			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks! They haz a <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Japanophile" target="_blank">dictionary entry</a> for the craze. I took the liberty of copy pasting it and adding my comments as &#8230; *drumrolls* a Japanophile.</p>
<p>1.     Japanophile     549 up, 92 down love it hate it</p>
<p>One who is terribly obssessed with Japan, and anything Japanese. He/she may even get sexual stimulation from anything remotely realtedd to Japan, or japanese culture.<br />
Ian is a Japanophile<br />
get this def on a mug Mug<br />
by Ian (I know, I&#8217;m sorry about the typo I made) Mar 31, 2003 share this</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Obviously not a Japanophile, because they could never type the right keywords into google to find anything. Either that, or a JE fan. Who knows? </span>]</p>
<p><span id="more-14858"></span><br />
2.     Japanophile     510 up, 143 down love it hate it</p>
<p>Often bears similarities to a nerd a Japanophile is someone who</p>
<p>1. Thinks Japan is the greatest country/culture in the world.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">If you want to wear a suit, don&#8217;t know what retirement is, and have a high probability of killing yourself instead of kililng someone else&#8230;. mmm maybe.<br />
</span></p>
<p>2. Tries to learn the japanese language simply by watching animes and repeats lines of it later on to attempt at impressing someone, they usually get the word wrong as well</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Yes perhaps, but that&#8217;s better than people that know jack fucking squat poo poo.<br />
</span></p>
<p>3. Has or would like to go out in cos play looking like a complete idiot dressed up as their favorite anime or RPG character</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Has not, though I am the spitting image of D (Vampire Hunter D). </span></p>
<p>4. Thinks every female in Japan is &#8220;innocent&#8221; or &#8220;shy&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Next to me everything looks innocent or shy. I ain&#8217;t joking.<br />
</span></p>
<p>5. Is pale and overweight</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Pale hai, overweight nai.<br />
</span></p>
<p>6. Spends most of there time online typically playing RPGs such as Ragnarok or Final Fantasy</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Never played em, got friends that did though. Biggest RPG is life btw.<br />
</span></p>
<p>7. Rarely leaves the house</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Exactly, why would I want to mingle with people that can&#8217;t spell and can&#8217;t google?<br />
</span></p>
<p>8. Spends a good 18 hours each week watching animes and if they recently bought a series will watch the lot in one go</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Everyone knows anime is soooo 20th century. lol<br />
</span></p>
<p>9. Wants to go to Japan to live there forever and possibly marry an Asian woman, they seem to belive Japanese women are easy to pick up.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Eh&#8230; while I&#8217;m actually accused of being a feckin lesbian simply because I am employed in IT, I prefer men. Not put off by Japanese men either, but as you know, they have an even bigger problem than white boys with small dicks.</span></p>
<p>10. Spends a good length of time on foreign sites and downloads animes from the internet whether there in English or not.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8230; Which part of the internet is actually interesting when it offers something Japanese in English. That&#8217;s loosah!<br />
</span></p>
<p>11. Buys anime magazines to see what the latest &#8220;hot&#8221; anime is so they can go out and purchase it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">What&#8217;s hot about Anime? I prefer fine Japanese man-ass. Sue me.<br />
</span></p>
<p>12. Has or would like to purchase swords from Japan to try and improve there already stupid image</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Perhaps you should learn the proper name.<br />
</span></p>
<p>13. Tries to hangout with other asians wheteher they are friends with them or not because &#8220;all asians are cool&#8221; they repeat this line often, and if they see an asian walking by them in the street they will either stare at them or talk about them for ages &#8220;&#8230; more&#8230; get this def on a mug Mug by Geek ,Japanophile, loser what&#8217;s the difference? Apr 21, 2005 share this</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">I don&#8217;t think she reads my blog. *coughs*. I mean, while not to let you down or anything. h00mins are h00mins. Have or have not the weird shaped eyes.<br />
</span><br />
3.     japanophile     205 up, 51 down love it hate it</p>
<p>A non-Japanese person who has a near-indescrimate love of all things from Japan. Japanophiles watch anime religiously, import overpriced novelty items from Japan, collect samurai swords, play untranslated Japanese video games, eat large amounts of Japanese food, rave about how Japanese culture is superior to every other culture on the planet, etc.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">In what way is it superior when people over there are whacking themselves faster than you can blink? Could never reconcile myself with that part. Nor could I ever accept their bathrooms. Besides they pretty much island people. Am not much a fan of island people for the reason most of them don&#8217;t have the common decency to speak english or pig-latin. Both of which, I could understand just fine. I watch Johnny&#8217;s religiously, definitely superior masturbation tools. </span></p>
<p>See also wapanese, egg, and otaku.<br />
The japanophile believed that a samurai sword could cut through solid steel like a blowtorch through butter.<br />

4.     japanophile     109 up, 38 down love it hate it</p>
<p>I know one of these. They may, on several occasions during the course of one week, be spotted:</p>
<p>- wearing several different shirts with kanji or anime characters on them<br />
- watching hours upon hours upon hours upon hours of anime and AMVs<br />
- talking about all of the greatest &#8220;Japanese music&#8221; songs<br />
- trying to draw manga but doing a really terrible job<br />
- trying to impress Japanese people with their vast knowledge of the person&#8217;s home country<br />
- wanting eagerly to be included in any conversation involving anime<br />
- calling self an otaku<br />
- insisting on using chopsticks and talking about how skilled they are with chopsticks<br />
- talking about martial arts and how they are skilled in it<br />
- eating sushi/other japanese food and talking about it a lot, and making sure people see them eating it</p>
<p>And the big one&#8230;</p>
<p>Saying stupid, random phrases from animes to make it s&#8230;<br />

by 308 Sep 12, 2006 share this</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Anime .. *sighs*. That&#8217;s basically a Japanophile &#8220;halfling&#8221;. HANBUN.<br />
</span><br />
5.     japanophile     98 up, 55 down love it hate it</p>
<p>A person who essentially rapes the culture of Japan. These people are anime freaks, and know absolutely NOTHING of the Japanese culture except from what they have seen in anime. They may think it quite cool to add &#8216;-san&#8217; or &#8216;-chan&#8217; to the end of people&#8217;s names, use their 4-word Japanese vocabulary in everyday situations and wear black all the time. These people generally only make friends with other Japanophiles and are seen mostly as losers.</p>
<p>These people watch a bunch of cheap, crappy animes that have gotten really popular because of the Japanophile culture. These animes include Inu-Yasha, Full-Metal Alchemist, Sailor Moon, and Naruto.<br />
&#8220;Konichiwa. ^-^ Inu-yasha is on! It&#8217;s my favorite because Kagome is SO kawaii.&#8221; (something a japanophile would say)<br />

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Waw, what little this knows of what&#8217;s out there.<br />
</span><br />
6.     japanophile     98 up, 59 down love it hate it</p>
<p>Someone completely obsessed with Japanese culture.<br />
May also refer to someone who is whoring out the culture, aka, Gwen Stefani.<br />
Can also verge on extremely annoying.<br />
Girl 1: That person is sooooo being a Gwen Stefani</p>
<p>Man 1: I despise Japanophiles. I hope they all die. Along with the many other groups of people I want to die.<br />

by Felix May 6, 2005 share this</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">What&#8217;s Gwen Stefani got to do with this? I&#8217;m very sorry this person wants to die.<br />
</span><br />
7.     Japanophile     73 up, 35 down love it hate it</p>
<p>An alternative to Wapanese. This is simply a defintion for someone who appreciates things related to Japan. Similar to a xenophile.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Um Japanese people are Xenophiles. Japanophiles are the people who kind of have taken a liking to the island peoples.</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s also considored an insult to critisize people who refuse to read American comics, instead of just manga. Likewise with cartoons as opposed to anime.<br />
&#8220;&#8230; She doesn&#8217;t take an interest in anything I show her, unless it&#8217;s Japanese.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pyschiatrist: &#8220;.. So she&#8217;s a Japanophile?&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">I don&#8217;t read comics. Ever. I prefer words. Or dirty pictures of Yaoi manga. Whichever one is just fine by me. </span></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago there was an extra fan repo posted at <a href="http://yamapi-blue.livejournal.com/36532.html" target="_blank">yamapi_blue</a>. The thing that stood out for me was the English book he was apparently carrying with him. I favorited it on Twitter since I knew I had a somewhat similar book for learning some essential Japanese. It has sentences like these:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alternate-reality.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dirtyjap4.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13263" title="dirtyjap4" src="http://www.alternate-reality.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dirtyjap4.jpg" alt="dirtyjap4" width="392" height="303" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.alternate-reality.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diryjap2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13265" title="diryjap2" src="http://www.alternate-reality.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/diryjap2.jpg" alt="diryjap2" width="274" height="144" /></a></p>

<p>Of course, that&#8217;s all the Japanese I&#8217;m going to need to be able to say for a lifetime. hahaha.</p>
<p>Available absolutely free from the intarweb, as all learning materials should be; provided you query the right place. INPUT! INPUT!</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Dress thingies that flail from the b00bs downwards. You&#8217;re not three years old ladies. It isn&#8217;t cute, it&#8217;s retarded. So is carrying a bag on the inside of your arm.</p>
<p>Plaided scottish things: as bad as it looks on men, it looks just as bad on you.</p>
<p>Hairdo&#8217;s on top of your head: we&#8217;re not visiting the zoo.</p>
<p>Skirts that flail: which century are you from?</p>
<p>Baggy overdress: while there&#8217;s nothing wrong with it at first sight, be ware that this is what fat girls wear on a low budget.</p>
<p>Honest to God, Keiko, Aibu, and the scottish dress girl, I hope they dress you gals better in the follow up eps. I couldn&#8217;t get used to it while I was visiting Japan, and I can&#8217;t get used to it when I&#8217;m watching drama. I want to see Japanese women in outfits I can take them seriously.</p>]]></content:encoded>
