Read the rules

(And you forgot VOCALOID since they aren't net chara but Vocal synth characters)

[Anonymous No.]

Most of these things aren't discussed here, not because they're not allowed, but because there isn't enough interest among existing users to support discussion.

Seeing as how maybe ten people here even have access to a pachinko machine, there's only so much discussion that can happen about the topic.

We have enough Vocaloid threads already. There are two generals on /jp/ right now.

For some reason we stopped having them for like a year, then they came back.

Holy fuck I love pachinko machines.

There's not a lot to discuss I guess, but I'd be totally down for a 5 reply pachinko thread.

Hey OP. I was just wondering, who is that jungle girl with green hair? I remember her from something something...

[Anonymous No.]

Chamcham from Samurai Shodown.

Though you might be thinking of that one 70s/80s anime where there's a similar character.

>>10638546
I guess that's her but I am excited to hear about this 70s/80s anime...

I just looked, but I can't remember what it was called. I just remember the poster on Wikipedia or AniDB had some girl in a leopard outfit, and it was a classic anime for some reason.

Some of those are discussed here rarely, the rest either aren't really 'otaku' related or not many people have an interest in it here

I am actually the cause I think I made posts about it back when it was at peak hate here and I decided to do generals to have a nice safe zone for discussion.(The first time I did I made one it failed but I tried again a few months later and it worked)

There's a difference between Japanese pop culture and Japanese culture, you moron. Stop taking that quote too far in the opposite direction.

You forgot kaidan, but I guess it falls under J-Horror.

what are you talking about

[Anonymous No.]

> Novels
>*Light novels (that aren't a front for anime threads)
Fuck you, no we can't. You guys are just 2hu and VN retards. Don't pretend like you can or do read novels or light novels. People who actually read light novels aren't on this board.

You can also say /jp/ is a board for discussing a doctorate thesis more seriously than saying you retards can discuss light novels.

why does nsj allow "pictures of japanese school girls" and "pictures of japanese streets" threads which clearly have nothing to do with /jp/, yet animu is forbidden even though it's a cornerstone of otaku culture?.

I don't know, it's kind of dumb. Would be cool if we could at least have a general anime thread. As much as I hate general threads.
