are public baths that you can use that basically costs nothingthere are also public onsens that are basically that but with an onsenthey aren't like the cool resort like ones you see in anime usually you won't be allowed to 99% of publics baths or onsens with tattoos btw also summer heat in Japan is extremely humid and can get 100+ degrees

>>740631332I genuinely don't know why media outlets are bullying japan specifically about this when it's a fucking global pandemic because nobody these days wants to have children due to changing mindsets and way of life.
>>740630653>America: invented the cute (Disney) art style>Japan: perfected it and most importantly distributed it outside the kiddie Disney ghetto>Japan: invented the anime art style>China: ...Japan walked so China could run. Story as old as time.

>>740631380it is for polarizationjapan is the most liked country right nowso there is also just as much hatred towards it simply due to contrarianism
>>740613887>ChineseI think there might be a difference between Japs and Chinamen
>>740631380It has been happening for longer in japan and the numbers are even worse there.
>>740629341>these people are ugly so they deserve nothingOf course you hate your life with such a nasty personality.
>>740631380pure coincidence...........................
>>740631395Fun fact: The overwhelming majority of the current Japanese language learning population are from China. People talk about Chinese and Korean exports stealing Japanese thunder but in reality many people in China consume pirated Japanese content as their main form of entertainment, particularly anime and television shows.

>>740630436why should they be?they're just e-celebs. you wouldn't separate twitch streamer doujins by the company they work for, right? it's all the same shit.
how to learn japanese? potentially, very fast
>>740631296Its also pretty run down these days. I wish I could have seen it circa 2010 in its heyday.
>>740631553that explains why there are so many chinese tourists
Really amazing that Japan has managed to culturally conquer both China and SK that their biggest exports are anime-themed.
>>740631619the first step is accepting that you won't
>>740629836look into Seishun 18 tickets for travel to random townsalso for onsen Oita prefecture is super rural but at the same time a huge vacation spot for japanese people who like onsen. Most people go to Yufuin or Beppu
>>740631380Because other countries import labor to deal with it, japan doesn't while their economy goes down the toilet
which konbini is best?7/11familymartlawson
>>740631597Spain stuck in their 2 billion deficit while Ireland is 700 million in the black is so humiliating on such a deep level. Can people in America even understand why this is embarrassing?
>>740631706also my japanese friend said to avoid kusatsu onsen since it's filled with chinese people but I have no idea if it's different since the CCP told everyone to get out of japan

>>740616490Grim as a fuck
>>740631674...and Japan got culturally conquered by the west.
>>740631674Really amazing japan managed to lose the grip on those cultural exports and now china and korea get rich from that cultural export while japan keep getting shit on by tourists of those exports, amazing isn't it?
>>740630757Third worlder discovers seasons.
>>740616490This is fake you fucking retardsThe whole board is full of dunces, at this point anyone posting webms should be given a permanent ban
>>740631883yes, please give me all famichikin you haveyesthe clerk was quite surprised but I had to do it
>>740631731I don't go into 7/11s much but lawson has good deli meats, bread and more varied offerings by the cashier counter. They sometimes have pizza, donuts, sausages and so on.Famima is more convenient but nothing special. Famichiki is overrated.For me personally it's daily yamazaki because they have nice sausages and always has a nice stock of frozen fried rice.
>>740631945besides the people that are behind the development of these games, what is chinese or korean about anime games? what chinese or korean cultures are being shown through anime? what would happen if you took anime from these chinese/koreans products? would people still get interested in them?
>>740632012>at this point anyone posting webms should be given a permanent banEven me?
>>740632026For me, it's not even the Famichikin, it's the little thigh skewers and the overall quality of their bentos7/11 had the second best but the Lawsons I went to were kinda weak
>>740632094nice sandwiches I mean.

>>740631731former residentlawsons had the most energy drinks usually so I went there more their special food counter with the oyakodon and random other 700 yenish food items were also betterand their uniforms are sex
>>740632094>daily yamazakithat one is giga niche, hard to find
>>740631553Well yes there's like 1.5 BILLION Chinese so they'll be the most of anything.
>>740631945The video caption says:"We're America, now!"So you are correct. >>740632158
>>740632210why did you leave Japan anonJapan misses you
>>740632250That goes without saying. Look at steam. Most people buying shit on steam are chinks.
>>740631634it's still nice and I'm happy that tourists and con cafes haven't taken it over for the most partwhich leads me to another rant which is foreigners thinking that con cafes are maid cafesdo not give con cafes money they are a waste of space
>>740632130I pointed out is not the win you think it is, china and korea are hijacking their culture and reaping all the economic benefits while japan reap the "cultural" benefits, which also includes getting their country raped by tourism, meanwhle the chinks and koreans keep the weebs off the fence.
>>740630436To be fair almost all of it is hololive and nijisanji, even if you divided them they would still end up in the top 5.
>>740632210For whatever reason whenever I went to a Lawson they never had Boss au lait, but 7/11 and Famimart did
>>740632158i was at kadena afb in 2014 and every other weekend we would be on lockdown because some marine decided to rape some local
>>740630771That's a cute picture.
>>740632130Nta but you are correct. I'm the kyoto anon but It's hilarious how you see droves of chinese tourists visit hobby stores to buy merch of chinese gacha. China and korea might be making money, but they are still putting japanese culture on a pedestal in the process. It's kinda like how the romans venerated the greeks enough to ape their culture I guess.
>>740631380Because Japan had Abe warning them, he got assassinated, and the country is actually past the point of no return now. No matter what happens tomorrow, ethnic Japanese will cease to exist in about 60 years.
I'm the opposite. I want to travel europe these days for a change. What country is a nice place to just walk around and see european architecture and historical sites?
>>740632269I went there for collegeI am probably going back since the job market in burgerland is worse than just english teaching with JETanyways if anyone is going I would advise getting involved with subcultures rather than expecting to make japanese friends by chance, otaku are more likely to treat you well than random normalfags anyways
>>740613478here was the ad for a certain assassin's creed in japan. notice anything?
>>740632345>Reaping the economic benefitsso they can go buy japanese games? you know which country is the largest consumer of japanese games in asia, right zhang?
>>740632525just go on a japanese trip in europe anon
>>740632546you knew japanese?
>>740632586N3, but talking about anime and games in japanese is easy anyways
>>740632546>I would advise getting involved with subcultures rather than expecting to make japanese friends by chanceThis is good life advice in general, not just for Japan. It's a lot easier to meet new people if you share common interests.
>>740632563I honestly wonder if that's why Wo Long is even getting a sequel.
>>740632563They are buying so many games and consuming so much japanese culture their economy keeps going down the toilet lol
>>740632498He got assassinated for being associated with some weird cult that was stealing money
>>740632694China is still the largest consumer of japanese culture in Asia.
>>740632758*in the worldsee >>740632250
>>740632586I realize now that you meant for collegethere are colleges in japan with english courses
>>740632758You know understand why they decide to hijack anime games as a medium
>>740631084That’s a literal remnant. Not some kernel of vitality still clinging on, some new sign put up 2 years ago, it was put up 25 years ago and not taken down yet.
>>740632839How did you come to study there in the first place and how long have you been awayDo you still speak to any of your japanese friends
>>740632839how hard is it to find yourself an apartment as foreigner?uni accoms are pretty shitty I assume?
>China's most relevant cultural export is a fucking japanese-styled in artwork, game design and even MTX product.
>>740632949CHINA'S CULTURE IS BEING BOOTLEG JAPANKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>740632949China isn't a real country. >>740631084This picture makes me feel things that I don't want to feel.
>>740632949Being so butthurt you stopped replying because you can't cope with the fact japan had their media hijacked by chinks and koreansZoomer weebs are specially more braindead than the millenial weebs from 20 years ago that could actually defend japan.
>>740633081true, taiwan is the real china
>>740632932Horrible. You either make do with google translate or get help with another japanese person who can help you out. But there are middlemen companies who exist for this kind of thing because direct inquiries are a nightmare especially with how much paperwork is involved and all of that is in kana and kanji.
>>740615232Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto are just nuked.But anythinng even just a few kilometers away from those craters are still mostly run by Japanese.Nagoya was surprisingly good, and had huge cosplay events.
>>740630925https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfEShDragNc
>>740633083>Zoomer weebsDon't really exist because everything is so mainstream that it's not a niche interest any more. It's like saying you're a fan of breathing. Japan had a total cultural victory at the cost of its soul.
>>740633115how did you do? first stay in uni accom or try to find a place from the getgo?
>>740632932I didn't have any problems, although the real estate agency I went through was recommended by the college>>740632894because I have fuck all to do outside in the states so I just applied. 4 years until I graduated, yes.
>>740632932You're not gonna rough it out? Not gonna make it
>>740633212>muh soulOk gramps lets get you to bedI just went and it was great
>>740633212People going to japan and soijacking over anything japanese are the new weebs>buying some cocacola :/>buying some cocacola (japan) :O
>>740630653So where the doujins for Chinese games miss Sparxicle
>>740633115>paperworkJust take a photo of the documents and tell an AI to translate.
>>740632563China is so fucking devoid of soft power, makes me wonder if the CCP really regrets letting the anime scene grow in the mainland because it can be potentially get out of control from their hands to the point they are gonna start skinwalking Japan.Combine with the chink zoomer populace getting a generational burnout to the point they are dropping like flies and probably growing even more resentful of their own government. Who the fuck knows, they might take anime, which is inherently japanese, and use it as a symbol of rebellion.
>>740633330SHUT UPPPPPPPPP
If you come to Japan now you should really just travel to Kyushu or Shikoku and rent a car to get around
>>740632949I'm pretty sure their largest cultural export is Tik Tok.
>>740633323Why did you cut off the video at the part right before it becomes obvious WHY he's excited? Because it goes against the agenda?
This was China's equivalent of a naked dogeza, btw.
>>740633323A card to exclusively get a coke from a vending machine seems like the kind of excessive Japanese people like
>>740619194Such a soulful pic
>>740633449Driving a motorcycle around the Japanese coast would be a dream.
>>740633478That's a thoroughly American app.
Why have so many /v/irgins been to Japan recently?
>>740633513qrd?
>>740633590We are all visiting before the country falls foreverIts sad but it is what it is
>>740633574Japan is cheaper to visit than at any point in history and it gets cheaper each year, see >>740632694That combined with being more weebs right now than at any other point in modern history, so yeah.
>>740633220I got help from an acquaintance who did the job of talking over the phone to set me up with an appointment with an agency. After the file work is done at their office, they will set you up with a tour of your desired apartment room to see if it's to your liking. I had to then contact a moving company to help with my stuff because at the time I was living in a company dormitory.

>>740633832>Collab picture commissioned by the HSR devs to "make amends" with japs after the whole Taiwan debacle....Explain?
>>740633832>to "make amends" with japs after the whole Taiwan debacle.I'm a hsr fag but I don't ever remember that being a thing. Sparxie also got collab picture with miku.Sparxie in general was just heavily marketed for japan. It's more like amends for the whole censorship of planarcadia than whatever politics was going on with china and japan at the time.
>>740633554slothful*
>>740633590I have a sibling who bought a condo in Tokyo for $3 million USDI didn't even know properties could get that expensive there
>>740633832HSR often does marketing with JP franchises. Castorice with Frieren for example
>>740634083And Fate
>>740624347This.When I went to Japan in 2008, no one knew about Facebook. There were no functional translation services. No one spoke English. Everyone had native flipphones, with TV antennas and 3D screens. Online they hung out on Mixi miniblogs. They lived completely separate lives from the rest of the globalized world.And then they got Facebook, Justin Bieber, Twilight, iPhones, etc. and little by little they just blobbed into the global trashpile. And then they begun mass-importation of cheap migrant labor.Now you can't even find a store in Tokyo operated by an actual Japanese person. All coffee shops, all 7-11s, all clothes shops... all run by immigrants who don't speak Japanese OR English.>Owarida.png
>>740633726Interesting, I wonder of there's been pushback with overtourism there recently. I know Spain and Portugal have been pushing back for a while.
>>740633590One of my friends went on a trip there at the end of last summer because the yen being weak makes it very affordable
>>740634140>Now you can't even find a store in Tokyo operated by an actual Japanese person. All coffee shops, all 7-11s, all clothes shops... all run by immigrants who don't speak Japanese OR English.Not true in the slightest.
>>740619781Maybe. BA is on its way out but only dying 40-year olds like 2hu so hard to say.
>>740633362>China is so fucking devoid of soft powerthat tends to happen when you forcibly shut down people that try to be creative

>>740634076>siblingI don’t think sexless slugs are humans bro, it’s an impostor alien parasite you need to kill with fire.
>tops comiket>is on its way out!!lmfao the sour grapes
>>740633980And funnily enough, Sparxie bombed in china but was most popular in japan. Chinks knew what was up but most japs just think she was funny and quirky.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdUoc-nSB94It's funny how completely naive and just carefree japs are about drama. It's like that meme image where japan lives rentfree inside china's head but japan doesn't even think about china. This is why japanese social sites are so comfy sometimes. They are barely aware of sociopolitical drama that's happening around them.
>>740634140>All coffee shops, all 7-11s, all clothes shops... all run by immigrants who don't speak Japanese OR English.Nah, a decent number of 7/11s are still staffed by Japanese people.And in Osaka there were barely any foreign employees there.
>>740634125Well that’s a full on collab, and it’s the only gacha collab I’ve seen that’s lasting indefinitely. I assume there’s some splitting of that revenue beyond the typical collab going on there
>>740634149They literally voted for a female prime minister that is aiming to increase tourism even more so no, they dont like tourists but they are too cucked to realize it.
>>740634149>I know Spain and Portugal have been pushing back for a while.if thats true then they are extremely stupid, their entire economies collapse without tourism, especially spaini mean lets be honest what is spain doing for europe, much less the rest of the worldtheyre shunned by the european union because they produce nothing of value
>>740614401It sounds like you enjoy going through old photos

>>740632130you're a fucking idiot if you think china/korea making billions is an epic win for japan
>>740634260The game barely charts on japanese app stores anymore.BA is mostly carried by its own fanbase, shilled by Nexon or not.
how much moon do i need if i want to stay at a ryokan? i see lots of videos where they explain the dinner menu and stuff, and at my current level, all of that would be unintelligible to me

The only reason someone would still be making that much past their first year or two of working is because they don't want to make more.
>>740634375>you're a fucking idiot if you think china/korea making billions is an epic win for japanA chunk of those billions are spent in Japan to promote their products there.China and SK are the biggest consumers of japanese culture, by the way.

>>740634468Don't expect help from staff, however everything be written in English. Worst case scenario you could use MTL, a better idea is just immersing moar you dekinai.
>>740634382So you mean brown dust is more popular than 2hu gacha because it gets more money?
>>740634267HSR becoming more beholden to the JP players would be a good thing btw, since they aren’t as obsessed with meta as CNI can almost guarantee CN said she was a skip since she didn’t powercreep Castorice, meanwhile JP rolled because she was cute and sexy
>>740634525>They have. If you have the skills considered desirable and are willing to learn the language, you can go from fresh off the boat to permanent residency in 1-3 years.Before the thread dies, where can I learn more about this process?
>>740634559that goes for most things desu. Japan is very hospitable but don't expect them to go all the way because they're people too and even english speakers have their limits.
>>740634204>>740634269You retards just don't recognize philips, nepalesi, malay, etc. and you're so bad at nippongo that you don't notice how bad they are.There are literally no jap staff in any conbini in Tokyo or Osaka. None. I was there for a month last year. Didn't see a single jap staff worker in any of them.
>>740634539The words brother and sister exist bro

>>740634701I feel so fucking bad for zoomers groomed by /pol/ to grow up like this. I mean it's just sad.
>>740634530I saw a chart that showed CHina being the biggest spenders of japanese media.Fuck, wish I didnt delete it. But yeah, some of that money comes back to japanese wallets.
>>740634697You were unlucky, then. So what? But you're saying dumb exaggerated shit like "ALL TAKEN OVER BY FOREIGNERS".Oh wah wah, I didn't see any 日本人 at the Hello Kitty Snack Shack! Yeah, ok bub.
https://pixiv.navirank.com/tagrank/2026/BA's closest competitors are all years oldIt's not going away until something new explodes in popularity the way kancolle and kemono friends did
>>740634786>>740634697In fact I have a rule where if I see a shitskin at the counter I immediately walk out. I refuse to support these establishments.
>>740634786Yes it is. Have you been there recently?It happened extremely fast.
>>740632130>Koreanerm.. Solo Levelling (animated by Japanese) (((((kek)))))
>>740634697I've lived in Tokyo for almost 15 years now and outside of places like Shibuya or Roppongi, 90% of convini staff are still quite Japanese with the occasional Chinese student mixed in.
>>740634720Thank you!
>>740634884Which is why I said for the most part but not every konbini in kyoto has immigrants working there.
>>740629252And get thrown in prison for getting caught with a pocket knife or saying mean words on X?Fuck. That. Shit. Fucking Missouri looks like Ireland, I'll be fine.
>>740634942In fact there's a cute staff worker named ueda-san who works late at night at a famima and who looks like a chubbier version of K-son. I get to touch her hand sometimes whenever she gives me change.
>>740634869Sadly no other franchise these days panders to the otaku mind as hard as BA, except 2hu I guess. Um and idolmaster are pretty close I guess.
>>740635027cashier*Don't know why I typed it like that.
>>740632949That's not fun because they're parasiting japanese soft power and some fags already can't tell the difference between chinese and japanese anime girls.
>>740634913You should take a look out the window, m8I went to Shibuya, Ueno, Waseda, Yoyogi, Shinjuku, Akiba, Big Sight, Yokohama, etc. Not ONCE did I see a Japanese person behind the counter at any conbini.
>>740635204In many cases, the characters are designed by japanese artists anyway. Chinks are just good at business.
>>740635204Weeb character designs are indistinguishable to be honest
>>740635204A good chunk of them are employing JP artists in the first place
>>740635271No one believes your nonsense, stop trolling.
>>740635382When did you last go?Because this was last year, and before that my last trip was in 2023. In 2023, almost all stores were still run by Japanese, so this has happened insanely fast.
Before the thread dies, my biggest consolation is that I have not once ever seen a japanese girl with a shitskin in all my 5 years here. Japanese girls would rather become lesbians and stay single than marry non-japanese.
>>740635597That'll all be changing soon :)Japan is looking at the model of the UK
>>740635597They go crazy for white men though.
>>740635204On the plus side it makes it much easier to avoid those idiots, like ones that watch vtubers. It's difficult to find like-minded people online these days so anything people due to immediately identify themselves as different from me is beneficial.
Don't know what it was about that one. Maybe because /v/'s filled with Korean shill bots this week.Anyway China and china through Korea is stealing Japan's influence with a cultural man-in-the-middle attack. A always with them "good business" means cheating harder.
>>740635597>all my 5 years hereTypical "everyone else is the problem, I'm special" person that contributes to Japan's decline. There will be millions of you that are all exceptions to the rule and not one will accept that they are outsiders on an island that didn't want them.
>>740635031It makes me mad that BA refuses to release breedable JKs like Kazusa, most are little children and the remaining rest hags or hag stand-ins.
how come no one accuses japan of stealing western culture when they make things like resident evil and elden ring
>>740635597When I was in the Navy, we stopped in Sasebo for a few days, and I was in town with one of the guys in my shop (a tall bald black dude), and you'd have thought Chewbacca or bigfoot was walking around with the reactions he was getting. Like in a "what the fuck is that?" kind of way. This has been almost 20 years ago now though, back when blacks were still just a rare novelty in Japan, not a nightmarish invasive fauna nuisance.
>>740635881Feels like FGO and ZZZ have all the best JKsHags are a dime a dozen these days
>>740635783I didn't marry a japanese girl either.>>740635639Most white folks I see on the streets have also white partners. The only women I see with black people are white women. Indians and other south asians have indian wives. I don't see any kawaii 20 something girls with non-asians. Most girls I see with boyfriends like that are also japanese or east asian, usually kpop style boys.
>>740635890This thread was full of weebs if you couldn't tell
>>740635890Because shut up..
>>740633323Wtf where is is that and why? I've been to a lot of Lawson's and 7/11s and never saw that anywhere.
>>740636047I think it was for a promotion where you would get a little toy or gachapon with your coke bottle.I saw it in vending machines but never in a conbini, the cokes were in the fridge along with the rest of the cold drinks.
>>740635890Japan is in a position of weakness and that does change everything. Protecting the weak is the christian way.
