anon (12/07/2015) [-] Ok, story time.
I spent 6 years as a non-japanese hikikomori after graduating in college and not finding a job in my field (computer science, 3rd world country). I watched many animes during that time, spent a lot of time on the internet, watching movies, playing video games, and convincing myself that I'm teaching myself additional programming skills on my own so that I can find a job abroad. Of course, soon I lost site of what I was trying to achieve, I had no plan, no schedule, no clear idea of what exactly I was trying to do. I was getting older and older, pressure from my family increasing, but now that I think about it, I was in my comfort zone.
Unfortunately, this period of my life which I honestly miss now ended abruptly and not so happily - I took the keys of my father's car to a nearby location and on the way had an accident that resulted in the death of some 15-year-old kid. The family had to pay 106'000 JD (~$150'000) to the family of the killed kid in compensation. I spent a month in the hospital, after which the weight of the debt prevented me from the luxury of not having to work, if I were to consider it a luxury.
That was back in 2009. Now I'm married, but still in debt, and I'm about to release my second art-related software to the public, so my hikki-time was not completely wasted.
6-year hikikomori, 10/10 would do again.

Holy **** I just watched that last week.
And I was not disappointed. So I read the manga. There's not enough. There's never enough.

surrandre (12/07/2015) [-] Unfortunately not for a while, unless they intend to deviate heavily from the manga like FMA did their first time around.
What happened in the anime covered up to chapter 30, and 42 was just recently released.
Of course I still prefer the manga because Yuki doesn't end up realizing what's going on, she hasn't really come to terms with any of the deaths yet, she just thinks she graduated and moved on from high school.

you should try watching Bokurano then. It's even more ****** . pretty much the same concept of Madoka, but it was done before madoka was even though of, which is why madoka is considered better becasue it did somethings differently.

brolylssj (12/07/2015) [-] Or there aren't too many ways to draw really spiky hair and really bulky muscles.
Plus Trunks is always drawn like he's too big since he's supposedly too bulky to move quickly while Broly is built much longer. His arms are giant, yes, but they're also longer than Trunks is tall. Trunks is the same size as normal, just thick.

infinitereaper [OP](12/07/2015) [-] Actually the Japanese birthrate is in decline, more people are dying than being born.
The era of "Herbivore Men" who have given up on women and their high standards/pressures of society and recluses in general are on the rise.
It's actually a pretty fundamentally simple problem.
People need to **** more.

anon (12/07/2015) [-]
female incentive is also low. Little to no daycare. Additional taxes. And you are expected to quit your job once you have kids. Being a woman with kids is like being an incompetent man. Your career will go no where and people will say its your fault (even if you neglect your kids. People in charge will feel like they did something morally wrong if they give you a raise or promotion because it encourages you to work).

flyingsquid (12/07/2015) [-] Its also shameful to have both parants working full time. Its a indication to the neighbors that you don't earn much.
Alot of women want to earn money before they marry. When they have married there employer things that they soon are going to gett kids and will stop giving them further opertunitys.
And as that is not bad enoth. Japanese people in general do not move in togheter before they are married and over the last 10-15 years the price for wedings have sky rockeded.
On top of all this we have a shift in the Japanese jobb market that have devistating social consequenses. During the boom years in the 70s and 80s they did not have much off a problem becouse everything went well. So all the companese hired people for life time employment, witch included, life insurance, and pentions for both the husband and the wife. (offcourse insurance for there children to) But after the bubble the companese started to hire more people on part time positions and unregular employment that have no off the benefits. It have created a huge chunk of people that are working poor.
And to make everything worse so are the Japanese political system is ****** UP!!! The terretorys its implemented in makes it imposible for young people (that live mostly in the urban centers) to get a good voice becuse one vote on the countryside is worth more the 1000 in the citys! And do not gett me started on the iron triangle.....
Well so sumurice. Abe have hell of a jobb to fix all the domestic propblems.
oh, and one more thing. His will to change article 9 is so stupid that its unbeleveble.
Sorry for the speclling mistsaces. Dyslexia is a bitch...

flyingsquid (12/07/2015) [-] In some ways. They have all the laws for equality. But they have a real problem enforcing them. How its going to get solved im not realy sure. There have been some campains to gett women to stay in the work force but it have not realy given the results they hoped for.
For me personaly this is a huge issue. The gf is studdying biology and i social science and translation. (uppside down world right?) So she is probubly going to earn more then i will witch is a problem if she one day must quit heir jobb...

newepic ONLINE (12/07/2015) [-] I not entirely sure but i think nihon is japan sounds like a different version of nippon, and jin is person or man i think, so essentially a nihonjin = japanese person, which makes sense with what smug was saying. allthough I doubt there are very many nips on FJ

newepic ONLINE (12/07/2015) [-] Hey you dont see me complaining, although im not a big fan of anime anymore i still dont mind people who are. I will admit that i view some people in a bad light when they have watched hundreds of animes where the main plot is nothing else than "Cute girls doing cute things" . I hate real weebs that actually forsake their own culture and try to act Japanase.

She once asked me to roleplay as two of the characters, America (me) and England (her), honestly I feel like I was violated in some way that day, it was ******* creepy.

cormy ONLINE (12/07/2015) [-] Plz no.
I have seen these little ***** and those comparisons are no where near valid.
Yeah okay so there's some intense fights, but they're still all magical girl shows and you know those fights only take up the last 5 minutes of an episode, the rest is school-girl themed with the villain SLOWLY and most EVIL-Y plotting/gaining power, not to mention this is PreCure so every fight has to be finished with their signature wombo combo moves of love and friendship... Which take 2 minute long incantations+choreography.

Tormound (12/07/2015) [-] Japan is in a very bad position where more people are dying than are being born. Right off that bat you have a workforce that can't replace itself fast enough. Then there's the fact Japanese culture is so ****** up in terms of what is expected of both men and women that marriage and having kids seems like a wasteful thing to do(unless you rich). Also, Japan I believe has one of the worst debt problems, owing more money than they actually have and iirc suffering from a deflation(when deflation happens all stops must be pulled to reverse it, seriously almost nothing is bad as deflation when it comes to economy) so Japan is suffering from just a melting pot of problems that needs some serious revamping to fix. Allowing immigration could make the future pains less painful but any politician trying to bring that up is committing career suicide. Yeah Japan is just about ****** in about 20 years at this rate.
