I need to know more about both Japanese culture and Otaku culture.

I hope this board is friendly to such questions. I've only watched a few shonen anime when I was a kid. I'm not very well-versed in the culture.

I've already read all TVTropes pages considering Japanese and "Japanophile" people. I need more. Anything fellas?

Welcome, new user to /jp/ - Japan/General! Hah, just kidding, this isn't Japan/General. This is Touhou/Visual Novels/Doujin Games.

If you want to discuss the different places you can visit in Japan, I suggest you go to /trv/ (though they also seem to hate Japan there, so don't annoy them too much). If you want to discuss the Japanese language, go to /lang/ (yes, 4chan has text boards!). If you want to discuss anime and manga, go to /a/ (some series that are based on light novels/VNs/games like Marimite and Higurashi can also be discussed in /jp/, it really depends, so lurk a bit to see what's acceptable). Finally, if you want to talk about Japanese history and culture, go somewhere else, nobody here knows or cares for that stuff.

/jp/ was created as a board to get rid of Touhou and visual novels from /a/, it was never intended to be a board about Japanese culture. Most of the users here don't care about Japan, we only care about lolis and doujin games.

Read the Wikipedia page on otaku and then read all the English-language references. Then read all the Wikipedia pages on Japanese culture. Find some good references and read those too.

Yeah, so why the board title reads /jp/-Otaku culture?

>>10905211
I've already done that.

Care to be a bit more specific on what your asking for?
Just general info on japan and otaku? I mean- i think general info would be something google/wiki should be able to provide, or maybe just some lurking.
Once you are looking for something more specific, ask here if appropriate.
