What’s so “weeby” about one of the greatest animation and manga ever made?
Old person here: what does weeb mean?
Non-Japanese person who’s obsessed by Japanese culture and related stuff. Generally used in a derogatory way.
@cnut: Never would have guessed that one in a million years, thanks.
@Noobist45: It came from 4chan. Doesn't really make any sense without context.
@Yuri Lowell: doesn't everything come from 4chan?
What? How's it not?
I don't know too much about this but the impression I get is that 'weeb' is used to describe Japanese content that isn't necessarily very good but that non-Japanese people still consume it just because it's Japanese.
Whereas Akira transcends that - it is genuinely good and not only because it is Japanese.
Edit: I didn't neg you.
@brotherfranciz: Neg me all you want. I thrive on the attention.
@brotherfranciz: Weeb is derived from "wapanese", like white Japanese.
Haha yea na
Word on the street is he's got clout.
Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.
I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)
I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%
When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!
I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Japan!
So many wasted years…
Japan is closed mate…
Price has gone back up to $340…..
I thought it was the Asa Akira Boxset
