Dear God I feel you so hard. In my head I acted out so many storylines for me and my husbando, and several of them include tragic heroic self sacrifice and love stories that would make Twilight look like a masterpiece of modern romance in comparison.

My husbando is from a really unpopular series and there's no merchandise for him. I just want to spend my money on figurines and cute shit yet there's nothing avilable. The pain... A-at least I can spend that money on burando to dress up for him.

Not every single tumblr is cancer. There are some sane people around. And even if not, I don't give one single fuck as long as they post hawt porn, good fanfictions, links to translations or whatever might be useful. As long as they don't get TOO insane, whatever. Making a blog to follow them makes it easier to keep up and archive everything.
Over time you'll grow a thick skin, believe me.

We share our feels. No merchandise and no decent cosplay... I like some popular series but my husbando's one is just not really one of them.
I also disregard at least 1/3 of the canon because the series turned to utter shit later. I still cringe at the ending yet I never stopped loving my husbando anyway.

All of this is also true for my other biggest animu crush (which I feel very guilty about). Why, just why.

Exactly! All these tiny VN franchises struggle for life (danganronpa being the noteworthy exception) - it's rough being a VN/adventure fan.

I feel you.
Okay, I am super nervouse because this is the first time I actually reveal my husbando to anyone, but - it's Persone/Rei Serio from Gakuen Alice. The amount of shame I feel right now... But I started reading this when I was very young myself, and the crush just stuck with me until I was obsessed.

My biggest other crush is Hei from Darker than Black. You can totally see a pattern here... Hei might have been husbando material but Gakuen Alice is just so mostalgic to me, and the second season of DtB ruined literally everything.

I would include Tuxedo Mask as a crush too, but I never wanted him for myself but rather see him happy with Saolor Moon so he doesn't count as husbando material. He did set a bar for husbandos though (black hair, mask, fancy clothes, emo tragic backstory...)
P-please don't judge...

VLR isn't as gory as 999 was - apparently some of the survival/horror elements scared off the Japanese audience. I don't believe there's any vomiting in it, either! That price is steep, though... maybe you could watch a Let's Play? I don't really follow youtube LPers but maybe there's one that's not too annoying. I got the 3DS version, which is mostly fine - look up the PEC bug if you end up getting it, though.

Oh man. I love ZE cosplay. I've done spoiler Zero from 999 and I'm working on something similarly spoilery from VLR... assuming I finish it on time. Time to start busting my ass on that shit.

I ended up clicking those links to proper lolita websites, spent three years eyeing up the fashion, and now I'm a real lolita. I hide my power level pretty well; most of these things aren't so much weeb things as closeted pervert things, and I'm not a huge Japanophile even though I'd like to visit there and like the food. Never cosplayed, watched a fair bit of anime but my eternal struggle is that people always think I've watched way less anime than I actually have because about two-thirds of everything I've ever watched is comedy SoL moeshit I'm only into for the yuri (or yaoi) and I'm too embarrassed to admit to watching. Doesn't bother me too much though, since every anime friend I have that doesn't know my gayness is a Black Butler and Naruto-tier entry-level weeb.

999's still my favorite by only by a tiny bit and probably since I was prepared for vlr after 999. I haven't done any yet but my friend did clover (from 999) and I'm thinking of putting together Phi sometime!

Yeah, I didn't really like AAI that much tbh but AAI2 was really good at feeling like it could fit in right with the main series~

Yeah, the games do different things well imo. VLR was more ambitious but didn't have the same sort of suspenseful atmosphere - not to mention that cliffhanger ending with no sequel in sight. I also had no expectations coming into 999 and very high expectations coming into VLR. VLR was still a very good game, though. I'd love to see your Phi sometime! I want to do her too but I don't have her round face, so I stick to other characters.

I had to take a good look at my room and it's weird realizing how much weeb shit I've collected over the years (mostly plushies). I'm kind of surprised that I never got into buying wall scrolls even though a lot of my anime geek friends have at least one. I'm really fortunate to make friends and run into people who are into the same interests as I am - that way I'm letting my bursts of weebdom come out, otherwise, I probably would have hid my power level from high school through college and then unleash the weeb beast now. I just save that energy for cons.

I feel like I do a lot of weeby things without knowing - like when I'm singing in the shower, I pretend I'm an idoru.

Not that anon, but I have no idea how I feel about learning Japanese. I know I could learn it because I've learnt other languages to a decent standard, but those experiences have also taught me that it takes *years* to progress beyond the "barely able to speak it" stage. Even if I put a lot more work into it than I did in school/college, it'll be five years before I become good enough to read manga and doujinshi without constant referral to a dictionary, and longer before I can understand spoken Japanese, which is basically the entire reason I want to learn it. I feel like if I was utter weeb trash and could afford to holiday in Japan or wanted to move there the basic conversation skills I'd learn in my first couple of years of study would actually be useful, but since my actual aim is near-fluent reading it'll be a long time until I'm competent enough.

I mean, other than my native language, it took me four years to be anything but shit at Spanish, five years before I could understand the gist of any text in Spanish and six before I could hold a non-small talk conversation properly or not get confused about tenses while reading. German also took four years to click, and in the five years I studied it I got fairly decent at reading and speaking but nowhere near as good as I'd want to be in Japanese. It took me three years of Chinese to get conversational, and in two years of French and Arabic I barely progressed beyond hello/goodbye and the alphabet. It looks like learning a new language to "able to read books" level is a six-year process for me, and I don't even know if I'll still care about this weeb shit in six years time.

I kind of feel this. It's depressing thinking that I might spend two whole years studying Japanese, just to get to the level I got after two years of high school French (basically talk about a handful of topics in 2-3 tenses, can't understand texts or speech on other tenses or other topics). If all I could do after two years of Japanese was introduce myself, say where I'm from, describe the weather, and talk about family and pets I'd be fucking pissed.

[Anonymous No.8115474]

>>8115434
Not all at once. UKfag, so by "high school" I mean 11-18 here. I did an two hours of French and two hours of German (plus homework, obviously) every week in my first year, did French, German and Spanish in my second year (only got one hour of Spanish though). I then dropped French and subsequently forgot everything I ever learnt, but carried on with GCSE German and Spanish (2-3 hours a week for another three years), then did A-level Spanish (4.5 hours a week for another two years). I learnt a bit of Chinese in my spare time in high school, then took two hours a week of Chinese classes for credit for two years of university. The Arabic I learnt on and off outside of school (mostly as a younger kid) because my family were keen for me to learn but didn't really get anywhere - I can read the script but only remember understand a handful of words. It's hard to measure in years since in some subjects I only had one hour a week and in others I had four, but in terms of class hours it's roughly 160 hours of French, 450 of German, 640 of Spanish, 150 of Chinese, plus whatever I spent on homework. So I guess if I was working really hard and doing two hours a day of Japanese practice, I could get to the same level I was after A-level Spanish in two or three years.

All of this and I don't actually like languages that much, nor have a particular talent for them (just scraped a B at A-level). I just thought it might improve my chances of finding a job, and I want to travel and live and work abroad, and I feel like it's dickish to go abroad without learning the language (even though depending on what company you work for, it's definitely possible to do that).

I don’t know what you like in terms of story, graphic level or dudes, but from my personal favorites, both less known and very well-known I can recommend:
Anything written by Inoue Satou (10 Dance), Naono Bohra (particularly those set in her fantasy setting.), Hide Yoshiko (Negative-kun to Positive-kun and Udagawa Chou de Mattete yo especially.) Yoneda Kou (Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai and my personal favorite Soredemo, Yasashii koi o suru.), Suzuki Tsuta (The Door to the Closed Mind), Yamamoto Kotetsuko (New Beginnings is very much about how hard it is to be gay in a conservative society like Japan but still manages to be a light-hearted super cute read.), Miyamoto Kano (It’s messy keeping up with all her story-lines though and the endings are not always typically “happy ever after.)

Others from the top of my head: Akiyama-kun (super surprised in a positive way when I found it), Sweet Bitter Candy (Continues to be one of my favorites since they are just so heart-wrenchingly cute together), Ultras (Rivaling soccer team fans and interesting cultural setting.), Slow Starter (Shounen ai, amazing read.), plus the anthology “Dame BL” since it has unusual stories/themes which are usually not deemed “publishable”.

Happy reading anon!

And of course I do love the works of the insanely popular Yamano Ayane, Takanaga Hinako, and Nekota Yonezu (Black-haired Maya will forever be the hottest dude for me.), but mostly excluding Nekota (because the way she writes male characters is amazing) I’m generally a little iffy about why I like them since they include a lot of shitty tropes (like rape). So in that case it’s really a guilty pleasure. I believe all tropes have a place but it’s good to keep a level discussion about why romanticizing certain actions can create harmful stereotypes and culture.

I would feel really lonely if I didn’t have anyone to discuss with so I totally get it, even discussing on the internet is not really the same thing. Perhaps there should be a blog, tumblr, fb-group for these type of discussions but I have no idea how to keep it on a level I like and not have it go into “OMG YAOIZ” level immediately.

The typical weeb stuff isnt "cool" anymore. Anime and Manga is wider known thanks to popularity in cosplay. Weeaboo is still a bad trigger word for most so I wouldnt be surprized if people stopped becoming interested in things remotely japanese to prevent being called one.I never heard of weeaboo used in a joking manner.

As for j-fashion, its followers go through them like fads and now less people feel the need to dress outlandish to express themselves. Gyaru is the main one dying because dancing was banned in clubs in the shibuya area and the gyaru stomping grounds generally because less gyaru friendly.

I think this is true to a degree. One or two very popular J-fashions (e.g. lolita) tend to be things people stick with, but any of the smaller or emerging ones for which there isn't a big western community don't seem to have people that stick exclusively to that style or dress that way for long. Especially since a lot of them don't have that many unique items so they're easier to transition in and out of than lolita so you can have a lot of overlap, e.g. "decora", "fairy kei", "aomoji kei" and general cutesy crap can all be pulled out of one wardrobe.

I would imagine the weeb stuff is around just as it ever was.It is probably a mix of nostalgia glasses on our part and how you protrayed your weebness changed, both in real life (though probably less than first guessed since we aren't in junior high or high school anymore. The Naruto headbands probably got switched for AoT jackets, and there is always animu messenger bags and crap like that) and on the internet.Back in my day, Deviantart, and your own shine website with forums was to place to be for all your weeby needs, as well as places like livejournal. Maybe it was due to slower internet and the internet was younger back then, but it took more effort and was more clique-y online. Nowadays it's extremely easy to be a fan of everything really quickly all at once thanks to tumblr and shit spreads quickly. Both the good and the bad. But as mentioned I think the weeb culture is strong, just not in the stuff we knew of when we were younger.

Not exactly the same, but I am finding people being fan-tards of things more prevalent. Maybe it's due to me being a fan-girl of various shit since I was a young teenager, but I find people that are rather plain getting into fandoms more and more, when they're the type that never stray beyond facebook, tumblr and twitter and it's just weird to me

It's just the people you know. Also most of my friends learning different languages didn't start until college. So it's really dumb to think it's too late to do something because you're in your 20's. That's still very young and at 18 you're still a teenager.

Senior in uni. Still in my weaboo days, it feels like. Probably because I don't give a shit about hiding it now. Got a couple figmas and anime tshirts I wear working out. I also dance to jpop and put it up on youtube, and it's the only thing I've considered a hobby in the past couple years. I would cringe at myself, but fuck it, I'm happy and no one gives a shit because I don't bother other people with it.

Depends on what you want to read and how much time you can invest into your studies. I was able to read average stuff after about 2 years of full-time study, but you might get there quicker if you don't care about being able to speak/write. Starting out will be hard but it gets easier the more kanji you know, you'll be able to eventually guess the meaning of many compounds by looking at the single characters, also getting your radicals down significantly speeds up kanji lookup skills.

Read the manga, it's way better than both of the animes. I honestly don't know how appealing the 90's anime is to someone new; everyone is like "Muh childhood" and "Crystal ruins everything waaah wah" and the Crystal anime is shorter. The movies are pretty cool though.

Same. I was a weeb in middle school but I didn't even know what a weeb was. My bf has always been into vidya and introduced me to 4chan so I blame him for increasing my weeb. I love animes, kawaii clothes/office supplies, and calling things "kawaii" irl (only around close friends tho).

I think because I'm an adult (21) now I'm finally around people I actually like and don't really care about impressing people I don't know. I keep my power level hidden in public though and aside from some Ali Express-tier clothing I still come off as a polite/classy lady.
