lmao, literally shit taste

She's closer to their culture than you are.
Japanese people, atleast the majority hate jpop and consider anime to be creepy/pedophilic behaviour, especially when watched by adult males.
They also despise foreigners who only come to japan for anime.
>Japanese culture
>Jpop
you're fucking with me, right?
>>26314128
Jpop means Japanese pop music, as in popular music, as in music that people commonly listen to.
Anime is watched by mainstream audiences, and so-called otaku anime is much more popular and accepted than it was in the past.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-12-01/hello-kitty-cafe-teams-up-with-monogatari-series/.81627
As for "pedophilic," the members of popular idol groups are about the same age as most anime characters.
>>26314196
Jpop music is made to appeal to western audiences, not japanese people.
Anime is watched by mainstream audiences, e.g kids who watch shounen like One Piece or Naruto, not the ecchi weird shit that makes up 80% of anime, even then watching One Piece/Naruto as an adult makes you look creepy to japanese adults.
Westerners who come to japan for anime are considered as weeaboo/otaku, and are despised by the majority of Japan who doesn't watch cartoons.
>>26313620
>Edo
>Not Showa period
Edo is fedora: the period.
>>26314153
>Jpop
>Japanese pop
Are you mixing up Kpop or something?
>>26314232
Jpop has virtually no presence in Western markets, and the Japanese music industry in general is very difficult about doing business outside Japan (which I think is a big reason why Kpop has become much more successful internationally).
>not the ecchi weird shit that makes up 80% of anime
The real percentage is closer to 10%, and I didn't say mainstream audiences watch that kind of anime. I was indeed referring to shows like One Piece, but also shows like Sazae-san, Crayon-chan, Doraemon, Conan and Lupin III, and movies like Ghibli's and Mamoru Hosoda's.
And as I just explained to you, with examples, so-called otaku anime has become more popular and acceptable. It's no different from how "geek culture" has become mainstream in the West.

anime is as much a part of japanese culture as having sexual experiences at band camp is of american culture
Yes because that's all Japan is known for...

Liking Japan for its anime and Jpop is the same as liking America for Kardashians and Justin Beiber.

You must be joking. The amount of girls I know who desperately clamour for a year in New York (I live in the UK) because they like Friends is ridiculous. Fuck I know one who took a degree in law because she liked the film Legally Blonde. Don't expect rational decisions from girls.

>>26314532
Anime is not just late night shows aimed at a small audience, and that kind of anime has only been around (on television) for twenty years at most. And even some of those late night shows become popular.
It's also not correct to talk about anime as just its own thing, because a lot of anime is derived from manga which is much more popular than any anime. There are tons of live action adaptations of manga too.
>>26313475
Maybe so.
But you know what? She'll still go, still have "an amazing time," and still continue succeeding at life because she is a stacy and the world gives a fuck about her.
If she falls face down in the middle of the street someone will immediately come to her aid.

yeah, its also morning shows aimed at literal children
whats your point
>>26314522
>>26314556
The Heian period is underrated Tbh.
>>26314895
I was responding to posts implying that anime consists of just late night shows aimed at a small audience, so my point was that this is not the case.
Aside from late night shows and morning shows aimed at children there are also more general audience shows like Space Brothers, Kyoukai no Rinne, Gundam, Kindaichi and Arslan Senki and Haikyuu.
I'm going to Japan for six months for an internship next year. I know next to nothing about Japanese culture and have never watched a single animu in my entire life.

Commit seppuku pls

Althought what you mentioned is common. She's never heard of hiragana. That's hardly excusable.

Get the fuck out weeb
When my sister watched shark week she started to tell people that she was an expert on sharks. It used to make me so annoyed.

That's like saying you have to have watched spongebob if you like western culture.
>>26315688
Well next time I would advise you to at least put the word you're talking about into google. Hiragana is the most basic japanese alphabet. It's not an anime.
>>26315288
How the fuck would you know when you haven't experienced living through those eras?

Please don't just assume that other people aren't time travelers. It's insensitive.

Still waiting for someone to answer this question by the way. Japanese people and Japanese things are accused of being "weeb" so often, yet nobody ever explains how that's supposed to work.

Anyway the Nippon isn't that different that rest of the world. There are people who hate anime, and there are people who like anime. But I guess the "kawaii" plays a big role in their marketing, just look at their weebo version of whatsapp called Line.

Do they actually use Hiragana in Japan? My teacher implied that was only for children and American piggu. Thought they used katakana/kanji most places.
>>26317977
Yes, they use it all the time for conjugating and shit
