I mean, it's not like it's an absolute, but yeah, a decent amount of Japanese people like American comics/cartoons, some being really really into them.
Not to speak as if I'm an expert, but, yeah, they have sub-communities and everything, either for specific shows or just western animation, in general.
Less talk, more bkub

Reminds me of over the weekend when I went to a Toho Cinemas and the girl behind the counter had no idea what "popcorn" meant. Apparently there you're supposed to pronounce it starting with a "Poe" instead of "Paw".
we posting bkubs?
>>82303603
It wouldn't hurt
>>82303052
this is amazing
>>82303570
Are you a New Englander? It's Pāhp not Pawp/Paup.
>>82303570
yeah the weird way we use the letter O has always confused asians
>>82303570
Who the fuck pronounces popcorn as pawpcorn? Popcorn doesn't make a PAWP sound like a fucking Superman comic when it's made. Are you retarded?
>>82303688
most americans dont distinguish between the open-mouthed ah and the close-mouthed throaty auww
neither do japanese. in her case she was expecting popokan. as if it rhymed with popotan.. they probably think it's sunflower seeds.. tanpopo no tane
>>82303603
>>82303730
or maybe popukon. which sounds like some fetish
All I ask for in life is a half-hour Touhou animation split into 15 minute segments of bkub and karaagetarou, is that so much to ask?
>>82302408
I don't get this picture.
>>82304173
My guess was that she is waiting for something to come out and then smash it? But I'm a little in the dark here too.
>>82304173
>>82304292
She's gonna destroy the house in 30 minutes. There's no sense of fear or urgency aftet 20 minutes have pased because it's taking so damn long.
>ywn be funny and talented enough to make your own good 4komas

>>82303713
It makes a pop sound. Not a pope sound.
>>82304385
I never said it made a pope sound. It sure as hell doesn't make a pawp sound though, unless you're Forrest Gump.
>>82304385
>not eating popecorn

>>82304459
again, there is no difference in either of the languages in question. paw with a p at the end is pop. ask literally anyone in america.

Wait...seriously?
It's a cuckoo clock. When the bird comes out to tweet, she will smash it.
It is true that most cuckoo clocks don't tweet on the half hour though but I think some do or maybe part of the joke is that she is retarded and doesn't know when the bird will come out.
>>82304811
I thought all cuckoo clocks had a circular door.
>>82304894

>>82302255
It depends. Some are really into it, but for the most part, they are into it in the most casual way possible. Most folks just know the Marvel and DC movies and there's their frame of reference. Like, if there's a depiction of Batman, it's often "Bat-armor" like TDK or Arkham.
I would even say that the images and logos of the characters are more significant here than the actual books and characters themselves. I see t-shirts, logos and bags everywhere and if you ask em if they like it they'll say "yeah" but if you ask them if they've seen/read anything, there's a good chance they'll say "no."

>>82306423This too.
>>82306224
So Dr. Manhattan perceives the nature of their universe, and convinces everyone of the urgency of keeping Haruhi amused. They stage an elaborate crime wave, and stop it themselves very publicly in order to do so. Then Haruhi decides she wants to fight crime too, so suddenly there is a new super hero with super powers just to mentor her. They genuinely get to the bottom of the crime wave, and end up having to fight the Watchmen. In the end, a terrified and beaten Dr. Manhattan starts spilling secrets to try to reason with Haruhi. Things she can't accept. The next morning, Watchmen was never a thing.

>>82306265
Watching the first season in its broadcast order was what made it great for me; characters hinting to things that chronologically had already happened but wouldn't be seen until a later episode, it was almost like stream of consciousness storytelling.
2nd season was fried dogshit, though.
>>82307070
Because noting is pure in Japan.
It's like a horrific fusion of /a/, /x/, and /d/.
The subplot with the SCP foundation is what makes it so good.
But hey, at least it's not Viva Freedom.
>>82306685
>>82306494
I stopped watching season 2 after three episodes, did they seriously pull the same dumb murderbot twist with Asakura again? It was the weakest shit the first time, why do it twice?
>>82307378
Basically the world gets changed into a world where no one has any powers.
Asakura is just Yuki's classmate. But apparently she's still psycho even as a normal person.
>>82307378
That's from the movie, what's funny is that it's easily the best thing to ever come out of the franchise.

Aren't those two things just bullshitty "science" explanations when they can't use the word magic?
Gensokyo is a magic place so it does need shit terms such as pymparticles/speedforce applied to it.

I was thinking of it more like in comic book terms where they have a power but then the definition can be warped to the point they can do anything.

Kyon is a retired magical girl in the omnipotent stage of her powers. She is male in this world because Haruhi is straight, and she loves Haruhi.
>>82308560
There are non-loli subsections, though.
>>82309928
The great thing about the vague powers is it makes "who would win" and powerlevel discussions useless. Last time I checked, /jp/ hates touhou powerlevel threads because it's all speculation.
Plus in Gensokyo the rules of bullet hell battles are made so a weak character can stand a chance against a powerful one.
>>82309006
>he doesn't exactly have danmaku powers or can fly.
He does so. And he's got the dodging game to face such powers. And most of the place is wooded. He'd just have terrain limitations, like some 2hu do already.

Fuck off. Haruhi is good shit but i do agree that season 2 was pretty shit mostly because endles eight.

it's a weeaboo fantasy to think japanese people are big fans of western stuff
>>82314026
Most western people aren't weeaboos either it's just a small group either way.
>>82311991
Yeah, I really like the idea of the spellcard rules
I dunno about the mainstream (though I hear South Park, Doctor Who and Red Dwarf have all been popular for ages), but proto-Gainax sure worked a lot of western pop culture references into the Daicon IV short.

It depends. Yoshitaka Amano grew up a big fan of western stuff, which is why most of the iconic characters he invented are the Japanese equivalent of cape-shit.

It feels like x-men or avenger academy done right in many ways. Like the world is way more believable because it feels adjusted to the idea of there being a lot of super human people. Of course there would be some kind of register and multiple schools, there is no way stuff could work without such a thing plus there is just so much money to be made
It also just does simple cliches so well that they feel entertaining again
>>82308347Subtle.
>>82311537
IIRC otakus got in canned because one of the voice actresses said they were creepy.
>>82312229
Endless 8 was absolute god tier trolling, if you don't like it that's because you feel they were laughing specfically at you.

What is this
>>82317451
I've seen a lot of fanart of Deadpool in particular. Don't know if he's really popular overall or if he's just popular with the Westaboos.
And wasn't Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt inspired by Drawn Together?
>>82303103
More like
'Amboiguh
>>82317528
No, it was more influenced by 90's cartoons specifically Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab if I remember correctly. The lewdness came from a meeting where everyone was drunk and someone came up with the concept of slutty angels and everyone ran with it.
>>82317584
I'd believe it, I've just heard multiple versions of that story.
>>82317528

>>82317528
You're right.
>Hiromi Wakabayashi, who provided the initial idea for the series, cited American adult animation, such as Drawn Together, as inspiration for the show's crudeness.
I think the story went that Gainax for whatever reason was visiting Pixar's studios in the US. When they were at the hotel flipping channels they encountered Drawn Together and the rest is history.
>>82316571

>>82302255
>Do Japanese people like American comics/cartoons?
Well they fucking love anything Disney. Notably Stitch is way more popular there than here.
I remember reading articles about how superheroes, meanwhile, are notably far, far less popular in Japan. With various theories about why that might be.
Not that no one there loves superheroes but if you asked, "Does Japan like American Disney cartoons," probably most people there do, while if you ask, "Does Japan like American superhero comics," that's a tiny, tiny niche group.
>>82319900
I like to picture Japanese Internet discussions as a sort of bizarro 4chan. Someone is discussing a Japanese version of an American show when someone bursts in to complain that the voices are atrocious and someone with REAL taste watches it in the original Glorious English, where the REAL good voice actors are. And a tiny, niche group posts smug super hero reaction images, which annoys the rest.
>>82314217
Kind of a niche audience for that one. Had to read the title to even recognize it was ffxiv.
>>82320014

This actually happens
>>82305985
>mfw 4chan, Densha Otoko, and Furi Kuri have all referenced the same old Japanese convention music video
>>82317478
Basically what would become Gainax made a series of videos for a big Japanese sci-fi/fantasy convention.

>>82307360

Hero-man still exists, but really I think Jojo transcends cultures
>>82317528
I think Deadpool is pretty popular there. They make figures of a lot of the MCU characters but they announced a figma and nendoroid of comic Deadpool which is pretty unusual.
>>82325066
Did you know that Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series has a huge Japanese fanbase and gets its own annotated fansub? So does South Park.
The bigger TV series get better dubbing.
>>82305759
>>82305640
Baooh! Is based
Fuck hack Snyders reboot
>>82328684
Jojo is the most of wherever it happens to be.
The parts that are set in America are pretty damn American. The Italian parts are extremely Italian. The Egyptians parts are Egypt as fuck.
That's because Araki rarely draws any real life location that he hasn't been to himself. I'm sure that he has at the very least personally been to Egypt, Italy and Floria before writing and drawing Parts 3, 5 and 6.

English is also studied seriously by anyone with aspirations there, so there's that angle to it. Stop being a lazy fuck, and watch your American shows in English. Your parents would be ashamed, etc.

Fun fact, they initially wanted to sell cassettes with that video on it in the US as part of some kind of promotion. Every company owning characters in it were fine with it at the time except Playboy, who are apparently petty dicks.

I'd like to believe somewhere some Japanese schoolgirl is watching The Sopranos and wetting herself to Tony-sama.
