/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Hello /jp/, I'm new here.

What's some good Japanese music?

Something that makes me fucking mad is people who think every Otaku is a weeaboo and they just feel so much better because they go to Japan for non-anime reasons. Fuck, I went to Japan because I love the place, I was introduced to it by Anime, yes but that doesn't mean that's the only reason I'm going there for. I went to Korea for the Korean culture, not just because I like Kpop.

People in this video are generalizing Otakus and classifying them as weeaboos, it just irritates me how they think they're better than Otakus, I just ask that you give them a piece of your mind if you can.

I'm going to Japan for 3 weeks and dunno what to do, any ideas?

Hey guys, I'm going to Japan for the summer, and I was thinking about making vlogs on youtube for my experiences of japan and sharing with everyone.
I'll be doing a lot of traditional Japanese things like Summer fes (夏まつり）and other cool things.
Would you guys like to see some of these videos if I decide to do them?
I'll also be posting about tips and stuff about the location where I'll be staying.
So, /jp/, what do you think?

Hey /jp/. How many of you have actually & successfully self-taught yourself Japanese? How long did it take you?

I understand there's both conversational & textbook to learn. I want to be able to read manga.

Were you successful?

> 20,000 women were raped, including infants and the elderly.[38] A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process where soldiers would search door-to-door for young girls, with many women taken captive and gang raped.[39] The women were often killed immediately after the rape, often through explicit mutilation[40] or by stabbing a bayonet, long stick of bamboo,[41] or other objects into the vagina. Young children were not exempt from these atrocities, and were cut open to allow Japanese soldiers to rape them.
