'they treat japan like the holy land of everything'
wow...that's quite obtuse

[anonymouslyyours]

Goddamn weeaboos.

You seriously had the opportunity to travel to another country and spent your time being disappointed it wasn't magical anime land?!?

Please tell me at some point you at least tried to appreciate the opportunity for what it was. Lie to me if you have to.

[(Anonymous)]

Please tell them. It was so cringe-worthy to meet weeaboos in Japan and unfortunately I encountered a lot of them. People need to go with realistic expectations to save themselves (and their country) embarrassment and disappointment.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, unless you like Gundam or One Piece, no one knows what you're talking about. Compared to the western culture of screaming weeaboos, the really nerdy people are good at hiding their power level though (in a good way)

[(Anonymous)]

You see anon, this is what happens when you realize actual people live there and that it's not designed purely to cater to your whims.

[(Anonymous)]

That's...kind of why I think people who treat any country that way should really visit the place [and spend more than a couple days/week there] before declaring it's the place they want to live/best place ever. They may really love the place, and adore being there - in which case, no harm done. But they also get a chance to see the country as it actually is, not through media filters that might make it seem different than it really is.

[morieris]

'They treat japan like the holy land of everything' - well, at least they seem to be in it for more than just the anime.

[(Anonymous)]

you need to god damn tell them.

japan is actually kind of a sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic country. and anime and manga is usually for 'children' (depending on what it is), and adults who are huge fans of the shit are usually looked down upon.

[(Anonymous)]

HOLY SHIT, JAPAN'S A REAL COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THINGS OTHER THAN YOUR FAVORITE OBSCURE ANIME. Maybe you should have realized the Japanese have, like, actual lives and interests.

[greenvelvetcake]

And on that day, we crowned OP the ruler of anime hipsters.

[dethtoll]

If I ever went to Japan it'd be to satisfy my cyberpunk fetish.

[forgottenjester]

The secret reminds me of a long rant I read in middle school. The only line I remember from it was, "Japan is a country, not a convention."

Maybe I'm reading your secret wrong but... I think it would apply here. (To more than just your friends.)

[saiika_von_maou]

You're in a country with fantastic history and culture and you're bored by it because people didn't fangasm over anime with you?

...yeah, sure, why the hell not.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Get some less weeaboo friends.

[visp]

Imagine what you'd think of a foreigner who came to the USA because of some favorite obscure TV shows of his and that was all he wanted to talk about. You'd think it was kinda pathetic, wouldn't you?

[(Anonymous)]

If you're an anime fan and couldn't find a way to enjoy your time in the country where your favorite shows got started, I can only assume you're one of the more ignorant, helpless fans in your fandom and assumed because you didn't see merch at the first Animate you walked into, your fandoms must be long forgotten. I can still find Astroboy doujinshi without even looking here ffs.

[tamabonotchi]

Uh oh, it wasn't what you expected and there were actually things not related to manga and anime??

You should tell your friends because they need to get out of the delusions that Japan is their dream country of anime.

[gabzillaz]

Japan is just a country

You mean it's not full of magical girls, everybody isn't fangirling over their favourite shows in every corner and Godzilla doesn't attack Tokyo every week?

I'm so disappointed rn.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, but you didn't know this before? The mainstream shows over there are things like Sazae-san or Chibi Maruko-chan, not obscure late night shows that only otaku watch.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like you were holding it on a pedestal of sorts, as well.

[maverickz3r0]

Wow. That's...pretty narrow-minded of you. Japan has a rich history and culture that you could've explored, and you're upset because you couldn't find stuff for your shows.

I mean, I'm not all 'Japan is the best' or anything but, you got the chance to go to a foreign country and it sounds like you didn't really get anything out of it at all. I feel sorry for you.

[ladyrogue]

Speaking as someone who would love to visit Japan to actually take in the culture/history/art, etc, but doesn't have the money for it right now, you suck. No, really. Next time you want to visit a country because 'omg such and such fandom was made/filmed here', just send your money to me and I'll go instead.

[mekkio]

Count yourself lucky that your were merely disappointed. When the Japanese go to France some get Paris Syndrome because it doesn't meet their romantic fandom expectations.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? 'Nice art and whatever' is all you got out of your Japanese experience? I'm sorry it didn't live up to your unrealistic anime heaven fantasies, but I'm more sorry you were so close minded as to not find more to enjoy there. It's not perfect by any means, but it has so much to offer beyond anime, nice art, and whatever. What a waste of an amazing travel opportunity.

And tell your friends. The more people who have realistic expectations of Japan, the better.
