/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Moe is that exists all around us, but can only be grasped by those who open their hearts to it-- anything that is moe exists, but only appreciated by those who have the power of MOE inside THEMSELVES
These bearers of MOE can truly only be OTAKU
Regardless of how whatever else, Moe exists aside it all-- it is a protective love-lust of whole purity, created out a totalitarian, HOLISTIC love of CUTE!

I'm not sure to be honest. In my childhood I saw them as little more than disgusting perverts, but somewhere as a young adult (18-19) I warmed up to the nation. I have no idea how it happened. I went on vacation there for two weeks about 3 years ago and absolutely loved it.

While I did grow up with Pokemon and DBZ, I rarely watch anime though I do enjoy the aesthetic of it. I enjoy the upbeat music that comes over from there even if I can only understand small bits and pieces of it.

I'm about year out from my bachelors and I will probably stick around for a masters. Plenty of time to continue working on the language. Once I am done I want to seek work in Japan preferably in my field (IT) but if I have to go though JET to get my foot in the door I would go that route.

perhaps you are right.
perhaps you are also hanging around NEET/Kaguya threads too often, lots of /jp/sers collect some pretty expensive stuff

But money spent in our hobbies isn't the main thing-- its the heart of it's that's important

Neither am I, there are just more guns owned by /jpsies/ than /k/ommandos
