/jp/ - Otaku Culture

why is my マラ several skin tones darker than my natural skin color?

playing visual novel on nintendo switch and i have a new technique for making cards faster. paid app called yomiwa which has a camera for recognizing kanji in a sentence. they have an option to copy all the text within the picture which i can quickly paste into the evernote app.

no problems with the app recognizing all the words in a sentence ever since i made the background behind the text dark in the settings

A friend of mine learned Spanish mostly with just input from Spanish telenovelas. But he started young. Don't know why he watched all that shit honestly...

Got a culture-related question. I've been reading into The Hakkenden: Legend of the Dog Soldiers, and I've noticed the eight brothers all have three names, like Inukawa Sosuke Yoshito. In my experience, Japanese only use two names, the family and given name. So how/why do these guys have a third name and what's its relevance?

i joined this jap chat and this jap was at first nice to me and then he sperged out about me getting a jap teacher because i didn't use keigo with him on internet chat

are they autistic? i thought chat was enough of a casual place not to use that shit

>>22670721
It says one month, but should I be capable of beginning reading things like yotsuba a week or so earlier?
I don't wanna go overboard with the amount of cards I do so am restricting to the 20 new a day despite feeling I can do more, but really enjoy doing them and wanna add more things like reading as soon as possible.

>>22670728
are american walls really so thin and weak that you can stick pins through them lol?

feeling like going off the deep end in bros, how do i cut off contact from all people

i dont fuck w/ anyone and doing so would help my immersion anyway

>>22670808
you don't know the difference between studs and drywall?

>>22670809
Sounds like a good way to fall into depression which will manifest as a feeling of "eh I'm not motivated to learn japanese today"

How do you go about looking up words and kanji that you find in physical manga, digital manga without selectable text and vn's?

>>22670821
i dont learn i acquire

>>22670821
i cut connections and pretty much made huge gains in 3 years

>>22670822
For digital manga use an ocr program like kanjitomo, for physical use radical lookup or if there's furigana just type the furigana into your Google IME keyboard

>>22670828
>made huge gains in 3 years
then why are you still here

>>22670847
gonna deflect that question back to q and j and my core2k6 bros from 2017

>>22670853
so you're horribly depressed and cut off all social contact and now try to supplement that by hanging out with us? maybe just join a local group or something, there's apps like meetup nowadays

>>22670863
>maybe just join a local group or something, there's apps like meetup nowadays
why would i want that

I used to be making big gains in all aspects of life mental and physical when I suddenly had extreme motivation and ambitions fueled by anger and sadness from being alone for so long. After a year of this I had so much gains I magically got friends and a gf and then completely forgot about my ambitions and lost motivation as anger and sadness turned to happiness and I became a pseudo-normie.

As long as you have the drive and aren't a lazy sack of shit isolation could work, but you'll probably burn out and off yourself if you go for too long. If I didn't somehow stumble upon happiness or calmed down and enjoyed my life browsing the web and playing games I'd say there would only be another year before my muscular big brain body was found hanging from a rope.

I started learning Japanese when I was into anime and Japanese media in general, now I'm not as interested in this stuff as I used to be
but I still kinda enjoy the grind and the sense of accomplishment in learning nihongo, kinda depressing knowing that this is all useless in the end

>>22671717
another classic example of why u should watch 10000 hours of eng subbed anime before u even think about learning nihongo

haven't you guys ever felt something like "man, i'm never gonna watch something as good as logh or the first two seasons of yuru yuri"?
i know that flashcarding and learning japanese (or any other language) for normalfag pursuits like muh nihonjin gf and "tomodatis" is gay and bluepilled, but sometimes i wonder if i'm ever gonna feel the way i did with these previously mentioned masterpieces.
this is not even a japanese-learning related reflection. this is just pure r9ksy feels by a guy who used to love anime he watched a long time ago, and still does, but doesn't feel as excited about stuff he watches now.

>>22671895
*takes a fat steaming dump in ur coffee mug*

wait, i take all of that back.
i read subahibi this year and was totally immersed in it.
i think i can still be excited about stuff, but it probably needs to happen at the right moment.

>>22671909
i don't drink coffee nor do i own coffee mugs

>>22671806
pretty sure I passed this point many years ago

>>22670887
I actually just have no clue what I am looking at but I don't really care either. I'm effectively on my 3rd day of learning to code as I started from scratch.

>>22671974
>people grow out of this weeb shit at some point
probably not.
if you've watched 20 to 50 anime, or just kinda generally like anime and odd japanese stuff but not for any particular reason, and have always had several side interests, i can see that being possible, but if you've gotten so deep into otaku culture that you've ended up twisting your mind around how only anime, manga, etc. can even be entertaining, and wrap it together with a schopenhauerian-platonist doomer view on how reality is imperfect and only worth existing for the sake of pure ideas present only in fiction, then it becomes impossible to ever escape otakuism.

>>22671996
and what were they this and last year? cause all i saw was a lot of doodoo

last year they were hinamatsuri and high score girl

>>22672053
there was a long time when I consumed only manga and anime and nothing else though. I still can't play western video games or watch american TV. Maybe I need to go back

i had a weird dream that my computer was infected with multiple viruses / being hacked and since i dont know computers like that my only way of fighting back was by aggressively clicking anything i didnt reconsigned in the task manager

its good that u can always pull a karbin and start from scratch if u realize ur learning path doesnt sound impressive enough

I had two dreams actually, the first one I actually dreamed about coding but it wasn't anything specific just random crap and I forgot what the second dream was but it was pretty normal and the kind I have often.

ever have a dream so good you end up attempting suicide because it will never be real?

>>22672123

>>22672114
even when i had sunk deepest into anime watching and manga reading, i never really stopped watching american movies with my family, and cringing at how awful american acting/humor is.
i sometimes snoop around on youtube or boards like /tv/ and /v/ to see what kind of stuff people like, and i always feel glad because i'm not into that sort of shit.

>>22670029
why yes actually

>>22672157
No but I think it's because I reject the idea of suicide altogether. However I have had dreams that left me seriously beaten down, one dream I had recently after finishing Demonbane (and it left a mark on me because I still remember it) was that I actually had a computer girl companion like アル but due to me messing up a computation and hooking into a machine wrong (it was some stupid shit about trying to calculate something using her) she broke/died and the dream ended with me holding her dead body in my arms.

>>22672050
>I'm effectively on my 3rd day of learning to code as I started from scratch.
you literally took coding classes
it's like those miafags who always keep moving up the date of when they "started to learn japanese" just because they changed their method

>>22672185
Well I did but that's 2 years ago and I forgot it all, not to mention I only learned so much that I managed to do well on the classes and nothing beyond that. In the previous 2 days I covered as much material as the coding classes did in 2 months. Not to mention we didn't do Python but Racket and Java.

Oh and I'm not trying to say I didn't know any Python before I did this but what I learned so far was really a loose mess which was only to address very specific things and whenever I did something I just glued and googled shit together haphazardly until it worked. I am now actually going about gaining programming knowledge in a structured manner.

>>22672254
>whenever I did something I just glued and googled shit together haphazardly until it worked.
u were on the right path

>>22672168

>>22672315
get some new pictures or i'll knock you the fuck out retard

>>22672289
Not really. Maybe it is if you are constantly coding constantly making things but I just lack a shit ton of knowledge and it was always frustrating. Systematically going about understanding everything and remembering all the basics I need feels really productive and I have already found ways to do things I had no clue about previously. After getting my reviews done today I will keep going through the book, I have reached the part that addresses classes so I will only be learning new things from here on out.

why does japanese have 20 words for mom

thats every language you aho

>>22672406
The fact that he's has had 4 or 5 miku posters but claims to have never liked miku is so lame. I will love miku til my dying day

>>22672461
why does it have a lot of words for the first person you meet, talk to, and spend the first few years of your life hanging out with exclusively?

>>22672461
but there's like over 10 words / phases in english for "mom"

>>22672461

can't do it except maybe joke words no one ever really uses whereas people use like 4 words for mom regularly in japanese

I'm halfway through a book and I've been doing great, understanding everything, but now I hit a scene where it all seem like pointless drivel that goes nowhere, like it's using a lot of words to say nothing, and I feel lost. Then I realized it's the first scene in the whole book where two women are talking to each other. lmao

this "misreading a few words means you cant read at all" bait is getting stale. his level is probably not as high as he thinks but this is also dumb.

great the animecards site wasnt enough for qm

every time you flip over a flashcard one of your neurons goes dark which is why 暗記 has 暗 in it

I don't really care what you think my Japanese level is. My comprehensions is everything I wished for when I started learning and thanks to good cards I spend less than 10 minutes per day on them while now just consuming Japanese when I want to. I say do anime cards/sentence on the back card with my reviewing rules because I want the best for you and legitimately think sentence cards are worse and less efficient for the reasons I detail on my site. Go free to go against what I say lol but why do you feel so adamant to have to constantly voice your disapproval with me. --Insert the Streamable of matt nearly crying over people trying to get him to approve of them doing something else--

>>22673283
i know japanese i just ""misread"" really basic shit hehe

There's already a clear winner for 2020. Pic very related.

Jokes aside, I have been trying to get people read Eizouken since about 2017 when I noticed the manga thanks to it winning a mention in Cinema Bros magazine. Mostly unsuccessfully so now with the anime coming soon I hope people will finally pay attention to it.

definitely agree with this, i liked the imouto arc better than the haruhi lite, futaba and idol swap arcs, and the first one was definitely the best part of the show
also the last episode was atrocious, half of it was recap and the actual interesting parts like the real imouto meeting mai or reading her diary were relegated to the ED
overall a pretty decent show though when you consider the kind of shit that gets made these days

>>22673689

I agree with Paul Skallas that American culture has been stuck for the past 15 years, but I think the same thing applies to anime. The only "new" thing is isekai, which is just a new setting for the same anime we've all seen 8 million times. It's like Clannad, Haruhi, & K-On stopped being an instance of the medium and became the medium. In 20 years, anime will have realized this and become completely different, or just be straight up emotional pornography.

>>22673755
Don't want to talk about it.

maybe japanese have longer attention spans than your goldfish brain. there are lots of visual novels that are longer than the bible.

>>22673960
i think i like it

>>22674009
thats unrelated to the fact that there are disproportionately more visual novels of immense length than other things like books or tv shows or games. i htink there's something to it. not saying its good or bad but it is what it is

will i be fluent after finishing the longest vn

>>22674023
not even close but maybe if you mine a lot you'll at least be super comfortable with reading

>>22674033
*on condition that you make it comprehensible and enjoy it
for got to append those conditions

you fags made me curious about whats the longest vn
vndb only shows >50 hours so that wont cut

>>22674045
but that is assuming a normal reading speed
it's probably going to take you at least twice as long

I just realized after coming from Japan that I haven't been using counters correctly when ordering at resturants (I'd say shit like チキンカツカレーふたつお願いします)

https://gamicus.gamepedia.com/List_of_longest_video_game_scripts#Video_games

this page is interesting

you aren't gonna be fluent after one of anything no matter how long it is

is a vn considered "finished" once you read every available route? or just one?

once i anal creampie a girl i can die happy

>>22674078
wtf can i load back already

you already made the choice long ago that flagged you for bad end you just dont realize it

>>22674081
i usually stop after one cause it's mendokusai to try for the others

>>22674081
whenever you feel like it. i stopped reading eustia after a certain part and i feel like basically that was good enoguh part to stop reading at

>>22674122
consider using an anki addon like rep-retire which will suspend cards automatically after a certain time

a vn is only compete once you play all routes
>bad ends dont count since that means you failed

lmfao

>>22674159
very easily

>>22674222
it's usually conjugated so i almost always guess the reading correctly i just literally don't know the difference between the two words

amazing character design

you can have fun with japanese ambiguous readings. instead of making it an autistic computer algorithm solution to determine the ""correct"" reading just let it flow naturally. i mean for alternate readings not doing a matt or quizmaster and reading words wrong all together like hayai and kantei

>>22674264
lmfao

>>22674264
next time just say youre too lazy to google

>>22674264
alternative readings often have a different meaning though

>>22674264
dumb as fuck

>>22674277
beginners shut up

>>22674264
i like this guy
i for one always read 平和 as "ピンフ"

>>22674158
There is no difference. This is from the first result of googling your question

Basically, in contemporary Japanese, intransitive入る= /hairu/. The /iru/ readings are essentially all survivals from an earlier stage in which入るwas just /iru/. (In fact, /hairu/ is basically /hau/ "crawl" + /iru/, which is why sometimes in older texts you see it written這入る).

So your best bet is to assume that入るis /hairu/ on its own and /ir-/ in compound words (入り口= /iriguchi/,入れ替わる= /irekawaru/), and learn the exceptions one by one. There are quite a few such exceptions in the dictionary, but you won't actually encounter one very often. Most of them have a fairly old-fashioned or literary feel and are pretty rare nowadays. The big exception to this is気に入る/ki ni iru/ but it seems you have that one down already.

(If it makes you feel any better, misreading the入るin expressions like神に入るas /hairu/ is relatively common even among native Japanese speakers, precisely because /iru/isan exceptional reading these days.)

So:どどっと入るis almost certainly /dodotto hairu/, because it's not a set phrase, and so there's no reason for入るto have anything other than its standard reading. Andどどっとis probably mimetic, yeah, don't know about onomatopoeic. Try looking upどっと-- it's basically a reduplicated form of that.

i dont trust anything thats written in english about nihongo

is 醍醐味 a common word?

when was the last time you needed to know where a state was lol the internet is just auxiliary consciousness my dude communism of knowledge fuck your memory

used to be that way for me but shortly after puberty it felt completely pointless and i stopped caring.

>>22674556
based

>>22674555
im not proud of my ignorance im proud im not a fucking nerd, there are infinite things you're ignorant of (names of the stars, bfs, swahili) and yet you're completely comfortable with that. why? because you have no interest in those things just i have no interest in your map nerd shit

>>22674557
that's not hard mode bro doesn't count

it's common enough that i acquired it without mining it

i'd expect any damn eurobean to know the capital of missouri since america's world-relevant, but i wouldn't expect a non-japanese person to even know japanese prefecture names

>>22674573
but japanese prefectures are referenced all the time in media. doesn't it bother you to be like 'uh i have no idea where that is' . i don't hear about stars and swahili every day

>>22674593
>doesn't it bother you to be like 'uh i have no idea where that is'
why would it

does 外道 include or exclude the shintos who dont care for buddha (referring to the religious ones)

anki has nothing to do with speaking

>>22674575
if you mean the 入力 mode, i can already give up
i can probably only enter like 4-5 then. for the rest i need to see the kanji to remember them

>>22674612
delete old decks.
make a new mining deck.

>>22674611
why bother learning japanese words at all if every word is in the dictionary? id rather not stop what im doing to look shit up all the time

>>22674624
No shit, reading is obviously only one part of the language and I actually want to be literate so I can read manga, ln's, and eventually actual novels.

>>22674612
if your main goal is speaking Japanese then Anki is a waste of time for you (unless you use cards written in kana only)

>>22674618
yea they could but if you want to understand japanese cultural shit then it helps to know a bit about the country

>>22674644
then why tf did u mention being conversational at all

Help! I'm a noob and I wanna watch shows considered good like Kimi no Na Wa and Evangelion but I feel like I suck so much that it will just spoil the show while I can't even really appreciate it or understand it. Do I just grind random shit until I'm good enough or sacrifice the good stuff to stay motivated?

reminder that youll never be able to speak japanese if you didn't acquire it before puberty.
you can learn to read it and even repeat a few phrases, but you'll never really speak it.

this exchange is probably the biggest rush of dopamine anons gotten out of memorizing prefecture names lol

no such thing as a dopamine rush

>>22674645
Reading is part of it too, but how would you say I go about talking

>>22674652
i know this is a shitpost but i was actually had this issue for a while. at the end i decided to save a few shows (probably like 10 or so) and give myself free reign on the rest

>>22674690
good job. my high score is like 1:06 or something though

you really need to know the big cities and prefectures everythign else is inaka and doesnt matter. repping that stuff in anki is extra cringe. i just imagine some person sitting there repping nebraska and its capitol and thinking about where it is like ohhh i gotta know where (capitol of nebraska) is this is necessary

>>22674665
l'd suggest lots of anime/jdrama.
after reading tae kim's guide first

>>22674665
>but how would you say I go about talking
nobody here knows how to speak dude also just a protip but you should never take any advice from anyone here, you can thank me later :)

>>22674707
>never take any advice from anyone here
>This sentence is false

>>22674704
people can learn whatever they feel like :)

personally i like knowing roughly where a prefecture or big city is when they are mentioned
if you don't care about it all power to you

the only reason to know prefecture names is so you can be relieved when the newscaster lady doesnt call out the one your favorite mangaka lives in when a tsunami typhoon or earthquake hit

i will not even consider you legal let alone american if you cant name all the islands of hawai'i

heres ur gold star bro lol

>>22674718
why do esls suck dick at english tho

>>22674695
i think it'd better to stick to that than to act all miaer-like and say "YEAH, I CAN TOTALLY READ THIS JUST FINE. I KNOW 95.1% OF ALL THESE WORDS AND HAVE CONTEXTUALLY-AIDED 99% COMPREHENSION AFTER MAKING 20K CARDS."

>>22674729
don't care american identity is retarded. i'm a white european

>>22674732
there's the alternative of actually learning japanese tho lol

>>22674732
well i tried the reading method and hated having to look up words constantly and have been more content with droning with anki and i'll start reading again after ~10k words or so.

>>22674734
lol

>>22674731
because they see english as a tool to be used instead of some art to be mastered

>>22674734
>i am white
that's already a very american thing to say

>>22674740
it's not like that ever really ends, since not two works will have the exact same set of words.

>>22674734
the only based thing you've ever said. an "american" nationality means nothing when it describes affluent great white people and impoverished criminal brown people. we are first and foremost european and share far more in common with europeans than we do brown americans.

>>22674695
havent seem someone say u literally cant learn anything without anki in a while
brings me back to djts glory days

moe confirmed for 56%er

i stll use text hookers to copy and paste weird kanji into google and copy paste sentences into my sentence text file to make anki cards. saves a lot of time.

should i mine this one 粘膜

never said that he's arguing there's no point in even trying to remember words since you can look them up easily which is retarded. you have to make an effort to not just scroll over everything with your hover dictionary at least

sometimes when I struggle with motivation, I think back to the time I watched all of Yu Yu Hakusho as preteen on MegaVideo & similar in 3-part episodes, but the audio was all out-of-sync so I played the french dub on daily motion and tried to play the English audio in the background and that I did this by choice without ever realizing I could just torrent it, then everything feels easy.

hover dictionary users are doomed no question about that one

why do these virtual youtubers almost always sound like they are addicted to huffing helium

yah anyone who uses hover shit when they arent already pretty proficient are just fucked

having to look at a flashcard 30 times before it starts sticking is no different from hovering over a word 30 times while reading until it starts sticking.

i've used flashcards many times in the past, but that doesn't mean i would say everybody ought to be using flashcards to learn words.

>>22674801
doesn't take 30 times tho lmfao

>>22674781
the eternal ankifag who makes a card out of every single unknown word they see and does reps till the day they die is hella fcked too

>30 times
found the brainlet

>i need a button
lmao didnt they teach you to use your context clues in grade school

>>22674795
imagine being such a monkey that you can condition yourself like that lol

>>22674798
ive said why millions of times

cuz having the ease and speed of information keeps u from spending enough time with new things for them to really have any impact

its what leads to ppl saying "kanji kantei" or "god bless the kougou" etc

>>22674827
>i cant control my actions beyond what experience defaults me to
literal p zombie

yeah repping a card 30 times you just outed yourself as a beginner

>>22674836
>i can do something a million times and expect no consequences
ok kid

>>22674810
now that you said it, i think they really didnt

>>22674843
>i can never change my behavior
stay retarded

>>22674840
yeah def better to just have it sorta stick after 5 times

sure hope u guys dont let anything said itt dictate what u do in any way shape or form lol

>>22674560
this sorta thing is actually unironically why ppl cant learn japanese also

u cant learn japanese if u let it stay in the cloud haha

tfw pretending to get obscure references that even most japanese people probably don't

>>22674864
youre actually so fucking retarded for thinking using a map is the same as pasting text into google translate every time you want to read honestly stop trying so hard

yah but thats ok ppl dont get humor in their native language either

>>22674878
ur retarded for @ing me talking about maps and whatever other shit u posted after i stopped reading it

>>22674818
ive gone from mousing over every other word to mousing over a word every few sentences so the amount of time spent has had an impact
matto prob doesnt mouseover dic btw cuz he would collect new words but not look up any defs until he hit his target and stopped reading and went on to card creation

we just got a bunch of learning zealots in here atm, but really do everything but in moderation and mine and immerse from as few genres as you can, this will up your natural repetition frequency, gl bc luck is a factor too

this is the only truth you need

>>22674890
dont even at one of my posts with your retardation like how do you post this >>22674882 but then reply >>22674864 to >>22674560 absolute retard honestly

>>22674892
>gl bc luck is a factor too
lmfao

>>22674892
in other words, just watch moe anime like moefag

>>22674904
you run into a new word you just rep'd in a new show and instantly get perma acquisition, things like that happen and that's luck

i want the boys to live their best life and they just refuse

mary uses texthookers to play vns, and makes cards using yomichan, so i think it's fine.

what is the meaning of ため here? it seems superfluous. could it perhaps be definition 4, "regarding", thus "101 methods regarding suicide"?

if you wanna translate it over to english, you could phrase 為 as "for the sake of accomplishing"

>>22675091
nice

>>22675071
?

if ur goal in life is to be the very best at japanese language just take a look at mattvsjapan youtube and see if u really want to continue down that path

wish i could do 30 new cards per day but i barely find 20 words worth mining in 5-6 episodes of anime. if i watched some mecha shit or something with a harder vocab in general id easily be able to mine that many words but my enjoyment would go down the toilet.

thanks for reminding me (not him)
ill start one up right now

u dont have to be a tard like matt to get good at japanese just look at dogen

you do have to skype with retards who pay you to be their friend though

obviously noobies have trouble breaking up phrases/words, its gonna happen with/without a mouseover dic, thats why u have a 日本語 homie that has ur back when u have questions
