Now I don't usually bash on weea<position></position>booism, but if YOU don't take it too far then I'm terrified to find out what taking it too far is

I like Japanese TV. Hello, Writer's Strike.

He's definitely borderline. xP

Goddamn Japanophiles, though. Need to stfu. >_>

Oh fine, borderline maybe, but you'd never be able to tell if you looked at me or talked to me in person. Maybe once you get to know me, but I really don't talk about anime and stuff to people who I know won't care or don't share the same interest.

[Yar]

Yankophiles piss me off.

I'm actually living in Japan right now. One year and four months to be exact. And like what most have already said, it is pretty much like every other country with it's ups and downs. Tokyo is much like any other big city, comparable to New York or Paris where all cultures mesh together, it's exciting and I recommend everybody should visit once before they die.

When I was younger I was pretty into the whole "JAPANESE SUPER AWESOME!!" but after living here for more than a year the whole thing just settles into you and it becomes routine like everything else in your life. Then again I've always wanted to see the world and like to travel and hate having to stay in one place for too long. I guess being military folk kind of does that to you.

So if you guys have any questions about the land of the rising sun, feel free to ask.

Fun fact!: Contrary to popular belief, there are no cute effeminate half-demon boys that you can conveniently fall in love with and save the world together here. However there are ninjas. Everywhere.

lol. im taking mandarin chinese, and plan to take japanese before i graduate college. does that count but mines because im a techy major, and might had need of traveling to asian countries. plus it looks better on a resume if you speak chinese and such, just for business trips ^_^

Japan gave us Square, Sqaure gave us FF, this is a site about FF. This site is indirectly Japanese.

I also find Pocky somewhat delicous.

That's like saying sites about astronomy are indirectly alien. xP

I hate Japan purely because of japanofags. It's all your fault, guys.

Then again, you can hear people from foreign countries putting America in the same light.

Hahaha

People think of Japan, like they think of Hawaii or Australia or even Israel. All places that have been stereotyped over the years. I guess, Japan pretty much brings out the coolest on this planet, especially in the gaming department, so who wouldn't want to go in this era? If only to visit.

I guess it comes down to realizing that places are good and they are bad. We the outsiders only get to see what they (the country) want us to see. The bad and the ugly remains hidden till you get there. It's no reason not to go, not at all.

Exactly, like how Michigan isn't all economically devastated and crime-overwhelmed like Flint. Some of it has large areas of beautiful nature, and many cities are doing just as well as the rest of America (which doesn't say much good).

[NeoTifa]

i like how all the immigrants think theyre gonna be filthy rich, and how they think its beautiful here, and how everyone is happy cheery etc. when america is really one of the worst countries to live in imho. not not saying im not pround to be an american, and i would join the military in a heartbeat if only theyd let me, but they wont, so bah on them!!!

[rubah]

japan just hasn't been as exciting as it was when I first learned about j-rock.
