/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Anyone wanna help me out? This is a dream of mine that I don't want to give up on.

I want to stick my penis into every part of Ohno.

Sup Ken-sama.

Cool story kid.

btw, I'm 18, and am hoping to get into school at least at 20.

>can't even really afford the standard 10k a year most places I've found charge.
>I need is a cheap university(If possible in or near Tokyo)

That's a hopeless dream kid.

you'll have to pass the entrance exam first, pal

>>3586794

If I could cut it down to atleast 6k I could manage.

lol...

>>3586796

I'm aware of this. I've been doing my research, I just cant seem to find anywhere with a low rate on Tuition.

>>3586788
Get into a college where you are. Get into learning japanese. Get into a spend a year in japan program with a host family and so on.

Meanwhile work where you are until you've saved up enough money or get loans.

Also be smart. If you aren't smart enough to be going into college with at least a few scholarships, you don't belong in Japan.

do you even know japanese?

You're poor. You can't afford -anything- in or near Tokyo.

>>3586799

Just go to a school in the states and do a semester or two studying abroad. Cheaper and you won't be treated as badly as you would otherwise.

>>3586803

I'm already learning Japanese through Rosetta Stone, as well as some text books for writing Kanji that I bought at Barnes and Noble.

>>3586804

I'm learning.

Kid, I'll be honest with you.
Unless you happen to be really smart and got awesome grades, you're fucked. And since you're here, I'm willing to bet you passed by barely.
Your only shot is a scholarship. You won't find anything cheap near Tokyo. Nor tuition, nor rent. So forget about it, apply yourself at a local university, go to Japan on your own terms.
It's not over, you can still somehow work your way and earn a future for yourself by your own hands. Get out of the lower middle-class and surpass your parents. That's the American Way.

OP you're a faggot and have no language skills. You'll never make it.

>>3586807
how the fuck do you expect to be fluent enough to go to college in japan in two years if youre just learning the language now

>>3586807

I lol'd. Reported.

I be frank living in Japan sucks, most apartment landlords are faggots and assholes. Most of them even hates white Americans, they treat them like shit even charge me extra money for "Parking space" which I did not need.

And the walls are fucking thin.

>>3586807
Get into a fucking japanese college class so the teacher can get you into some sort of program and maybe some connections.

>>3586818

I just don't want to do the standard 3 month exchange.

>>3586823
Take it or leave it. There's no other option for you.

>>3586823

Why do you want to go to Japan? If your reason are because of something anime related or such then fuck you and get your life back weeaboo.

>>3586826

That's not guaranteed.

>>3586834
yes, it pretty much is

>underage b&
>Rosetta Stone
>cheap Japanese college

I lol'd

>>3586834
I see a underachieving idiot that needs other people on the internet to research things for him, that can't be arsed to learn the language, and is adamant in his 'dream' when we all know all he is getting is a hard waking into the harsh real world.
Fuck him. All he can hope for is an exchange program, and he doesn't even want that. Fine by me, another weeaboo with broken dreams.

>>3586829

I'm not a weeaboo. Weeaboos are all extroverted Narutards who make shitty amv's and English fandubs, shouting Kawaii every 5 fucking seconds.

>>3586847
That is incorrect.

>>3586847
tell us why you want to live in japan

>>3586847
We're all weeaboo here kid, the only difference is the power level and how we suppress it.

Western colleges are better than japanese ones. You can even meet cute japanese girls at them. Just go to a western college, then transfer into a japanese one later or do graduate studies there.

Hate to break it to you, but even US college exchange programs are hard to manage if you are poor. A standard semester long program costs $15,000-$20,000. If you went to public school with in-state tuition, that is probably over two times more than the amount you pay in tuition.

>>3586851

Because I want to make Manga. I want to start a Circle and have my own booth at Comiket. On top of all that, I've always wanted to go to Japan, ever since I was 10.

We got cable in the house for the first time, and I watched Youjinbou, an Akira Kurosawa film on a movie channel. I've been enthralled with Japanese culture ever since. I started watching anime, reading manga, and buying Japanese games. It wasn't until I turned 16 that I was finally able to start learning Japanese, but I've been serious about this my whole life.

>>3586847
>extroverted
I don't think this means what you think it means.

lol Rosetta Stone and Basic writing books don't cut it for fluent Japanese dialect...also there is no way in hell a weaboo like yourself could manage to get into any Japanese University without the money or the test scores. You don't even know what you want your concentration to be and yet your insisting it has to be a Japanese University lol.

>Thread

>>3586864
Yup, total incontrovertible weeaboo.

You might as well be saying you aren't a pedophile but you still masturbate to little girls.

>>3586864

Weeeeeeaaaabbbbbooooooo

>white
>successful manga author
>acceptance and respect from japanese people

This either has to be a really good trolling attempt or a really retarded weaboo.....

>>3586865

Super outgoing, and likes to be around other people. I'm an Otaku. I am introverted, and I can't stand the Anime crowd of the states. Hell, I'd pick manga over anime any day. And I despise English Dubs.

>>3586876
this. what you need to understand OP, is that as a foreigner the Japanese aren't going to like you

>>3586864
Hahaha, oh kid.
You still have much growing to do. As it is right now, you're nothing but a low tier weeaboo that spouts how he is going to Japan after he graduates from goddamn high school and become a mangaka.
Quick, name american circles in Japan. Or any foreigner that self published a doujin in Comiket. And let's not count that actually get contracted. What's the number? Ah, zero.

Give it up kid. Grow up.

/thread

>>3586880
I've never actually met an extroverted weeaboo

>>3586864
>college
>Comiket
Right...

>>3586880
Weeaboo and otaku are the same thing except otaku are Japanese (which you aren't)! Stop making up definitions to classify yourself as Japanese.

>>3586871

I'm not really a pedo. I like the busty characters, as can be hinted to in my picture.

You will never be Justice.

Someone should tell him how much Mangakas actually get for their salaries lol....

>>3586890
Weeaboos think they're otaku, but they're really just high school aged kids who don't understand the full scope of what the word means.

>>3586890

Urban Dictionary:

Otaku:
Otaku is the honorific word of Taku (home).

Otaku is extremely negative in meaning as it is used to refer to someone who stays at home all the time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)

Usually an otaku person has nothing better to do with their life so they pass the time by watching anime, playing videogames, surfing the internet (otaku is also used to refer to a nerd/hacker/programmer).

In the Western culture, people confuse otaku to be something positive like "Guru". If you think about it, it's not really good to be called a guru if it means you are a total loser who can't socialize with other people except through the Internet.

Other Japanese words which have been confused by Westerners also include but not limited to: Anime, Manga, etc

Weeaboo:
Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total assholes. You can find alot of these faggots clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore. Synonym of wapanese.

>>3586907
>Urban Dictionary

>>3586907
If Urban Dictionary, an upstanding, professional vocabulary resource of international renown, says that it is true, then it must be!

Give Japan a few years and the Japanese are gonna go extinct anyways from the declining birthrate.

>>3586913
It's a close definition nonetheless.
Most people ignore that weeaboo stands for wapanese, and that otaku applies to any life-sapping obsessive hobby. Like anoraks in the UK

It's not like they're a different species.

>>3586925
Who decides that it's a close definition? You? Someone who wants to move to Japan, and make manga and stuff, is a weeaboo.

>>3586925

The difference is I don't claim to be Japanese. Weeaboos go on about how Japanese they are, but I am completely aware of the fact that I am not Japanese, and I know how Gaijin are treated in Japan. I don't have false expectations of being accepted and loved by everyone because I'm white, infact, I expect the exact opposite. Weeaboos use Lucky Star's Patricia Martin as a model of how Americans are treated in Japan, which couldn't be FURTHER from the truth. That doesn't stop me from wanting to go, knowing full and well that I won't be that well liked there, but it'll be better than where I am now.

>>3586932
Don't confuse me for the kid.
I agree, the boy is nothing but a weeaboo in denial.

>>3586946
Sorry, it's hard to tell sometimes.

>>3586941
>it'll be better than where I am now.
Holy shit, it's like Ildara and her Red Stockings.

Weeabros don't need to claim to be Japanese to love Japan. Such a definition is silly and shortsighted.

>>3586941
>I hate my parents! I'm going to Japan to get away from them and be successful!

>>3586789
Same thing bro.

>>3586966

I don't hate my parents. I just don't want to live in Georgia. You try living there for 18 years and say "I want to keep living here the rest of my life". Georgia Sucks!

Here's the thing. I'm going to be finishing up highschool pretty soon, and I want to go to college in Africa. Problem is, I am of the lower middle-class, and can't even really afford the standard 10k a year for vaccinations. My parents don't want to contribute money for me to go to school, and especially don't want me to go to Africa. So what I need is a cheap university(If possible in or near Uganda), an idea of working part time, and how much I could make working there, and any way that would make it possible for me to go to school in Africa.

tl;dr Information help a poor white kid go to college in Africa.

If this is not a troll, then it's damn pathetic.
Too many times have we seen little shits like yourself with dreams of going to Japan and become mangaka once they graduate. It's one of the traits, like wearing headbands and being generally annoying. They all fail, inevitably.
And for a good reason too, they are nothing but human wastes, leeches that don't deserve to live.

>>3586983

Go poaching, you can make a shitload and local officials can be bribed easily.

>>3586978
>Georgia
The state, or the country?

>>3586993

I have not now, nor will I ever wear a headband.

>>3586978
>Georgia.

HA HA HA

You really will be better off in japan.

>>3586983
Buy guns.
Go to Africa.
Sell guns.
???
PROFIT!

>>3587005

The State.

Can you even draw well enough to be a mangaka?

>>3587007
Just because you avoided one of the worst things they do, it doesn't make you any less weeaboo. Or what do you think they did back in the 90's?
Right, you were born then, can't even remember.
The point is, your kind has always been annoying, and always present some repeating patterns. Some things change, like the headbands, others remain, like wanting to go to Japan and become a manga author.

>>3587017
In before "that's why I want to go to college"

>>3587017

I drew this about 3 months ago.

>>3587020

Duh obviously he thinks that they offer a Mangaka Concentration in Japanese Universities with a minor in Anime Appreciation.

>>3587024
ill concede that isnt terrible

>>3587026
FUCK

>>3587024
terrible boobs but better than zun

Props to the Africa copypasta. Now the OP knows how retarded he sounds.

>>3587024
It's not terrible, but it's still not nearly good enough to be a decent mangaka.

>>3587031

Yeah, I did mess up on the breasts, but I inked so I couldn't undo it.

>>3587024
It's bad.
Derivative, lack of knowledge of anatomy, shading jumping around, and flat texture.
Hair is a cardboard cutout, amorphous head. At least you gave her a nose, I'll give you that.

>>3587026
It's funny, because we see the new kids make all the same mistakes that we saw our friends do back when fansubs were on VHS. And we had to walk five miles in the snow to get them.
Some things will never change. Wonder what happened to all those losers back home when they realized their dream meant nothing?

>>3587024
>I drew this about 3 months ago.
>>I drew this yesterday and am making excuses.
or
>>I cannot draw regularly or consistently.

>>3587036

I'm still practicing. I've been using online guides and tips for drawing, but I think my biggest issue right now is drawing scenery, and since I don't have photoshop, I can't do editorial work.

>>3587045
Man, fansubs on VHS. I can't imagine what that was like.

Give it up kid, if you can't even afford education in your own country how do you expect to get it in a foreign country?

Your best bet is to immigrate illegally, living and working in some shady Chinese restaurant for a misery but you'll be living in GLORIOUS NIPPON.

I really hope this guy is trolling. Because he sure seems to be good at it.

>>3586777
Begone you wapanese faggot. The problem with weeaboos such as yourself is that you fail to separate your fantasies from reality. Anime != reality. Real Japanese people hate your guts and they look down on gaijins for leaving their homelands.

Anime, j-pop, and etc... are just hobbies. Learn how to keep your hobbies, fetishes, and infantile beliefs to yourself. Stop trying to bring them into the meatspace.

>>3587024

One of those boobs is lopsided. Other then that, fairly average. Make a lolishootan gaem and become rich enough to be perpetually drunk.

>>3587024

You should make porn or porn games.

>>3587024
The face is too far forward from the back of the head.

Hands are hidden. Not confident with drawing hands?
Try drawing the collarbone's outline. The sweater neck should certainly reveal that much. Collarbones are my fetish.

>>3587056

I don't have a fictional concept of Japan. I just want to go to Comiket and Akihabara, Drink beer at 20, and eat Japanese food all the time. You try finding a decent Japanese restaurant in Georgia with out paying shittons of money on gas, and just eating the food itself. Japanese food isn't as popular as Chinese food.

>>3586807

>I'm already learning Japanese through Rosetta Stone
>learning Japanese through Rosetta Stone
>text books for writing Kanji that I bought at Barnes and Noble.

lol

Frankly, I don't even see the attraction. As a gaijin mangaka, you'll inevitably face great workloads, sharp deadlines, financial hardship, to say nothing of facing racism and social dysfunction (let's face it, the Japanese are a lock-step, xenophobic people).
If you like drawing anime, draw anime, you don't need to make your life complicated by making a career out of it.

Compromise or something: Move to the West coast, or at least out of the fucking Deep South. You'll be better off than Georgia, and frankly better off than in Japan.

>>3587024
Not bad, you definitely have potential, but you've got a road ahead of you (then again, we all do)

>>3587049
>drawing scenery
Don't worry, Kubotite doesn't bother with that either, and look at him now.

you need a reality check of how much basic shit costs, esp in a city

>>3587078
Drink beer at 20? Fuck, move up here and you can drink beer at 19. Plus there are lots of Japanese restaurants. And you can always just take a trip to Japan for comiket, no need to pay to live there.

>>3587074
>Collarbones are my fetish.

>>3587078
>Japanese food isn't as popular as Chinese food.
But it's more popular among pretentious people, and is therefore expensive as hell.
Or does it work the other way?
Anyway, not even Japanese people eat Japanese food all the time.

>>3587065

You know it's funny, I always told myself "I'll probably end up working for an Eroge company, publishing Male Oriented Doujinshi at Comiket".

>>3587070

I drew all the time when I was a kid, but there was a few years where I kind of stopped, but I picked it back up about a year ago. I have an artbook in the house I've been meaning to study.

>>3587095
I wish the series was as good as the OVA.

>>3587103
So, no, you don't.

Stop encouraging the damn weaboo his artwork is terribad. The drawing is something you would see a 14 year old girl do. With forearms that big she could kill a man.

>>3587103

Yeah, every weaboo wants to go to Comiket and make Eroges after watching Genshiken....

>>3587078
Only from americans can drinking beer a 20 sound like a dream.

>>3587114

I was still practicing with proportion at the time.

Hands are still kind of hard for me though, and I cant draw feet at all.

>>3587114
Yes, because every artist who has ever made it has started out drawing material like this.

Surely, no human has improved themselves, ever?

>>3587114
Nah, bro.
14 year old girls are all about "chibis" and bendy trapezoid bodied styles.
Believe me, I have a 14 year old sister, so I'm an expert at this sort of thing.

>>3587116

Who said you had to be 21 to drink anyways...Canadian beer is best.

The Weaboo needs to get a life if he wants to drink at 20 lol

>>3587114

Actually, I know of a 14(I think, fuck I don't know) year old girl who I politely exchanged some art with. Needless to say, mine was far better than hers.

Someone should make an art thread.

>>3587130

Who needs Canadian Beer when there is Belgian Beer? Also, I'm a fan of Sapporo anyway. Good stuff.

>>3587130
Well, drinking is legal starting 16 over here.
Nobody makes a fuss over it, too.

>>3587119
just draw some feet. You're not going to spontaneously become able to draw them.

In Texas and some other states, you can drink alcoholic beverages as long as you're with a drinking age legal guardian.

>>3587130

Vodka was here, Canadian beer is a cunt.

>>3587143
American drinking laws seem so ridiculous.
Putting beer bottles in paper bags anyone ?
Think of the children !

>This thread
Ugh. I need a beer.

lol americans, enjoy having the drinking age 25 soon

>>3587142

I know this, but still, drawing feet, and then drawing feet inside shoes, boots, etc. is a different story all together. When I draw body parts, I start of with block like polygons, and then work in the detail. The head always comes first, and I start with a circle(most people I've seen draw don't do this, causing the hair to either be too small, or too big). Basically, you draw the character bald before adding hair.

>>3587142
not OP here but
I don't know, brah. Just by studying and thinking constantly about an appendage, it can become a lot easier to draw one, even if you haven't really practiced. But as a rule, yes, the only way any artist is going to get good is by drawing vomit after vomit, shit after shit, then you'll get mediocre after mediocre, decent after decent; then someday awesome after awesome. my terrible shit unrelated.

>>3587145

Your a huge pussy if you can't drink both Beer and Vodka.

>>3587158
>Vodka.
Sorry, I'm allergic to a commoner's shit-tier booze.

OP, btw. It's not like I don't drink, I just cant go out and buy it myself.

>>3587024
This isn't that bad, and shows some potential.

What I hate are people who think that all there is to art is perfect anatomy and OMG PHOTOREALISTIC SHADAN. I can see where they're coming from, not liking it, but they act like if you learn the technical skills you'll suddenly be a great artist. It ain't that way.

>>3587162

I'm sure your cheap Grey Goose gets you everywhere.

You still didn't answer my question. No one is going to hire you or publish your stuff. Like how anyone is producer with a quarter for a payphone, I guess anyone with a pencil is a mangaka.

>>3587024
>3 months ago

OP, just give up. If this is the best you can come up with after "years" of practice, you have no chance.

>>3587078

>I don't have a fictional concept of Japan.

Who buys booze for themselves at your age nowadays?! Kid you need to get a life and meet people who can take you places...

>>3587158

>Your a huge pussy if you can't drink both Beer and Vodka.

You're a huge retard if you can't correctly use the English language.

ＡＮＣＩＥＮＴ　ＣＨＩＮＥＳＥ　ＳＥＣＲＥＴ

>>3587165
You're right. It's not all about technical skills. Let's ignore for a second the fact that the OP lacks that.

Art also takes creativity, originality, perseverance, experience, vision, and an ability to transfer images in your head or from your eyes to the paper.

There would be artists everywhere if technical skill was all it took.

>>3587158

>>3587165
>if you learn the technical skills you'll suddenly be a great artist. It ain't that way.
If you learn the technical skills, you'll certainly be a much better artist.


There's also a difference between twisting anatomy for stylistic purposes and twisting anatomy because you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

It's pretty clear the it's the latter in >>3587024.

>>3587169
>Grey Goose
Still shit tier booze.
Get you some scotch, or some rum or gin for god's sake, Vodka is for high schooler house parties.

Are you really this retarded?

>>3587201
READING RAINBOW～

>>3587193
I drink coolers like a man.

>>3587155
You're closer to becoming a mangaka than the OP. If you learned how to draw hands and practiced at slightly simpler perspectives, you'd have something that far outclasses 90% of the tripe on the internet.

Keep at it.

>>3587170

You can easily print up a book in Japan. They have businesses that allow you to self-publish your work. That's how Circles make their Doujinshi. They have publishers print up a certain number of copies, and then those are delivered to Comiket. After paying to print them up, they make up for the loss with profits, if they sell enough. Famous Circles can easily have 12 artists produce 2 pages each, make a 24 page book, with about 3000 copies and sell them at ￥1000 a piece, and not have to do hardly any work at all. After dividing the profit, it doesn't come out to much if you sell out, but if it were 1artist, imagine what their profit would be.

>>3587215
>implying anyone will buy it

>>3587224

No one sells out their first time at Comiket. But if you do it regularly, your fame will slowly build up by word of mouth until you have thousands of fans buying your work, provided you actually can make decent books.

>>3587224
That wasn't his point, he was explaining the ease of self publishing one's work if they had the money and time.

The OP is out of the equation by now. Thread is pretty much over.

>>3587212
to be honest, I'm not interested in becoming a mangaka, I only pursue it as a hobby, and only very transiently at that. At it's core, anime is just a stylized version of realism. If you get good at drawing realistic, non-animu figures, practice anatomy, do the whole 45-second-anatomy sketch thing, you can become good at anime style, you just take realism and apply the stylization to it. What it really takes is motivation, which I aint got nor really care to have.

>>3587237

つまりじゃ、お前は心がない。

>>3587237
You sound a lot like me. Anyway, just force yourself to draw. You might start to enjoy it more if you notice results. My motivation for drawing right now is trying to please /jp/, admittedly a really bad motive, but it's better than nothing at this point.

>>3587254

OP here. I draw to serve my pleasure and hobby. No one else'.

>>3586864
>Because I want to make Manga. I want to start a Circle and have my own booth at Comiket. On top of all that, I've always wanted to go to Japan, ever since I was 10.
Neat dream, bro. That's too stupid of a reason to get to Japan. I'd support you if you're going there to work as an upright 'normal' person but all you give me is this garbage.

>>3587224

How do you reckon all the shitty manga ends up on /rs/?

PROTIP: You cannot afford to publish anything on your own.

>>3587283
>You cannot afford to publish anything on your own.
Why do you think Doujin is written as same (同) person (人)?

OP here again, lol I troll you all. Just goes to prove how pathetic /jp/ is, a sad slop of pessimistic talentless hacks trying to drag any hopeful kid into its mires.

Wow, you really are a weeaboo.
You sound just like Arc Brunestud, getting upset over someone hurting your feelings and then you just try to play it off "LOL I TROLL YOU"

Swing and a miss. Learn your Arc-isms.

Oh man, I knew a girl just like this back in university. Pretty cute blonde freshman, but man she was weeaboo as fuck and always talked about going to Japan and becoming a mangaka. She even had pretty good grades and seemed smart enough about most things.

Back then I didn't really know enough to realize how incredibly naive and unrealistic she was, but it just goes to show how Japanophilic onanism can blind you to the harsh realities about emigrating to a different country where you don't speak the language and don't have any real job skills.

What happened to her in the end?

>>3587625
She committed suicide.

>>3587604
Did she move on and later fucked a dozen guys while getting a job in marketing/accounting?

I'm not actually sure since I haven't exactly bothered keeping up with her after uni, but last time I talked to her she was working at Barnes & Noble or some shit, still drawing bad manga and hoping to get into the JET program or something along those lines.

Probably didn't realize her best chance at living the weeaboo dream was to just hop the next plane to Tokyo and start looking for work at the Roppongi hostess clubs.

I wanna believe this guy is trolling but I've actually met people like this.

This is for everyone who is not OP.

My best advice would be to go to Japan for two years or so and attend language school after graduating high school. All your would be learning is Pajanese. If you are smart it would take even less time. Then you need to take the JLPT (1kyuu or 2kyuu) or that other lame test. If you pass it you will probably be able to attend a pajanese university as an international student. It is apparently much easier to get in than as a normal student (e.g. the test is much easier because you are a dumb american). I believe that a lot of the students doing this will be from asia.

This route is possible and I know people doing it. You would probably be able to do it too if you weren't a weaboo fag.

I'd be more worried about passing admissions test. You'd better prepare for the jlpt and maybe take a gap-year for working up the language. A lot of schools have special intensive Japanese programs just for that purpose, so you might want to try getting in one of those first (they're cheaper, mine is 230,000 a semester).

On a student visa you can work I think somewhere between 15 and 20 hours a week if you do the paperwork. Teaching/tutoring English probably pays the best at ~2000 yen an hour, so you should be able to pay most of your living expenses that way.

All in all, so long as the exchange rate remains favourable (or at least not too bad) it's much cheaper than going to school in the US.

And then there's scholarships too.

My brain hurts now.
