        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.

          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
