    dads on family vacations

    Idk how many American families go on vacation to Japan unless they’re nerds?

    Japan like knows this, they literally have stands to sell tickets to the Studio Ghibli museum in the Tokyo airport cuz they know that’s what tourists who come to Japan are gonna wanna do.

    Mind you I say all this as a guy who rather likes anime himself, there ain’t no hate here.

      Yeah I used to live in an area with a lot of Japanese tourists and so I took Japanese classes for like, employability

      Later I moved and when I would tell people I knew some Japanese they’d be like OH DO YOU WATCH JITSU NO KAIDENSUPPU NO BAKKURERUDAI no no I don’t know what the fuck that is, I have seen like 5 anime movies, and Dragonball and Cowboy Bebop in the 2000’s
