/jp/ - Otaku Culture

what the butt

>Striped underwear is treated as a symbol of Japanese otaku and well accepted by foreign otaku.

Sorta?

>>Striped underwear is treated as a symbol of Japanese otaku and well accepted by foreign otaku.

Oh really?

>But in reality, it's just a bunch of disgusting otaku from around the world uniting

>>2106577
>Striped underwear is treated as a symbol of Japanese otaku and well accepted by foreign otaku.
I lol'd

Moar translations please

>Vocaloid is going to make this world unite!

>>2106577
quick correction,

>I heard that Striped underwear is treated as a symbol of Japanese otaku and well accepted by foreign otaku.

Sorry, missed the rashii part, I should get some sleep...

brofist for my nippon brothers

I'm trying to google translate the page but why does it only do a chunk of it?

>>2106610

same here, maybe the page is too big

>>2106610

>google translate

>>2106610
>>2106615
How can you be so stupid? Translators can only translate normal text written in html, not flash objects. that would be like using translator engines for your anime jesus christ.

>ルカに新規ファンが付いたと考えていいんだろうかね
So we should take it that luca has attracted originality fans?
>ちょと /jp/のスレ覗いてみたけど、たこルカ人気だなw　
英語版の歌詞らしき物もあったけど、そっちは歌わせてはいないのか
So I checked out the /jp/ thread, it looks like octo-luca is popular over there

And I heard that there are english singer versions, why don't they use those?

Ehhh, I suck at picking out shit. Give me some requests and I might do it for you.

I guess this just proves every country has its fair share of mindless retards with no taste whatsoever.

whoopdeefuckingdoo

>And I heard that there are english singer versions, why don't they use those?

Yeah that guy should make a english version!

>>2106628
They probably didn't realize that most of the text there is in a flash object.

They found it humorous and funny.

Sorry if they aren't sour faggots like you that can't appreciate anything. More proof 2ch is superior than this shithole.

>>2106629

Why are tripfags stupid?

>>2106665
Don't lump me in with avatar-fag. ಠ_ಠ

>で、遠慮の無い感想いくと、

>>2106655

>More proof 2ch is superior than this shithole.

>>2106665
Has to do something with names and such.

If you guys are wondering, these comments are just /jp/ idiots reassuring themselves that what they produced is "GUD" and "accepted" by the Japs.

Honestly, it's the exact same thing as a troll posting in his own thread acting as though he is being trolled from his own comments.

>>2106655
>More proof 2ch is superior than this shithole.

What are you talking about? This is the best board on 4chan. We just have too many tripfags.

>>2106674
ugh..."untuned" is what I meant.

>>2106673

I wouldn't do that. He's infinitely better than you, jackass.

Pretty bad. Just not as bad.

>>2106636

Wait, wut? Flash text?

I just assumed it stopped translating since it was too long (sudden back to cuts back to Japanese around 600 something).

>>2106629
Why is this faggot still here?
proof that there are no mods on /jp/

>>2106679

Haha, oh wow. No.

>>2106697

I wouldn't put it past you guys. I'm just sayin'...

>>2106680
>/jp/
>This is the best board on 4chan

I like this place too but, come on.

We are the dumpster of 4chan and you know that.

Not that I'm criticizing the place but you should at least realize where you're posting.

>>2106687
I'm afraid i have to tell you that programs aren't lazy.

>>2106629
oh god i hate people with avatars (especially here)

>>2106702
but there are still really little amount of newfags and trolls compared to internet shitholes like /v/

>>2106673

What? Are you telling me that instead of being just a regular retarded tripfag this guy is a tripfag who pretends to be a some sort of an animu character?

>>2106716
No way!

>>2106702
Shit you've clearly never been to any of the other boards.
/a/ is shit
/b/ is shit
/v/ is shit
/hc/, /t/ and /h/ are entirely spambots
/mu/ is shit
And no one posts on anything else

>>2106724
/g/
/r9k/
?

Er....so no translation requests? Because I'm going to sleep soon if nobody has any.

>>2106702
That's /b/. /b/ is the shithole of the internet, washington post agreed, don't bother them about it.

>>2106724
A lot of people post on /tg/.

>>2106702
>We are the dumpster of 4chan and you know that.

Really? Look around. People begin sentences using capital letters. No emoticons. No "lol u tk him 2da bar|?". No camwhores or attentionwhores. This is the last good board on 4chan.

>>2106736
Well it's good for people that like VNs and Touhou.

>>2106736
That's not true, I was posting pics of myself earlier.

>>2106729
Just translate whatever you think is interesting. How can people make requests on something they cant even read anyway?

>>2106729

海外からの刺客、4chanPの曲毎時に入ってるね
これから伸びるかは解らないけど、せっかく作ったオリジナルコンテンツが
評価されたようで良かった。

>>2106746
Like this: Oh, that kanji looks pretty cool. It's message must be pretty cool as well.

>>2106736
/tg/ is good too.

/r9k/ is shitty. There's really nothing but a flimsy filter that forces people to end posts with 'LOLMUTEFILTER891284' that seperates it from /b/. At least /b/ prides itself on being shitty, /r9k/ believes it's good, and I can't honestly say which is worse.

>>2106741
I love VNs and Touhous are pretty okay. Anyone who does not share this opinion is probably some idiot who thinks it's cool to hate Japan, anyway.

>>2106752
ಠ_ಠ

>>2106752
I like your logic, aniki.

I don't visit all those other boards.
/jp/ is my basement.

Basic summary of reception

"Sounds really amazing, maybe a fluent speaker helped?"
"Oh lawld touhou is popular over there too"
"Hahaha awesome"
"speaking of stripes, why does the american flag have so many stripes?"
"blah blah 13 colonies blah blah blah"
"ah, blah blah blah Japanese flag blah blah bl ah"
"Good job gaijin"
etc...

Shit's all the same, nothing especially interesting in my eyes. Also, I'm too lazy to search.

Anyway, I'm going to bed.

>>2106702
/an/ is perhaps the most sane board in this hellhole.

>>2106764
Sweet dreams, OP.

>>2106764

So... what makes 2ch so special, again?

>>2106728
Are you implying that /g/ and /r9k/ are good boards or that people post there?
The first option wouldn't make much sense.

>>2106754
>/tg/ is good too.

I agree, although it's filled with tripfags, furfags and circle jerking.

>>2106728
>/g/

Surely you jest.

>>2106764
How can they act like they're so smart and superior when they don't even know about our flag?

This is still the best thing to come out of this jp theme

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dnjmhomjg0u

>>2106736
Spell checkers and shift keys aside, /jp/ is still full of childish individuals and generally poor posters. They might not be attention-whores, but they don't need to be in order to make shitty posts. I don't mean to say that we don't have some genuinely cool people, because we do. However, with each passing day, their voices become just a little bit fainter. /jp/ is still young, but our decay is already apparent.

Yes, there are worse boards, to be sure, but there are certainly better ones as well.

>>2106781
They don't, they're complimenting and not being assholes about it. Stop thinking all of Japan hates you or something.

moot should bring /n/ back. Nothing's wrong with trolling. It's not like they were doing anything illegal.

>>2106768
I tried /an/ one day, but there were females camwhoring with their pets. Had to leave.

>>2106778
But it's tech support.

>>2106773
i dont think that /g/ is THAT bad..

>>2106790
And endless arguing over which OS is superior and countless threads about how awful Macs are. Considering where we are it isn't a bad board, but as a whole it isn't that great.

Somehow i miss religion and physics theads on /jp/ havent seen one in a while. Then again im not online 24/7

>>2106800
Then maybe you should make one.

>>2106800
/r9k/ bro

>>2106806

Fuck you

>>2106806
Tripfag makes a thread = instant shit.

>>2106791
>/jp/ is still full of childish individuals and generally poor posters.

The fact that everyone sages your threads about pig disgusting 3D doesn't mean that /jp/ is full of childish individuals and generally poor posters.

>>2106811
Because you can't post anonymously, right?

>>2106809
Religion threads are /jp/ material.

http://no-info.no-ip.info:6224/cgi-board.pl/jp/reports/
Please compare them to this
http://no-info.no-ip.info:6224/cgi-board.pl/a/reports/

We have far lower post rate, 10% of total number of tripfags, proper use of sage and healthier post activity.
This is safe land, the last place we can go to that can be considered good. You're making a big deal out of it. Check the other archive if you don't believe me, the early days weren't so different.

The anniversary is in two days, I better see some smiles and celebration.

>>2106818
>The anniversary is in two days, I better see some smiles and celebration.
/jp/ is a tsundere board. That will never happen. Enjoy your meta-threads complaining about the state of /jp/.

>>2106809
Religion and physics exist in Japan. I really don't see the problem.

My favorite threads are those about world economics, haven't seen one in a while because people who don't understand what we're talking about report us.

>>2106824
Religion: Nobody cares about it in Japan
Physics: Kicked to the curb

>>2106818
I love statistics yay!

wut

>>2106800

I enjoy those threads where people make irrational comparisons between classics of world literature and VNs. They turn into nice heated arguments about literature.

>>2106833
/jp/ religion = loli.

>>2106827
Intelligent threads on /jp/ are hit or miss these days, and you've got to be lucky enough that some shitmod won't delete the thread.

You faggots need to stop whining about your off-topic threads getting deleted.

>>2106814
First, I generally don't make threads, or even post in the type that you mention. And second, yes, it really does. The fact that you people have bought into your little groupthink so much that you aggressively work to get rid of threads you deem unsightly merely proves my point. Just do as I do, and ignore or hide them.

But go ahead and lump me into whatever imaginary e-faction you'd like. As long as it helps you marginalize valid criticism, so much the better. Sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring upsetting things has always worked for us in the past!

>>2106818
Why is /jp/ updated every 3 days? /a/ every 6 hours?

>>2106842
Classic literature was great when it first came out, now it's copied to oblivion and improved upon. So in my mind classic = nothing but cliche.

>>2106839
Talking about the practicality of the gold standard in modern day economies was fun.

My favorite threads are fig threads, i love to see pics of fig collections.

>>2106851
I agree. In fact, the only classic literature I seem to ever really enjoy is the really old stuff, like epic poems. You don't get much in that style anymore.

>>2106842
I am now reminded of the "ZUN > Vivaldi" thread.

>>2106768
>/an/ is perhaps the most sane board in this hellhole.
Does /an/ still go fucking crazy when you mention declawing?

>>2106867
That thread was probably one of the best we've had in weeks imo. I've taken a liking to Mussorgsky thanks to it.

>>2106853
>But go ahead and lump me into whatever imaginary e-faction you'd like. As long as it helps you marginalize valid criticism, so much the better. Sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring upsetting things has always worked for us in the past!

I know that you believe that what you just posted sounds smart and in some other internet community post like that might lead to group hugs and circe jerking, followed by backstabbing and more circle jerking. But that's not how things work here.

>>2106867
That was fun.

>>2106862
Not Russia, AoC. Yeah, he's hosting another archive, needs updated dumps for better data. Although I saw him complain when I gave him the link for the last sql dump, it seems a simple report takes hours to be queried.
I can confirm, 60 minutes for a simple anonymous/tripfag ratio.

I need you to get Taro, and update the easymodo archive with proper statistical analysis.

>I guess this just proves every country has its fair share of mindless retards with no taste whatsoever.
The ironing is delicious

>>2106867
>"ZUN > Vivaldi" thread.

Haha, oh wow. I remember that. We should have threads like that more often.

>>2106886
He's still correct.

>>2106886
Enjoy your burns.

>>2106882
I don't go to other communities, so I wouldn't know. I do know, however, that circle jerks aren't exactly rare on /jp/. Regardless, pretension and pedantry were never my goals. Nor did I mean to offend you in any way. I specifically avoided mentioning names or examples in my first post to achieve this end. So relax; there's really no need for you to get so defensive.

Yes, community spirit is all fine and dandy, but at some point it's important to acknowledge both our personal flaws and the flaws of /jp/ as a whole. Only then can we work toward fixing them.

I'm done arguing now. Humble sages can only get me so far before I start feeling silly.

>>2106776

The furfags are trolls, and so are the tripfags.

/tg/ does love to jerk itself off at every opportunity, but that's because they know they produce the most original content out of all the boards.

>>2106950
I wish I had /tg/ related hobbies.

It would probably require leaving my house and making friends, though.

>>2107005

Get maptool, son

Play some Dungeons and Dragons

NOW EVEN EASIER WITH FOURTH EDITION

>>2107005
Play dawn of war 2

>>2107022
So is the edition trolling over yet?

>>2107022
It doesn't seem like playing it online would be the same. I used to play D&D and MtG quite a bit back when I wasn't a complete social failure (before I heard of 4chan). There was a comic shop in my town that I would go to all of the time where the owner would let people play whatever they wanted and there always a lot of people, but it died out and he eventually rearranged the store so there's no more room now. I wish people still went there. It wouldn't be hard to meet people then.

>>2107031

For the most part, yeah.

Most people can now make a Fourth Edition thread without LOLSHITTWINKIE sagebombing.

/tg/ actually really likes 4e, but they still have threads honestly discussing why they might not every now and again.

>>2107045

It's the next best thing.

You won't get the mountain dew and cheetos everywhere, though, so that might be a plus.

Buy yeah, Maptool. It really helps to facilitate games when you can't get real people together.

>>2107005
I have this problem too. I used to play when I was in high school, but I haven't known anyone since then who was interested in playing.

>>2107029
According to Wikipedia it won't be released until tomorrow. Are there torrents available?

>>2107053
I suppose I'll look into it then. Thanks.

>>2107061
Yes.
I played the beta the whole time online, it's a nice game.

>>2107084
All right, thanks. I'll give it a try.

>>2107081

Yep. Maptool is what will connect you. You'll still need to make a post on /tg/ to find players/a GM. Don't worry, they'll fall over themselves to play most of the time.

/jp/ is ok. But i think the best thread i read here is Samurai VS Knights. lol at the debates

http://asthenosphere.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2009-02-18-Vocaloid

Apparently the Elevens are linking to /jp/-threads on their blogs now

Suddenly, out of nowhere
Fuck you Akio, you're the worst troll ever

Can someone summarize this thread?

>>2107723
Looks like 2 people to me.

>>2107723
Did you just seriously respond to that?

>>2106680

>What are you talking about? This is the best board on 4chan. We just have too many tripfags.

The best board on 4chan is still worse than 2ch.

>>2107731
He must be Australian.

>>2107742
How do you know this?

>>2107742
>The best board on 4chan is still worse than 2ch.

It's like 2ch is the best board ever existed in the internet eh? lol

>>2107783
He needs to die.

>>2106680
>This is the best board on 4chan

This is what /jp/ actually thinks. /jp/ and /a/ have a similar relationship to that of /r9k/ and /b/. Just because /r9k/ is better than /b/ doesn't mean that it's good or interesting. /jp/ is nowhere near the best board on 4chan, the best board would be one of the boards that have a community of people who actually enjoy discussing the topic they love without resorting to trolling like faggots. Something like /trv/, /tg/, /po/, one of the small boards.

>>2108523
Those boards are fucking boring though.

>>2108523
/r9k/ was good in the beginning but quickly succumbed into the depths of SHIT

Just look at that ridiculous "femanon" bullshit

Just for that alone everybody that posts on /r9k/ should be shot.

>>2108523
/fit/ is the best board?

>>2109920
Most camwhore board on 4chan.

>>2108523
So it's outside of 4chan then?

>>2108523
>one of the boards that have a community of people who actually enjoy discussing the topic they love without resorting to trolling like faggots

/jp/ actually enjoys VNs and Touhou, what's your point?

>>2108523
>have a community of people who actually enjoy discussing the topic they love without resorting to trolling like faggots.
Sounds like /jp/

>>2109949
That would be /fa/

They are so polite, you could learn something from them /jp/ instead of trolling 24/7

>>2109973
/fa/ my god.

I clicked that place a few times, once there was a topic and EVERYONE agreed that wearing fucking shorts was unfashionable and anyone who does should be ashamed of themselves.

I mean, really?

>>2109984
i just looked there the first time..
First thread i see is about ''japanese schoolgirl uniform fashion''
/fa/ is awesome!

>>2109984
Really man.
Shorts?

>>2109984
Dude, shorts really are awful.
Just like wearing sandals with socks.

>>2110000
But I like shorts ;_;

>>2109996
but ok, the thread is just something really, really awful..

>>2110000
I live in a place where it hit 100 degrees in the summer. Shorts are my livelihood

>>2109996
Ah, our friend the investment banker.

>>2110022
"shorts are comfy and easy to wear!"
