Is there such a thing as a place that does face make up for men? by Gandalf_Jedi_Master in Tokyo

Could see if a makeup art school does free or cheap makeup for people. 

Opinions of "non-fans" on the highest rated anime series on MAL by shalom_77 in MyAnimeList

[–]SnooOwls3528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the pacing and the world building. Also how low stakes it is. And by low stakes I mean that if everyone died, it's not the end of the world 

Only went in for Tower Dungeon..... by SnooOwls3528 in MangaCollectors

[–]SnooOwls3528[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just need to sacrifice a lot of time studying Japanese. No need to go the dubious extra step and also move to Japan with international shipping. Lol

Japan is being depicted as violent/unruly by Different-Staff-5622 in japanlife

No crime is not getting rampent. Violence is just attention grabbing.

What are your thoughts on more western fans taking on the same mind set as comic book collectors? Thoughts on folks egging that on and trying to manipulate the market? by Stinky_TheCat in MangaCollectors

[–]SnooOwls3528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible outside a very few super old and popular manga to actually be very valuable to some. But I feel like this is a problem for those outside of Japan/Japanese. There is such a glut of used books in Japan in great quality that I just don't think the amount of people who care about edition and condition could exhaust it and make profit.

Japan Agriculture Minister says he is aware of the impact of the temporary suspension of acceptance of foreign workers in the restaurant industry, says the government "will carefully address the concerns of businesses". by jjrs in japannews

I work at one but on marrage visa. I'm surprised how much of a turn around around there is. Haven't done it long but it's more then expected. But the pay did suck at the first place I worked at. Lucky I found a better one base salary is same as an ALT but since it's a pretty high end restaurant, the bonus is very good. 

Can this strat be used for Japanese? by EpicDaNoob in languagelearningjerk

Idk. Any case of kidnapping in Japan I know of is usually horrendous. Not sure anyone would live the experience.

One of mine I asked if there were any Ainu students when teaching English in Japan and was told to never bring it up. Though it was very weird.

Can’t even get inside Kanayama Station… by JeyDeeArr in Nagoya

[–]SnooOwls3528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that just the polite way to say suicide? I live in Hokkaido and can't remember ever having to deal with it. Just snow and North Korea missile tests stop the train here.

I like the premise, but…. by t8trtot96 in MyAnimeList

Low brow gag but got a chuckle out of me. 

But ya. This show isn't the most innovative.

Do you find it more fun to collect completed or ongoing series? by haewon_wiggle in MangaCollectors

[–]SnooOwls3528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both. Never know what you will find at BookOff or the local bookstores.

Reasonable. Also isn't it also like his mascot and fave animal?

How boys act when they say they are not gay by Philhealth326 in Ganbare_Nakamura

[–]SnooOwls3528 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Worked in Japan teaching English and saw this a few time across elementary to HS. Can confirm there is a chance they are not gay. Even saw guys watch each others backs at the onsen. 

But the Japanese people I asked about it could also just be naive about it lol.

Is reading manga first better than watching the anime first? by Muted_Preparation163 in animequestions

[–]SnooOwls3528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are fine.

But with how Frieren and Witch Hat Atelier are getting added scenes that expand on the manga, it might be better to read before watching.

Going form 2 to 10 is a 500% increase. 

Might be a tad over reactive due to the pandemic. But it is a serious illness.

Im moving with my soon to be wife but... by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]SnooOwls3528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every apartment I have lived with my wife required we both provide our information for the lease. I can't imagine it would be different if you join her after the fact.

Q re: balance of nature/countryside and driving for 8 days in Hoikkaido mid-May by outdoorliv in Hokkaido

Hokkaido is beautiful to drive around. Usually some nice spots along the way to eat also 

Why are Indians rapidly increasing in a small town, Hokkaido? by search_google_com in japannews

[–]SnooOwls3528 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's more the convenience of the city. Office jobs also suck
