/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Any street otaku here?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB

>>11663430
stoop otaku here

Must be fun to drive on.

>>11663429
Imagine walking down this street with your waifu, a man can dream.

Let me guess, no one responded your thread on /int/?

>>11663439
Who knows anon. Maybe one day it will happen.

Weebs please go

Weebs please go

>>11663438
It was quite fun to drive there. The ocean breakers that lined the beaches had streets on top of them so I go drive down the coast and enjoy the ocean breeze. The narrow streets just called for someone coming from a different direction to pull their car over to let the other person pass, another reason why I was glad I had power folding mirrors.

Even overcast days still felt nice

This is in fact a road you are looking at. It was nice driving up higher than the surroundings so you could look around.

Usually there is a shit ton of people on this street.

>>11663687
I went to this place this summer.

Any photos of Japanese rural towns or countryside?

>>11664213

>>11664221
Now we're getting comfy

>>11664228
The shrine right behind that picture.

>>11664228
>>11664231
Think of all the brave American heroes that were going to have to fight through all that shit

I don't care if some of the places look run down, most of these are aesthetically pleasing holy shit.

>>11663429
>best streets
Those tiny shits?
I DON'T THINK SO!

These threads always make me feel comfy

>>11665938
>>11665952
Are those HDR? The color bleeding of stuff like the red railings looks terrible.

>>11663515
reminded me of True Tears

>>11663429
What are some good Japanese streets where I can squat against a wall and take it easy with a jar of one cup sake and a parliament?

>>11665985
Look at the long grass next to the railway in the first picture. I think it's a double-exposure that was then crudely merged. Not really HDR, since no real range. Shit.

>>11666068
Moscow Chinatown.

>>11667594
Is that an alcohol vending machine?

akihabara please?

>>11667605

Looks to be. It obviously says "Sake" on the side.

So lonely and quiet. I love it. As a walking otaku I would love to go to japan and walk in all the streets I can

>>11667770
Then get mugged, raped and left on the street to die.

How can one country have so many cozy streets?

>>11667880
Because you jizz your pants simply because you know they’re Japanese. The street threads are the worst form of weebery on /jp/. The architecture and tea threads are more tolerable.

>>11667902
the diet thread is worse
at least some of these are pleasant to look at

>>11667902
Get bent, nerd.

I like to drink tea but stay clear of the tea threads because they never have anything interesting. We've always had them so whatever.
I could do without the idol and KanColle threads but don't care particularly since they keep to themselves.

But stuff like this thread or the infamous diet thread just invite more idiots to think that this is Japan General.

>>11667902
I used to post non-Japanese streets just to trick people. I stopped though, because I kept laughing at myself and I realized that was kind of pathetic.

>>11667976
I like you.

>>11667976
Could you give an example of a fake Japanese street?
Usually these pictures have some writing somewhere or you can tell by their ridiculous electricity lines.

>>11667972
Why do you want to discuss this here and not on Warosu? You know it was one of you idiots who actually made this thread, right?

>>11668078
You can't be serious. Warosu is worse than any phase /jp/ ever went through. On-topic threads don't get any replies, it's all circlejerking of the idiots that hang around the irc, trevor this, trevor that, shitposting galore. You're a fucking retard for even mentioning it.

>>11667972
>We've always had them so whatever.

Once every eight months until June 2012 != "always" had them

These threads are so absurdly off-topic I'm not sure what anyone was thinking when they decided to approve them and babysit related threads (laundry otaku, bridge otaku, table otaku, etc.) Threads like these so obviously attract a /v/ crowd accustomed to reaction images, "comfy" blogposts, and "sink threads," which begets even more shittiness to this board. And those aspie /int/rejects who have been devoting their life (or lack thereof) to necrobumping these threads for the past year aren't helping.

>>11668303
>>11622938
better place to release your frustration

>>11668303
>Once every eight months until June 2012 != "always" had them
That's exactly what it means. We've had them since the beginning = always. Don't be a retard.

>>11668349
June 2012 is nowhere near the beginning of what we have, friend.

>>11668362
I agree. But the earliest ones were 2009. Get your facts straight, idiot.

I was a street otaku and never knew. If I ever go to Japan, which city has the best streets? Kyoto?

>>11668392
Shut up Jani.

>>11668392
Kyoto isn't too special. It's got to be Tokyo.

Generals are ruining otaku culture. If there is always a thread on the subject, then the thread is never special. ;_;

>>11667605
Yes.

>>11668430
Notice how the OP doesn't mention "general" or "thread" anywhere?

You are the one putting labels on things that have always existed, and then complaining about those labels. Stop it.

The only problem is people don't know when to let a topic rest for a few days and try to chain them together thread after thread.

>>11668441
I didn't say this was a general. I was continuing the above discussion. Japanese street threads are nice, but not every day! Luckily for me, I haven't seen one in a while.

>>11668430
>If there is always a thread on the subject, then the thread is never special.
That's the problem I have with /vg/ and the generals when they started appearing on /v/.
And then they become just a hangout for a bunch of kids who don't allow anything different from what they've always done. Exactly like what was posted in that mootblog.

IDK about you guys but japanese streets seem to small for my tastes.

Was fucking around on google earth, and I landed here. It's in Japan, no idea where, but it is fucking beautiful.

>>11665936

>>11663429
idk man looks like a hatokiri is gonna come from around the corner and slice me at any moment

It's not the streets, but the cherry blossoms that make the scene.

>>11672479
Like most historic places, everybody wants to save them but nobody wants to visit them.

That's the end of that.

>>11663429
Nice I love Japan streets (:

Kyoto

>>11673426

More

These images just look too comfortable it almost makes me sleepy

>>11680803
>sleepy
It's not the "comfort", it's the boring nature of Japan.

>>11663515
Where is this? It feels familiar

i recall it's somewhere in kansai but where

So the reason of the low birthrate is that everyone is too busy keeping the streets clean from dust?

>>11682181
Thanks man I wouldn't know myself.

>>11671579
coordinates?

>>11663515
>industry in the background

I could not live there. I hate polluted air and noise. I love being surrounded by trees here where I live. Hearing the birds chirping at 4 AM on a Saturday, going for walks through the thick fog. In the summer, hearing the frogs near the pond, all the insects flying around while the cicadas sing somewhere hidden in the grass. That's what I love.

>>11667605
One thing I find interesting is for all the advanced infrastructure the Japanese and Koreans are known for, they still have electric cables on poles and running through the cities. It's something you see less and less in Europe as everyone now digs their cables underground, Much safer and nicer that way too.

>>11684903
They don't dig it because the earthquakes.

>>11667856

Japan has no crime, turbo nerd.

>>11668428

damn, I always had such a romantic view of Kyoto, it being the old capital.

>>11687502
Depends on where you go. That part appears to be part of the downtown area. There are some nice old timey looking streets up near the Yasaka shrine.

>>11687431
Earthquakes and floods is exactly why they should dig them actually.

>>11687756
Not him, but if they're underground, does that really protect them?

If they're damaged/flooded underground, I imagine it would be significantly more expensive to dig them up, re-lay them, pump out water, and generally maintain them than it would be to just erect power lines.

>>11687502
don't listen to that fag, kyoto is great

I got lost on the backside of fushimi inari and ended up in fuck-knows-where but at least the forest and small streets were cozy

>>11664221
I did a quick edit of this because I wanted to use it as a desktop, here it is if you want it!

>>11689464
woops, wrong one, meant to post this one

>>11689464
Dreamy as fuck.

>>11690968
That's incredible.

>>11690968
Where is that?

>>11690968
if you squint your eyes at the pic, you see a dog lying down at the base of Fuji

>>11668582
>japanese streets seem to small for my tastes
That's a shame, it's why I enjoy them so much in the first place. Might have something to do with growing up in a very wide-street country.

this bamboo street kills me

No litter or graffiti whatsoever, the streets are so clean.

It must be nice to not have any niggers around.

>>11691736
>>11667880
>>11667594

>>11691736
I hate how there's no trashcans anywhere in japland, so you have to take home your trash

>>11691195
are they trying to beat up a wall? I thought nips were smart

>>11691055
japan

>>11691736
>graffiti

If there is one thing I hate it's graffiti. Fucking mongoloids putting that shit everywhere with no respect whatsoever for the buildings. They should all die!!!

>>11691834
most ignorant post of all time, it's the most pure art there is if done right

>>11691839
Die, you fucking nerd. You're nothing but scum.

>>11691842
pic related it's u

>>11691839
Except it is as rare as a large blue diamonds. The rest are done by kids and vandals.

>>11691848
everything good is equally rare unfortunately :(

>>11684903

Laying stuff underground is much more expensive. It's best left for water etc.

>>11691854
Nice japanese street, yukari.

>>11671579
9/10 would walk along contemplatively.

>>11691903
9/10 for me as well, but what would make it a 10/10?

for me, it's know where it is and how to get there ;_;

>>11691834
no tru streetaku cannot appreciate at least some graffiti.

you should just leave this thread and make a "clean exterior corporate japanese building otaku" thread, see how far it gets.

(srs btw, i was into architecture photography a few years back and the Japanese photos were pretty sweet)

>>11667880
Fucking graffiti... I guess that happens there, too (well obviously, but never gave it conscious thought.)

>>11663515
Looks like the place in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

>>11690968
It looks like the clouds are right around where the snow starts/stops. Any weather otaku know why?

>>11693426
not weather otaku, but I'm guessing that any higher in altitude and the water vapour becomes ice - dense enough to fall.

>>11684903
As >>11691860 said, using telegraph poles is much much cheaper. Analysts attribute the UK requiring it's telephone and cable lines to be underground (bar STD lines in rural areas) as a key reason why our internet is so comparatively expensive, slow, and glacial to improve.

>>11693397
The places in that movie were gorgeous

does /jp/ like 2d versions of real life streets?

>>11694415
Only if you have a picture of the original street

>>11671530
So, vending machines can be exposed to rain, huh?

>>11665903
Any more pictures with prominent telephone lines? I love those for some reason.

Maybe im just a big fucking weeb, but all these streets look good. I wish I could find Murikan streets that look good.

>>11694740
It is all right even in the typhoon.

What are some good rural destinations in japan if I just want to scooter around for a week?

>>11694784
America's a 3rd world country.

>>11691846
Oh man I saw that in theaters. Great flick.

>>11695949
This was that Banksy documentary, right? How was it? Did they get any quotes from Bansky directly, or even show his face?

>>11695921
Why do you hate freedom :(

>>11663515
seen this in Kekkaishi and FLCL

>>11695958
America's freedom is like the GNU GPL: "free to do as we say".

>>11695958
He don't, it's a fact.

>>11695953
Yeah, he's in it and you even get to see him at work. He pretty much walks you through his 'career', how he got started, where he's been, why he does it and the like. You don't get to see his face, or hear his natural voice.

There's on scene where Banksy sneaks an inflatable inmate into a Disneyland exhibit, brilliant stuff. However, the movie isn't just about Banksy, he's just a major component. It's on youtube so you should really check it out.

>>11695982
That sounds appropriate enough. I think Banksy is one of those people where his art is more important than who he is, so he's really a testament to how anonymity/pseudonymity can totally work out (judge the art, not the person). Though I still wonder how the fuck someone can do complex graffiti and art pieces in public places and we still don't know what he looks like.

I'll definitely check it out, thanks Anon!

>>11695969
Liberty is overrated

Just give me a nice bowl of food, a bottle of sake, a roof over my head and something to occupy my time with.

>>11696037
and don't jail me for watching loli, smexing this sexy 11 years old neighbour, or doing some heroine in the back.

>>11696037
>>11696092
That sounds like Third Reich Nippon.

Why are most of these streets so wet?

It's like sea world.

>>11696216
rain is romantic and makes lights shimmer and look really cool.

and (depending on where exactly) japan is pretty wet for a lot of the year.

>>11696234

What do Japanese streets smell like? I've always imagined that most of Japan smells like fish and sea water.

>>11690968
Being born in a mountainous country, the mount Fuji doesn't impress me that much.

>>11696097
>>11696037
More like Cambodia under Pol-Pot

>>11696244
As a person who has been there, I can confirm this is not the case.

They don't have a really specific smell. If you're walking past a bakery or icecream shop, it smells like baking. If you're walking past a garden, it does smell like flowers.

>>11664213
i wouldn't mind being a normie if i lived in the japanese countryside

>>11696263
It's another thing to have lots of high mountains than one raising really high. That's what makes the scenery impressive.

Every single place in America is better than all those tiny streets combined

>>11697546
American eagles love Japanese car.

Behold the beauty of America.

Mount Fuji doesn't hold a candle to the American wilderness.

>>11697824
meh

>>11697546
Hah, hello /o/!
with which car would you drive around Japan? I'd drive this and street race with delinquent teenagers on the wangan.

>>11697887
Volvo 240 obviously

pedestrians and cyclists are the true superior street enthusiasts.
autos disrespectfully sully streets with burnt rubber - br/o/taku pls leave.

>>11698550
roads were made for cars, get out of the way if you don't want to get burnt with the rubber

wait a second those are really Japanese streets? Where are the girls coming late to school with toasters in their mouths?

>>11699171
They've all dropped out of school because of being late too often and died of drug abuse after being rejected by their families.

>>11697824
Pathetic. Not a single vending machine in sight!

Does put this thread back on track shall we?

>>11697824
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

>>11697546
DISGUSTING CREATURES !!!!!

>>11697824
The beauty of Germany beats all.

>>11707400
if i wanted to see the dullest of concrete buildings, i'd go to some ex-soviet country.

>>11707407
Fucking soviets and their bloc buildings, right?

>>11707446
Classy as fuck

>>11707446
Oh god please don't ever say anything good about Russia again.

>>11697824

>murrica has mountain ranges
>this is somehow unique and not found all over the world, including in Japan

>>11697824
>>11707502
These are hilariously indistinguishable.

>>11707504
A mixture of forested hills and snowcapped ridges are aesthetically superior just forested hills.

Checkmate, Japan.

>>11663432
I guess this is an ordinary street in Japan, but it looks so fantastic for me....

>>11663440
Wow...the colour of the sky makes this pic more beautiful.

>>11707533
Agreed. I like sunrises a little more, but sunsets are more colourful and always glorious.

>>11663515
Good, it's not a street, though.

>>11663687
Fucking beautiful...is this really the place on the earth?

>>11664221
Looks nice. But for some reason I imagine a townscape when I hear a word "Japan". Feels weird.

>>11707574
The path to Eientei.

>>11694760
They're not telephone lines, though.

>>11707589
That looks really dangerous.

>>11707594
Vietnamese infrastructure for you

I remember my Japanese friend said that Japanese streets suck and ones in NA are better. The grass is always greener on the other side.

>>11668436
Yet another reason why those nips have god tier culture.

>>11707885
Rampant alcoholism?

>>11707605
These pictures are probably cherry picked. And there would probably be people and natural distress present.
They're nice to look at, but there are plenty of nice roads and paths where I live. And I most certainly enjoy walking down them.

Things almost always look better in pictures than in real life. That's part of the point of photography.

Are there homeless people in Japan?

>>11708048
plenty

>>11707605
That's because he doesn't want any filthy gaijin coming to shit up his homeland.

>>11707931
>That's part of the point of photography.
There's a lot of photography that just tries to capture reality: photojournalism, candid and street photography, architectural photography, nature and documentary photography, probably more. Professional photographers might put a spin on it in order to actually sell their photos (particularly in journalism), but the original photograph was more-or-less just trying to capture a moment in real life.

inb4 take it to /p//

>>11708777
Do Japanese photographers clean the streets before taking photos?

>>11708781
Chinese streets clean themselves. It may not look it, but that street is incredibly high-tech. The road opens up and litter falls into the ground!

>>11708781

No. In Japan and a lot of countries, the streets are kept clean and rubbish free. Also, nobody said a japanese person took that photo. Its just a normal picture of a street.

Retard.

>>11708781
are you living in slums or something?

>>11708791
Since when do Chinese streets have signs with kana

>>11708781
No. They're always that clean.
Have some photo I took in akiba at 2am

I'm going to Japan with a friend in a few months and have decided to book two extra weeks where I'll just walk around aimlessly after my friend has gone home.

>>11708855
Too bad the aspect ratio is messed up because this would make a fantastic wallpaper.

>>11708842
Fuck you fag.
>>11708839
I live in freedom.
>>11708791
That's not good for the earth!

>>11708871
>That's not good for the earth!

But they're feeding the Earth! It's the Chineses' way of giving back.

>>11691854

here is another one from akiba

>>11708977
I arrived in tokyo at 3pm and fall asleep due to tiredness and jetlag. We woke up at 1am and went for a walk

>>11708969
I know everything in japan is small, but a sidewalk like this is a joke. How are you supposed to pass another person from the other direction?

>>11708980
You don't. You just walk on the street.

>>11708982
Well, that's an option I did not consider.

>>11708966
Can you put all these gorgeous pictures up on mediafire or something?

>>11708967
Sorry, I'm sleepy and read that as "when".

The Flickr words say Cali/Bay Area.

The artist's DeviantART page has words I don't understand:

Do you mean all photos I took in tokyo?

Why don't streets work like this?

>>11709007
I thought about this too, but it should be the other way around.

>>11709007
the other way around would make much more sense and tunnels as well as bridges already exist

>>11709009
Okay.

>>11709019
Yeah. That's really funny, smartass.

>>11709007
If it's meant to separate pedestrians and traffic vertically, that would be insanely expensive. Maybe in the cyberpunk future.

>>11708994
Well I uploaded more photos anyway.

I think you're missing the point. He clearly meant this.

guys, he meant the 'other' other way around.

Since its Japan, it should be something like this.

>>11709141
Yes, the bakanoah.

The joke is that an action that is usually performed with a skateboard is executed using an automobile. It's supposed to look silly.

>>11709170
it's lulzarandem

>>11709091
So it's like a bicycle but requires an expensive monorail type system to be built everywhere and is also incredibly susceptible to traffic jams since just one person stopping will hold up everyone behind them for miles?

Yeah, I can see how this is superior. Bloody hippies.

The beauty of Germany

Coolest city highway ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsKEbHOit10

So cars are like horses except they require motorways and metal and petrol and service stations and coffee machines for those little shops that sell rubbish coffee for £3 a cup?

Cities have had trams and subways, some old, some recent. I don't think building a few sticks of metal and a bunch of pods (probably cheaper than cars) is going to be a huge deal.

>>11709091
Probably the dumbest shit I have ever seen.

>>11709091
That's pretty retarded and looks more like a very local, for fun, thing.

The immediate future of locomotion looks like cars but increasingly automated, then a few years after that completely autonomous cars. Electric cars that is. No pollution, no noise.

I already don't have a car and can take a free city bus to wherever I need to go. If it's close, I just ride my bicycle or walk.

The less polluted our cities and environment are the better it will be for everyone. I hope the future is green.

so clean!

I'd be cautious to try to drive in Japan since I'm used to everything being on the opposite side.

I love streets in Y

Do you all prefer -

the rural landscapes, with bamboos and mountains

or the urban ones with the little streets and conjoined houses?

>>11714127
Yes

>>11714130
Very nice

>>11714127
urban ones

>>11714127
Rural. Hills, but no bamboo or mountains. But when it comes to Japan, urban images always seem more interesting.

>>11714127
both

>>11714127
Neither

Look at these kids on the schools roof. Must be some delinquents skipping classes.

>>11714246
Is it really that easy to go on the school roof?

>>11714241
This is kinda fun.

>>11714262

>>11714241
I see you.

Can we make a new thread for this? The last one was really fun and i'd rather not spam up this thread with random screenshots of people doing silly things.

>>11714315
Sorry

>>11714492

Please? >>11714315

>>11714315
>>11714565
No.

>>11714580
yes >>11714588

If only this was a live feed. I could always then find fapping material from there.

I bet driving in Japan is pretty shitty.

curse this damn weeb fantasy

>>11715148
i bet it's nice in the countryside though.

True dat

>>11715148
>>11715914
Driving in any countryside is nice. Driving in any city is pretty shitty.

I really love Japanese alleyways. Would anyone like me to do a small dump?

>>11722799
I'd save them

>>11722805
Alrighty

>>11722811

>>11722814

>>11722818
Excuse me for a couple minutes. I'll resume shortly

>>11722821
Back at it

>>11722858

>>11687791
Why don't they have all water and sewerage pipes above ground then?
Obv. they would have to make the cable-housing earthquake proof rather than lay a bare cable underground.

It would make Japan much more beautiful. Unfortunately they wouldn't do it with the power lines like these >>11664221 which blight the countryside

>>11691713
>>11663687
Where is this? I'd love to grow something similar in shitsville, Australia

>>11722860

>>11722866

>>11722811
That's a bitch to go down with snow

>>11722870
This one is so cozy

>>11722876

>>11722811
That's a pretty cool alleyway. Dilapidated as fuck. I think the tortoiseshell is required for it to look good.

>>11722880
I'm a sucker for alleys with waterways like this

>>11722888
I guess that one was more of a gutter than anything

>>11722895

Is Japanese bamboo better than other bamboo?

>>11722906

>>11722912

>>11722919
>>11722910
I'd like to think so but it's hard to say since there are several thousand species of bamboo

>>11722921
あああああ！Night-time alley！

>>11722925

>>11722929
Two beautiful narrow alleys for the price of one！

>>11722921
which is the best species of japanese bamboo?

>>11722933

>>11722940

>>11722956
>>11722937
Well, I'm really partial to Pseudosasa japonica. It's very thin and delicate and pretty

>>11722967
>>11722937
Some might say moso bamboo, because of its size and traditional use as timber in Japan, but it isn't actually indigenous

>>11722974
Here's a nice winter alley

>>11722980

>>11722982

>>11722988

>>11722994

>>11722997
This is one of my favorites. I love steps in an alley and the view of the sea is a bonus

>>11723003

>>11723003
Lovely.

>>11723008
Another beauty with steps

>>11723014
I think this one is my all time favorite

>>11723020

>>11723022
Dead end！

>>11722937

Depends on what you want it for, different species can be good for either landscapes, windbreaks or building materials.

>>11723023

>>11723027
Excellent lighting in this one

Thanks for the recommendation.

I want to have a tru nihonjin bamboo garden. I wonder if Japanese landscape architects take commissioners from gaijin

>>11723041
Classic image swap glitch. At least it's semi board appropriate

>>11723022
They look pretty, but I imagine it would be shit after more than a day having a roof that is so damaged

>>11723047
>>11723049
Yeah, I imagine that one would be a bitch

>>11723053

Study traditional Japanese landscaping yourself！Enrich yourself！

>>11723082
Okay, 50 is enough of a dump for now I think. If people are still interested, I might start a thread later in the night.

>>11723089
Well, this one is too good to not post

>>11723089

Please do so, I like to save these.
