[QUOTE=Banandana;42578734]Japan has the third largest GDP in the world and one of the most unique cultures in existence yet all you guys can think of is anime. The fact that things like this happen and no one really seems to care except to make shitty anime jokes is just sad. OK facepunch.[/QUOTE] their culture certainly is unique unique is not always a good thing
[QUOTE=JesterUK;42577236]anime will never die[/QUOTE] [t]http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11111/111112059/3023742-konachan.com+-+85662+hokuto_no_ken+kenshiro.jpg[/t] Anime is already dead
Best wishes to Japan. They've been through so much shit.
As if it wasn't bad enough my homeland is being gangraped by disasters all the time, I have all of these non-Japanese who can only characterize my culture by anime and manga. Can people seriously start treating Japanese culture with a greater amount of respect, or at least enough to realize there's more to it than cartoons, cutesy things and weird fetishes? I mean, there's actually a lot wrong with Japanese society but I don't think many people know enough to care. I mean I'm sorry to be the one to shit in your cereal, but it doesn't have to be what shows up every time Japan is mentioned.
Anime is dumb I hope Japan dies I mean they deserve it after what they did to Pearl Harbour.
[QUOTE=Ern;42578995]Anime is dumb I hope Japan dies I mean they deserve it after what they did to Pearl Harbour.[/QUOTE] I hope to fucking god you're not serious. Anime avatar, so probably not. But still not funny nonetheless.
[QUOTE=Banandana;42579044]I hope to fucking god you're not serious.[/QUOTE] Did I not make it obvious enough that I wasn't serious?

For the fucking love of god can we stop it with this anime discussion shit. Did I not make my point the first time with <Insert Shitpost about Generic Shit Anime being canned/delayed HERE>? A little bit ago I was going to say this thread was absolutely golden Thread of the Month, but it's turned into a horrorhouse of sperglords, weaboos, and assholes who get a rise out of being as contradictory as possible. I mean, I've nothing against a joke here or there, hell, I've made jokes in the usual "Japan Natural Disaster" threads, like the latest one a few days back (Albiet, my joke wasn't even anime-related), but goddamn, this entire thread has been nothing but a fucked up anime "debate".

People tend not to value lives when those lives are associated with something they don't like.
This site is pretty awesome too [url]http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/imagery/twpac.html[/url] [img]http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/mtsat/twpac/bd-animated.gif[/img] Someone please help me find cooler images.

God, I remember the last Japanese typhoon storm. Then it sparked one of the most hyped up anime episodes of all time.

Just out of curiosity are there any Japanese Facepunchers at all? I can't remember the last time I saw a Japanese flag under an avatar.

[QUOTE=FPSMango;42579283]Just out of curiosity are there any Japanese Facepunchers at all? I can't remember the last time I saw a Japanese flag under an avatar.[/QUOTE] There are a few here and there. There are also some Facepunchers living in Japan (but not Japanese).

Japan isn't some poor fragile child you guys, the Japanese people are intelligent and strong and can brave through a lot. Also I'm calling it that this Typhoon is gonna bitch out like all the other ones this year. It's gonna wind down into a cat 3 before it even gets to landfall.

[editline]19th October 2013[/editline] What about that other storm going on though? The one marked TD?

TD is "Tropical Depression", meaning that could possibly turn into a typhoon, but isn't one yet, hence why it doesn't have a name.

well then that sucks Hopefully they have good hurricane tech. I live in florida and thanks to hurricane tech stuff a hurricane only exists to give me free days in school. i only remember one time where it went sorta bad (power outage for a few days).
