Which stage are you at now?

1. You see an anime on TV and become interested in it
2. You're actively downloading animes and watch them regularly
3. Thanks to seeing a lot of OP/EDs you become interested in jpop/jrock and start listening to it
4. You become interested in japanese games like PS2 jrpgs
5. Gradually hentai becomes okay and you start watching it
6. You start regularly visiting imageboards
7. You now have a weird fetish like guro, moe or lolikon
8. You start reading visual novels
9. You decide to learn Japanese
10. You're now visiting Japanese image boards and forums
11. You move to Japan
12. After living in Japan for 3 months your dreams are shattered and commit suicide

Are we supposed to add them up or something? This order doesn't make much sense at all. This seems more like the order some 15 year old experienced them in, and assumed everyone else did the same.

Man, I went off on a completely different course.

1. You see a giant robot show on TV and become interested in it
2. You start regularly googling for information on giant robot shows and discover anime
3. You're actively downloading animes and watch them regularly
4. You become interested in tokusatsu
5. Gradually liking kids toys becomes okay and you start buying them
6. You now have a weird specialty like gundam model kits, vinyl figures or chogokin
7. You start regularly visiting imageboards

I'm turning into a normalfag. I can feel it.

Last night I hung out with friends - a few good friends, when in the past I'd maybe have 1 or 2 close friends in my life at a time. We planned to go to a free concert, but missed the bus and didn't get there, but the night turned out to be enjoyable anyway. We basically ended up spending the night drinking.

I can feel that this sort of stuff with other people is getting more important to me. My attitude towards my computer is changing too. I find myself seeing 4chan less as a "place" and more as what it really is, a board. No different really than the BBS's back in the day. I'm starting to use my computer for more interesting things again. I'm getting back into the demoscene, and I'm coding and stuff again.

I mean, I still read manga, and I really dig Silver Forest and I even went to Sakuracon and bought an IOSYS album while I was there. I'm still into touhou and animu and stuff.

I think it's because I've been smoking so much pot. I often go out at night and smoke in the cool air under the stars, and then I come back home, and I tend to dick around on my computer, and what am I doing? Using it the way it's meant to be used, rather than using it as a form of escape from society.

Like, I'll fire up Audacity and mess around with the 500 or so plugins I have installed (every single set in the debian stable repository) until I come across an interesting sounding waveform, then load that into a tracker and work on a tune with it.

Or, I'll use an atari st emluator to run Synthetic Arts 3 and draw all kinds of cool pictures.

Doing this changed my relationship with computers, and consequently my relationship with 4chan and the culture surrounding it.

I went through a fair bit of 9 in high school, but I brought that to a screeching halt when a friend of mine (well, at the time) decided to spend much more effort than is ever necessary to vehemently/violently argue with another one on how this one certain kanji ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT look similar to this [other symbol I forgot]. Also arguing about pronunciation and other faggish things like that.

I took a few steps back and thought "Wow, is it possible for me to turn out like this (I am fairly ocd and stubborn)?" and made the decision to cut my losses. I'm much more older and mature about things now, and I'm sure it might be good to learn more than just a couple conversational things, but I have never felt motivated enough to continue.

For lower powerlevels, they despise it because they've discovered that Japan is not a fun-tastic anime-land that is populated by the beautiful, single, young, and innocent of heart. It's a societal nightmare much different than Harem or Boy's Love comics.

The higher power levels just didn't bother finding out what they already knew: Japan was never good.

Don't really harbor any interests of staying in Japan... I'd like to visit someday, but it isn't gonna kill me if I can't.

I'm stuck at eight, and I'll never go higher than (9) since I have other plans. Like, not moving to japan while still getting out of the puddle of piss that is the country of my birth. Cereally, this place sucks sweaty hobo ass.

>> No.1204558

I'm in an anime regression where the only reason I even visit 4chan is out of habit, and the only anime I ever watch are shows I've seen before and liked. I did actually get some manga from the library the other day, but my usage rates have seen a notable decline as of late.

Went more like this for me...

4. You become interested in japanese games like PS2 jrpgs
5. Gradually hentai becomes okay and you start watching it
7. You now have a weird fetish like guro, moe or lolikon
1. You see an anime on TV and become interested in it
2. You're actively downloading animes and watch them regularly
6. You start regularly visiting imageboards
8. You start reading visual novels
9. You decide to learn Japanese

I'm still not particularly interested in jpop/jrock.

Yes when i was about 4 years old.
>2. You're actively downloading animes and watch them regularly
Yes but only about 4-5 years ago when i got flat rate.
>3. Thanks to seeing a lot of OP/EDs you become interested in jpop/jrock and start listening to it
About 8 years ago when i still had 56k
>4. You become interested in japanese games like PS2 jrpgs
Since i was 10 years old.
>5. Gradually hentai becomes okay and you start watching it
The first thing i did when i got my 56k modem was go search for Sailor Moon hentai

1.) No. First anime I watched was Rozen Maiden due to the DESU-spam thing.
2.) I did that for a year, and burned out in the process. This season I only follow ZnT
3.) Not really. Apart from a few OSTs it's either KEY or Touhou music only. I can't stand too much japanese music, I'm a blues/hip-hop guy originally
4.) Nope.
5.) Naw, I fap to the occasional doujin and that's it. I don't think I've ever even seen animated hentai, save for the time I snagged Sekais H-scenes (School Days) off /rs/
6.) That's how I got into this mess in the first place. Stupid sexy memes.
7.) I'm a self-professed moéaholic, but that's about it. I have a few fetishes, but they're not related to "all of this". Straight up worksafe and bug eyes to go, please.
8.) I really like tsukihime, but I can't stand anything else, and I've tried. This may be due to me being a raging /lit/ faggot. It just doesn't cut it for me.
9.) Well, I applied for it but got sucked into doing English instead so ...
10.) Won't happen.
11.) That'd be cool, and it will probably happen sometime down the line since I'll be working as a stringer in a few years.
12.) Nyet.
