Some good reasons for living in America:
• I don't have to work.
• I already speak the language.
• I could go back to school and it'd be cheap and easy.

I have to agree. Those autismo bucks are really something.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

Because I haven't gotten my degree yet.

[Anonymous No.]

Because Japan isn't cool anymore.

[nght_of !kNGhTSucXc No.]

This.

Why would I want to go to a country that's not the mine, where society is castrating, suicide rates are very high and were most females, deal with it, are ugly.

Also chauvinism.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm pretty sure it's rather difficult if you don't already have a job waiting for you over there.

[Anonymous No.]

The ungrammatical sentence in OP's image begins with a statement that is not true. In fact moving to and living in Japan is expensive. A bachelor degree is required to ensure a source of money and a working visa to get that money.

[Anonymous No.]

The only reason I could see for moving there is better access to otaku goods. And I'm not a buyfag so I don't care much about that.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

Why would you care what the 3D females look like when there's a whole slew of 2D just waiting for you?

[Anonymous No.]

It's extremely difficult to move there permanently.

[nght_of !kNGhTSucXc No.]

>>8129588
Because one day, my friend, I'll seek a female to marry and have children, particullary now I don't feel attracted to the idea nor I prefer the 3D, but I'm sure that the time will arrive and I'd like my children to beautiful and healthy, thing that I don't find in the asian general genepool

Travelfag here

I'm living in a shitty apartment about three miles outside Tokyo already. You jelly?

I wouldn't be if I were you

[Anonymous No.]

I wouldn't be able to keep afloat in their demanding society, especially as a foreigner and a loner. But mostly I haven't moved there because /jp/ says I'm not allowed to like Japan or Japanese people.

[Anonymous No.]

Why would I want to live in Japan?

Enjoy being an outsider (much more-so than if you moved to some other pure western country) and dealing with all of the problems that come with that. (bigots, people not really wanting to get close with you, etc.)

The only pro is that living there for a couple of years would be by far the best way to master the language. Also, travel, but you'd be better served to just fly your ass down to the city of your choice instead of moving over there. And oriental girls if you're into that, but you can likely find them in moderate abundance where you live now.

Your average /jp/er fits better in the west than they would in Japan.

Most of their problems are internal.

If they learned to take care of themselves and practiced their social skills (training your social skills is just like training your body, your academic skills, your work skills, and most anything else; they get sharper with practice, and gradually dull when they fall out of use), they could join the ranks of society.

If you moved to Japan, your problems would be external. There's going to be people who just don't want you there regardless of what you do, and many others still are going to keep their distance simply because you're not of Japanese heritage. If you thought that you had an uphill battle sitting in front of you at home...

Or you could be awesome and break through all their bullshit, no seriously, here people is kinda racist, specially with south americans but if someone is charismatic or/and cheerful enough even the old racist fucks greet them, this would be useful if any of you were half decent, don't talk about awesomeness.

I could join the ranks of American society or people would keep their distance. OH SHIT I CAN'T DECIDE! The ranks of American society are so fucking awesome. I'd be missing out.

Think about all the kick ass American culture I wouldn't know and all the benefits of being an American.

Americans have no corrupt politicians.
Americans are racially superior and have a much better culture.
World War 2. 'Nuff said, Budday!
Japanese is so haaard. ;_;
You'd have to change the way you do things. That's awful!
You wouldn't be a supastar like you are in America. You'd be not just a nerd. Now you'd be a DOUBLE NERD and face the worst punishment in the universe: people keeping their distance from you.
You can't do it. You're nothing with America.
You don't want socialized health care.

Um, but it IS difficult, silly troll, and you'd be in with all the normal immigrant scrubs, even if you had an education (and you see that smelly-as-hell guy from India, the one with the doglike eyes that glow in the dark if he's out in front of some car headlights? And that occasionally does shit like growl? Even he has a phd or some shit), and it's during a depression.

Fuck it.

Don't travel right now unless you're explicitly on vacation, and MUST travel to be pleased with your vacation, and you plan your trip all out incl. taking a really good tourist pre-travel course, or you're in your university's "study-abroad" program because you actually do qualify for it.

Even in "the west" there's too much work and not enough money to pay for it. Which means that if you're non-employed and not a mother of two, even if you live in a "socialist paradise," you will at some point in the next ten years be conscripted to do work for free in exchange for army rations and not going to prison to do hard labor for free.

No point. The rooms in japan are so small that you would not have place to pose the goods.
You still need to ship them back to your home country when you leave japan. In the end they will cost about the same as buying them from amiami.

what this guy said but then there's what >>8130629 said. I already feel awkward enough when I go out and being a 6 ft tall white guy in a country full of japs would be even worse.

Quite a bit of different opinions here.....

I'd say.... Japan is definitely not perfect. This can be said about any country though.

My very short experience living here so far has shown me a few things:

1. Being a foreigner, you are able to fly through alot of expectations that Japanese people have on themselves. This can be viewed as good and bad, all depending on what point of view you look at it from.

On one hand, you CAN become accepted into their culture in regards to friends and families. The MAJORITY of the country will recognize you as gaijin, but can you blame them? How are they supposed to know if a gaijin is proficient in Japanese at first glance? Usually, they don't until they talk to you.

2. People really are alot nicer here than one gives them credit for. UNFORTUNATELY, this niceness can create sluggishness in processes due to the 'group thought' mentality. Yet again, this can bother people depending on what perspective its taken in as.

3. Japan really likes its processes. Japan is actually quite efficient when it comes to process tasks, but asking anything outside of those tasks causes difficulty (because of No. 2).

4. If you suck at reading between the lines in terms of communication, you will fail here horribly. Its not necessarily a battle of tedious observations, but just thinking out a bit more of what your actions will do. Sometimes, not even the Japanese understand this completely.

In general, to each his own. I personally am loving japan so far, but I've met quite a few ALT's who absolutely HATE it because they are unwilling to adapt.

["iluvOP !ge9bznqAsg No.]

Too poor and cant NEET around if I do it so no.

[nght_of !kNGhTSucXc No.]

Ok, why don't we create a program called:

Adopt an Otaku

commercial:

              -Are you tired of your castrating country?
-Women think you are a loser?
-Tired of people despising you?

! This is YOUR CHANCE!!!!!!

>Come to america and be adopted by a caring and loving american that will care for you, provide food, home and basic expenses.
//Hope you people have enough NEET money.

Once we have enough of them they should start creating OC and interacting just provide the guys with internet, we could gather them 2 times a year somewhere and simulate comikets.
Also they will start to interact and create a society, like in big cities, we would have a chinatown, little italy, otaku Shakai no (society).

(Get Meiling to traduce this)

So here we go:

Pros:
›We don't have to go to Japan to enjoy true otaku life.
›OC made near us.
›We'll become a bigger colective (sorry hipsters)

Cons:
›Dumb.
›Economically exhausting.
›Not all them will be glad once they met the cold reality that await's here.
›/jp/ mansion was first.
›Again is damn dumb.
›ching chong we arr rook the same.
›Nothing is 100%, even more, it's likely to fail.
›You can't bring people anywhere so easily.
›We won't get any top tiers like ZUN, just the ones that weren't able to stay as otaku in their country.
›Chauvinism

I will stop now because I realized how much cons I already wrote.

Implying its a necessity to live in downtown Tokyo where the rent and sizes are horrible.

Rent appears to be just fine here, though it would be crazy good if the yen were weaker.

Where are you gonna stay if you have work near Roppongi or Central Tokyo?
Are you really gonna stay far far away at the end of the trainline at kanagawa where you have to commute close to 2hour everyday in a cram train?
Japan already have a long working hour and on top of your commuting time, you will have basically zero free time.
Disregard this if you are doing JET and teaching english at some suburbs.

I decided to quit and go back to NEET root after c81.
Even though I can make a net income of 400k yen after paying for my food, rent and transportation, Japan is just not an enjoyable place to live in.
Sad thing is I would be leaving the country before the winter wonfest.

Not everyone can work at lemon, live in enoshima with squid girl and see mt fuji everyday.

When I was little my father got an au pair from Japan. When she arrived to live with us she was excited and wanted to teach me kanji traditionally with a brush and paint. At the time I was mad at my father so I rejected her too ;_; for eventually started to cry all the time and had to go back to Japan. She was really cute and her name was Naho.
