Description
Stamp Template by Kencho.Let me just say one thing before this rant. I DO NOT HATE JAPAN. It just isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
(I've never been to Japan-but I've read up a lot of rants, comments, journals, and deviations.)
So the first time that you found anime/manga, you were like, "Cool!" Then, after a few more episodes/chapters, you were like, "Oh my gosh, I wanna be a _____-mangaka, animator, manga story person, etc.-!" So after that, you decided to start drawing, take lessons, save up money to move to Japan, and learn Japanese.
But by the time you get there and you move there, you find out that Japan isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure, they're pretty smart, with all their technology and crap. And sure, they are all pretty healthly with their gym memberships and they're diets. But the older generation is pretty racist-And they have every right to be. We did all that crap to them way back. And the manga/anime industry is extremely competitive. The salary for almost any job SUCKS . And anyway, most of the time, if you're not Japanese (or just plain Asian) and you want a job in the manga/anime industry, you might as well kiss your Japanese apartment goodbye and get back on that plane. Because no matter how good your skills, if you aren't a native, you probably won't get a job. (XENOPHOBIA! D:)
List of Reasons Why Your General Weeaboo Would Move to Japan
- To enjoy anime/manga more.
-To become a mangaka/animator.
-To learn Japanese.
-To study the 'hentai culture'. [link]
(There are more; I just have to go so I'll list the rest later.)

Me, I'd want to move there just to see the hot springs and try the food from Osaka....and that can be accomplished by visiting Japan, as opposed to pulling up roots and *moving* there. I enjoy my manga and anime just fine here in the U.S. If I was going to move to another country, more than likely it would be Ireland, so I could learn more about my paternal great-great grandmother.
I've heard about Japan's xenophobic nature...while part of me wonders what kind of reception I would get if I went there, the other part of me doesn't particularly care what they think of a black female visiting their country. Hell, my own maternal grandfather called me a "high yellow gal" to my face, and I really didn't give a hoot. Racial prejudice against me 'cause of my skin color and hair and stuff means nothing to me. I am who I am, and that's that.
(I have found it highly amusing when a few people thought I was hispanic for whatever reason. XD I'm from northern California, and have no accent of any kind. Where the heck did they get that from?)

lol. I admit I wasn't this bad, but there was a time when anime/manga was the center of world, and I thought it would be cool to go to Japan/tried to learn some Japanese (and funny that I haven't cracked open the book I got like 2 years ago and I can still count to 10 in japanese, I have know idea what's up with that).....even listened to j-rock; there was even a time I wanted to have my own anime and then discovers manga and wanted to be a manga-ka.
Now as an art student, I would like to have my own comic as I call it but I'm not into anime/manga/Japan culture that much anymore. I got bored with it and moved on to other things. Now, I'd much rather want to be the next James Cameron or Tyler Perry.
