/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I was going to plug IM@S radio because I wasn't sure if anyone remembered it existed but it turns out that it's a permanent fixture of /vg/ /@/ threads which I didn't know about because I don't visit /vg/ for reasons, so now I feel sort of silly.

Still, those of you once and future IM@S fans who also don't visit /@/ for whatever reason should check out the radio at shijou.moe at least once if you haven't already.

Bought GalGun 2 for the Switch the other day.

>>20236948
Where did you buy those doujin from?

>>20237109
OP here. They aren't mine. See >>20096270.

Where does /jp/ go to get their manga and LN raws? It feels like it's easier to find scanlations than raw mangas.
/djt/'s manga library is missing an awful ton of stuff.

>>20237260
Usually I just google for the title with a "zip" attached to it. manga-zip.net for example has most of the stuff I searched so far.
But I also sometimes just buy what I want if I can't find it.

>>20237387
>seikai novels up to the fifth senki volume
>the new manga's five volumes

You have done me a solid. Thank you.
I'm not confident enoung in my japanese to buy raws yet, this will be good for building up confidence.

This game makes me wonder what INTICREATES was smoking when they made it.

Anyone beat this yet? Did you get both endings?

DESU though, I was only able to figure out how to get the 2nd ending from a Chinese streaming site since there are no translations or a wiki.

All in all I liked it. It was neat seeing some of the cast in 3D.

Compared to the other games in the series, I felt it was shorter (than say Ghost93 or 94), but it was a bit dialogue heavy towards the end.

I like this thread.

Going to Japan for 3.5 weeks a little over a month from now. Gonna have to start really thinking about what to do there specifically soon.
Picked up MapleStory 2. Fun game, my character looks really cute.
Making progress in Umineko, reading part 4 now. Absolutely loved part 3. Turned on the original sprites, I like them better. I was kind of disappointed with the answer arcs in Higurashi, I hope the Umineko ones are better.

I'm a big fan of japanese low budget zombie, splatter, horror and any other odd genres that can be considered adult entertainment. A lot of these b-movies have unexpected moments and can be very creative, I'm fascinated by what they can do with so little resources.
Now the other day I found this trailer of まいちゃんの日常 and it actually looks more interesting than the manga. I am looking forward to it a lot. I'm glad I checked out the channel, because it has plenty of trailers for obscure and lesser known movies, I saved like 10 trailers to my backlog.
Notable trailers that made an impression on me are
https://youtu.be/rHSLJPVoRaw
https://youtu.be/jAF_9un8wTo
https://youtu.be/xd7qNENwEvg
https://youtu.be/F-UcmQIFBdg
https://youtu.be/7306flHGDmk
Finding this content is fairly difficult, there are a few popular producers of the scene like Nishimura, because his works made it to DVD releases in the west. So I'm very pleased with my recent finds and look forward to see them.

>>20238316
You should watch カメラを止めるな！

I made this webm of a clip from some PV ages ago and never really did anything with it. I don't recall seeing any other gifs or webms of this being posted, so if you can mind the quality I'll put it here.
I can't remember anything about where I saw the video, but if I remember right it had Yuuhei Satellite's 色は匂へど散りぬるを in the background. The only results reverse image search give me now though are some Chinese websites with dead links.

>>20239472

Reminds e of when I watched jigoku or whatever it was called about the aum cult that someone mentioned in the last thread or some other place and there was this part at the end where these samurai came to hell and beat the shit out of the oni then fucked off back to life.

Looking at it again, I get the same impression, especially at the part where Youmu draws Hakurouken.

>>20238463

>>20239575
>Not possible without having a live action baby in a blender scene.

The cute girls will make up for it.

The link to >>>/tg/62775892 was a highlight of the previous thread.

I don't like Tomoki Tomonori's art. The underwear they draw are cute and I love Mary Jane style shoes but they always draw the same kind of underwear, shoes, and faces. It's not even like (hotpants loving)Noise where it's always hot. I also think the way they draw feet is weird. Chibi feet don't work on non chibi characters and it just looks lazy. I'm sick of people posting that stupid fairy comic too.

At the same time though, I wonder what sort of fucking drugs they are taking and why they like Alice in Wonderland so much.(other than probably being a stoner)
https://nhentai.net/g/250320/

>>20241988
Wasn't the whole EGL thing influenced by Alice in Wonderland? Alice is simply big in Japan. Not really surprising, since she is one of the best-known fictional characters created in the West.

>>20244245
>Wasn't the whole EGL thing influenced by Alice in Wonderland?
Iunno. I know it was popularized because of Malice Mizer. I don't know if it originated with them though. Alice is a popular story but this person seems obsessed with it. Touhou Alice, their own Alice in wonderland version, and other things related to Alice.

You also could be thinking of Rozenmaiden which has a gothloli theme alongside Alice in wonderland theme. Alice isn't really gothic or elegant though. EGL is probably just more influenced by bisque dolls than anything.

>>20244444
I don't have the time to research it now, but Wikipedia supports the idea that Alice was an influence on EGL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elegant_gothic_lolita#Sources_of_Inspiration).). I'll write a more detailed post if I get to it.

>>20244522
I can just read wikipedia if all you're going to do is write a post based on a wiki search, but feel free to do whatever. Make sure to ask /cgl/s opinion for your report.

>>20244547
>I can just read wikipedia if all you're going to do is write a post based on a wiki search
No shit. If I do it, I'll at least go through the source Wikipedia cites.

>>20244560
Why are you so invested in this all of a sudden anyway?

>>20244562
I remember it being the case and you got rude with
>I can just read wikipedia if all you're going to do is write a post based on a wiki search, but feel free to do whatever.
so I kind of want to prove you wrong.

Sometimes I think that /jp/ is more /prog/ than /g/ is.

>>20237124
I still need those comifuro pics. Show me your indonesian doujins!

>>20244996
I'd like to see them, too. I'm curious what Asian doujinshi from outside of Japan are like.

I can't believe that /jp/'s thread cycle time has gone down to eight hours from a whole day or whatever it was before.

What exactly happened?

>>20249090
People are just spamming like retards right now. It'll probably get worse over the holidays and then go back again. Even over a week there are times when shitposters make shit threads all day and time where threads last on page 9 after not having replies for 1 day and 3 hours.

Then there's this wave of shitposters that just found out warosu exists and spam outdated posts like they can be part of the past or something alongside the usual "good old days" shitposters that want /jp/ to be nothing but spam like 2010-2012. This results in people also bumping their threads so shit threads go to the bottom and thus makes it look like the posting time is short. You should spend some time reporting low quality and off topic threads so they can be deleted faster.

>>20249090
When 4chan gets the official vtuber, do you think her threads are going to be here or on /qa/? I foresee a corrosive influence if they are going to be here.

>>20250356
/jp/ is not for western things

>>20251110
You'd hope so, but since Hiroyuki owns the website and the vtuber is his idea he could allow it by decree.

>>20252093
Go check /qa/ sometimes. They can't even fucking figure out what to do with it.

>>20252326
I am not surprised.

>>20237260
The quality of scans is more of a problem for me. Translated versions have better scans most of the time which is stupid.

>>20255749
Maybe it's because scanlation is a team effort, so there is more quality control.

>>20255749
just batch convert the raws with rota/clean script. They aren't too hard to make and will save your eyes in the long run.

>>20237008
Every time I listen to this and a Yukiho 1.0 song comes up I get sad all over again.

We should have more threads of these, I don't have any new prints so making the thread myself would mean I'd just repost older things.

>>20261854
It's ok, most threads consists on reposting old and already discussed stuff, like most idolshit threads.

The final solution to the lewdposting problem has started. Hopefully the /e/ and /d/ threads will be banned for good.

I do remember reading a page on exblog deranged enough that the author likely wasn't trolling. Just like a rat infestation, if you see one, there's likely 20 more. Also the japanese aren't any more immune to being fantastically retarded than the rest of the world (look up begali jesus and other places christ totally expired/ascended/returned).

And people wonder why Japanese art is popular worldwide.

JAGMO will be performing some touhou orchestral music on December 7th at the Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall (Takemitsu Memorial).
http://jagmo.jp/lp/seiyasai/
https://twitter.com/jagjagmo

If you are in the area, you should definitely grab yourself a ticket and attend. You will not be disappointed.
Also, earlier this year when they performed touhou music, it was streamed on Niconico and some anons were able to watch it thanks to some other helpful anons mirroring the stream to get around Nico's streaming limit nonsense. Thank you for that.

I am not sure if this will be too, since there isn't anything that says it will be. But if there is, I will make a thread about it.

They will be selling new touhou arrangement CDs as well. Some samples

>>20283002
thank you, I really enjoy orchestral music and will check this out

>>20283002
I won't be in the area but I look forward to hearing the recordings, if they release any.

>>20285928
I doubt it there will be anything released that will show the full performance once it's over. They streamed it last time on nico and you were able to watch the entirety of it for a limited time using time shift but not anymore I think. There are no uploads of it on anywhere else either.

Whenever i find a /jp/sie's youtube channel i'm often shocked by their liked videos.

I went to 芸か１７ on the weekend. It was my first doujin event of any kind, and it was fun. The organisers even kept lining up at the start interesting by playing janken to split the queues up randomly.

I wasn't prepared for how busy it was, though. A few things were on my list to get first because I expected them to be popular, but even with getting there in the first 10 minutes, some had already sold out. I think some artists just didn't print many copies.

I can't even imagine how busy comiket is, because this was just a small event.

>>20287104
Don't leave us hanging, give examples. (You don't need to disclose anyone identity for that.)

Is there a Vocaloid rendition of E.L.O.'s Twilight? I am surprised I couldn't find find one. The almost inhumanly smooth vocals of that song beg to remake it with a digital voice. I did find this pretty cool MMD of Miku as the Bunny Girl in a parody of Daicon IV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFrCX-s7Eik

>>20288543
Poor quality content made by popular people, fad crap, things like that.
It's just the kinda stuff i find unbecoming of /jp/ posters, if you know what i mean.

>>20289511
What do you expect from people that have youtube channels? It's the same as having a tumblr, twitter, or facebook. People who feel the need to interact over social sites are trash themselves.

>>20289536
>What do you expect from people that have youtube channels?
Interesting fan content. YouTube is Western ニコニコ.

>>20289756
Nico is japanese cancer of the highest order though

>>20289756
youtube couldn't be further from nicodo. Intrusive as fuck ads, flagging bots with NO concept of fair use, a 'related' videos queue that pilfers results from an inhumane pool of sponsored content, no discrete tags, no discrete searches, no documentation, no systems for attributation, no fine channel privacy control, etc. Fuck, even youtube's subscription system is somehow worse than the xml feed they already provide.

>>20290077
This is also true, but up until 2013 or so it was more of a malignant tumor. Even now, I'd compare it to breast cancer, whereas youtube is more of a multiple myeloma.

In the spirit of the thread, I learned of the ラクガキ王国 series. Wish they made more than 2 games though.

>>20290387
There's people who didn't know about Graffiti Kingdom and Magic Pengel in 2018? Can you draw anything good in it? I own Graffiti Kingdom but I couldn't even make anything even on the level of Reimu cameo in it. Going online later and seeing what others had made discouraged me so much.

>>20290405
I had seen it but had never arsed myself to actually check what it was till now. Once I get the game I'll let you know what I can make in it. Speaking of reimu cameo, www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpGIJ-il67o

That's a good Reimu. There is a special charm to extensive character customization on a console.

I wanted to share this cute video with jaypee but this is the only thread I can.

https://youtu.be/AL1jI06cIbA

I watched some Aika recently to see what it was about. Apparently it's not just the epic panty-shot-on-death action series I thought it was, but some weird mix of action and sci-fi with constant panty shots at every possible moment and also there are actually dudes in it. Also a lot of nudity. For some reason I didn't expect there to be as much nudity as there was, since I thought it was a panty fetish anime. It takes itself fairly seriously too, which makes me wonder if Eiken is a parody show or takes itself seriously.

I watched the more recent one too and it was just a bunch of dykes sodomizing each other, but amusing for the main character actually being deeply bothered by the gayness of basically everyone around them. Reminded me of pic related.

All in all, even though the 2009 one is more modern fanservicy vs the older fanservicy of the 90s series, it's somehow still less explicit than something like Queen's Blade or Sekion no Quasar. They don't even go into as much detail of the panties as they do in average modern anime with only moderate fanservice. It actually seems like more of a butt guy anime than panty fetish anime. Even with nudity, lesbos, panties, and sodomy, I still don't feel right calling it an ecchi anime in 2018. At the same time, it probably had more sexual stuff than most ecchi anime nowadays since they usually seem to do everything but imply the characters in modern anime have sex.

>>20236948
I know that Yukari Ascension CD. I was in a convention in 2016 and ask if that was for sale. Nah it was a prize for Maimai competition.

I'll bump with this grotesque image from a doll thread

>>20302488
Imagine an ant of that size relative to your size in your mouth.

>>20302579
What, like a carpenter ant? That doll probably isn't that small. They tend to be like a foot or a foot an a half or so, I believe, so it's not unreasonable to think it's like maybe 1/4th my size. The ant isn't particularly large relative to it.

I'd definitely call it an ecchi anime, but it's one that has more going for it than just ecchi.

>>20324267
From what I could tell from the website summary the main heroine changes based on the type of food the MC gives her at the start of the story.

I miss MMORPGs. No new ones have come out in ages and the ones that have come out relatively recently are all trash. Mabinogi is still the only fun MMO to me. I hate that there's nothing else I can go be cute and fish and fuck around in but also has decent combat and characters that aren't so horribly proportioned (I hate SD avatars, super-realistic avatars, and weird porportions like whatever Blade and Soul and Tera were going for.)

I wish Mabinogi could have a new graphical engine and slightly better looking characters. Also that they would stop making waists higher with newer clothes because fuck that long leg, short torso look. It fucks up the arm porportions. At least Mabi is still fairly popular, so it'll last a few more years but this game really needs a successor. However I know that Lineage and FF are probably the only MMOs that managed to have relatively successful sequel MMOs. Even a WoW 2 would probably crash and burn to ashes.

Also fuck the auction house. Fuck auction houses and market boards in general.

I was listening to a Kancolle image song (from 2014) earlier and wanted to share it with someone. Those of you who couldn't care less about Kancolle might have fun with it anyway because it's because it's one of those songs that involves a VA handing lines off to her self:

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24346976

ft. Jintsuu (Sakura Ayane, breathy mode), Sendai (Sakura Ayane, power mode), and Naka (Sakura Ayane, shrill mode).

If anyone knows any other good self-duets outside of the numerous Kancolle "I voiced, like, twelve sisters" image songs I'd like to know about them. In the meantime I'm just listening to them all.

I don't care if people make threads about the same thing but they don't need to be one eternal thread, no outsiders or dissenting discussion allowed type deals.

>What recurring threads would like to see established on /jp/?
None, assuming you mean general threads that feel the need to live on as a hangout when they don't have any content to discuss currently and shitty forced memes from a decade ago.
I want to see people come up with new content or at least try to do something other than make shitty low effort threads when they're upset with /jp/. This was mildly amusing though >>/jp/image/eTJwAiGxU1qfnyHCxlIg3Q

Actually, that image illustrates one of my peeves. My problem with japanese bird/flanfly/hoopdog is that no one ever tries to deviate from it. You can just post the image and be done. It's basically just image spam like the black guy sucking a candy cane or the cat paw. At least with "das it mane" or something, they would make the effort to make different types of posts. One of the funnier things was that "slaps your ___'s ass" post, because it kept mutating to really, really stupid, board specific things and you could use different images or the "post the(post the((...))do you even lift one)one" /fit/ import meme, even more because it was in response to a different use of the image. Really, I want copy paste culture to come back. It's still usually just used for spam, but it's funny reading different variants on a theme instead of the same tired posts in this repost culture where the poster is basically just reblogging some ancient image without generating any content themselves.

Also, I want a "template thread" option in the report queue like in /a/. They all might as well say "my post is flamebaiting bullshit"

>>20343298
>チェキ is like a Polaroid
Yes. Tiny Instax cameras were a hipster thing for a while.

/jp/'s shitposting is closer to our brand (which is quite close to 2005 era /b/), while /a/'s is closer to the new age imagereddit shitposting common to the rest of the main imageboards.

What that basically means is that /a/ shitposts by having a deluge of completely worthless shit, but isn't interesting in the slightest, or simple garbage that gets repeated simply because it is annoying. Example: '>implying, image macros, and other shit that would have been funny in middle school. /prog/'s and, to a lesser much extent, /jp/'s, shitposting consist of having a few different shitpost methods with at least some thought put into their creation (for example, the `How are breasts attractive' thread, which is completely off topic and ridiculous, but is well written and somewhat interesting none-the-less). Ideas are formed on a questionable premise, then expanded upon until it reaches it's absurd logical conclusion. It may also take the form of making a huge deal over a minor detail, or assuming things that are false and writing a long critique based upon that, or making provably impossible demands. Contrary to Standard 4chan Shitpost Model (S4SM), where the intent is to annoy, the intent of our shitposting is to entertain, provoke discussion, or simply as an exercise in writing.

Since the fall of Usenet, w4c style shitposting is currently considered some of the best in the world. Even the great usenet trolls have migrated to /prog/ to bask in the glory of our shitposting. The UN is currently trying to classify /prog/ as a world heritage site, but their action may come too late. W4c shitposting is currently an endangered species, due to invasion by the imagereddits, a dwindling population caused by suicide and incarceration, and moderator action. Some have speculated that moot is trying to kill all forms of shitposting that do not conform to Project Canv.as. So far, the best defense available is to derail stupid imagereddit threads with kopipe and JEWS, as well as giving harmful advice to homework threads. It is considered rude to call a w4c style shitpost in conformance with board standards bad.

It is thought by leading scholars that the reason for the Shitposting Schism was the rapid growth of /b/ due to the media exposure of Chanology, when an influx of underage Digg users caused 4chan to explode. Others claim that the shift happened even before that, during the first influx newfags during 2006. This school of thought holds that the first influx gave rise to the loutish behavior of `raiding' and other bullshit, which was a direct cause of the second major wave. Once /b/ was populated almost completely with underage children, the shitposting culture changed to it's modern form, where it is a competition on who can be the most annoying. The cancerous population then colonized nearly every other board on 4chan that could possibly appeal to it's socially well-adjusted population. Mentifex, an expert in the field, built the Artificial Unintellegence ANDRU to model the thought process of the imageredditors. Despite a few setbacks, the project has largely been a major success.

Since world4ch was not linked to on most boards, and since the average imageredditor ignores anything that isn't a reaction image anyway, the area was left mostly unharmed by the change of shitposting. It remained much more subtle, and resembled machine generated spam less than the imageboard brand. Since /jp/ was at one point full of autistic sexually deviants (a natural pairing for /prog/riders) and were far more computer literate than boards such as /g/ or /b/, they were naturally drawn to programming; /prog/ and /lounge/ (which had a shitposting style slightly different than /prog/, until two retarded children took over the board) was an obvious destination. Since it still wasn't enough of a secret club, they moved off site to places like 4-ch for a few days before returning to /jp/ with a more cultured outlook on shitposting.

>>20343336
alternatively we could just not shitpost.

Anyway, back on topic, I found out zip.2ch/2 is almost an exact mirror of our own /tv/. They really hate the koreans, especially australia (which I earned is full of koreas)

I learned otaku isekai spider comic is actually a series of books, and I don't know enough japanese to read it. Fuck.

The manga spider is cuter though.

Are there still isekai where the mcs aren't overpowered? I know it's usually ones with female protagonists like Inuyasha and Escaflowne but something where a guy is the leader and he's just a member of a party and not themost powerful ever in the whole world or anything. Not the other way where he's hopelessly weak either.

You are a /jp/sie of patrician taste. Mabinogi is the only MMO that still feels like it did in the "old days" and makes me feel nostalgic whenever I play it. It's hard to describe but it's genuinely fun, and people actually talk to you unlike most other MMOS.

You have inspired me to improve, anon. Thanks to the new filters for generals that didn't interest me I have actually noticed an interesting older thread.

I have 40 hidden threads, basically everything not touhou plus a few exceptions I'm too lazy to fix.

Filtering threads is within autism spectrum?

None of this is fun anymore (except the train and photo threads)

>>20362494
That bothers the fuck out of me to be honest, since I keep my computer permanently in Japanese locale.

>>20362790
The train threads remind me of the early camera threads where /jp/ would watch random things all day, but it feels like train otaku took it over and made it their thing. I don't give a fucking flip about trains so it feels like something that was lost. I never cared for random photos of Japan though. Buildings are buildings. I can go outside and see buildings and people.

Today I learned about standing Soba stalls at stations. Despite their prevalence they aren't used by that many people, which is why they get almost no exposure.

I got used to it after a few years, and if a filepath is in japanese its easier to parse at a glance (or far away) since backslash isn't fullwidth in them. Outside of windows though there's literally no reason to keep it.

I don't think so, the trancam thread pales in comparison to /n/-wota threads and is still less about the infrastructure than it is about watching comfy shit.

I'm sad no one played https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ215409.html
I don't like the artist but it was a fun game. Despite the intentional N64ish era graphics, the characters are pretty expressive looking and it's an overall cute and fun lewd game. I get the feeling that because it's not all that sexy, not many really cared about it in the west. Thus the reason I'm sad is that no one has uploaded a version with the update, even though other games usually get their updated versions uploaded. All it is is another boss fight, but honestly the boss fights were the most entertaining part. It really has a lot of heart put into it to just be some ugly H game no one cares to even patch.

Also it seems to be related to previous games they made but I didn't play them. They seem to have been stepping up in generation each incarnation, from 8 to 16 bit era to this one.

>>20362967
Could the explicit sex itself have been the problem? Judging by the video and the screenshots, not many would find it arousing. The biggest thing the sex scenes have going is the "impossibly naughty N64 game" factor. Maybe the game should have been cut down to the equivalent of a CERO "D" rating and sold in more mainstream venues to fans of Conker's Bad Fur Day?

>>20366980
I'm surprised CBFD wasn't actually published in Japan.

>>20366980
There's not really much actual sex in the game. You yourself only get to have sex with the three princesses you're trying to save and you have to actually find them to rescue them. It's entirely possible to beat the game without rescuing them. Other than that the bosses have lewd things going on with them during the fight but it's mostly silly as it is sexual.

>sold in more mainstream venues to fans of Conker's Bad Fur Day?
That's a ridiculous statement, doujin PC games aren't a mainstream genre to begin with. Is there even a more mainstream venue for PC doujin games? Also, do Japanese even know what that game is?

Besides that, it's an ero game from an ero artist, going along with the ero action games fad. The game is basically all about the nudity and cute/lewdness of the enemies. The problems are probably that it's primarily loli and there actually isn't that much actual sex. Western players tend to just want to jump into a game and be presented with sex. I think the artist style is a bit of a hold back besides the graphics too, but it's kind of hard to see how cute the game is without having played it.
Although they probably could make a decent non ero doujin game and sell it. http://yamipaseri.michikusa.jp/game02/lili00.html This non ero game is basically what the ero one is a 3D version of. Their other games seem okay too http://yamipaseri.michikusa.jp/

Now that I check, it's also possible people didn't think it was worth ~15 bucks. It has a strange amount of depth though, with hidden things and multiple endings.

>>20367151
I can't imagine Japanese liking it

>>20367372
Then I overestimated the amount of sex in the game. I thought maybe it was a health recovery mechanism or something like that that you saw often.

Steam allows sexual content. For example, there are lewd VNs on Steam. It also publishes indie games. I am not sure about loli. Since it's Western it is safe to assume loli is either not allowed or a gray area.

>Western players tend to just want to jump into a game and be presented with sex.
You're right. Moreover, Western players tend to dismiss anything an erogame may have besides the porn. They lump together nukige and games that are 2% porn and 98% gameplay/story. It's a real cultural difference.

>I can't imagine Japanese liking it
Maybe. It's full of references, after all. When I said "fans of Conker's Bad Fur Day", I didn't mean just that game, but more broadly the kind of game it is - crude and sexually suggestive, but in the end not seriously lewd.

No bad. Reminds me of Crystalis. I get bored of this type of game quickly nowadays, but some years ago I probably would have beaten it.

>>20374530

>>20376539
Cool looking characters with interesting individual mechanics. Since it established there are guys from the beginning, there are both male and female characters as normal so it doesn't have this strange one-gender-is-relevant world. I primarily like the idea that you get stronger by grazing, that is you fire stronger shots while you're grazing enemy bullets.
Those are the main differences, you still fly around with human characters shooting down other human characters as bosses, although the generic enemies are more mechanical.

There are many thematically related options.

>Sounds like encouraging nostalgia
Most of it won't, I think. Something like Otaku: Japan's Database Animals is written from an outsider perspective without nostalgia or even excessive sympathy, but can still provide insight. I guess it could make you identify more strongly as an otaku if you find yourself relating to the subjects of the writing.
>Already did this

How do you talk about media without consuming it? I barely if ever watch anime but I like manga and video games. Even just browsing /jp/ you'd probably read some of the touhou manga just from seeing threads about them.

I'm convinced that 4chan is like a bacterial infection in that unless it's completely eradicated from your system, it just keeps coming back. There's no way to simply limit the amount of time you use 4chan. You have to quit altogether or you inevitably find yourself wasting all day on it.

>>20402748
You just have to not care about anything anymore. All these boards suck. /jp/ sucks too. /jp/ spinoffs suck. Why go somewhere that sucks? I only reload this page several times a day in hopes that someone made a non shit thread, but I mostly actually just browse the archive so I can just see the last created threads. I'll stop here before I start metawhining.

>>20402917

To be fair, about 2-5% of western h-art is good (enough to help me jack off anyway) or caters to my highly specific fetishes. But most of that makes its way here or can be easily picked out with effective tag usage on ex/*booru.

>>20410848

>>20410045
If you go on Sad Panda, which has the largest archive of any hentai site, you will find tons of JP-only content with no comments, few tags, and no following whatsoever.

I have a few artists from the 90s - early 00s which have a few of their scans on their, and I've scanned some esoteric stuff myself.

>>20415898
What's that have to do with it being "The best h-art"? Being obscure doesn't make it good. It just makes it not worth scanning/translating by the general populace.

>>20416065
How stupid can you be? Not everyone gets off to your platefaced balloon titted shoulderless excuses of women.

>>20416079
When in this chain did someone assert what it is exactly that they find to be the best art? What artist(s) are you even referring to? >>20402352 is the only one with an image. You need to tone your /v/vg/ attitude down some and take it easy. Also to stop being a hipster who thinks popular = bad and obscure = good.

But back to your comment, what artist did you have in mind when you wrote your post? The kind of artists I see people jacking off over are like Yassy and his shit art that isn't balloon titted and that one person who makes like 5 doujin a year, mostly about Alices.

Unless you're going for popular artists you don't really need to do much more than show up. Most worthwhile dojinshi eventually gets scanned and uploaded.

SFW dojins are kind of a crapshoot, but if it's not popular you won't have too much trouble if you just show up before noon.
Take the first train and prepare to compete in the Standing In Lines Olympics if it's popular.

Any ideas on how one would go about making a sin sack bag? I guess the starting point would be to get a sack but I'm not sure what size I'd need, and how to put the kanji on it. I tried looking up tutorials but even in Japanese I couldn't find anything.

Sort of, if Guy Fawkes was a massive pervert. They're basically meant to represent stereotypical 2ch posters and otaku so they're usually abused or sat on by cosplayers. I don't think they're quite as popular as they were a few years ago though.

I've always thought this pasta was a poor reflection of the reality of 4chan. Some quality content (like discussion about certain topics related to otaku culture) you can't really find anywhere else with the exception of other imageboards. I assume the point of the pasta isn't "move to smaller imageboards".

It is true that few posters, especially on larger boards, are interesting in the truth, but that is true everywhere. At least on 4chan the moderation doesn't declare the official value of pi to be 3 and ban anyone who dissents. If you are going to waste your life on the Internet talking on people you don't know, there are definitely worse places to be. Suppose you had volunteers spend at least 4 hours per day on either Tumblr or 4chan for several years. I'd expect the Tumblr group to be in worse mental and even physical health by the end of this period.

I am also confident that I have become more open minded over my 10+ years of posting here. It was more due to outside factors, but at least 4chan didn't prevent me from it. (As an aside, I think /jp/ is the humblest board on 4chan. It may be unique in cultivating this level of humility and taking it easy instead of having the last word. Maybe the fastest, angriest, most mindless boards tend to cultivate haughtiness. If this tendency exists, I don't think I was really affected by it when I lurked them. Maybe these boards attract and retain haughty people, not make people haughty.)

>>20445087
>Maybe the fastest, angriest, most mindless boards tend to cultivate haughtiness.
It's honestly just /v/, and people who post on /v/ related boards. I have no idea what the reason is though. Probably the age of the population. /v/ was always "do everything but discuss video games". /vg/ was probably really made because people hated that people were gathering to talk about video games instead of making comics with silly faces and prank calling shops, rather than continuous threads about some broad topic being inherently bad.

The thread >>20448088 was deleted before I got a chance to reply, but I wanted to say that was a good commercial.

>>20448544
Not bad.

Saw this and was reminded of that yurifag trying to make some bucks off a cheap clone of aispace

There is an interesting thread about Akihabara on /jp/ right now.

Every time I hear the "akari no nai michi wo" line from Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari I think of the Yuru Yuri title call.

It's been bothering me for a long time and now it can bother you too.

>>20461613
Thankfully, I don't know any of those things.

KVO, a jp fighting game tournament, is running Soku and streaming it here twitch/kvojapan4

I'm not sure who most of the players are but the level of play looks pretty high. It's fun to watch.

Jealous as hell of the art on the bottom right.

>>20436858
Not that guy, but are you allowed to take a small folding chair for the lines? The kind that folds into a cylinder and you can carry on your shoulder.

I think the problem boards are more than just /v/, /pol/ is another place that can't help but shut up other boards. There are others, I'm sure.

>>20466280
/pol/s problem is people from /r9k/ and /x/. They aren't some force that gathers politards, but a place that brings out the idiots on each board who go there to confirm the beliefs they already had. This was a problem since back with the old /new/ and /n/. /pol/, if anything, manages to be stupid and non serious more than the prior incarnations. People would still be politards even if /pol/ didn't exist.
/fit/ and /sp/ are probably more actually problematic since they intentionally spam stupid shit across all boards and are probably the originators of that war with the mods thing.

Sounds interesting. Could you elaborate on what they spam and why they're at war with their mods?

>>20467453
>why they're at war with their mods?
I don't know, but it's not their mods only, rather I meant /sp/ propagates that whole "janitor does for-free hotpockets" thing and are presumably the ones spreading it across boards. Given the limited time I've gone to them, they seem like a shitposting emporium and I wonder why they even exist. This is probably the reason they hate their mods. I think /sp/ is the one that spams that 4chan cup bullshit over every board all the time too, though it seems to have a /vg/ thread also. Historically they both would spam /jp/ with memes from their boards like "do you even lift" and "manlet" related things. /sp/ is probably the bigger problem. I think /fit/ just can't stop spouting /fit/ memes everywhere, but /sp/ definitely aggressively shitposts.

What are your otaku-related regrets?

Bought some physical art

Currently in Takasaki waiting for a The Pillows gig. Went here early and I regret it now because there's fuck all to do.

What's a good place in Tokyo to get art books and good wallscrolls?

>>20266405
Dunno. All of the known ones are here though http://txtchan.org/

Lacks pr*gr*d*r.

I had no idea that ear fluff pussy was a thing.
It's really weird when you think about how the fluff is a stylized version of something that isn't even actually inside the ear. It's like fingering a cotton ball that was stuffed down in there. Hot tho.

>>20425952
It's relatively popular in Japan.

Honestly, in this day and age, a good indie Western game will most likely get some JP following, even JP imitations like VA-11 Hall-A and Doki DOki Literature Club.

I did this btw, I bought a VPS in Tokyo AWS and used this guide to set up OpenVPN:

Amazingly, Niconico is still slow as balls when uploading.

Whatcha uploading?

>>20473406
You'll see on new years. There'll almost certainly be a thread on it.

Good riddance.

What is/was progrider?

Both have multiple dojinshi at this year's Comiket, IIRC.
