0001maji2008/06/28(Sat) 02:48:24ID:dABlJWLl0 I want to know what Japanese people think of the growing population of western otaku. Also, if any Japanese Otaku want to know how western otaku act, feel free to ask.
0084maji2008/07/01(Tue) 14:56:03ID:Gwk2cSof0>>83 Ok, what I meant was that they absolutely don't care about it. Also, I'm not talking about teenagers, I'm talking about people in their twenties or beyond. Teenagers might know a little more about anime or whatever, but I don't think there's been any real change in its reputation. Kids might be earnestly interested in high school, but they'll snap out of it once they get to college and lose their affected "outsider" facades. 0085maji2008/07/01(Tue) 15:04:54ID:aXPoa7Bq0>>84 I'm talking about people in their twenties or beyond. The people who I live and work with every single day of my life still think like this in their 20s and beyond. College and dorm life may as well be 13th grade boarding school. That's what I meant when I said "Adolescence may as well end at 30 nowadays" Maybe things are different where ever you live. 0086maji2008/07/01(Tue) 15:28:50ID:Gwk2cSof0>>85 Yeah, maybe you're right. I am talking as a person who is vaguely interested in Japan but has no interest in anime whatsoever.
We're really talking about different degrees of the same response. My peers are definitely adolescent; I live in fucking Williamsburg, Brooklyn. :/
Then again... narcissism of small differences and all. 0087maji2008/07/02(Wed) 00:04:45ID:0DL43EXO0 Korean pussy tastes like stinky rotten kimchi. 0088maji2008/07/02(Wed) 05:44:32ID:MylWMOo10 BlackMonkey http://movie.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/1f0/4AFBEZQaTlw/1

And the majority of people in america aren't aware of japanese carttons being referred to as anime. Pokemon, yes, but that's about it.
Everyone in high school or college can define "anime" though. Either way, go outside. 0092Reimu2008/07/02(Wed) 12:40:37ID:835TnA2r0 Either way, take it easy. 0093maji2008/07/02(Wed) 14:12:15ID:syi+HlSW0 You must never show your true nature.
"'Death Note'? What's that? "Oh, I see. It's one of those Japanese comic books."

Do Japanese or Chinese and you're a fetishist with the yellow fever. 0103maji2008/07/03(Thu) 18:31:52ID:8T7G1lTd0 Hi, western otakus. I happened to watch "Ninja Scroll" a few days ago on NicoNico. I found it amazing. Its animations, especially the battle scenes, were really awesome! Wikipedia says it is far more popular in America than in Japan. It seems American otakus have really good taste! I should have watched it earlier. 0104maji2008/07/03(Thu) 18:36:24ID:gVnyal9L0>>103 You're not even trying. 0105maji2008/07/03(Thu) 18:44:48ID:8T7G1lTd0>>104 What do you mean? 0106maji2008/07/03(Thu) 18:50:58ID:gVnyal9L0 Just stop posting in the thread, faggot. 0107maji2008/07/03(Thu) 18:54:21ID:8T7G1lTd0>>106 Why?

That's just what we fucking need, all the fat yaoi fangirls uploading their shitty Naruto AMVs and commenting with their retarded "XD"s and "Kawaii~!"s and hackneyed 4chan memes.
That was where I escaped all the Youtube nonsense. The language barrier was my only line of defense from the idiots on the internet. 0125maji2008/07/05(Sat) 08:08:21ID:lolKWlc20>>121 The difference is that I'm not a faggot.

I also do not go outside often since I'm a unemployed and don't care about the so called real life. But calling me an otaku is a bit of a stretch.

People are always talking about the negative connotations the word 'otaku' has in japan, but when I went there, people didn't seem like that at all. For the start I tried not to bring up my interests with Japanese people I had met, but they always ended up bringing it up, Since I'd end up staring at any anime related shop we walked past. But rather than being put off by it, they seemed more curious, like how much interest people in different countries took to Japanese anime. I think Japanese people who dislike Japanese otaku will dislike western otaku as well, and Japanese people who dislike westerners will dislike western otaku, but other than those people, western otaku seemed to be viewed with curiosity and wonderment, considering Japan is actually a rather closed off country and don't really see the overall effect that the supposed subculture 'otaku' has taken overseas. 0170maji2009/07/04(Sat) 20:30:52ID:Iq2tPdmH0 Ain't that deep.
