You really want to live there? Cost of living is nearly unbearable in Tokyo, and Akihabara is mostly a land of porn. You can get nerd equipment pretty much anywhere in moonland. I mean, as long as you don't live in Hokkaido, because you'd die of boredom.
I think maybe >>1 needs to sit down and try to breathe slowly for a while.
i know that but i can still get more anime stuff if i live in tokyo than living here and it wont be that crappy translated stuff. also the train takes all day to go around in tokyo so you would want to live in the city near anywhere akiba. plus there are the comventions at the tokyo big spot like summer comiket and winter comiket
>>1 are you fucking serious?!?
Have you ever been to Japan at all, even a couple hours in Narita airport? And you believe moving to hentai heaven is your only hope for a happy life? DQN...ドキュン...ドキュン
I DONT CARE IF THE CITYS ARE CROWDED! I DONT CARE IF IT SMELLS I SMELL! I NEDD TO GO THERE SOO BADLY
IVE HEARD HOW BAD IT IS THERE 1000 TIME OVER AND I DONT CARE THERE IS 1000 TIME MORE FOR ME THERE THAN THERE IS HERE I HAVE ABSLUTELY NOTHING HERE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. IN JAPANT THERE ARE INCREDIBLE BUILDINGS WITH MAIDS AND STATUES AND DOUJINSHI. I CANT GET ANY OF THAT HERE
AND GET BACK TO THE POINT THE QUESTION IS HOW DO I GET THERE? NOT WILL IT BE WORTH IT
sorry i got emotional and my typing suferred
you are the most entertaining gimmick i've seen around here before the hotaru guy's act got old
gimmick ????? what do you mean by that?
マムシ、死んでください…DQNだ。
But if you don't, maybe you can become an English teacher when you're older. You are not going to be able to just move overseas at your age. Sorry but you are エスオーエル, kid.

> I CANT GET ANY OF THAT HERE
>>16

I know im dumb and thats why I need to go there I have nothing but anime and manga my life is a worthless shit hole and i hate it! DQN is nothing compared to what im used to being called! now please someone help me!!!
Man, if you think Japan is somehow going to be happier...
Move to Britain or something and learn to download things for free.
Also you can't get to Comiket more easily by living in Tokyo, lines start at 5 am and don't stop, so no reduction in travel time is enough. It's hotel or nothing.
i know that ive read comic party and genshiken and ive read countle articles on big spot
as for 21 i do download for free but i never knew I could download gunpla and statues? please tell
>>i never knew I could download gunpla and statues
This must be your first day on the Internet. You need a seriously top-notch printer and as much RAM as possible, but it's worth it.

Argh! Dumb gaijin Wapanese!
You is like so full of craps I roll dice in you and wins money!
God help me, I lol'd so hard at this thread! I recommend reading the articles on outpostnine.com if you want some insight into Japan. Also, Japanese society will NEVER, under any circumstance, accept a foreigner. At the same time, I'd tell the guy who runs the animu store to GTFO. Sounds like a bigger weeaboo than you, my friend.
Dudes.. do you really think all japanese are the same?
Of course. All asians look alike and they groupthink.
>>1
you are right man IT HURTS A LOT when someone says I cant make it to live in Japan or afford living in Tokyo..... but i will prove them all WRONG. Does anyone know any high-paying jobs in Tokyo??
>>42 It's probably cheaper to live and work in an exurb like Shizuoka, and visit Tokyo in your spare time, as it is only 2 hours or so travel time by Shinkansen.
Or you could try becoming a computer programmer.
Think about this: Could you make it living in San Francisco? If you aren't even able to do that, you won't do well with Tokyo.
This is some good fucking bullshit.
