/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

Hey, are Toho and Touhou pronounced differently?

[Anonymous No.]

>>43860920
Nope, same shit just romanised differently. The only possible difference between the two would be a change in intonation, I'm pretty sure not but I don't know where to check.

[Anonymous No.]

I sometimes read Touhou as the anglicized (incorrect) pronounciation

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck, you just reminded me to rewatch old Godzilla movies. Kinda sucks that you never see Kaiju threads on /jp/

[Anonymous No.]

>>43861507
some newbs sometimes even pronounce it "2hoo" lol

[Anonymous No.]

>>43860920
In this case no since they're the same word but romanized differently but toho and touhou(double O sound) would be different

[Anonymous No.]

>>43861523
Like it or not it is /m/.

Could mechas be considered otaku culture or mechas enthusiasts are their own breed of nerds?

[Anonymous No.]

>>43866274
Both. /jp/ does have an occasional Gojira or Kaiju thread but they are short lived as there are only a handful of people here into it.

Imagine a touhou game where instead of cute girls Reimu beats up Kaijus and Mechas.

/m/'s been kind of bitchy lately.
>Ultraman doesn't count as /m/! He's not a machine!
>Godzilla isn't /m/! He's not a mech!

Those are a bunch of cocksucking newfags who don't know exactly what they are there for besides bitching about the Witch From Mercury "Th-This show is Leddit and the CIA and shit be making us watch it I don't like it so I post in every thread bawwwinnggg about it".

Idiots bitching about tokusatsu and kaiju not being /m/-related were already a thing on 10 years ago. Just ignore them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>43867117
Just make a thread discussing Mechagodzilla and watch them shit themselves

[Anonymous No.]

>>43866274
Probably the latter, but at the same time /m/ seeps into everything, be it straight up robots or toku. Not even Touhou is safe, and that's usually the thing that seeps into everything else.

Back in 2019 when I last went to a convention and asked every anime-affiliated vendor whether or not they had Touhou merch, 80% didn't know what I meant and the other 20% thought I meant Toho, so they showed me some Godzilla figurine from the 80's or something

Why did you ask a anime-affiliated vendor for a video game series merch?

[Anonymous No.]

>>43868056
Funny and original!

Because there were no vendors strictly dedicated to Japanese video game merchandise. Of course ones that tended towards Japan-dominated video games I asked as well

[Anonymous No.]

>>43860920
Nope, they're pronounced the exact same way
>TOHO (トウホウ)
>東方 (とうほう)

>>43868033
Maybe you should'a said "Touhou Project"

[Anonymous No.]

>>43871197
thought so too, but still doubt they would know
those people are typically only familiar with the most popular stuff anyway

Used to be more or less synonymous with anime otaku, it's kinda strange such a question would have to be asked nowadays.

I started to halfway through, especially if they showed any sign of hesitation about what exactly I was saying

[Anonymous No.]

>>43860920
same like "TOE-HOE"

There's a Touhou game on Steam that has your waifus beating up mechas. Check out "Touhou Mechanical Scrollery".

[Anonymous No.]

>>43877878
didn't that game turn out to be a pile of dogshit?

[Anonymous No.]

>>43878027
Never played it, so I wouldn't know. I recommend playing "Touhou Mistya's Izakaya", developed by a team of Chinese fans.

[Anonymous No.]

>>43878045
China is a scourge on Japanese culture, avoid at all costs

[Anonymous No.]

>>43868033
try again now

[Anonymous No.]

>>43878063
I also am politically, racially and ideologically oposed to China, however "Mistya's Izakaya" is a great game. At least check it out, anon comrade.

anime and therefore mecha is otaku culture
tokusatsu is also otaku culture

Without China, Japanese culture would be Jomon mud huts.
