Keep that sass mouth up and I'll treat you to something else.
So what is everyone's favorite anime character?
>>355
I couldn't tell you to be honest. I don't watch enough animu.
Now manga character... I couldn't tell you either. So many to choose from. orz
SAILORMOON
>>355
As for me, it's Motoko Kusanagi!

What about Akagi, I feel like he's kind of cooler. I like Rei personally. w
>>363
Speaking of Rei and speaking of cool, she is as cold as ice.

>>366
In that case, can we be friends?
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1234150198?index_top_osusume_thumb Also let's watch this cute nicovideo.
>>367
We can certainly be friends!
Only first I must get a nicovideo account. I've been meaning to do this for well over a year.
I've had a Nico account before it was cool to have one.
>>373
When Nico first debuted and people were going gay for it on /a/, I signed up for one then.
>>370
You can also use this ghetto redirector: http://mmcafe.com/nico.html
You're still better off with an account. (I don't understand this policy of requiring accounts. Say what you will about the idiocy of web 2.1.8, but you'd never see such bullshit happening in an english-speaking website).
>>371
Okay I have applied for one I'm just waiting on the e-mail.
I want to understand the ways of speaking in JAPANLANDIA.
>>379
I think I'm going to pick Japanese back up. I want to be able to read 2ch and futaba basically. That's a good reason right?
>>379
If you watch enough fansubbed anime you will learn as if by magic!
Haha just kidding, you're going to have to either get a tutor or put in a lot of hours studying by yourself.
>>381
I had a tutor for about two years and have been to Japan which helped. I know a good amount but I stopped studying for at least 6 months. I need to find some way to launch myself back into it without starting up expensive lessons again. orz
> lot of hours studying by yourself.
I have to warn you, I have been learning English all by myself and now I am in like pro, bro.
But seriously, tutors suck. It's all too slow (I mean, really slow) and boring and you have to pay for it. I think that the reason why people choose tutors is that they provide some kind of motivation. I devote some time each day for learning Japanese, but I doubt that a regular person would think "oh, such a great weather, let's read some language books!".
>>380
That's the reason why I'm learning Japanese. When we're ready, we could pretend we're both Japanese ans write Japanese e-mails to each other and to real Japanese VIPPERS wwwwww.
I wonder if it'd be possible to pick it up mostly by reading stuff on the internet (with suitable Firefox extensions to ease up looking up stuff). Not the most time-efficient way, but at least, not boring. That's how I learned English, and it worked quite well for me.
>>384
I think we should make a Japanese learning thread. We can all keep up with each others progress and test our Japanese on each other. Then when we're ready we can start bringing over new kopipe and stuff from 2ch.
>>385
Well, that's not really a bad idea, but it needs a few tweaks. One actually; just learn the basics in a regular way. Books, tutor, whatever. It makes it easier to make things out when you know what they're made of.
This method has my friend's [STAR ★ OF ★ RECOMMENDATION]!
>>386
Didn't we have such thread? Or was it at 4-ch? Or world4ch?
>>388
That's 4-ch. I think. Someone please make it as I am too shy and inexperienced in Japanese learning. w
>>389
I will, as soon I'm done with real-life (oh no!). Which will be about a week.
I keep telling to myself think that if your objective is to be able to read stuff aided with references, and to communicate in speech or through computers, then learning Japanese stops being some sort of "lifetime achievement" and becomes no more menacing than English or Spanish. I think remembering kanjis and being able to handwrite them is not that important when you're not learning a language for business or to live a long time in that country. Maybe that's just a convenient lie I need so that someday I'll finally stop consider learning it and just get fucking started.
There's that girl I've never seen, but we've been e-mailing each other for over a year. Would going with her to Japan would be a bad idea?
>>392
Possibly. More details as to what she is like, what she looks like, etc.
>>392
Well, if things don't go right with her, you could always bail out on her and still have fun in the country.

>>393
I have seen (what she claims to be) her photos. She's kawaii. But she's only a friend, nothing more.
She's the same age as I am, she has the same problems, etc.; save some minor details (like planning her life too much ahead and holding on to some silly traditions too tightly), she could be considered VIP QUALITY.
>>398
I don't get it when people say "she's only a friend". If there's a boy and a girl of similar age, with similar interests, ability to have conversations over a long time, and the boy even admits the girl is cute, why not go for her? Is the boy ashamed? Is there something bad about her that he doesn't want to admit? If not, what's wrong? There's nothing wrong with professing feelings for someone or something. There IS something wrong with repressing those urges, though.

Maybe he's so afraid of being alone that the moment he confesses, it'll ruin everything. Or that's how I'd feel in that situation.
>>400
I'm ugly, also, I have never thought of anything more than a friend, also, she lives 500km away from me and it wouldn't work.
>>404
I wish I was a girl so I could marry you and take care of you. This may sound odd but I'm sort of serious.
>>400
For a moment I read "professional interest" and my mind was blown into smithereens.
>>400
I have a good friend, whom of which is girl, also of whom has more in common with me than with her current boyfriend. However, I would not initiate a relationship with her, or any other girl for that matter, simply because it would be a burden to have one. Thus I am content with not forcing myself on her for some stupid reason, such as loneliness and desperation. I VIP alone.
I feel bad. Bad.
The power is dead. I have 22 minutes left. I love you all, VIPPERS.
I can feel it fleeting. Do not leave me, electricity!
I think that is how the death-row inmates feel. Then end is nigh and you can do nothing about this.
Make sure to erect me a VIP QUALITY tombstone. Make it say something about being deprived of Internet.
20:39 I am going haywire. My laptop is going haywire with me. I shut down all the non-vital processes to save the power.
>>407
I used to think that way. And I was certain I would die alone, but then my significant other pursued me until I finally gave in. However, our relationship is difficult. I moved away so we don't get to see each other very often. I'm pretty needy-and so is he, so the time commitment is pretty huge. But despite all of that, I think it's worth it-even if he eventually finds someone else who is more VIP QUALITY than I am.
>>413
Do not go gentle into that good night,
VIPPERS should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
>>416
Well I can certainly vouch for the homosexual bit~

Hey I'm going to stay up all night so I won't miss class tommorow!
9am start. 7am bus to catch. God damn.
I kind of want to stay up later but I'm tired and I should get up early tomorrow so I think I'll just go to bed.
I have had since 6 PM to do my studies. Now it's 10, I don't know anything about my topic, and I'm tired.
My lover and I are staying up all night working on homework. I have yet to start and it's 3AM!
I stayed up too late and I just woke up, three hours before my train leaves, and now I don't have time to download and watch House MD. Sometimes I'm just that clever.
I met a girl today and I'm helping her with calculus. She's pretty proficient and cute.
Call me a Cowboy Bebop-influenced deadbeat-otaku-chink, but I REALLY want to know what true sadness is. I've spent my whole life gliding on this sort of intellectual apathy and it's really quite boring.
You want to know how the birthday party went? Well do you?
I am unable to clip my toenails without bloodshed. Am I alone here?
>>434
Then don't clip them! The pink part of the nail is still alive and should NOT be cut. Wait until you have an excess of white nail that can be cut easily. No one should cut their toenails and bleed.
The secret area has its secret ways.
CHRIST, OK
I'LL GET BACK TO WORK

Its about what you expect when you get a bunch of awkward weeaboos together.
>>448
If you'd like, you could have gone. Help yourself to the cream-cheese-and-ham rolls and purple soda. Robert-chan brought Pocky from Rite-Aid on his way here, too.
God im so hungry.
