japan is technologically lagging behind
they need to revive interest in the IT and manufacturing sector

Asuna's character arc is a travel of going from papacon to embracing shotacon. It's just that she was pushed offstage at the middle of the series so we were denied like half of that arc.

>anime and manga are niche hobbies that are looked down upon in nippon if you are over the age of 30
Depends on the anime/mange. It isn't strange in Japan to watch/read Doraemon or Conan, but watching/reading something like Negima is.

Here's a bunch of mangaka congratulating him

It means it's all imagination and in reality they all passed away after the defeat of Ialda. In their final moments, they felt fulfilled and imagined happy endings for themselves.

I'm torn. I like his platform, but reading his manga makes me dislike him.

eh wern't a bunch of lolicons on the internet telling him to shut up cause they don't want the attention?

It's a big niche.

Akamatsu should respond: post pictures.

Hard to vocalize. Just rubs me the wrong way.

And yet it's the author of Negima who is now a politician. You're statement would make more sense if it was the author of Doraemon or Conan won won an election since it's more mainstream and seen as acceptable.

Nothing, you will be looked at different that is all.

I am statement didn't contradict that, the other user said that anime and manga are niche hobbies that are looked down upon if you are over the age of 30 in nippon.

Is this the power of otaku?

It means the public opinion changed and now degeneracy becomes the mainstream. Think of Idiocracy.

didn't kaz getting a lot of pushback when he showed support for some party ?

No user, the public opinion in Japan is that if you watch late night anime you are still a degenerate otaku.

Let's not act as if Doraemon is a stranger to little girl nudity.

Ironic anime fans, go and stay gone.

Nope.

Because it was a general "support this party" and included his art and characters. I guess it's different when you are specific and part of the same industry.

The former are kid/family shows that are Disney levels of mainstream while the latter is an otaku series.

There's plenty of things to dislike about Ken's work, and I say this as a Negimafag, user. Let me see if one of this resonates with you.
>that annoying habit of acknowledging and lampshading his writing flaws and plot holes while doing nothing to fix them
>'abuse is love/lol she just punched him PINNACLE OF COMEDY'
>scores of characters seem to come from a vacuum, with no backgrounds or relatives ever shown
>secondary characters have little goals or agency not related to Helping the Protagonist Out
>characters never learn their lessons even after having them stressed to them over and over
>character arcs are just addressed off panel and during timeskips all too often (this is even an issue in Love Hina)

Point still stands that the otaku author won. Maybe it'd be better to ask this question in /jp/.

He won because there are enough otaku who like late-night anime and wanted to vote for him, which doesn't mean it's not niche. The fact that the LDP is a big-tent party and he had some good non-otaku related policies also helps.

does otaku mean the same thing it did 10 years ago?

i hope tsutsui tetsuya writes something too
he got shafted pretty bad and wrote yuugai toshi as a response
he used to be really outspoken and even wrote some essays in english about the creeping censorship

It looks bad because they already know it will be censored so why bother with the detail. If uncensored will be the norm they will put in the effort.

It's basically just the proportional representation part of the House of Councillors. So each party gets seats in proportion to how many votes they or the candidates on the party's list get. As for the two without votes, each party is allowed to select up to two candidates
to prioritize over their other candidates. So if a party wins two seats the two they selected to be prioritized will get them regardless of how many votes the other candidates on the party's list got. And if the party gets more than two seats, they're given in order of who got the most votes

So Akamatsu basically got the most votes out of everyone?

This is my take on it.

Akamatsu is a god awful writer and I never want to touch anything made by him again. But as a person, I've got nothing against him and based on almost everything I've heard the guy sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders with most of his thoughts and policies.

>Akamatsu is a god awful writer
hes a goods artist though

What authority does the Upper House have? Do they propose/make the laws? How does it work?

Unironically won't the UN just veto everything he says and eventually ban ecchi shit? They've been trying for a while and they'll eventually succeed right?

The United Nations? They have more important stuff to worry about and they do a shit job at it anyway.
Pretty much any country with enough influence can mostly ignore what the UN says.

>UN
>having any power
I remember when the UN stopped Russia from invading Ukraine.

>UN
For UN to pass any laws that would be enforced in every member state, it needs the consent of every member state.
Plus the UN is not all that powerful considering one or two countries vetoing something can render a procedure useless.

>it needs the consent of every member state
Isn't it just the majority? Otherwise one can just go "nah" for everything.

>Isn't it just the majority?
no , it has to be unanimous,
>one can just go "nah" for everything.
that is what has been happening and why the U.N. is viewed as an ineffectual organization.

The UN is so convoluted and slow it's not worth discussing. The UN wouldn't bother with Ken.
UN is the least of Ken's worries considering there's pro-censorship politicians in the upper house from both the LDP and the opposition parties.

Akamatsu wanted to reach 1,000,000 votes if you combined his and Yamada Tarou's from the 2019 election (he got 540,000) and right now he has 451,504 so he only needs less than 10,000 more to reach his goal

There are also others that don't tweet about politics, but like and retweet pro-Akamatsu/anti-censorship tweets. This is a big win for japanese creators.

Didn't really take it too well. There's no need for posting twitter screenshots but it's the usual pronoun and tumblr refugee gang. Most people are supportive and numerous manga creators support him.
Not much whining from politicians from what I could tell. A CDP (opposition) politician whose policies were also pro-anime and manga said that he supports Akamatsu and that it's a good thing that someone like him made it.

The vast majority of nips probably didn't even realize an election was happening, including most of the people that saw Abe get shot the other day. Electoral politics is mostly irrelevant to most of their lives, so a few coordinated otaku and old people is all you need to win some shit.

I was under the impression that reading manga was pretty common across all ages; it's anime that's more niche amongst older people

Around 51% of japs went to the election. A bit larger than usual.

I wonder if the Abe Shinzo's death had something to do with it.

Not special chapter 40 pages long, special 40 chapters long

That is true, it's more common
Mostly because manga is cheap and lets you slip in a chapter or two while commuting, unlike late night anime.

Probably.

Where Abe stepped, Akamatsu will move forward.
Kill all commies and chinese wanting to prude anime/manga, Akamatsu! No mercy!

That's surprising, but I guess Abe getting clapped probably drove an extra few percentage off their couch for once.
Still pathetic for an oligarchy LARPing as a democracy.

I browse jp twitter regularly and I saw some post/stadistics saying the demographic that is the most against censorship and feminist scolding is actually the arsm22youngest.

>arsm22youngest

>oligarchy LARPing as a democracy.
Isn't that most of the world in 2022 though

Yes.

>arsm22youngest

but yes, youths tend to skew more progressive and radical in general

>arsm22youngest

did you fucked up the ctrl+v?

At least demosaics are becoming a thing, though finding ones in decent quality can be an issue

Even in low quality it's still cool to see genitals in Umemaro3D

>they don'tknow

The boomers and soccer moms in the LDP and certain local feminist groups are a more direct danger though.
That and credit card companies in the age of digital manga.

i guess its something like electing actors in us congress/presidence. Are all the guys that vote for them fans? no, they just recognize the name from somewhere in pop culture, and thats good enough than electing rando no. 56884 who will do the same shit as any other.

ARSM22 looks like a captcha so he probably typed it in the wrong field. It's supposed to be "youngest"
Just an educated guess

Feminism for example is losing more and more support from young women. The people that are in favor of feminism the most are in their 40s.
Feminists attacking moe culture and labelling female artists as "honorary males" certainly didn't help them.

You made me remember the line that goes as "if you are not socialist or communist when you are young is because you do not have a heart, if you are communist or socialist when you are old then you do not have a brain".

It's always soccer moms, isn't it? That's one thing that transcends every border and cultural gap.

yes lol

But it says the demographic most against censorship and feminist scolding is the youngest.

But user, he's LDP...

>That and credit card companies in the age of digital manga.
I wish there was a way to develop a crypto immune to speculation

LDP is just a bramd name anyway. Every politician who wants to seriously win a spot will fly the banner because its the only party that wins.

This kind of position gets both sides if you think about. The right wing sees anime/manga as japanese culture and wants to protect it from foreign influences. The left wing (well not the schizo american kind) would tend to value freedom of expression and arts.

The purpose is to make changes from within.

Obviously there are female otaku and dykes by why would the average young woman care about moe culture that's by and large male-oriented? Sorry if this sounds stupid

There is, but you won't be able to LARP as an ancap with the solution.

Everyone who's anyone is LDP. There are several "factions" within the party and one of them is boomers.

EL PSY CONGROO

That literally never happens. Abe was the grandson of a previous PM, and everyone knows the current PM is a mouthpiece like the vast majority of Japanese PMs are.
If the PM is irrelevant to actual policy making, what hope do you have for some wet behind the ears representative?

That's why he ran as a candidate of the LDP. He wants to change things within while also having a chance to gain a seat because opposition parties are basically non existent.

>That literally never happens
They might finally amend article 9 this time so I wouldn't say that.

It's about moe culture and manga in general. The % of female fans and female creators that partake in "infantilized" manga drawings is gigantic. Obviously not all the disapproval from young women stems from that but it has contributed.

They've been wanting to do that shit for many, many decades. You could find them talking in the background about it during the 80's. It's a meme, user.

Sure and things like this take decades to achieve. There's a solid chance the LDP will get enough seats to make it at least possible on paper.

China has nukes. Literally the only form to defend yourself from nukes is with nukes of your own. And even that is a phyrric victory if you deploy them.
No country in the world is suicidal enough to risk mutually assured destruction with China so they leave it alone.

So it sounds like Japan needs to get their own nukes then to keep china away. Glad we cleared that up.

These reprobates always end up worming their way into these executive and editorial positions in these sites and lie about how they aren't trying to influence the medium they claim to like, but yet they bitch about 24/7.

Nothing will change, censorship will continue to slowly fester and corrode the industry.

Pirating may get a bit more difficult.

That's my only fear. I don't really read doujins and I am on my nofap journey.

I wonder how much does cost ANN, someone like Elon Musk could buy it for the lulz and then throw all those retards out.

He chickened out of buying Twitter, so never on that front.

Finally some good fucking news concerning the integrity of anime/manga. Seems like the pozz had been increasing faster than usual the last few years.

Japan actually talked about this about a month or two ago. They said they'd be open to housing some of the nukes USA has. China went on a tirade on how that absolutely must not happen in response. I think they dropped the idea due to that.

Twitter was a hefty amount of money even for a man like him, meanwhile ANN would be like pocket change for him. As reference Crunchyroll was bought by little more than a billion dollars, so I doubt ANN even reachs all the way up to 100 million dollars.

honestly the only problem i have with these kinds of people is how they'll go

Kek reminds me of this. When did ANN get so...bad? I used it over a decade ago and never noticed shit.

they dont care about piracy outside of japan

Probably Koji Kumeta, the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei author.

Not because he disagree with Akamatsu politicaly, he just hates him

Censorship mat be on its way out and lolo/shota chads can finally work unimpeded

What's the problem exactly? It's not like he's making it so you can't criticize shit. He's just making it so nobody can be forced to right? So Lynzee and co can bitch and moan all they want as usual. Nothing changes from that end. Are they just made they can't force it now?

Remember when ANN used one of their colleague's death to voice their BLM support?

I'm not really seeing much outrage over his winning. Most people seem pretty happy. I do see the usual bitching about the LDP staying in power but that's about it. Nothing specific to Ken Akamtasu. Why do Americans hate the LDP anyway? The Japanese political party does not effect them in any way.

Elon Musk seems unpredictable. Has he given any indication of giving a shit about anime?

>Why do Americans hate the LDP anyway
they do?
I thought LDP was pro american

i think liked tweets that had 2d girls in them, thats about it.

>they do?
Aye. I see a lot of complaints against them and lamenting that the CDP and JCP aren't winning. Don't know what skin they have in that game.

People can see what you like over there? One more reason to never join these SocNets.

What's his deal with Ken?

it's pretty funny
all the twitter employees were reeeing about him buying twitter, and now that he doesnt want to buy it they are suing him

99% of Americans have no opinion about nip politics whatsoever. You're probably just talking about the usual mentally ill twitter crowd.

Its just twatter being retarded. They find out the LDP is conservative and they sperg out not realizing that you basically /have/ to be LDP regardless of politics if you want to win.

Also a good chunk of the butthurt crowd are koreans and mainland chinese so put 2 and 2 together

My point was wanting to see someone crazy enough like him to come and fuck them over.

I'm on a Japanese forum filled with Hafus and for some reason it recently got filled with a bunch of non hafus and people not living in Japan. They are the ones whining.

It's hard to say if Kumeta really hates him. I believe it's more Kumeta being Kumeta, and Akamatsu admittedly making himself an easy target for comedy in many ways (making often silly fanservice stories borderlining on the chuuni, actually dropping the ball hard with Negima and UQ Holder).

best news I've heard in a while

They probably haven't even heard of the LDP before Abe was assassinated.

Yeah, he did, but saying "chickening out" is a bit disingenuous. I think he was genuinely interested in buying it, but twitter gave some bullshit number about only ~5% of the users being bots and based off the activity the site has even on one day he was very skeptical about that number. IIRC he kept asking if that number is legit or not and they basically kept beating around the bush until he just pulled the offer.
The site is also just set up in such a way that whatever tweets are considered favorable show up at the top now, even if ones below them have higher amounts of quotes and likes. I think it was fair to doubt such a company when the way the site operates itself is dishonest.
I think it's a stretch though to think some eccentric wealthy person would want to buy ANN, I highly doubt it'd make that much of a profit and you'd be waiting for a return on that investment for decades assuming it even still lives that long.

It's definitely much higher otherwise they'd have no problem proving it to him. Why don't they realize that by being all "teehee" and coy about it makes it even more suspicious.

>but twitter gave some bullshit number about only ~5% of the users being bots
how can you tell?

>I think it's a stretch though to think some eccentric wealthy person would want to buy ANN
A mad lottery winner can buy it just to shut it down. That'd be based. But a huge waste of money.

Yes, that is it, I am only asking for one hero to come and purge that shithole with fire.

Do we have an updated list of mangaka celebrating?

In all seriousness that's a bad idea. Do you remember when Neogaf died? They all scurried to all corners of the internet. Here, Reddit, RpgCodex, niche forums. They swarmed everywhere with their bullshit. They need containment because otherwise they'd rise the ranks and change the new sites into their own home.

More importantly, is Japan finally gonna get fair-use laws?

Himura Kiseki should be one of them, it is only a matter of a few more hours to see him give his congratulations.

What did he mean by this?
Why does he calls Akamatsu dangerous?

Just from using the site myself and also knowing about bot purges on other huge sites like youtube, reddit, facebook, etc., it's a huge issue on those and yet twitter is acting like it's nothing to worry about. They were scared he would lower his price if they told him the real numbers and he did that too IIRC since they kept withholding that information.

Who was your favorite Negima, bros?

He's new to politics and is too relaxed. Meaning he can be taken advantage of regarding other policies.

They went to resetera, tho.

Nodoka ;_;

Yeah that's what it seems to me, seems the dude is saying that his supporters should be there to reprimand him if he does something wrong from having that relaxed attitude.
I kind of agree, I hope he actually takes this seriously because he could start movements to help preserve the integrity of Japanese media and keep western/all foreign hands out of it, as it should be. Involving more countries and becoming globalized is how you start producing highly sanitized garbage.

>All the Twitter tards shitting on Ken for being LDP
I hate Americans pretending to know Japanese politics so much.

>They swarmed everywhere with their bullshit.
i dont remember that

Anyone familiar with nip politics know if any candidates have seriously pushed for exempting 2D from censorship before?

LDP is Boomer shit. You do realize they're the ones responsible for a lot of dumbass censorship that Ken's fighting against right?

. Improve Japan's technology. Put more focus on computer, and programing, AI research. Start a more advanced space program. Improve and standardize network infrastructure. Allow immigration to bring in more experts from overseas.
. Have games, anime, and manga do educational programs to educate children, and encourage them in those fields. Improve children literacy. Promote computer engineering, and IT fields for children. Promote work from home, and distance learning
Trying to kill/change their horrible work culture should be viewed as a good thing, but they're all decent points, he sounds like he actually gives a shit and didn't just get the job "only" caring about the manga side of shit

Yes, we have Taro Yamada for that, he got re-elected on 2019 with 540000 votes.

The twins. Had a thing for them way back.

Friend of mine explain it like this. The odds of anything changing is basically zero. The hope is that things become a little easier for artists and they don't get into trouble.

Have had two or three artists tell me to never expect the mosaics to go away.

Asuna

Chisame.
But Nodoka, Ayaka, Chachamaru, Haruna, Yue, Asuna and Misora are all great too.
Holder retroactively ruined Evangeline.

LDP is more or less a labe. You can have differing ideologies, but the only way you can ever truly win a seat in Japanese politics is to run under LDP.

Love Hina needs a rework or A.I. Love You would be fun to do in our modern times, where men and women are marrying 3D programs.

At first it was Nodoka but after the Magic World arc it was Chisame.

Both of us know that that system will be abused like in the states. Better if they follow the chinese model of sending their people out to be trained, that to let open a tiny bit the inmigration waves.

To me 2. impacts me the most, as I'm a filthy pirate, but if it leads to a better industry, so be it.

Mana

You trust politicians too much. He's just going to fall into party line at some point after making a big stink about free speech and empty promises, with the excuse that he "tried".

So whatever went wrong with Negima? I never got to finish it but all I know is it became a battle manga

even without those laws the mosaics will remain due to market forces, which are even stronger today with the globalized web and american payment processors

>tfw Kumeta can finally make a literal joke out of him

I would honestly want things like FANBOX and Fantia to allow for uncensored content since it is paywalled behind a service. It's annoying to see artists have to take down works due to arbitrary censoring.

Here comes your new experts Japan, look at all those scientists and doctors.

What if he gets censorship, mosaics, bars, whiteout, even Barbie anatomy totally abolished

Tankoubons and volumes won't have the less censorship card to drive sales so authors will have to make new content

>us anime fans
You don't speak for anime fans, and these news directly relate to anime and manga. That's like saying discussion about the Tokyo Youth Ordinance should go on Any Forums, which is just blatantly untrue.

Eh, it directly impacts anime and manga. But, regardless, /jp/ would be a better place.

Never happening user. No one would rock the boat that much.

>/jp/

What's wrong with /jp/ again? Thought it was the Touhou containment zone.

End that shitty law against "glorifying" incest when it's literally fucking legal.

it's the idol and vtuber containment zone now

if its legal why is cwc in jail?

>his policies are le based because i can jack off to drawings of children
For shame. Abe didn't die just so you all could continue to be fucking losers.

Any Forums is a hunk of shjit , there would be no way to discuss shit all there.

nope

If only it could be the same for /vt/ so /jp/ isn't infested with vtuber shit.

her (male) crime was not being japanese

Yet I never see Pokemon threads here.

>What's wrong with /jp/ again?
youtube.com/watch?v=SCSM4W8vk3Q

Yes, but it's easy to tell when a pony apart from anything else. Enforcing the same policy for vtuber characters is humanly impossible.

they still make pokemon threads on Any Forums

and i mean the bad kind of pokemon threads,

Get the fuck out and kill yourself, retarded tourist. You will never be welcome on Any Forums.

Really?

no, ive become convinced for as much shit people gave them bronies are just well behaved.

That's because ponyposting is bannable on sight, even more than frogs and wojaks. They were a obnoxious bunch and /qa/'s raid was justified.
>never
Bullshit and you know it. Just yesterday, there was like 3 threads talking about the season's league.

We get a pokemon thread every friday because of the anime.

If the reporting system allowed users to give short explanations, it could be used to just name the vtuber in the image or post in case the moderator is unaware.

Reminder that it doesn't matter who Japan elects. They're always going to be America's bitches and if they fall out of line they'll be dealt with accordingly.

Trying too hard man. Why are you proud of being a fucking loser?

Puzzling, considering they have an anime general. I'm guessing the pokegirl generals keep muscling them out.

Get the fuck out and kill yourself, retarded tourist. Any Forums will never change for you shit or any 3DPD.

/vt/ only really got started because discussion on english vtubers, who really have nothing to do with japan beyond working for a japanese idol company, was beginning to dominate /jp/ and was even leaking over to Any Forums
japanese vtubers are still allowed on /jp/

Nodoka
Akira and I share the same birthday

English vtubers are still posted on /jp/ last I checked.

>don't expect this to change unless the elder care system collapses

Hot damn...

They autosaged the first thread that didn't have any Any Forums bait but instead kept the twitter screencap. They're all niggers and never really cared about Any Forums or it's quality.

So Any Forums got infiltrated by the trannies after all.

No "generals" maybe, but I've seen threads dedicated to just posting art of specific English vtubers, which just shouldn't be allowed period.

Regardless, I believe the constant hololive general pushing the other slower threads down when there's a perfectly fine /vt/ board is an annoyance that I can't seem to reason with.

Fuck Any Forums mods.

Right before /vt/ was created, they were regularly wiping /jp/'s catalog with disposable threads whenever something "epic" happened. Basically using the whole board as the Hololive Global general. So yeah the user who said bronies were better behaved than vtuberfags was right. At least as far as those vtuberfags at that specific period are concerned.

reminder that Any Forums mods are shit
go to wapchan if you want actually good administration
