Just a Touhou thread
As an absolute outsider whats the best way to get into Touhou? I only know some of the charaters from memes but nothing outside of that and that needs to be changed. They are cute tho, in spite of not knowing what she is like I think suika is cute.

DUBS & SUBS
as we all know subbed anime is superior. but are there any specific anime you prefer to watch dubbed? i always watch Naruto and Code Geass with the dub over the sub. mostly for nostalgia reasons, but i also believe that English Lelouch does a better job than Japanese Lelouch which is pretty rare.

A question on learning resources to draw otaku art
I have been wanting to learn how to draw otaku art for a while and Im thinking of finally getting serious.
After watching a few tutorials and trying things out Im really lost on how I should progress because at first I was just thinking of following a few videos but good ones are hard to find.
Im not looking for "How to get good fast" tips, just normal advice, I know ill suck ass for years, maybe forever.
Please share any good channels or recommendations you have on learning how to draw! I have linked a video I liked, sadly he doesnt make tutorials.

ren-chon
Last night I dreamt I got to play with Ren-chon all day
I felt satisfied like I had never before
Even though I woke up at like 8 I lay in bed until half 11 thinking about how happy I felt and how miserable the upcoming day was going to be even though it was all warm and sunny
does anyone else here like Ren-chon?

a necessary new genre. Drunken Carefree Podcast: The Anime. a liminal space inside the crack of things. A certain desire to not achieve any big goal nor do anything much, a carefreeness beyond all self-important things. In a world where infinite self-insisiting Oh-I'm-So-Important things assault your attention, your emotions and soul, to just sit and listen to the spontaneous ramblings of two random individuals is a sole island among the water-dragons of Serious Things.
and, yeah, as u get older, sometimes, u just don't want to.. really do anything.

Love Tomoko.

i humbly ask for someone to help me (as a newcomer too) to get into otaku culture. i want to step it up as i'm also trying to learn japanese now.
what qualifies (or qualified) someone as an otaku? i've mostly been an outsider in the technology and vidya sense and that's what i usually stick to in the imageboards i've been, but i've never really got into watching a ton of anime or manga besides some old stuff like SEL and monster.

How can I learn Japanese
my fellow man's of culture in /jp/... HOW TO LEARN JAPANESE? I think some here already can read and understand some basic level of japanese.
I don't want to do grammar books because most of them are... A bit of waste of time? I dunno. And I am veeeryy lazy to do anki cards. I was learning the kanji radicals but I stopped by one day and I lost my streak

currently I only know Hiragana.
I really wanted to learn because there is a lot's of japanese media that simply isn't translated, and I can't enjoy because:
>oopsie your nihongo level is N minus 6, owari da
Anyway, how do you guys learn? Don't recommend me Duolingo.

I HATE this partyvanrd.
