I've been trying books lately but it's so hard. I enjoy reading but my brain is like "dude why are you reading there's a computer in front of you".

Sometimes I go outside with a book just so I'll read, but there aren't many outdoors places it's acceptable to read in. For a few days I just got buses in circles and read on the buses, but then they'd always get full or someone would be too noisy and it ruined everything.

We'd go back to old entertainment, probably hold it as sacred since Japan was no more (sacred fags would be insufferable, just like Katana fags are now).

That's my problem exactly, i can't force myself to read for more than 2 minutes, even if the book is interesting, it's even more embarassing considering that i used to be a bookworm before.

Probably give a ton of aid/charity to the intl. Red Cross etc. and urge/guilt-trip the government into letting the refugees stay here. After people get done enough grieving, business would go on, and people might come up with some similar creative outlets. Probably would.

Let's not let that happen, though, eh? Support the ongoing international fallout fuckup testing ban. And watch out for australia, those guys are really stupid and right next door.

Japanese high schools and giant robots are as Japanese as you can get. It's time to accept that maybe the world is more similar than different and that some tacked-on Christian symbolism doesn't make something "Western" (Christianity is a big part of Japanese culture and history, for instance).

What would be "Japanese" to you? Period dramas? Fantasy series with creatures not stolen from other countries (all 2 of them)?

We will rebuild.
The torch will be passed to us, and we will continue to produce new 2D media.
Sure, it will probably be shit at first, but that's what happens when you need to rebuild from almost nothing.
Enough media and backlog already exists to continue entertaining us for quite some time, though.

Perhaps one day the otaku of the world and the Japanese diaspora will return to Japan and start anew.

Japan is pretty shit, land-wise. Poor soil, few natural resources, not much arable land. In case you forgot, the Japanese home islands being shitty and bereft of MINERALS was the entire reason for Japanese imperialism at the turn of the 20th century.

Most of the volcanic soil is in lands which are too steep or out-of-the-place to be productive to farm, since most of Japan's volcanic activity was relatively long ago in comparison to other islands in the "Ring of Fire." Mind you, people have tried to farm it, only to wash away the topsoil after a few seasons.
