Why are they walking on the road like that?

I don't get it

I think its just dust. It's really windy in Japan right now.

Where I'm from this is called a haboob

When it combines with a hot summer storm it's a monsoon

>>10590610
It's a smog cloud from China. The winds blew it over the ocean.
There is a little resentment in that Japan's rigorous safety and enviromental standards are almost literally shat upon by China's poisonous exhaust.

Just a little, though.

is anime going to be alright? ive never seen this fenomenon before

What's going on here?

>>10590650
Google the street and current time, see if anything comes up.

It would be funny if it goes to korea then right back into china.

>>10590655
It's a small convention room from memory, showcasing products/releases etc.

>>10590600
On Sundays they open the roads to pedestrians. They have a great flea market on Sundays too

>>10590656
Ok u got me, It's like an Anime Scene, looks really cool

>>10590569
+1 for the music

>>10590656
That architecture is amazing in its own right.

>>10590675
You mean that one house 1/3 of the way up?

is it actually smog from China or is it dust from the Gobi? I know Japan sometimes gets dust blown over from there sometimes.

Disney is finished

there's a lot of smog in major cities of the US as well such as new york

>>10590687
Nope Japan is worse

It's just dust? Like a dust storm?

>>10590691
I'm glad I live in the most uneventful place on earth and don't have to put up with that shit.

>>10590676
Yes mainly that one, but I also like the second house to the left of it.
I'm quite fond of asymmetrical roofs.
The varying rooftop styles packed so close together is also nice. I wish I lived in a place like that even if it was a cheap room.

>>10590677

It is desert dust. Fukuoka is being raped by pollution smog but Tokyo is too far away. I am in Osaka and yesterday was yellow sky.

>>10590699
>Sulfur (an acid rain component), soot, ash, carbon monoxide, and other toxic pollutants including heavy metals (such as mercury, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, lead, zinc, copper) and other carcinogens, often accompany the dust storms, as well as viruses, bacteria, fungi, pesticides, antibiotics, asbestos, herbicides, plastic ingredients, combustion products as well as hormone mimicking phthalates.

lol China you're such an asshole

>>10590729
You know Japan tested biological warfare on innocent Chinese villages during WW2, right?

If anything this is payback.

>>10590673
That's fucked up.

Is this the EPIC SMOG CLOUD that they predicted would come over from China in the winter?

>>10590739
I am so god damn sick of this way of thinking, even as a joke.

>>10590673
It looks beautiful. It's like a mix of sunset and a sunny afternoon in a strange way.

>>10590752
if this is how a smog cloud after it travels over the ocean a bit looks imagine how it looks when it's still in china at the source

>>10590739
I still don't get why the present people keep harping on the past.

Besides, without those experiments, medicine wouldn't have progressed that fast.

the ends should never justify the means.

>>10590821
But modern society as a whole is just a big case of people deciding that the ends justify the means. How many people you think get fucked over on a daily basis so that most of us can live comfortably?

That is totally disgusting. What's with Asian countries and Air pollution?

>>10590828
It's what comes of having billions of people and not giving enough of a fuck to pass proper regulations and whatnot to stop people dumping toxic shit everywhere

>>10590824
that is why I said they "should" never justify the means - it happensregardless. society and human beings have never and will never practice perfect morality or ethical actions - impossible. however, we can consciously work to avoid justifying, say, medical advances gained from human vivisection.

Depends on the part you live people.
I'm in Edogawa and can't really see this Yellow Storm thing.

Funny how all these Americans think that it has nothing to do with them. The reason why so much toxic chemicals are in the air is because 80% of Americans e-waste is dumped in china, where it's burned.

You all are responsible for it.

>>10590877
Everything has to do with everyone, don't shift the blame. "If you're not a part of the solution you're part of the problem"

>>10590885
While that's true, what really sickens me about Americans is that they shift the blame to everyone else and constantly pile more shit on everyone else's plates.

>>10590910
Take it easy and please do not bully Ameribros.

>>10590910
Kill the americans

>>10590916
Kill all americans

>>10590916
Oh sure, just let them bully everyone else then.

Looks like Inaba from Shitsona 4.

>>10590877
*researches a bit*

Woah, that's actually true. Yeah, kill the americans.

>>10590941
What sign? Do you know something I don't? Do tell!

Of course I wouldn't be so angry if it weren't for the fact that the media presents China as this monster that just wants to dye the seas black with rubbish.

I don't litter, recycle and hates it when trash all over the streets and most people I know are the same too. The ones who do litter and make the country dirty are those who aren't highly educated, and this will whole true for every other country as well.

>>10590650
This is the norm on Sundays. They always close off the streets in Akihabara for most of the day with all the pedestrian traffic.

like some of the earlier posts said this is beautiful payback. japanese are absolutely disgusting. not only are they revisionist of history they also cower behind america for protection.

japan has island disputes with every neighboring country including russia. whatever they get they deserve since they're only where they're at cause japan is a island navel base for america.


>>10590800
what medicine did japan progress when they were killing chinese? you're seriously a sickening weeeaboo slimeball. japan didn't progress biological weaponry nor did they progress medicine. they just butchered people and poisoned them. western countries did all the advances.

>>10590550
Pretty sure this is the yellow dust that comes from Mongolia and other desert regions in China. It's a spring time event, didn't know it could reach Japan. They would shut down base for the day when I was in S.Korea if it was bad enough.

>>10590998
Angry Chinese detected.

>/jp/ - Japanese bashing

>>10590998
Being brutally honest I think that the japs are the best kind of Asian then maybe Koreans (even through I hate most of their culture).

China is disgusting they didn't created touhou and are mostly commies. yuck.

>>10591017
This was a gud post.

>>10591017
you do realize all american shit is produced in china because of CAPITALISM? what kind shit logic do you have. you aren't even over 18 years old so don't pretend like you're from the red scare era.

japan are the jews of asia. it's perfectly fitting some idiot would post JIDF tumblr image while defending them.

>>10591021
Not really but thanks.

>>10591026
I didn't said anything about that I know 90% of the things are produced in China. I just said that the best ideas are originated in Japan (see Touhou).

Japan are the Jews of Asia sure but their culture, philosophy and beliefs are totally different and more appealing. Let me put it this way Japan is one of the countries that I wouldn't mind if they manged to "conquer the world" I think I would be ok with it.

>>10591046
japan is a society of nepotism and backpatting. their language is stolen and bastardized chinese script and korean words. they also borrowed most of their culture from china too. touhou is the 'best idea' you can come up with? while otaku entertainment is great, i've still got more than 3 braincells left so i can see shinto and being a salaryman isn't actually that amazing.

>>10591017
communism is good.

if I had my own guerrilla communist force of the 21st century, no american would be left alive.

>>10591081
>communism is good.
Please tell me your not serious.

>>10591108
I'm very confused by your post. Whose 'not serious,' and what do you want to do with it?

>>10591081
No because in communism you can't make a career out of Touhou like ZUN. In Capitalism there is people that get paid for playing videogames.

While its not perfect (and it really sucks sometimes) its better. At least when we aren't getting raped by Jews.

>>10591121
No
No

No

you don't understand my communist experiment. please shut up.

>>10591116
>>10591131
I shouldn't have to explain to you why communism, just look at how many times it has failed in the past.
like it or not history repeats its self, regardless what you think.

Communism was never once implemented anywhere, only state capitalism.

the north korea is the only real communist nation on earth. let's take look at how america is compared to north korea.

A country that acts as the world’s biggest factory has severe environmental problems, and the wind does not respect national borders?
Colour me surprised.
The people most fed up with this are the Chinese anyway. If you’ve been following news, the last couple of months there’s been a lot of anger and concern over the environment in China itself.
Problem is you can’t really fix it without gutting important manufacturing. How do you at this point turn such a big economy/workforce to a less polluting one like Japan and Germany did?

>>10591295
simple: Take that shit to Africa

everyone knows China owns like half of Africa

it's not like the Africans are using it

pURE GENIOUS

>>10591303
Their business in Africa is mining mostly, and African regimes tend to not be stable enough to move manufacturing there I think.
Plus that would just make unemployment rise I think. A shift like what happened in the West would turn out worse there than it did.
From their perspective, this insane industrialisation helps speeding up improving the country, because even though most Chinese are still quite poor, they did mage giant leaps in a few decades. So I guess the debate is how long they can use this route before it kills them in the end?
Polluted cities or killing the economy?

>>10591319
why not both? their development is not sustainable if this goes on.

China has been known to change dynasties when the people aren't happy, and the country has never really stepped out of imperialism. The shortest was the Yuan, which only lasted about a 100 years.

>>10591325
The Yuan dynasty were the Mongolian conquerors, but it was not the shortest but one of the most important.
There’s plenty of really short-lived dynasties no one remembers. And the Qin dynasty (first united empire!) only lasted 20 years before the Han dynasty rose.
About that dynasty change thing, there was actually this sense of ‘oh shit what is going to happen now’ after those earthquakes in Sichuan, because that’d be a traditional dynasty fall point so the government was extra wary.
But
>why not both
Maybe not every country can be Japan or Germany, Quality of live in Europe and US improved greatly but our products are made abroad where pollution just goes on. Maybe it is possible to produce and not wreck the environment, but then we will have to kiss our lifestyle goodbye because worth of luxury goods will skyrocket.
And I don’t really see how you can effectively change their economy arond like this, but that’s one of the challenges Xi Jiping faces I guess.

>>10591344
Gosh you're right, I always treated Qin as parted of the Warring states since it was so short lived...

>>10591416
Interestingly, before the Qin dynasty you basically had Confucianists and Legalists trying to push their ideology through, and the Qin Shi Huangdi emperor resolutely chose for legalism.
This meant a short-lived dynasty of bitter repression and harsh physical punishment, lots of body parts were cut in those days.
This had two contradictory long-lasting consequences
— A distaste for legalism in the following dynasties, and a restoration of Confucianism
— The establishment of legalism as a lasting part of Chinese law
In Chinese tradition, law is a barbaric concept taken from the Miao, while their Confucianist culture was all about the importance of rituals, traditions, the lord as a father etc.
But from thereon it was a mix between law and rite. Even with the restoration of confucianism, that legalist basis set in the Qin didn’t go away.

So, there is a double feeling with the Qin. On one hand it is a very important dynasty since it was the first to create a unified state, and Qin Shi Huangdi is credited with a lot of important stuff. But on the other, the dynasty is also seen as an example of terrible cruelty, which a proper confucianist lord would be wise to avoid (see the Han dynasty and any reformer thereafter that tried to go back to the Han dynasty)

>>10591070
>shinto

woah woah woah whats wrong with Shinto?

>>10591410

So somehow Korea escapes the damage?

>>10591552
It's nonsense?

>>10591554

Go on

Shinto is pretty cool even if Meiji state shinto twisted some of it, like the notion that the emperor is an actual god. That shit was not really important before Meiji.

I'm Mr I hate Americans and all I have to say is that every religion have some bullshit factor to it. Like how Confucious is so goddamn sexy or Christian/Jew/Muslim's fanatism. Maybe only Buddhism is kinda cool.

>>10591615
guess you haven't heard of the buddhist terrorist/militants who commit genocide? fanatics come in every form.

>>10591615
>Like how Confucious is so goddamn sexy
What? Confucius ‘being sexy’ is not very important in confucianism.
Which isn’t really a religion unless you count ancestor worship. That’s a religious aspect that is important in Confucianism due to it being a rite, and a proper society respects the rites in their eyes.

>>10591623
Oops. Sexist.

>>10591627
Oh, that makes more sense yes.

Actually promoting 2hu as a great aspect of Jap culture?

>are you fucking kidding me .jpg

>>10591668
Well, 2hu itself is pretty interesting because of the references to/incorporating of Japanese (and Chinese and European) folklore.
So, you know.

there are regulations but you aren't taking into account the chinese mentality (i'm chinese.) they don't give half a shit about the rules and the government is too weak/corrupt too enforce it over such a large population
