This isn't /a/. Most of us at least know some kanji and will give translations a go if only to practise, so I don't think that's fair at all.

>Books and documentaries and what have you won't be presenting the ideas in a humorous format. Humor is a kind of "ah-hah!", an insight, into which you gain new understanding about something and it creates a sense of alleviation, a sense of lightness and defiance of gravity.

Holy shit, give me a break. Your ridiculously florid description could easily be applied to any of the things I mentioned - books, films, articles, and documentaries. These are also infinitely more objective in their delivery because they are about interpreting and understanding what you see on many more levels than simple laughing on cue now and then in comedy.

Even then, that isn't to say these mediums CANNOT cover the subject with humour IF they so choose.

Again, bullshit. I'd give you that books maybe don't usually reach a mass auidence, but are you really trying to tell me stand-up comedy is more popular and more relevant than cinema? Just look at where the money is, for Christ's sake. You still haven't given me any names of comedians, I'm sure if you did I could point out the many billions that are spent on the filmic industry and that comedians get nowhere even close to this, often playing to small venues with limited television converage.

naw I'm staying and only because you all spam this get out of /jp/ shit instead of ignoring.

Are Chinese and Japanese languages similar ?
