/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Because /a/ sucked and moot made /jp/

You mean like 2channeru?

>>3571611
Hey, pre-split /a/ was better than /a/ now.
>>3571608
Because the split happened and I think it's the only board that everything relevant that doesn't suck.

At first, I went to /b/. Got bored in a month.
Then I went to /v/. Got bored in two months.
Then I went to /a/. Stayed until CODE GEASS CODE GEASS CODE GEASS CODE GEASS CODE GEASS was over
Then I went on /g/ and /k/. stayed on /g/ mainly, tripfaggin.
now I go on /a/, /g/, /k/, /jp/ and /d/.
Long story short...I am the bane of this board.

>>3571625
You mean bone?

I don't like 4chan and would never have thought I'd become a frequent poster here. It's just that Touhou and visual novels happen to be THE two things I care about. I don't care for any other boards.

Maybe because of the content?

Because /a/ had been split by Moot, so ever since then I visit both boards.

However both have been becoming worse over time, especially /a/.

>>3571635
>It's just that Touhou and visual novels happen to be THE two things I care about.
Then why are you posting here?

>>3571642

I like how you try to imply that anything else gets posted on /jp/

because /jp/ is the only place where i can let out my inner weaboo and not get judged

>>3571640
>over time
/a/ was unvisitable by April 08. It wasn't gradual either.

I didn't come to 4chan for /b/ and and not or have I ever been a /b/tard.

I can only hand so much of current /a/

My main boards are /jp/ and /k/ with some /a/,
/n/, /u/, /h/ and /s/ tossed in.

>>3571650
No, I think he's trying to say that anyone who actually likes Touhou or VNs should not come here because seeing such fucking morons "discuss" them makes them much less enjoyable.

>>3571634
God I hope not.

>>3571665
I came from /h/ (looking for mai hime porn) went strait to /a/, /g/, and /m/, left /a/ with the split and left /m/ because of Gundam 00 S2 and people only watching a handful of /m/ related shows. Unrelated to thread but is it safe to come back to /m/?

OP looks like a trap...

>>3571674

But if he's here, then he's already one of those morons.

>>3571634
I am the sword of my bone

My 4chon history :
2003 > /b/ when it was Japan/Random JUST LIKE NIJIURA
2005 > left /b/ because it start sucking (in b4 /b/ was never good) and went to /a/ when it was Japan/Random (in b4 /a/ was never good)
NOW : /jp/ /g/

Because this is the only place that talks about VN's. I posted the marimo CG on /a/ once just to see how much those morons knew. NOBODY knew what it was from, still can't believe it.

>>3571718
What's marimo?

Touhou.

Because the people here amuse me. And because I'm a NEETI really am, honestly! so I feel right at home here, even though the majority seem to be normalfriends.

I've been visiting 4chan on/off for years. Nowadays I check /d/ /gif/ /r/ and /f/ sometimes but mostly just /jp/.

/b/ was never good and /a/ was /b/ with anime/manga spoilers last time (and every time) I checked, making it possibly even worse than /b/.

>>3571733
I think it would be nice if moot would make a board specifically for NEETs. But he doesn't care about /jp/ at all, so I guess that won't happen.

In before "secret club, legion, etc."

I like Touhou.
I like VNs.

We all know how GREAT /jp/ is for discussing everything related to Touhou porn, so I guess I'm mostly here for the VNs only.

>>3571721

Needed a place that didn't sucked after Spardot got hurt in the butt and forced the deletion of 420's /a/.
I'll visit /g/ for the Win7 release, hopefully it will be as good as he Wii/PS3 launches on /v/ back in the day.

I'm here because, believe it or not, it's one of like five English-speaking boards for sane eroge discussion, and the other 4 are shit.

>>3571740
This is a pretty stupid idea.

I lurk Japanese eroge boards.

>>3571791
I agree. Mainly because it wouldn't have nearly enough users and 95% of them would never post anything.

>>3571810
It seems you're confusing the concept of a NEET board with a Schizoid board.

>>3571791
Much less stupid than the concept of /jp/.

Used to use /v/, /u/ and the like, moved to /po/, /toy/ and /jp/ since then.

I don't know, /jp/ is actually filled with nice, caring people, and I love you very much.

>>3571832
I hate most of you.

>>3571832
>/jp/ is actually filled with nice, caring people

oh u

>>3571824
No, the concept of /jp/ while not exactly great is still a lot better than "NEET BOARD"

>>3571832
>/jp/ is actually filled with nice, caring people

Indeed. We keep our trolls well fed, even those which would quickly starve on other boards.

>>3571841
I like to think there are just a few terrible posters and most of the others just lurk until something actually decent shows up.

I love /jp/ but I also love the filter too.

>>3571854
"EVERYTHING JAPANESE GOES because this stuff which is very much related to anime and manga despite not strictly being anime or manga should get the fuck out of my anime and manga."

And you're saying this is better than "This is a board for people who share a specific lifestyle."?

What?

I go to a lot of boards and don't restrict myself to this one

I spend the majority of my time on 4chan now and most of that is on /jp/.

Can't really say more than that...

>>3571890
>NEET
>lifestyle
GENKI SUGOI! ^_^ WATASHI GA NEETO

I still think it might be an okay idea for /jp/ to be split into /jp/ which is the more mainstream Japanese pop culture stuff and then maybe a doujin(manga, software, etc) / VN board.

>>3571906
You mean katanas, politics, japanese, homework, and idols get their own board? I'm okay with that.

>>3571856

I meant as opposed to other boards, there really isn't as much obvious fighting, and the like.

>>3571911
Passive aggressive =/= nice and caring.

>>3571921

Its nice and caring if I ignore the people who aren't.

>>3571906

You mean like everyone actually wanted?

>>3571914
Yes exactly.

Also a dedicated *actual* Japan board would probably alleviate all the Japanese threads from other boards (music, cooking, blah blah.)

It would probably just turn into /sankakucomplex/ but oh well.

>>3571935
But which board gets the japanese bird?

>>3571982
/b/

Like many others, I once lurked /b/ for a short while as well.
I later left 4chan again, only coming back twice to /jp/ to ask questions about Japanese (sorry, I didn't know better at the time). I got the impression that though the reactions were negative, they were also helpful.

I later started playing VNs, and as I got involved in the VN translation community, I learned of /jp/ (you can't really avoid it if you lurk in VN translation IRC channels) and started browsing it.

I currently visit /jp/ pretty much every day because it's pretty much the center of the English VN community, and I like the userbase. I also visit /mu/ every now and then because it's related to my interests.

This is now a Hina thread.

So elegant~

Brief stint at /b/.
Mostly /g/ for a while along with /a/.
Then /v/ came into existence and I discovered fr/o/lo at some point.
Then /tg/ when that came along and I went there.
And when the split happened I came here.

>>3572813
ZUN-art Hina is the best!

I enjoyed early /b/ mostly due to being where our current shit used to go. I left when it became the camwhore/newfriend board.

I left for /v/ and it was enjoyable for a while until it became /v/ - Pokemon/General

I grew bored of chan for a year or two and came back when news of a board for japanese shit reached me.

Hina is my goddess!

I post here because I feel like you are all my friends :3

Started off with /a/ ages ago, then it became shit. Same for /b/. I eventually gravitated to /jp/ and rarely visit any of the other boards anymore.

What do you think about Hina?

>>3572882
I think she's a good girl and is very lucky Suwako found her to purify her curses.

>>3572882

I wish I could know more about her. She's my favorite touhou.

Because the community wasn't as awful as everyone else in the beginning. Nowadays, though, the interesting post:shit post ratio is decreasing at alarming rates.

Because /jp/ discusses my interests and the community is the best I've seen anywhere.

Less trolls then /a/ or /m/ with all the type moon faggotry.

>>3572950
>the community is the best I've seen anywhere.
I agree.

That's what makes it so sad.

>>3572953
>less then
Cool. Don't post again until you learn some basic English.

>>3572960
Makes what so sad? /jp/'s impending demise?

I tried to give up my hobbies about six months ago. I quit going to /jp/, did other things with my time. This is the first time I've been here in six months (except for last night) and it seems to be exactly the same as when I left. Six months ago everyone was complaining that /jp/ was over and there were threads discussing which boards to relocate to. Everything's still here, though. Nothing bad is happening. There have always been shitty threads. You just have fond memories associated with the old /jp/ and it makes it seem like it isn't good anymore.

If that wasn't what you were referring to, feel free to disregard my post.

>>3572970
>Makes what so sad?
The fact that other communities actually manage to be significantly worse.

>>3572976
Ah, okay. Sorry for the confusion, then.

I guess I somewhat assumed what you were talking about after I read >>3572941.

>>3572970
Actually some people did move to /bun/

I go to /jp/ and once every full moon on /v/.
The reason?
Forums and other imageboards are mostly shit.

>>3572999
Mostly trolls and normalfags.

>>3572999
What site is that on? The board name doesn't ring a bell.

>>3573016
http://bunbunmaru.com/wakaba/

>>3573026
Thanks.

Well, this is the only anonymous imageboard I browse. It's already too time consuming trying to keep up with everything, so I don't bother with any other boards.

As for why I came here, it's because when the /a/-/jp/ split happened most of the late-night /a/ crew went here. I stayed in /a/ for about a day before realizing that all the good posters had left. They were the only ones keeping /a/ interesting. Nowadays I'm not sure how many of you oldf/a/gs are still here, but I stay in memory of you all.
